I could never make something like this. I would swear to eat one and then the whole plate is gone before I know it.

Those look so damn good.

When I bought my home, the fridge had a big ol burn spot on the side of it from the stove being right next to it lol. That’s probably what people may be referring to. I never use those two burners because of that despite getting a new stove and fridge since moving in just seeing that. Also the refrigerator sides will naturally get hot/warm as they expel heat from normal operations, so putting it next to something that is hot can be somewhat counterproductive for that too. Not going to cause it to overheat, but may not be the best position if you can help it. Kind of like how you wouldn’t want to put a heater positioned near your gaming PC if you want the best possible performance.

I just set up a Windows 11 PC this week for testing (did it through a USB installer upgrading from Windows 10 Pro) and I was able to use the bypass OOBE/BYPASSNRO in command prompt and was able to create using a local account. I kept it offline without connecting to the internet during setup into getting to the desktop. This was using the latest Windows ISO on Microsoft’s website.

Safe to say, I think it still is doable even going the reset method in Windows. Just keep it offline during initial setup.

I knew a Pilipino family that seemed to pronounce it both ways.

I tend to think it’s due to those around them. Like this kid I knew from school who came from the UK; with us as his friends, he had an American accent like the rest of us. But as soon as he talked to his parents or his sister, he had this heavy English accent. He seemed to be aware of it but had no control over it.

Many stories are heavily one sided. We only ever get one person’s side of the story and that person experienced it in one way and often doesn’t take the other person’s side into account. Not necessarily because they’re a bad person, but because that’s just how humans are. We don’t often put ourselves in someone else’s shoes and look at the situation differently or can always give someone else the benefit of the doubt.

“My boyfriend left last night without saying goodbye which he never does so obviously this means something is wrong.” When in reality, he did say goodbye, but we just couldn’t hear it over the sound of the TV in the other room. Everyone hearing the story agrees that is weird behavior and jumps to the worst conclusion along with the OP.

And then it just being the internet, people often go to the extreme on things and everyone has their own perspective from their own experiences and cultures around the world. One guy hears a story of a woman going out with her friends and he remembers how his girlfriend from years ago used to do that and she was actually cheating on him, so of course his trauma has him viewing that story through his own lens and going to the worst possible conclusion.

People forget details which can make things sound worse than they are, or they just forget to include some things that don’t always seem relevant which can greatly impact how a situation actually unfolded and give others the wrong idea. “We had an argument last night about something stupid that he’s jealous of me hanging out with my girlfriends”, neglecting to mention that he has a valid reason because you were doing some suspicious things years ago in this same way. Anyone hearing the story from your point of view is going to conclude you are the victim there without that additional context you neglected to include.

And then it just is how it is. What other advice can people realistically give? Stay with them is the only other alternative most people can muster up. Beyond that, go to therapy and that’s it. No one really has much else to offer in the way of sympathy and judgment. No one realistically knows how to navigate someone else’s relationship and all its unique dynamics, let alone their own relationships and all the variables life throws at them. We often only ever think a situation only has two options and nothing else, “break up or stay together”.

Even Microsoft Edge has had this for at least a year if not more.

Count Dooku looking good with long hair!

It portably wasn’t that hard to do. The ROI of something like this was probably worth it even if only a small amount of people will actually use it.

Why exactly does this need to run a full OS?

I’d like this. There’s always some obscure movies you can’t get that someone else may have that aren’t yet on torrent sites.

It took me over a decade to find Who Made the Potatoe Salad until it finally popped up on some torrent site a few years ago. Would have been nice to have this for that and to share some of my obscure movies too. I have a wide collection still just sitting on my shelf since it’s all digital now.

In case if the coop ever gets shut down or I lose my membership, it’d be nice to have a reliable database so I can get my movies back.

This is the start of some nasty privacy violating shit. But the average people are going to eat it because of convenience and then wonder why shit keeps getting worse for their privacy.

She’s been outed as not being the nice person she appears to be on TV. There was a big controversy a few years ago that some of her crew had a lot of stories about her behaviors behind the camera that show that she wasn’t such a nice person to the people who helped make her show a reality.

I don’t remember specifics, but it’s not hard to find if you go looking for videos or articles on it. From what I remember, it was the typical diva sort of behaviors like don’t look her in the eye and being rude to others. Nothing too too serious like sexual assault but still not nice stuff and people view her as a phony since.

There were also some things she did to guests like when she “forced” Mariah Carey to reveal she was pregnant by offering her alcohol and Mariah basically had to admit she was pregnant as to why she wouldn’t drink alcohol. Kind of a shitty thing to do to someone.

 

This is absolutely incredible being able to experience this in my lifetime. Never got to experience Apollo and always wanted to see us make our return back to the moon someday.

Congratulations to the teams involved and good luck to the crew!

 

It seems like cancer is the biggest thing we all think of when it comes to medicine and what we’d most like to eradicate from our species. So my question is phrased this way out of curiosity what the second worst thing medicine is currently trying to eradicate.

 

When I was a kid, I went to some big family and friend get together with other kids and adults.

As was tradition, a lot of the older adult men would play dominoes and drink beer. This night had Budweiser beer cans.

I walked up to one of the guys and asked him what he was drinking. To keep my innocence intact, he replied, “it’s water”.

I’ve never forgotten that moment and so every time I see one of those cans with that classic Budweiser design, my mind immediately first thinks there’s water in there.

 

This is law that goes into effect January 1, 2027.

Colorado has a similar bill that has yet to become a law https://www.pcmag.com/news/colorado-lawmakers-push-for-age-verification-at-the-operating-system-level

 

What started off as an egg sandwich turned into a veggie sandwich with a fried egg in.

I bought a ton of veggies last night for a weekly salad and figured I’d add this and that and this is what I ended up with.

Picture of the interior

Ingredients: potato bread, mayo, sweet and spicy pickle slices, 2 eggs fried, lettuce, Roma tomato slices, red onion slice, alfalfa sprouts, and avocado slices.

And now that I write this, I realize I forgot my damn pickled beet slices!! Would’ve added some extra flavor. But they’re in my weekly salad along with olives.

Very tasty sandwich and good way to start my day!

 

I have at least two devices I can’t use/update since ditching Windows and moving to Linux and macOS.

I have a water cooler on my Bazzite gaming PC that has an LCD. It was pretty cool because it displayed content on this screen like temps and cool graphics. I got the program running just fine using Proton and Wine, but it won’t properly discover the device in their proprietary software. The LCD screen is connected to one of my motherboard’s USB ports (not an actual USB port, but the one you plug front IOs into).

Same is true for a keyboard I have. It has a cool LCD for displaying gifs and this comes by software the keyboard uses. It can also update the firmware of the keyboard, when updates are available. I got the software running just fine on both Linux and macOS using Proton and Wine, but, same issue as before, the software once installed doesn’t find the USB keyboard.

Neither of these have software/drivers made or available for Linux or macOS.

I’ve played around with winecfg and device configurations in here and not found a way to get the devices to show up there.

Is there any way to get USB devices to work with software like this?

 

As I understand it for the public web we all use, public DNS servers serve to guide browsers to IP addresses associated with domain names. But of course IPs change for anonymity’s sake on the dark web yet “domain names” stay the same.

How does my Tor browser know the correct route to get to the site that I am trying to visit each time and know that it is always accurate and won’t take me to a different site (assuming that the owner hasn’t changed on that site)? How does this work to keep site owners anonymous without exposing their information to anyone?

 

Freaking balling my eyes out over here after watching it. It was pretty good, but felt kind of short?

Anyone else seen it yet? Thoughts?

 

I finally got my Linux server set up and got Plex moved over to run in a docker container and it’s fan-fucking-tastic.

My next question is about radarr and sonarr. I worry about getting notices, throttled by my ISP, etc. I have a VPN that I use to manually download content, but would prefer the automated method instead which I understand radarr and sonarr are for.

Would I need VPN to use these for this concern? If I do run a VPN, would I encounter issues with my external Plex access? I do often use it out of the house and have others who connect to my server to stream too. If so, is there a way to configure it to work with the VPN? And if I do, do I need to run it under that all the time? I don’t always get the VPN since there are some months where nothing is worth downloading for me, so why pay for it until I need it?

 

Still new and not very well versed when it comes to Wayland and x11.

But I’ve had CachyOS with KDE Plasma installed on my gaming PC for almost 2 months now and not had many issues until last week.

Before I begin, here’s my specs: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, 64GB DDR4 across 4 cards, RTX 4080 Super.

So last week, I booted up my computer and logged into CachyOS. About 10 minutes in, and suddenly the computer is restarting itself. Weird but okay, so I log in again and don’t have the same issue again. When I’m done, I always shut down so I shut down and then next day I boot up again. It was a few days later that this next occurrence happened and it happened in the same way. Another few days go by and then it happens again. Until Tuesday of this week and it got a lot worse. I boot up and log in but I am in for about 7 minutes and then it logs me out. But when I enter my password and hit enter, it freezes up and then my computer restarts after about 3 minutes.

This keeps happening and getting worse and the time is getting shorter that I can be logged in until today where I log in after a restart and am almost immediately kicked back to the login screen and then it freezes and restarts. I barely was able to run commands to get logs. I then began using TTY to do the fixes and copy logs out to read on my laptop.

In hindsight, I did have a few blips of blackness on login happening shortly before this happened where I’d log in and the screen would be black for many minutes until finally loading me up. This was before the freezing and log outs.

Today, I dug deep into the journalctl logs with an LLM and the LLM suggested that the logs were encountering an issue relating to Wayland. The LLM also saw an error involving an AMD graphics card, but that can’t be because I only use the Nvidia RTX 4080 Super so my guess is the error is not relevant to me and was just a generalized error. But it still suggested we try switching over to X11 and after following its steps, I am now in X11 and not having any of these issues anymore.

I’m not seeing any real differences or anything that makes me want to go back to Wayland, but again, I’m still not very knowledgeable on this.

I think what the most likely explanation is that I have been learning how to use pacman and around this time had learned about “sudo pacman -Syu” to update packages, so the most likely reason for this is that something got updated and began going haywire. I’ve been running this more often to ensure my machine is receiving updates. Prior to this, I hadn’t updated anything on the system and was using whatever came from the image I downloaded.

So I have a few questions I was hoping the community could help me with:

  1. Has anyone ever heard of anything like this happening before and know what could cause this? The way it kept getting worse almost felt like hardware degradation, like how physical objects naturally degrade and get worse over time if you don’t fix them. Not the normal issue where you encounter the same issue in the same timespan nearly each time which is what I’m expecting from software, not where it gets progressively worse as each day goes. The LLM had suggested hardware as a possible issue and I was leaning towards that possibility but not having issues on X11 makes me think that’s not the case here.

  2. My main use on this system is gaming. Are there any differences between Wayland and X11 that would make me want to go back to Wayland? Are there any other reasons I may want to go back and figure out what caused this problem and fix it permanently? Or any reasons I may end up preferring X11?

  3. Is it possible X11 will encounter the same issues eventually that Wayland did based on the behaviors described?

 

I’m nearly complete with this game but keep getting random crashes. I’ve tried switching Proton versions about 5 times now and it’s the same thing.

Is there somewhere I can go to check out logs to tell me what might be causing these crashes?

Running on CachyOS in Steam.

Update: so for whatever reason, it’s not happening after adding a command argument to the game to begin logging.

This was happening when I was trying to clear out the Redwood RV Park Ambush Camp. Sometimes it happened just sneaking around after a few minutes, and sometimes as long as me clearing out the camp and then would crash.

I just tried today so I could capture logs and was able to clear the camp and have been outside of the camp for a few minutes now without any crashes.

Up to this point, the game has been working with next to no issues. A crash here and there, but nothing like this one. Maybe something in this camp is causing an issue on Linux or with Proton? One difference in this playthrough was that I went an alternate route. Instead of going around the side by the dam, I went through the front and also went guns blazing instead of stealthing it.
