  You can scrub shorts on mobile (might have to pause it first), but not desktop for some reason…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good server OS for Jellyfin⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Proxmox. I’ve been using it and deployed jellyfin in a container, they have a bunch of one-click deployments and it’s great. Or you can just use a VM to group Docker containers together. Having a beautiful web interface is huge, Plus being able to access that interface from anywhere via WireGuard/Tailscale is great.

  If you do choose to go down this route, there is a “no-nag proxmox” script somewhere, and it will disable some warnings and give you deeper customization options. Well worth a look!

  I’m out of the loop, what is the advantage to coreboot?

  Wrong community?

  Yes! It runs on an old gaming PC for me, without flaws

  As do I, it is odd that he just guided them in though. At least, from the very grainy security footage he showed me a year ago

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Targeted ads be Wilding⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I have it, unfortunately it does not seem to block Snapchat ads. Or maybe it does and I just haven’t noticed? A lot of the time I’m using Snapchat out of the house, I haven’t bothered to set up an exit note for tail scale yet (Even worse, tell scale is still broken for me on Android)

  BattleBots for the win, fantastic action!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don't laptops have proper low power states where useful stuff like downloads can run during sleep/with the lid closed?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Isn’t this the idea of having a chipset (Northbridge/Southbridge) on the board, to handle some of these IO tasks?

  Also, I recently saw the Cathode Ray Dude video on Dell’s Brain Slug, where down basically hijacked the system with a low-power ARM SBC. I almost wonder if something like this would be possible, it would obviously require a revision but it would theoretically allow for suspended downloads, invite notifications, etc. It would also be fairly expensive and complex though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Targeted ads be Wilding⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This is me with those stupid “Dude relaaaaaaaxxxx” ads for Hello Fresh. I watch them, oddly mesmerized by how bad they are. Also some of the things they show are literally 3 ingredients (potatoes, cheese, pepper for smashed potatoes).

  To their credit, they’ve stopped claiming they’re cheaper than groceries

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does it matter if I skip sponsored ad segments in YouTube videos?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Theoretically no, they want people to ignore those built-in sponsorships, so the advertisers go straight to Google’s ad service

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are batteries in phones always measured in mAh instead of Wh like for example notebooks?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Church is meaningless if it’s not provided at a useful voltage though. What people truly care about is usable energy, which is what Watt-hours or Joules tell us. For example, I don’t care if my portable battery pack is 1000 milliamp hours, it’s meaningless unless I also know The battery chemistry used (nominal voltage) and the number of cells so I can figure out the actual potential energy.

  Also, as a phone’s battery ages, if I’m not mistaken it truly does hold less “charge”, but I still believe the more useful metric is actual energy stored. That’s how it’s done in the EV scene, you use kWh to see how much energy is left in your battery. As the battery ages, “100%” represents slightly lesser energy (kWh)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are batteries in phones always measured in mAh instead of Wh like for example notebooks?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t find that to be a particularly compelling argument though. If you go to buy a lead acid battery for solar usage, for example, they give you the capacity based on a 20-hour discharge (or, 1/20th C rate). The same could absolutely be done for primary batteries

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are batteries in phones always measured in mAh instead of Wh like for example notebooks?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  They both tell the same story, but one requires extra information you don’t have. You don’t say that the latest i3 pulls 6 Amps, you say it pulls 65 Watts. Also the voltage does change as the battery discharges, that’s why you use the nominal voltage of the pack. mAh is also not a current

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are smart door locks more or less secure than traditional door locks?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  SwitchBot makes a retrofit deadbolt controller that straps onto the inside

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Young Adults, How Frequent Do You See Your Friends?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Same here, I’m in my early/mid 20s and still see almost all of my high school friends multiple times per month. Plus we play games on Discord at least once or twice a week. I moved about a half hour out from town a few years back, which is probably the only reason we don’t see you each other even more often

  Anything scanning messages or media on my device is an absolute NO if I don’t control it.
