What the hell is up with Nebraska?

Not sure if it's gotten worse - I've only been picking locks since the beginning of the pandemic.

You can even fly with them! I do a bit of locksport for fun and have gotten quite the side eye when picking open padlocks while waiting for a plane.

 

I've recently gotten on board with Invidous/Viewtube - and they're both great in their own ways. I like not having the algorithm hide or force new content down my throat, but I'm wondering if there's a way to take this to the next level.

I also subscribe to nebula - and have some patreon exclusive videos. It would be amazing to gather them all together in one location - is there some self-hosted option for this? Maybe some combination of yt-dlp + plex/jellyfin?

Jesus Gary Oldman is in everything and I love it. Has the man won an Oscar yet?

Does it have Discovery as a normal app store? You might be able to use that.

Honestly, give the terminal a shot - it's not as complicated as you may think.

I would consider using your Synology for what it's good at - storage.

My homelab has a Synology DS1618 and servers are Lenovo M90q systems. They have enough compute to get the job done, and use the Synology NFS mount for storage.

  • Step 1: download deb
  • Step 2: open a terminal
  • Step 3: sudo dpkg -i /path/to/yourde.deb

Now whether or not all the packages are fubared at this point is unknown, but that's how to install a deb file.

How long before companies start using this as an excuse for return to office?

Sure, you've been working here since before the pandemic, but maybe now you're a North Korean spy! The only way to be sure is for you to come into the office and average 4 days a week.

Fun fact, it doesn't have to be an amendment - it can just be a normal law. The check on judiciary is if Congress and the President both say, " you got it wrong SCOTUS" and pass a law that specifically says things are different.

Now I'm basing that on my 9th grade civics knowledge which could be wrong... But I thought that's why there were pushes for contraceptive laws post gutting of abortion rights. Basically telling the high court, this is what we're doing now.

As someone who used Latinx in a Lemmy post and then was down voted to oblivion, just go Latino or Latina. But good on you for asking people how they'd like to be called.

The one good thing about Google's Social media experiment was that guy who reviewed USBC cables to see if they actually adhered to the standards.

It's shocking how many didn't have the proper resistors or components to properly handle data and charging.

I mean, I guess they don't "pop-up" as the correction says, but they definitely seem to appear when you're driving and the map pans. It's super distracting and frankly annoying AF when it keeps highlighting stores that I've never visited or would want to visit.

 

I've been running Viewtube in my homelab for my family after the actual YouTube started misbehaving. Was it because I use Firefox? DNS adblock? Unlock origin? Who knows!

I absolutely love that with Viewtube I can make the front page only my subscriptions. It seems to be relatively low on resource usage as well.

But lately, the lack of features is starting to get to me - namely closed captions and "Add to queue".

Are there any other self hosted options that are more feature rich in this regard?

I've been quite happy with my Steam Deck - both as a gaming console and as a secondary computer when it's docked, but for newer titles I picked up a Rog Zephyrus M16 (2023) last year.

Now that Windows is going off the deep end with AI, I'm looking to dual boot/trial Linux on this laptop with the goal to give Microsoft the boot.

It's a beefy laptop:

  • 13th Gen i9-13900
  • 32GB Memory
  • NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070
  • 1TB NVMe (Windows)
  • 2TB NVMe (Linux)

I added the second drive to avoid any issues with dual-booting with Grub/Windows Bootloader - instead making the Linux device the primary boot device and spamming Esc if I want to change to the Windows drive.

For distributions, I'm most familiar with Debian/Ubuntu - it's the daily driver for my work laptop, and the vast majority of my home lab VMs are Ubuntu. With the Steam Deck, I started to get more into Arch with the Steam Deck, and now it's the OS of choice for my HTPCs for simple streaming/Plex media player. I've also messed around with ZorinOS (basically a fancy skinned Ubuntu).

I need some advice on what to throw on this laptop - and some suggestions on how to squeeze the best performance out of this (Optimus vs. Proprietary NVIDIA vs. Open source drivers).

For those who celebrate, or those who appreciate Terry Pratchett's Discworld, I hope your day is full of jolly, holly, and other things that end with "olly".

I find pasta makes everything weird and fun.

Not quite what I wanted, but that pasta beard tho.
