Step 1: new constitutional convention in order to replace the federal government, which has been in lawmaking deadlock for about 16 years.

For real. What are they gonna do if their kid specifically calls them directly? Go all Rambo on the shooter?

Startpage FTW

Personally, I want cars that automate driving to use more than one type of sensor so that they react more realistically in more circumstances. Tesla going camera-only was a mistake and Elon just keeps doubling down on it.

I’ve been using the same 10+ year old 128G SSD for transcoding, cache, and metadata storage for like 6 years now across multiple tiny servers (as I’ve upgraded) with limited RAM. My current one has 16G of RAM, which is more than enough for JF, but not enough to store a whole movie transcode, let alone multiple at once. Refycled small old SSDs are a lot cheaper and easier to come by than RAM these days, that’s all I’m saying. No hate of course, your setup makes sense for what you have, I’m just saying my way is cheaper and more than fast enough for people just building their servers now.

tmpfs is overkill. I just use a crappy old 128G SSD and it’s still way faster than needed for all of my transcodes combined.

Anyway just my 2 cents.

I’m still on there, primarily because a band I’m in uses it for events invites and uses Messenger for coordination group texts

Zorin and Mint are pretty similar, I wouldn’t stress about it as long as you’re happy with what you have

… You can use the Ubuntu installer. Mint is just Ubuntu with a more Windows-like desktop and some other tweaks that debatably make it more user friendly

This is why I use international index funds primarily. Small cap is also a solid hedge

Open source models exist that can run on small devices for free. There are also some that need a chonky PC to run and have decent output quality. LLMs as a tool aren’t going to go away, but the AI industry is going to go through a massive contraction.

I too hoard a great deal of data and pray for the day ServerPartDeals has actual good deals again

For real. At best, we’re all going to become impromptu homesteaders/farmers. At worst, we starve before we can

It’s probably database performance related. There’s a massive PR undergoing round after round of reviews that, when merged, will be a change to 10.12 and will resolve all of the new database performance issues experienced in certain edge cases (book libraries, large music libraries, large collections, etc)

On the Nvidia Shield the MPV backend doesn’t really work, it has an issue with stuttering. Works great on my other TV, though.

I’ve been using it for a couple months. It’s been great, for the most part

…but they were talking about it in response to a comment about frame-gen

I’m just calling out the drift in the meaning of the comment chain. The entropic drift, if you will.

Antialiasing and upscaling are fundamentally different tech than frame generation
