Looks like iterative waterfall

What’s up with how toxic comments are on /. these days?

picnicolas ,

But product make money… and we want money now.

Anything from a municipal supply tends to be chlorinated, as opposed to water from your own well.

Any recs on a thin waffle iron? Everything is Belgian style these days.

I’ve done a lot of tangzhong for dinner rolls and hamburger buns, but haven’t tried it for my sourdough yet! I’ll definitely be experimenting with scalding some of the flour next loaf, thanks for the inspiration!

I’ll take an 8 bay NAS with Thunderbolt/USB 4 for the best of both worlds. My only problem is that I’m very sensitive to sound and I don’t want spinning hard drives in my office.

Problems running *arr stack on Raspberry Pi

Hello everyone, I have a Raspberry Pi 4B with 2GBs of RAM. I am trying to run all the *arr stack via docker containers(5 or 6 containers) but this causes my Raspberry Pi to lag very much. I could not use any of the stack’s web interface or SSH to the pi during the lag and to fix it I had to reset the pi....

You don’t want a swap file on the SD card as excessive writes will kill it rather quickly.

Just checked on my pi4 with 4GB of ram that has been running beautifully as a NAS with 2x10TB USB drives mirrored, *arr suite, and Jellyfin for a couple of years, only 250mb of RAM free. I’m glad I splurged and got the 4gb model.

Thanks for sharing a hopeful anecdote about long COVID, they’re few and far between. I’m glad you got better.

I really empathize from nearly 5 years of gut dysfunction and related autoimmune issues. Healing felt like a miracle.

If it had a split screen view on iPad, posts on a side bar and content on the main screen, I would be so happy.

I understand your concern based on how corporations tend to run these days, but this is a lot of speculation. It’s good to be skeptical though.

My guess is that they want to use a single account across more services unrelated to GOG, akin to the way google SSO works for gmail, YouTube, drive, etc. If the account is owned by a subsidiary that might not be possible for other subsidiaries to use the same account per data regulation rules.

I’m very happy with ansible-NAS! ansible-nas.io

It takes some extra time to understand and configure up front on another computer, but once you do, reimaging the server in case of problems takes a single command.

Sodium hydroxyde is lye, calcium hydroxide is lime. Not sure how that relates to water glassing, I’ve never heard of it.

I break open a couple L-theanine capsules into my cold brew carafe when I’m making a fresh batch. It’s like tea but rocket fuel.

Daggerfall Unity recently reached version 1.0

Daggerfall Unity is a recreation project letting you easily play and mod The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall on modern operating systems, like Linux. It recently reached a major milestone, version 1.0. Below is a link to a video showing how good modded Daggerfall (originally released in 1996) can look in 2024:...

picnicolas ,

I’ve been enjoying the nostalgia with vanilla daggerfall unity for the past week, having played daggerfall a ton as a child when it originally released. It works beautifully. These mods are very impressive and I may give them a whirl once things stabilize from the big rush of interest with the 1.0 stable release.

Wifi inside the cage?

I’d read it ;)

User reports Google Maps proposed a sponsored detour to a trip (paquita.masto.host)

Original toot in Spanish says: “OK, so I need some alternatives to Google Maps, because I just decided seconds ago to stop using it after I got proposed a trip with a completely unnecessary detour which adds two extra minutes just because it pass by a gas station that sponsors this trip.”

picnicolas ,

Nope, but I did move from Waze to Google Maps and now settled on Apple Maps because of increasing enshittification and ad bloat.

picnicolas ,

Nope, I think our only hope is the EU forcing more openness on the platform. Thankfully there are safari addons now, they’re useful though limited. I just wish we had Firefox and its extension library like android does now.

I actually played it with my son coop a decade ago when he was quite young, he’d sit in my lap and we’d each have one hand on the controller. We played it through that way and had a blast. I remember him being quite scared at some points, and the game was an emotional rollercoaster, but we very much enjoyed playing it together and I could see it working as a coop game.

I had to stop playing Half Life Alyx when it got to the dark flashlight bit with zombies jumping out at you. Nearly gave me a heart attack. Definitely couldn’t handle it IRL. edit: autocorrect

picnicolas ,

Same. I was planning to but never did and that was years ago. Hoping to set up the old vive again soon.

picnicolas ,

If you’re only accessing the server remotely via Tailscale and no ports are open, is it necessary to have the server on its own isolated VLAN? I like accessing my server locally most of the time and via Tailscale when I’m out and about.

goatsarah , to piracy en-gb

AppleTV hardware now supports Tailscale, with exit nodes.

I am astonished that Apple allowed this blatant circumvention of region coding, but they did.

Get it while it’s hot, I guess.

picnicolas ,

The second reason for me was advertising inside Plex, and generally a UI focused on what they want me to see instead of what I want to do. Jellyfin isn’t a commercial product so it won’t get enshittified over time.

Sharing and/or selling that data to third parties that do have personally identifiable information… now they know everything about your porn habits et al., that data is more easily leaked the wider it’s spread, you’re more easily doxxed/blackmailed, etc.

picnicolas ,

Collecting the data is necessary for the functionality of the site. Lemmy collects that same data. Sharing that data with third parties and potential ramifications of that is the issue I’m raising.

picnicolas ,

Nice of these AI companies to add opt out capability after they’ve trained their models on all available data.

picnicolas ,

Reiverr looks great, I can’t wait to try it out. Thanks for sharing.

Have you managed to avoid ads on YouTube? Does it work well for streaming games from a PC?
