Only difference between that and a burger is a burger is usually on a roll, not slices of bread. (And a burger is always hot, but then so are some sandwiches.)

That was an objectively good game. Small and short, but good.
Hunters, on the other hand, not great.

Or maybe they did because they had this in the works.
- Comment on Audiologists raise concern over headphone use in young people 2 days ago:
Yeah that could be, if the headphones make you sound quieter to yourself.
Personally I have the opposite problem, when I wear earplugs out at a loud venue, I can hear myself better and end up talking too quietly.

- Comment on You can see who upvoted and downvoted a post by viewing it in friendica. 3 days ago:
Yes, that’s happened before. They were sending a very large number of votes, so it was immediately obvious. Even a couple dozen from an unknown instance will be noticed, when an admin sees it and says “huh I haven’t heard of that instance” and when they look there’s nothing there.
- Comment on Advice / sanity check for torrenting & media server 3 days ago:
You can add radarr, etc. to your existing stack without changing much. You mount your movies directory to /mnt/movies in the radarr container, shows to /mnt/tv in sonarr, and so on. And the qbittorrent downloads folder to /mnt/downloads. Then, when you add a new movie to radarr, it’ll add it to qbittorrent and get downloaded to the downloads folder, and when it’s done, radarr will move it from there to the movies folder. Then jellyfin sees the new file and adds it.
If you want to do everything the “radarr way”, you’ll also want to import the existing library to radarr so that it can identify the movie quality. There are buttons in radarr, etc. to rename and move files the way radarr wants them. Since nothing else cares about this, I let radarr handle the naming. During first setup there was a lot of re-downloading of media it couldn’t identify the quality of, but I didn’t care about that so I let it happen. But all of this is optional, you can disable quality upgrades and leave your existing library alone.

If you’re really going to need that much RAM, start looking at servers with multiple sockets. They support absurd amounts of RAM in a single chassis. I think the biggest regularly-available servers have four sockets, but all but the most basic have two.

The new one is significant more powerful, and almost certainly has better efficiency.
I would just verify that your OS properly supports P/E cores.

That’s easy enough to test. Try sending mail from the Internet to an address outside your domain, both from a real sender and a sender spoofing your own domain.

Yes, it sets the official name of each place. That’s what everyone here is talking about.
- Comment on Mexican President Threatens to Sue Google Over 'Gulf of America' Label on Maps. 1 week ago:
Apply only the part of the name change that’s actually covered by US jurisdiction.
Strictly speaking, per the EO, this is what they should have done. The EO defines the area to be renamed as:
the U.S. Continental Shelf area bounded on the northeast, north, and northwest by the States of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida and extending to the seaward boundary with Mexico and Cuba in the area formerly named as the Gulf of Mexico
You can see exactly where that seaward boundary is on this map: …wikimedia.org/…/File:US_ECS_Regions_2023.png
The area described is less than half the whole Gulf of Mexico.
- Comment on Mexican President Threatens to Sue Google Over 'Gulf of America' Label on Maps. 1 week ago:
Yes, and Congress delegated that authority in 1947 via Public Law 242, creating the US Board on Geographic Names, under the Secretary of the Interior, part of the executive branch. The President has the authority to direct the Secretary.
You can speak as confidently as you like, but you’re still wrong. Feel free to learn: www.usgs.gov/us-board-on-geographic-names

Yes, Word (and only Word) can edit collaboratively on the desktop if the document is in SharePoint (and OneDrive, because OneDrive is SharePoint).
- Comment on First Trump DOJ Assembled “Tiger Team” To Rewrite Key Law Protecting Online Speech. 1 week ago:
It should absolutely not be repealed. As you noted, it protects platforms from the speech of their users. Lemmy, too, benefits from this (at least for the instances in the US).
I’ve never heard of platforms abusing these protections to control what is shown. Can you explain?

- Comment on Syria just hosted its first international tech conference in 50 years. 1 week ago:
So a complete version of your original comment would be, per these examples, “I am curious about who sponsored it”? Because my original reply was a response to the implied question: it says who sponsored it in the article, so you can read it and find out.
