Lemmy is a failed Reddit alternative

I first joined Lemmy back during the big Reddit exodus of last year. I like many others wanted an alternative to Reddit, and I thought that this might’ve been the one. I made two accounts, one on lemmy.world and another on sh.itjust.works, in the June of last year that I used on and off for about 4 months....

I was on reddit slightly before subreddits were added as functionality, so 16ish years, and lemmy to me just feels like that 2008ish reddit except most of the userbase is 40 instead of 18

I see people servicing vending machines in public all the time, but the ones out in the city it happens at 2-5am. The ones in my building, it’s roughly weekly at noon. Most of the ones I pass with any regularity don’t have any IC functionality, but we still keep a Waon card around for when we’re visiting nearby cities

Kei vehicles are exempt from most Japanese safety standards, because they’re meant for city driving with max speeds of 40-60 kph and everyone driving them knows and acknowledges that you’re just fucked if you get into an accident at speeds higher than that (and not doing great even at 40kph). It’s an explicit trade of safety for lower cost

AMD has preemptively dropped support for Windows 10 on its new Ryzen AI 300 Series chips (www.tomshardware.com)

In another attempt to convince us that “AI PCs” are somehow fundamentally different from the PCs we’re already using, AMD has officially dropped support for Windows 10 from its new AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series platform. This can be observed by glancing at the official AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 specs page, which now only lists...

That’s a bit harsh

You don’t even need to read the article, just the summary already on lemmy

PL2 on a 14900T is 106W

Edit: I’m an idiot, T series is low power socketed, not mobile. 14900HX has a TDP of 55W but boosts short term to 157W, which is still pretty ridiculous

mbfalzar ,

Do you have an example? Or is there a distro that does this by default? I’m pretty new to Linux and have never heard of it before

mbfalzar ,

Aren’t those the distros? Which one pulls packages using torrent

mbfalzar ,

There’s generally one or two slots connected directly to the CPU running in x16 or x8 if there’s two and both are connected, 4 lanes linking the CPU to the chipset, and the rest of the slots connect to the chipset and share that same x4 link. If your cpu has 24 lanes (Ryzen do/did a few years ago, Intel might but didn’t a few years ago), the remaining 4 lanes usually go to an NVMe slot

What aluminum cans are you getting that don’t have a plastic lining?

My 3900X idles at 35 and hits 65 when it’s 100% all cores. With a decent cooler modern AMD runs pretty chill

I actually like the taste of pure cranberry juice, but it’s too expensive to buy just for drinking so I mostly end up drinking half the bottle while I cook holiday meals after I’ve started the cranberry sauce

In a since-deleted post on her site Pottermore, the writer argued that while freeing the slaves was noble in isolation, being enslaved is what’s better for the elves right now and they should stay that way until they politely ask to not be enslaved.

archive.md/…/to-spew-or-not-to-spew-hermione-gran…

I don’t know who the original writer is and I don’t know of an archived copy before Pottermore ended and everything was transferred to Wizarding World, but I believe it’s from an era of Pottermore where she wrote the blog entries herself

mbfalzar ,

That’s not true, there’s also Helena Bonham Carter and the now deceased Robbie Coltrane

mbfalzar ,

Nah the actual in universe explanation is that Dobby is weird for wanting to be freed. Literal direct quote from Goblet of Fire

“But Harry set Dobby free, and he was over the moon about it!” said Hermione. “And we heard he’s asking for wages now!”

“Yeah, well, yeh get weirdos in every breed. I’m not sayin’ there isn’t the odd elf who’d take freedom, but yeh’ll never persuade most of ’em ter do it — no, nothin’ doin’, Hermione.”

Hermione looked very cross indeed and stuffed her box of badges back into her cloak pocket.

As funny as that would be I don’t think it would be as funny as when the internet memed Morbius into bombing twice, which was also Sony

I mean, using a controller in and of itself is not suspect, but the model they used is the cheapest one you can get with a recognizable name and is known for being unreliable, which is absolutely a suspect decision to make when it’s the only method of control

mbfalzar ,

I’ve got a VPN set up on my home server so when I leave the house, my public IP is still the same on my laptop as it is at home. If you’ve got people sending you messages directly via IP why wouldn’t you just set that up?

mbfalzar ,

Not actually! I mean, yes, you’d need another device, but your router itself can be the VPN host if it’s the right model. The VPN server software is extremely lightweight, so most higher end routers just include it as an option in management, but you can get away with a cheap router and something like a cheap raspberry pi/clone, which would also give you something to put pihole on

My main monitor is a 27 inch so the task bar is only like 23 inches, but the amount of stuff I have open at any given time has my taskbar 2/3 of the way across my screen. That said, I’ve had mine at the top of the screen ever since my iMac G3 and Windows 11 doesn’t allow that either

mbfalzar ,

Windows 10 definitely has but they don’t come back once you delete them, which is garbage but less garbage

mbfalzar ,

For recipe tracking and “what to buy” I’ve actually had good success with grocy.info

Has really cut down on buying things to use only to get home and find out I already had half of it and forgot

mbfalzar ,

I also am glad to have this tool but am responding to you in particular to find out what the certain book series is where 8/9/10 are filler novels, because I hate read things sometimes

mbfalzar ,

YouTube Red content can only be seen with Premium, but not only does Premium not have new exclusive content, Premium features don’t work with member videos if you’re paying for channel membership

Basically everything I have is type C now because I only want one kind of cord to worry about, but mini USB will always have my heart

Can someone demystify computer Ports for me? Please? Blocking, unblocking, opening, allowing, VPNs and their effect, what ports are and what they do, step by step, when you have to interact with them?

It’s the one thing when I’m configuring things that makes me wince because I know it will give me the business, and I know it shouldn’t, but it does, every time. I have no real idea what I’m doing, what it is, how it works, so of course I’m blindly following instructions like a monkey at a typewriter....

mbfalzar ,

Is there a better way to get stuff onto my 3DS without removing the SD card

mbfalzar ,

Just for shits and giggles I’ve sent pictures from my Switch to my Wii with ftp

Just as an uninvolved third party, I’m trying to figure out how NVMe entered this response to a question about a SATA to SATA form factor converter

mbfalzar ,

My desktop has a wireless card in an m.2 slot (as do those of my wife and both children), one of my laptops has a SATA m.2 as its only drive because it only has a SATA m.2 slot, another laptop has a SATA m.2 as the scratch drive because it has one NVMe and one SATA, and “the only things you plug into an m.2 slot right now are nvme drives” is such a wild take that I’m baffled as to where it came from

Roku has patented a way to show ads over anything you plug into your TV (arstechnica.com)

A patent application from the company spotted by Lowpass describes a system for displaying ads over any device connected over HDMI, a list that could include cable boxes, game consoles, DVD or Blu-ray players, PCs, or even other video streaming devices. Roku filed for the patent in August 2023 and it was published in November...

On fresh installs before running the debloater scripts there’s plenty of Try Candy Crush and it’s already got Office 365 pinned and accidentally clicking that takes you to the store page, and there’s some other shit I can’t remember by name

My first time reading them, at the age of like, 10? 11? I was so excited for Order of the Phoenix because it was coming out soon and I’d loved the first one that I got as a birthday gift. I slammed through 2 and 3, then 4 just kept going and felt so bad that by the end I wasn’t excited for Order anymore and didn’t finish the series until Order was releasing as a film. They weren’t even that good as a kid if you read anything else

How to fool a laptop into thinking a monitor is connected?

Hello! I converted an old laptop with a broken screen into a home server, and it all works well except for one thing: when I reboot it (via ssh), if no screen is connected, it will get stuck and refuse to boot. as soon as I connect an HDMI monitor, the fans will start spinning and it will start booting as usual. Then I can...

mbfalzar ,

It’s definitely only some. ASRock motherboards almost always allow headless boot, MSI almost never do iirc, Gigabyte and Asus are really model specific

mbfalzar ,

Could you elaborate on this? I think you mean wireless PCVR over wifi, but that’s achievable lag free on wifi 5

mbfalzar ,

They don’t specify how near zero “near-zero” is, but I use an Oculus Quest 2 and VR Desktop and the latency is 4-8ms, which is 0.5-1 frame at 120fps. I know Air Link is bad, but that seems more down to their software than anything else so a higher tech router isn’t going to do much

mbfalzar ,

Pretty much all my semiconductors operate well above room temperature! (relatively)

To add more context to this, this literally happened yesterday, but I bought a Kobo Touch (the N905 from 2011) new in box with a receipt from every it was purchased a week after launch in July 2011. I took it out of the box, plugged it into my computer to charge, and once it had some juice I followed the onscreen setup and it just works. It was discontinued 8 years ago but the links and setup instructions are still active and functioning. It doesn’t really feel any cheaper than my Paperwhite from 2017, and it reads epubs natively unlike the Paperwhite, so should be just fine for my daughter

People also forget about the loan sharking they did in Africa to take advantage of the most desperate

mbfalzar ,

Missing one letter is a severe misspelling?

mbfalzar ,

Let’s run this through one word at a time

ipados - name of a product, trademarked, spelled correctly

brave - normal English word, spelled correctly

yutube - missing the letter “o”

ads - normal English word, spelled correctly

adblock - name of a product, spelled correctly. Not an extension available for the browser in question as far as I can tell, but that’s the kind of thing you find out when you google it
