TF = (what) the fuck

Sometimes people drop the “what” part

GMKtec sells solid mini x86 computers. I have one with an Intel N150, which can do hardware encoding with Intel QSV. https://www.amazon.com/GMKtec-mini-pc-computer-n150/dp/B0CH81C4K3

$137 rn on Amazon for 8gb/256gb N150

I have my update stuff put into a simple bash script that includes flatpak so that gets taken care of.

It still restarts and does the whole “Updating, please do not turn off your computer” screen. Does dnf take care of that all? Is it even necessary to restart?

Thanks, I’ll check those out

You can buy twice as many drives, though.

Haha I just got my kids into castle crashers after looking through my library for 2+ player games.

Awesome that the devs are still doing stuff with it.

Honestly I’d recommend buying refurbished drives and using them in a RAID array so that you can easily replace one for cheap(ish) if it goes bad.

before anyone says “RAID is not a backup” yeah I know but you can’t deny its capability to function as such. 3-2-1 always applies.

Yeah it’s a shame the path Garmin is going :(

Also: Garmin recently enshittified by simultaneously adding an AI slop component that works by taking all of your recorded fitness and location data and doing gods know what with it, as well as a paid subscription tier to their obligatory smartphone app – the latter after explicitly promising for many years that they wouldn’t. So not only is their hardware expensive (and their owners are now rightly pissed), they’re also liars. I would not give them any money until they shape up, if I were you. Assuming they ever do…

Gadgetbridge works with most Garmin models. I have the Instinct 2 Solar and have never created a Garmin account or downloader the app.

Are you doing things through docker compose? If so, feel free to PM me or reply here with your compose file and I’ll help as best I can

If you just want an internal webUI with video playback, I absolutely love MeTube.

It uses yt-dlp as a backend and has a lot of configuration and supports a lot of sites.

Exposing this to the outside isn’t a good idea because of the risk of DMCA or someone abusing your hard drive space

“This update reinforces our culture that fosters discipline — and discipline equals readiness,” Michael R. Weimer, the sergeant major of the Army, said in the statement

Threatening to kick out 40,000 people doesn’t equal readiness.

A 2021 study in the journal Military Medicine said that grooming techniques and topical medications could be effective in treating mild-to-moderate cases of pseudofolliculitis barbae, but more severe cases responded best to laser therapy. Long-term shaving exemptions “may be needed for treatment-resistant cases,” the study said.

I saw many cases first-hand that did not resolve with topical treatments and would have led to scarring unless a permanent waiver was granted. Laser treatment is a terrible compromise on this issue - would you permanently alter yourself to conform to the standards or would you say “Fuck that” and get out when your contract ends?

With how bad the military as a whole is hurting for people, I’m surprised they’re threatening more bullshit like this.

haha no

Does it have to be pterodactyl? I have two servers set up with Docker and they were very easy to set up.

I use this: https://github.com/itzg/docker-minecraft-server

I had some weird issues with my 3080 Ti on Fedora 41 and 42 and have recently switched to a 9070 XT.

Most games ran fine, but other programs acted strange while games were open. Space Engineers, Escape from Tarkov, and a couple other titles wouldn’t allow me to use other programs. The cursor would stay the same as in-game, even when alt-tabbed, and the Discord UI would become unresponsive.

I had several strange issues with my monitor flickering that didn’t resolve until I uninstalled and reinstalled my drivers.

I had a horrible issue with Minecraft and other OpenGL games that caused a strobing white screen while playing. I forgot how I resolved that one.

I had to reinstall drivers several times. I don’t know how much of it was self-inflicted or just how it goes on Linux.

None of these issues have come up while on my 9070 XT.

Just stock Firefox with the most up to date uBlock Origin (your version) should be sufficient. YouTube has been experimenting lately with some work arounds lately, so maybe you’re one of the few unlucky ones.

If you’re not opposed to doing it yourself, you can sign up for a free trial to Tidal and rip it.

I built a Tasker program that blocks unknown numbers if toggled and allows back-to-back calls through. It uses a Minimalistic Text widget for control.

I also built one for background images. Every time I turn my screen off, my background changes to a new (blurry, gray) picture of my wife. Double tapping will unblur and color it. I can toggle switching if I like a particular picture.

Haha I came here to link this. One of my favorite videos.
