There was a publication, maybe in german, not sure, which stated that bumblebee can't fly due to their aerodynamics which i think assumed that a bumblebee was a fixed wing aircraft, which it obviously isn't. Or maybe it was a hoax to proof that hoaxes spead and can't be retracted. Not sure. I think it's quite old actually, dating back to the 1920s or 30s.

Absolutely! Once false information is out there it can't be retracted even if the article itself is retracted. Bumblebees can't fly and vaccines cause autism are good examples of that. The only difference i can imagine is that LLMs have a much larger reach and may spread shit faster

I drive an EV, so I'm super smart! /s

I'm actually surprised. I didn't expect that he'd straight up copy Putin. I expected more. Don't ask me why, but I did

And yet, 60% of the times, my partner is wrong, because I haven't finished talking. She looses focus because she thinks she knows, then interrupts, with a misunderstanding and then continues as if nothing has happened.

The dissonance between "I know what you are talking about before you've finished" and "i can barely focus on what you are talking about" is astonishing. I absolutely feel you.

Who said racism can't be funny?

Maybe I should've paid >10.000 in spares plus labour for a car I originally spend 21.000 for 8 years ago to buy diesel for for about 2€ per liter rather than switching to an ev for the privilege of ne being tracked rather than "giving up".

I assume your old vehicle also doesn't have any type pressure sensors?

Dude, my car has GPS and a 4G internet connection as well as my android phone and my work required iPhone ... In a world like this, Tyre sensors are probably not required to track me.

Well, try large amounts of heroine. You'll certainly not regret doing large amounts of heroine...

Edit: Thanks to the feedback I found out that the playback issues are caused by transcoding setting. I had to select QSV instead of VA-API. Now playback is smooth with any bandwidth setting.

If there are any recommendations regarding data storage in my setup, it'd be much appreciated!


So, I am running Proxmox on an old thinkpad (Intel I7 11th gen, 32 gb ram) to host home assistant, nextcloud, npm and jellyfin. I was just able to set up hardware acceleration with the iris xe driver on jellyfin and install the client on my TV, but replay struggles at 4k hdr content. I doubt that this is actually the CPU, but my LAN interface. Buying the laptop I didn't notice that it doesn't have an RJ45 socket so I have to use an USB-C adapter instead.

Additionally, I will definitely run into storage issues before getting anywhere near a reasonable movie database and adding more and more external usb drives does not seem a good idea.

I think I need a NAS. But looking at used prices of a decent 4bay device, makes me wonder if "sidegrading" my PC wouldn't be a better option. I could buy a new mainboard, cpu and memory, install all HDDs in my current case, and move my current hardware to a new, smaller one.

Does that make sense? Or is it more likely that my hardware is just incorrectly configured and a NAS would make more sense? Or should I get a DAS and set up USB pass throughout? Or...? What's your opinion?

 

Hello fellow linuxers

I am kinda confused as to why certain Linux distros are mentioned in in every others post while others seems to get litten attention or are being bashed at worst. People advertise for Mint because it's so easy to use, while I personally miss it's benefits over Ubuntu.

Personally I used KDE Neo for some time and switched to Fedora 42 a few weeks ago. It has all the same tools as basically every other distros. What is missed is not necessary or available. I can also seamlessly manage my proxmox server through ssh and fish and take up minor programming tasks on python or arduino.

Am I missing something important, or just seeing a loud minority with very specific requir?
