just_another_person,

Yeah, this guy looking super confused on the thumbnail really makes me want to take his word for it.

just_another_person,

How is this a bad position? US folk with their need to consume? Shut it down.

just_another_person,

Why?

just_another_person, (edited )

Well pretty much every DVD maxes at 480p for storage constraint purposes, so that might be your first issue. Ripping and encoding at a higher resolution than the source nets you nothing but wasted space.

That being said, HEVC is going to be the smallest file size for your rips, with reasonable encoding times and compatibility mostly not an issue.

AV1 is new-ish, so depending on your hardware, could take anywhere from 5x-10x longer, and only net you an average of 15% difference in size reduction, and then you have compatibility to worry about.

just_another_person,

Who is he heiling today, would you guess?

    Not sure there is a simplified walkthrough anyone can give you if you don’t already understand the instructions out there. You need to run a Matrix server on some machine, setup empty channels for each service you want to bridge, then run a bridge service to get data from each service, and point it at those channels.

    That’s about as layman as it gets.

    just_another_person,

    Taking bets on the next hill these fools try and die on.

    My guess is it’ll have something to do with trucks having a minimum height requirement of 3ft from cab to ground or it’s not 'Murica.

    MacOS is a BSD distro, which shares most of the same cli commands with Linux (though certain overall functionality may differ by command).

    I’d say stick to GNOME for desktop to start as it flows much more similarly to MacOS. I’d say Fedora 40 to avoid the current issues with Ubuntu 24 and derivatives. Should give you solid footing to figure out what you don’t like and adapt accordingly. Maybe even try out a handful of distros via LiveCD before committing, up to you.

    I’ve only heard of this Charlie Kirk. First time seeing and hearing him. Who in the fuck raised this guy?

    just_another_person,

    Can they also just reject her?

    I just finished setting up Linux Mint for an old buddy of mine on his old dog of a laptop, rendering it useful once again! (i.imgur.com)

    Edit 2: to everyone suggesting an SDD: i know. Look, if this guy had enough $$$ for an SSD, he could buy a used lappy less than half the age of this one that has an ssd and 2-3x the memory....

    just_another_person,

    You’d have a bigger impact by putting a modern SSD in there, even if SATA.

    Really not trying to be pedantic about this awful shit, but if you:

    A) Support a GENOCIDE

    B) Support a system perpetually arming the genocide

    C) Think this is an “Us V Them” situation

    D) Think this world is a place where retribution to ashes is a good policy

    You’re a fucked up person. The people being killed here aren’t even the ones responsible for the triggering event.

    You don’t need to be on one side or another to recognize some really awful inhumane shit.

    I couldn’t give two shits about whomever this is making a stupid song about it.

    TSST

    just_another_person,

    No, this makes it much worse. The flippancy of it all is just so vile, I get angry reading about it.

    just_another_person,

    They’ll keep the talent they want, and fire everyone else. “Talent Acquisition”.

    just_another_person,

    I’m sure he’ll squeeze that in.

    just_another_person,

    These states do not think ahead. They are run by a bunch of self-centered assholes with super-determined and myopic focus on solely what they want, because they think it’s what everyone should get. They also gladly skirt all these laws with their money and connections because they think it shouldn’t apply to them.

    The zenith of “do as I say, not as I do”.

    Macklemore Attacks Joe Biden On Pro-Palestine Song "Hind's Hall" (www.hotnewhiphop.com)

    He hasn’t released on streaming yet or YouTube only insta and Twitter. Once it’s up on streaming he said all proceeds will go to The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA)....

    just_another_person,

    Who?

    just_another_person,

    This seems like a promo post…

    just_another_person,

    Just install the Desktop version of Ubuntu. There is no difference if you want a GUI anyway. You can set the run level to not boot into GNOME after you get all your stuff setup.

    HDMI stream live processing?

    I’m getting tired of the extremely loud ads on that don’t seem to be subject to the old TV broadcasting laws that prevent them from being blasted 10db louder than the actual content. Wondering if there’s stuff out there that would let me take the hdmi stream from my Apple TV or other streaming source, and do ad detection...

    just_another_person, (edited )

    So you came here with zero technical expertise or knowledge about the situation, and asking for specific steps on how to do this in order to make a product? 😂🤣🤦 Hope there was some profit sharing involved somewhere.

    How would ML detect ads? Do you know the difference between ML and CV? You may want to start there.

    Get a Pihole or AdGuard endpoint and hope for the best if all you want is to remove ads.

    just_another_person,

    I wouldn’t help people sniffing around and looking to profit from free help. 👍

    just_another_person,

    Check your NAS and make sure what the minimum required SMB protocol is, then check your local SMB config and make sure they match.

    The Best Secure Email Providers in 2024 (blog.thenewoil.org)

    Like it or not, email is a critical part of our digital lives. It’s how we sign up for accounts, get notifications, and communicate with a wide range of entities online. Critics of email rightfully point out that email suffers from a significant number of flaws that make it less than ideal, but that doesn’t change the...

    just_another_person,

    TLDR: Proton and Tuta

    just_another_person,

    Didn’t Proton release some kind of adapter to solve this issue and allow for IMAP?

    just_another_person,

    That sucks, but good to know.

    just_another_person,

    This is almost always a compositor issue, and unless something is terribly wrong, only affects certain applications that don’t properly use the composite rendering method. First, find out which compositor you’re in (probably Wayland if a modern distro), then find out which apps seem blurry. Last step: force those apps to use your specific compositor (start searching for runtime options for the app).

    Should fix it.

    just_another_person, (edited )

    Did you turn off any fancy UI tweaks like scaling (especially fractional)? Have you confirmed if your session has a compositor running?

    Also, try something like this

    Depending on your overall OS and sessions setup, your distro install may not be tweaked properly for Xfce, which still doesn’t have Wayland support last I checked. So unless you made sure to clear out all the other global configs that could impact the GUI session, you’ll probably have some issues unless you switch to an Xfce catered distro.

    just_another_person,

    This is…a travesty

    just_another_person,

    It’s just sourcing data from Street View or similar. Not that scary. If it picked you out of a crowd in a randomly sourced image from that area, then it’d be scary.

    I'm thinking of buying a Lenovo Duet 3 for running linux. Which device would have better compatibility?

    There’s two models - the Duet 3 which comes with a Snapdragon 7c Gen 2 @ 2.55 GHz CPU, and the 3i which comes with a Intel Celeron N4020. I would rather use the Duet 3, due to the cover, and since I am already familiar with the feel of the device due to having owned a Surface Pro 4, but I’d like to choose whichever works...

    just_another_person,

    Lol, this is not even remotely accurate. I run fleets of arm64 machines all over the place. Pretty much every distro out there builds arm64/aarch64 packages. Wherever you read this from needs to be shut down.

    just_another_person,

    The biggest crapshoot with the Snapdragons is the graphics support. I’d stick with the Celeron unless you can find comments somewhere with the exact model and no compatibility issues with the graphics.

    just_another_person,

    Because I know what I’m talking about, you trust me less? Sounds like a bad life decision. All you have to do is spend 5 seconds learning to confirm I’m correct. Don’t just blindly trust comments on the Internet based on your feelings:

    en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linuxfedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARMubuntu.com/download/server/arm

    Hell…surely you’re aware all Raspberry Pi’s are arm64/aarch64, right? The original commentor just has zero idea WTF they are talking about with the Android nonsense.

    just_another_person,

    Somebody call the Wahhhmbulance. This guy is outmoded. How about expanded security permissions for small groups of people in a larger directory? How about PAM auth plugins? How about escalation preventiontion for those same people, PLUS auditing instead of just seeing “root did something dumb”.

    I don’t even get why this gent even bothered to wine and complain about this except that he doesn’t “get it”. This has been a solved issue for over 20 years now, and you don’t see large swathes of folks bitching and moaning about sudo at all.

    just_another_person,

    I await your much improved solution then. It sounds so simple, I bet you knock it out over the weekend, right?

    just_another_person,

    No shit. Wonder if his idiotic fan boyz take issue with this at all.

    just_another_person,

    I’m thinking most of the fraud happening is on the open market with DJT Media now.

    just_another_person, (edited )

    This is some dumb right-wing hit piece blog dressed up like something else. This isn’t a meltdown, it’s obvious frustration. He’s pretty angry at apathetic voters, and he has every right to be considering what is at stake. Being apathetic about voting because your top issue isn’t being catered to is sort of irrelevant when the entire functioning of our government will go away if Trump is allowed back in power.

    just_another_person,

    What he’s saying: start getting the media talking about the actions you’re taking on said things, and other Democrats as well.

    just_another_person,

    How and why? I thought that front of a shell of a company was sliding into oblivion, but now it’s recovered somehow? Fucking shady as fuck.

    just_another_person,

    It’s very easy to launder money like this in the market. Bunch of Russian shells start buying up stock as a shadow payment to Trump -> Board gives him 1.8b while the entity keeps the rest.

    just_another_person,

    Yes. For…some…reason.

    just_another_person,

    Every state getting steamrolled by pro-life interests and GOP whack jobs should do the same.

    just_another_person,

    I wouldn’t fuck her with Bea Arthur’s dick.

    just_another_person,

    Wow. Quite a piece of shit person.

    just_another_person,

    VM or Container is easiest, depending on what you want to do.

    just_another_person,

    I’m from a time where there was ONLY compiling from scratch. No package managers either. Can’t say I recommend it.
