  Sometimes RTFM is valid advice. Still condescending, but also valid.

  What if a dolphin is into really vanilla human porn though?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is *arr stack a real Netflix replacement?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I interpreted their question differently. It sounds like they’re taking about Radarr having to download a movie before they can watch it, whereas streaming services have a “complete” (compared to a new *arr setup) library available to stream instantly.

  Some bittorrent clients can start playing a video before it’s done downloading, and prioritize the torrent chunks in the right order so there aren’t any interruptions as long as there are seeders and you have enough bandwidth. But I don’t think plex or jellyfin can do it, and I don’t know of any alternatives.

  Until a few years later when all the used TVs have cell modems. The same thing is already happening in the used car market, it’s getting harder and harder to find a reliable vehicle that doesn’t have a cell modem and a long T&C that let’s them spy on you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"US Person": is a red flag for financial institutions in Europe⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like fraud. As long as no one finds out you’d probably get away with it, but you would be committing tax evasion according to US laws.

  If you really don’t want to go back you can get rid of your US citizenship and avoid the problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hisense TVs force owners to watch intrusive ads when switching inputs, visiting the home screen, or even changing channels — practice infuriates consumers, brand denies wrongdoing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Cell modems are getting cheaper and cheaper, it’s only a matter of time before cheap smart TVs will flood the market with always-on telemetry and intrusive personalized ads.

  It’s fine until it’s not… The problem is you can’t really predict when it will fail.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DVDs are the new vinyl records: Why Gen Z is embracing physical media⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just make sure you back them up. Bit rot is real.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft’s $440 billion wipeout, and investors angry about OpenAI’s debt, explained⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Even things like HDDs that don’t become “obsolete” in 18-24 months get sold with plenty of life left (unplanned downtime is more expensive than new hardware), but obsolescence makes it happen even sooner.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft’s $440 billion wipeout, and investors angry about OpenAI’s debt, explained⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Regardless of who owns it or what they do with it, those GPUs will get sold on the used market with plenty of life left. Older AI GPUs, networking equipment (eg 100GbE), SAS drives, etc have been easy to find on eBay and other sites for a long time, because data centers replace hardware long before it’s expected to fail.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It doesn’t really make a difference which wheels are driven seeing as the truck was braking, not accelerating. And having all of the weight in the front makes sense if the bed is actually used for hauling stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yale Posting It's Ls⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Only suspect?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yale Posting It's Ls⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And they’re getting away with it because they understand how the legal system works.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yale Posting It's Ls⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems like those schools were successful in teaching them how our legal system works and how to use it to advance their own goals. Seems like the only thing they didn’t learn is ethics, but their understanding of our legal system is pretty solid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨genius⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  People think private pilots are rich because airplanes are expensive. They’re not - they might be upper-middle class (with a mortgage and other debt) but most have to budget their aviation spending. Truly wealthy people don’t fly their own planes, they hire pilots and crew, and probably have no idea what a Jesus nut looks like.

  That said, this is obviously satire/bait.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🖥 Best Used SAS Drives? (4TB) 🖥⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  12gbps could be useful if you use port expanders to put dozens of drives on the same port, but without a port expander you’re right you wouldn’t saturate the 6gbps channel.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Diabolical⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If they have video of you leaving the note, then they also have video of the truck being parked, sitting there without being hit, and the owner returning without any real incident.

  And from experience, the cops would tell the owner of the truck to contact their insurance, and if pushed, the most they’d do is file a report. There wouldn’t be any investigation, especially without evidence of damage.

  You seem like you have a lot of pent up anger and frustration. I hope you find peace someday.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FACTS⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m saying the Lemmy post (“FACTS”) is satire, not the Twitter post.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FACTS⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Your post is satire

  Seems like everyone here understands that this post is satire, including the OP. They wouldn’t have posted it to the shitpost community if they thought otherwise.

  you stupid fuck.

  When you point one finger, three are pointing back at you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any way the average American can insulate themselves from the AI bubble bursting?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  While true, those companies all have solid revenue streams that aren’t directly related to AI. If a bubble pops they’ll all suffer, but all of them were profitable before the AI boom and can survive without it. It’s very different from the dot bubble because that was driven by speculation and many companies weren’t making any profit back then.

  I’m not able to watch a video right now… But is the answer “the bernoulli principle?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does the filament path of ruby nozzles degrade + is DUROZZLE any good?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ruby is brittle, and if your hotend crashes into the bed due to bad settings, broken ABL, etc it might break. That’s just based on what I read when I was considering buying one, I don’t have any first hand experience.

  Nice

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨be gay, do crimes (in space)⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Even without monitoring, it probably has a unique IP/subnet that shows the traffic came from the ISS. And the financial institution is definitely recording IPs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨18% of people running Nextcloud don't know what database they are using⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Besides RAM, what resources do for think you’re saving? Not CPU cycles or IO ops, because you’re processing the same amount of DB queries either way. Not power consumption, since that isn’t affected by RAM utilization. Maybe disc space? But that’s even cheaper than RAM.

  Or more importantly: the extent to which you can self-host out of sheer luck and ignorance like you suggest is very limited. If you don’t want to engage with a minimum amount of configuration, you might bump into security issues (a much broader and complex subject) long before any of the above has a material impact.

  You’re mischaracterizing what I said. My point is that running multiple DB processes on a server isn’t going to have a significant impact on system load, if all other factor are kept constant.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨18% of people running Nextcloud don't know what database they are using⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You seem to be obsessed with optimising one resource at the expense of others. Time is a limited resource, and even if it only takes 5 minutes to configure all of your containers to share a single db backend (it will take longer than that even if you just have 2), you’re only going to save a few MB of RAM. And since RAM costs roughly $2.5/GB (0.25 cents/MB) your time would have to be worth very little for this to be worthwhile.

  On the other hand, if you’re doing it to learn more about computers then it might be worthwhile. This is a community of hobbiests, after all…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #3138: Dimensional Lumber Tape Measure⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No, this comic is about nominal vs actual lumber size. Both tapes are imperial.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨18% of people running Nextcloud don't know what database they are using⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Neither, I’m trying to explain that you don’t need to know the implementation details of the software running on your server to backup the entire thing.
