Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Not owning makes you less materialistic and is a virtue
7·6 days agoSteam library more game rental from Gabe imo.
Much like other media, ownership is not giving money to a proprietary app store for access they control.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Honey, I Shrunk The Vids [Mr. Universe Edition] v1.0.9English
2·4 months agoCool, I just tend to run one liners or little shell scripts but nice to see more of this stuff appearing.
Worth considering the backend too imo, as I imagine I’m not the only one here trying to leverage the most out of potatoes with not a lot of storage.
On my little n100 boxen for example having a building ffmpeg for the cpu/igpu to use hardware decoding gives ~5x the encode speed for a slightly larger filesize for hevc.
Afaiu it was them that passed it to humans just prior to the deluge.
Thankfully Noah invented wine to balance things out.

Technology@lemmy.world•I'm struggling to think of any online services for which I'd be willing to verify my identity or ageEnglish
7·4 months agoPersonally I’ve found online banking, medical and travel services rather hard to resist.
Those new mobile phone things the kids are using also have biometrics and internets and look pretty handy to have around.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Can we please, PLEASE for gods sake just all agree that arch is not and will never be a good beginner distro no matter how many times you fork it?
25·1 year agoIt’s a really simple system meant to ‘just work’ and provides an idiot sheet you can copy and paste from for those who don’t ever want to RTFM
as long as the system isn’t doing anything important Arch is great for noobs fucking around, it’s high grade spoonfeeding and doing what you are told.
Power users use RHEL, Ubuntu, Gentoo. Governments, armies, tech giants and that kinda stuff, Arch is more for newbies karma farming on r/unixporn for lolz

1·2 years agoThanks, I do have backups of important stuff.
I think bcachefs is what I’m looking for, but I’m gonna wait a bit until development calms down a little and keep on the way I am at the moment.

4·2 years agoThanks,
bcachefs could be the answer but I don’t really want my data on a fs I need this week’s kernel to access properly. Maybe I should just hold off for a few months.
I’m not monitoring the drives, I have backups of important stuff…but would be nice to tag more important stuff amongst the mediocre stuff on the off chance both drives don’t fail at the same time.

Mum was moaning about this last night reminiscing about the good old days when the act of writing actually involved writing instead of whatever the kids duct taping emotes, memes & comic sans to some predictive text via a spellcheck on the socials for points clusterfuck is going on these days.
A friend had had the gall to send a birthday card that had rather clearly been ordered online and shat out of a production line with fake handwriting…the ultimate insult.
