  You can still get that branding today! Old GM cars have never been cheaper on fb marketplace.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bezos plan for solar powered datacenters is out of this world… literally⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure, but engineering materials still start to break down at such high continuous service temps. And mechanical heat pumps become very impractical above 250C as things like compressors and phase change refrigerants also break down under extreme temperatures.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can I optimize my jellyfin, specifically transcoding and the CPU usage involved? I'm running it off a mini pc so resources are everything⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  A. Run a batch transcode and make all your stored files compatible with your end players.
  It sounds like the more recent things you are downloading are in a codec that is not compatible with your playback devices. E.g, older torrents are frequently an H.264 stream in an MP4 container. Many modern releases are being distributed in H.265 or AV1, as they have significant size and quality benefits, but many older devices don’t support them natively.

  B. Sounds like you are still relying on CPU transcoding which is absolute dog. What mini pc specs do you have? If it’s an AMD or Intel CPU/APU then it should have hardware encode/decode included in it’s integrated GPU. See the Jellyfin docs on hardware acceleration here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Filament won't adhere?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I have had bad, wet sections of PLA refuse to adhere to beds or its own layers. There’s a lot of ways a filament manufacturer could fuck up the blend or moisture control, especially with cheaper shit.

  Cut a section out and hold a lighter or heat gun under the end until it softens and curls up.
  Good filament should look smooth and the same color. Bad filament will get bubbly, wart-looking texture and take on a yellow sheen. The bubbles are moisture leaving the plastic and the yellow sheen is the plastic breaking down, it will have no adhesion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Need assistance solving unexpected and random I/O errors in homelab⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  My default goto with any stability issue is to first force a drive self test

  smartctl -l selftest /dev/nvme0

  And then I would also run a complete extended memory test (memtest86) to ensure bad ram isn’t doing something dumb like corrupting the part of the kernel that handles disk IO.

  And how do you define “chips?”

  For every one advanced semiconductor maybe being made at a US fab you’re going to have 40-50 supporting “chips” for power regulation, signal processing, amplification, etc etc etc… Does a MOSFET count as a “chip”? A 555?

  Also advanced processors being made here like 90% of the time are going to be offshored to be packagd for final use, since all the advanced packaging technologies are stuck in Taiwan et al.

  More numpy’s bullshit from a demented dingus who doesn’t know how to turn a door handle properly anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If my first kiss was pre-transition and i am now a guy but i always had a guy brain, does that make my first kiss with a "straight" guy gay ?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you still outwardly presented as female and the person you kissed considered you female, then no it was not gay.

  Realistically it doesn’t matter and you can kiss whoever the fuck you wanna

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A ‘demoralizing' trend has computer science grads out of work — even minimum wage jobs. Are 6-figure tech careers over?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Its more than that; companies also continuously propagate the message of “shortage of workers” while continuing to raise the requirements for entry level positions more and more. It reaches a point where “entry level” is not attainable for most fresh grads to get experience, and keeps their starting wages (and continuing wages) very well depressed due to the high supply.

  Its a very targeted campaign to make sure educated workers don’t get too many ideas of independence in their heads.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favorite open source 3D printers?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If it counts, One of my friends in college had a bedslinger mish mash of like 4 different printers cobbled together to make a sort of bastard child prusa i3 equivalent. It actually made decent quality prints although it was pretty slow. That’s about as open source as you can get.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Turning gaming setups off and on⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They will wear faster being on (accumulating capacitor and electron gun power-on hours) than they do turning on and off. They are not like a hard drive where there are mechanical components that wear faster during start and warmup, they are primarily solid state electronics that care only about power on hours.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Turning gaming setups off and on⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes always turn off CRT’s when idle. They (typically) have no sleep mode like a LCD does, when they are on the tube is firing and all the capacitors are charged regardless of display input.

  Yeah tbh. And it aligns better with the concept of sexuality/gender being more of a spectrum than rigidly designated buckets.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are the most useful things you've printed?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I 3d printed a hair comb that’s been my daily use comb for like 8 months now.

  I’ve also 3d printed a gauge pod for my car to hold a trans temp gauge. And since I drive every day that probably tops the list of useful prints.

  Damn. That’d be crazy if anyone was actually hiring anybody with no experience.

  I know multiple group chats of people who graduated fresh from college, not even 20% of them have jobs a year after grad. And this is spread across comp sci, cybersecurity, and mech eng.

  The entry level job is dead. Every company thinks they can replace the menial shit that entry level workers do to learn with AI slop.
