Been on Linux since 2015 as my daily driver, and since 2023 for my gaming PC. Pretty much zero issues, and in some cases, much better performance and compatibility than Windows.

9·4 days agoNot with that attitude they don’t.
Hey thanks for grabbing and posting all the pics, I didn’t even think to do that. No need to go to the site folks, it’s all here. 😂
Edit - oh wait, there’s actually more on the site page, including a guy with two right hands!
4·4 days agoRemember Me was interesting as a concept, but the gameplay was very “we have Arkham Asylum at home.”
Beans. Mountains and mountains of beans.
Real estate? 🤷♂️
Those of us not in the industry refer to that as “lying.”
I get what you’re saying, and I agree it’s technically a good thing. But I have a problem with the fact that as noted, there’s no climate control, and no safety features. This will be on the roads with normal vehicles, doesn’t fit in a bike lane, and despite essentially being an efficient car, there’s no seatbelt. If somebody gets t-boned in one of these, or in any kind of wreck in general with a standard car or truck, they will likely die horribly.
I’ve no qualms with improving efficiency, but it shouldn’t come at the expense of safety for the vehicle operator who is being required to use this for work for likely many hours per day.
1·12 days agoI do this with my Wiims already, no account needed. They support speaker linking and whole home playback, or just linking individual devices.
I used it for a bit, but after getting Navidrome up and running, Arpeggi replaced it as my download “away from home” client, and at home I use Lyrion or Music Assistant via Squeezelite since I have Wiims in every room of the house.
The only thing worth noting is private industry with publicly traded options will always need to show quarter over quarter profit (or best effort to do so) as a literal legal obligation to shareholders. They have a legal obligation to profit as much as possible within legal limits, and even skirting them where legislation is up for debate. That means in the long run, going private will never be the cheapest option.
The government has no such obligation, and no need to profit. Their only “shareholders” are the American people, and voting essentially makes us the board to remove them if we feel their choices are not to the public benefit.
The Xeon server would be a good bet. Your other machine would be potentially bottleneck for memory (though it meets min spec if the server isn’t doing anything else). There’s a NOAVX docker deployment available, would be slower but should work fine. Just be sure to disable anything associated with lyric detection, it’s an absolute performance nightmare.
I ran it on a Ryzen 5500u mini-PC with 32 GB RAM with the standard deployment with AVX2 support and scaled up to three worker threads. For a collection of 53k tracks it was processing about 100 per hour that way with lyrics/whisper translation enabled, but once I turned that off it was doing 1300-1400 tracks per hour.

Edit - the 6600T would work too. I found with lyrics disabled, each worker only used between 500MB and 2 GB of RAM. Long as the server isn’t under load while scanning I think that would work, and would be faster for having AVX2 support.
I don’t get mad at the younger generations. I kinda feel bad for them. The world sucks, and it’s the only world they’ve ever known.
Pretty much. I’m in my 40s, late millennial. Shit sucked, watching opportunities previous generations had slipping away as I hit adulthood and realized what an absolute mess everything was, and that everything I’d been taught to succeed at life was a lie.
Ended up doing okay for myself thanks to getting into IT and dropping out of college before I racked up more debt but it still took forever to pay off. I managed to get to six figures a few years back, pay off my debts, and I’m able to make things work financially thanks to moving to the boonies and living small, and saving a lot. I also lucked out with good timing and had a home built when the interest rates were still around 3% and paid points to lower it more. My mortgage now is less than I paid in rent in 2021, and rates are up since then.
And now… I mean I’m okay, but seeing everything happening is stressful. No idea how future employment is gonna go with all the AI mess (I’m sure I’ll be fine, but it’s all up on air):, and I don’t think the kids today will even have the opportunities that I had early career when I took jobs that were shitty but at least gave me opportunities to learn and skill up and get various career certs to move up and do better.
I was lamenting the lack of opportunities back then, feeling like I was always one step ahead of inflation, debt, and potential homelessness, and it’s even harder for today’s young adults! I honestly don’t know how someone not already established would even get a foot in the door today, and everything’s gone absolutely crazy.
There it is. Knew there’d be one.
If you seriously think every administration is the same, I don’t know what to say. It’s not easy to communicate when someone is both deaf and blind.
I did, him and Bob Ross. They’re both missed, and I hope their syndication can be a benefit to young people today. (Edit - though from what I’ve seen, the kids are alright. Certainly more compassionate and empathetic today than my cohort or generations before).
Not sure if the shows still air, but some is on YouTube, and I donate to PBS monthly just in case.
I won’t downvote, but whoever told you that was telling stories. Yes, money gets mishandled at times, and we’re currently in a period of absurd corruption, but overall governmental programs are very efficiently run compared to a lot of private sector since there’s zero need for profit.
The government is also essentially the largest negotiating body in the country for bulk rate bids.
If they need money they print it
Which is a leading cause of inflation. It’s very conservative financial behavior. Budgets need to be balanced. Republicans don’t bother and tend to leave the mess for whoever comes after. Democrats aren’t a ton better, but budgets are at least considered, and the only time we’ve ever had a surplus budget in my lifetime was under the democrats.
What was your excuse before this administration?
I’m not.
We live in a society and enjoy or use services that benefit all. Schools, roads, infrastructure, etc. all need to be paid for. I have no problem paying for taxes to do my part, and have never had a desire to avoid that responsibility. I live in a society. It benefits me, and I pay back into it, just as everyone should.
I have a problem with the people who have the most to give not doing so. They’re leeching off society without giving back to it.
Seriously, I barely play any new games, and pretty much no AAA that have come out the last few years. This year I’ve finished:
And currently I’m playing Megacopter: Blades of the Goddess solo, and Divinity: Original Sin 2 with my wife.
I’m having a blast tearing through the backlog this year, and I’ve barely bought any games compared to previous years. My Steam Deck alone has like 150+ games on it I’m looking to play through, and that doesn’t even account for all the retro games I’m looking to play via emulation.
