Wow a reference to those Mac Vs PC ads from like 15 years ago

Plex is probably the easiest and most convenient, I think jellyfin is viable too, but I don’t use it.

If you’ve got the money, Roon or Audirvana are the gold standard of self hosted music

If you want something similar, but free, look into things like volumio or subsonic based solutions.

This is a good little roguelike indie game, most runs are done within half an hour and there’s enough of a metagame to keep me interested enough to come back IMO

Nah the argument is that most of those people shouldn’t have needed to make the journey by car if the town was built properly.

FWIW I’ve always intuitively held the same distinction. Streets are walkable and have stuff on them, cars optional but at low speeds if they are there. Roads are not walkable and link up areas for car use.

Funnily enough you can have up to 65536 files in a directory in FAT, so you could technically end up with PR~65536.BAS

Oh it’s even better, windows explorer can’t really do case sensitive

But NTFS is a case sensitive file system

This occasionally manifests in mind boggling problems

A sticker, an ahk script and an overclocking profile and you can live your dreams with this very machine

Essentially all I’m looking for is a component that will “detect” current on the horn switch wire, and close a separate circuit.

I think you’re describing a transistor

Made me go and check, but surprisingly lemmy doesn’t have an emojipasta community

I would have thought that one would have made the jump

Sometimes there’s a benefit in getting open source code into proprietary software. Think libraries implementing interoperability APIs, communication protocols, file formats, etc

That’s what permissive licenses are for.

If some company wants to keep their code closed and they have a choice between something interoperable or something proprietary that they will subsequently promote, and the licence is the only thing stopping them from going for the open source approach, that’s worse.

Completely agree that a good breadth of everything else is suited to copyleft licensing though

If your GPU has two power connectors you should always use two runs from the PSU.

You only have to ask yourself why they would bother with the second connector if it was okay to just attach a little extension to the end of a single cable.

Some cards may run fine with this setup, but you’re going to be increasing fire risk by potentially running more amps down a wire than is safe to.

I’ve been an engineer for about two decades now and pretty much everyone I’ve ever worked with has expressed that they would never work for Facebook, betting companies or defense companies.

Amazon is probably next on the shit list and then Google, but each to a much lesser extent than the ones before. Working for Google still holds a level of prestige for some people.

FWIW I don’t think you just lose bandwidth with longer cables, but rather it just loses sync and the cable stops working.

I have a thunderbolt 4 hub that I wanted to tuck away somewhere, so I tried several longer cables (some usb4 as you said, one actual longer TB cable) none of them worked reliably like the 30cm cable that came with it. It would sporadically lose connection for a couple of seconds before reconnecting in most cases or it just wouldn’t connect at all.

Not sure if my hub or cable choices are the problem or if it really does just have to be as short as possible in some cases.

:D

I guess out of fear that we get another gitlab situation, where the open source offering has a load of key features eventually kept behind a paywall

Good to have the option, but probably only worth it if you play anti cheat infested games or subscribe to game pass. I’ll stick with the OS optimised for the hardware

Pretty good newsreader though

Well that’s not good news. This feels like a bit of a problem because a lot of people probably wouldn’t vote on stuff they otherwise would, out of fear of attracting the attention of some nutjob with too much time on their hands.

It kinda flies in the face of the “downvote (and maybe report) then move on” attitude that most of us will have taken on from Reddit.

I wonder if the devs have plans to correct this as I don’t see how this won’t limit engagement from good users aware of this and amplify toxic ones (due to people not downvoting out of fear of retaliation).
