“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.

I’ve never heard of xpipe until now - I just set it up and this is amazing

I saw this in “all”

People here don’t like Nintendo for their treatment of modders and emulator devs. Nintendo is a very litigious company and shuts down any fun project related to their IP.

Space Engineers. I set up a server for me and my friends with a few mods.

So far, we have an undefended asteroid with a ton of resources and production capabilities. It was attacked recently by a small pirate ship but I fought it off.

I’m in the process of making a large nomad ship - a mobile base.

You could assign 100 billion addresses to each bacteria on planet Earth with IPv6

Holy shit this is such an insane number

The gold standard for transcoding these days is a newer gen Intel CPU with integrated graphics.

The integrated GPU on those intel chips can do Intel QuickSync / QSV which will handle a dozen streams at once without breaking a sweat.

So far the closest thing was Plasma Bigscreen, but it’s still in development.

Functionally, it’s the right thing I’m looking for, but it’s not polished enough to fulfill my needs.

If this allowed folders and a GUI for settings, I think it’d be a winner.

Yeah another user mentioned this - definitely my #1 choice if it were fully released.

Oh fuck yeah this looks like the one.

Probably gonna do Fedora + KDE Bigscreen.

EDIT: It’s not released yet due to inactive development… bummer.

Wife would not approve of this because she loses her phone all the time. Also the kids don’t have phones.

I am looking for a solution that can be controlled by my remote

Do you use steam big picture mode?

I’d prefer not integrating Steam too much, since this is a shared computer that my kids also use.

I do like the UI of big picture mode, so if there were something similar that could be used by a remote or controller, that’d be top tier. Steam games could be added in via shortcuts
