You don’t just have your podcast auto resume whenever you start driving?
- Comment on Freed At Last From Patents, Does Anyone Still Care About MP3? 1 month ago:
Ogg at lower bitrates sounded better than mp3 at the same rate. Consumers dont care, but for a lot of game developers the zero patent risk and higher quality shipping with smaller files made Ogg a great choice at the time.
For me? FLACs are the only way… which reminds me, I wonder I can still convert all the SHN (shorten) lossless files I still have. I should get on that before a converter doesn’t exist.
- Comment on Tesla pulls out all the stops as Cybertruck sales grind to a halt 2 months ago:
Tesla made 2.8 billion last year from selling regulatory credits. So they really didn’t have to care how many cars they sold. But those surely are going away, so they are going to have to do some other government handout, which Elon is probably hand picking right now.
- Comment on I'll show them 2 months ago:
I am partial to freetube on the desktop. I can make a list of channels without actually subscribing or having a YouTube account.
- Comment on I'll show them 2 months ago:
Why don’t you just use a youtube player that filters the ads out? Seems like extra steps.
- Comment on Lemm.ee is recruiting new admins! 2 months ago:
I hope this doesn’t clog up the feed in your search for admins but I have to say: You are doing something right. I see people say Lemmy is slow, or there are large amounts of downtime. That has not happened on this instance. I have been very happy here.
I really hope you find the admins you are looking for.

Wait! You will get in trouble for that. Instead you need to have an LLC that does that for Profit somehow. Then all is forgiven!
- Comment on FBI recommends coming up with a 'secret word or phrase' to make sure your family know you're you and not some hellish AI copycat 3 months ago:
Websites have been full of shit bots or not since forever. Nothing new here.

Wait, that almost makes him sound reasonable, please let him continue:
“I don’t have anything against fast food. I’m against food that has seed oils.”
Ok there is the crazy.
- Comment on Half-Life 2 is currently 100% for its 20th anniversary 4 months ago:
I disagree. Black Mesa is Black Mesa. It is no Half Life 1. The atmosphere in one is completely lost with Black Mesa. Start with Half Life and play to Alyx. Go back to Mesa for a second way to view 1.
- Comment on Looking to move on from Unraid, need suggestions. 5 months ago:
I have been using openmediavault for years and years. Basically debian with some configuration already done for a web gui, quick access to shares and user controls, and a simple but ready docker setup for your containers. Extremely light weight.
I have unraid on a test server, but I just can’t see the point of using it over omv. Raid is not important to me, you have to make backup either way. Containers are containers, and a vm is not something I need
