  • What problems can fake meat solve, and how do we get there?

    Jump

  • I'm a meatietarian. I love a good burger. I do, however, also love planet Earth. My first impossible burger experiment was awful. The restaurant didn't cook the damn thing! Was like, "Well, that was a disappointment!" Several years later, A&W had a deal on their veggie burger, and it was great! (A&W Canada, so don't complain to me if they run it in the States.) Ask me to switch to those burgers in exchange for not dying of heat death or mass fire in the next five to ten? Yeah, sold.

  • Docker container with a web UI to manage virtual machines?

    Jump

  • Ahh, I see. Someone else mentioned portainer, that has a lot of "click to do bleh" functions. Might be what the doctor ordered. You could also put the command in a bash script, like restart.sh and then it'll show up with an ls.

  • I Tailscale in to my home network, and then from one of the machines I'm the network, I can ssh in (or whatever.)

  • Can't wait to be free.

  • If you're using mint and can't find help with a specific problem online, mint is really closely related to Ubuntu. So, hypothetically, "Wifi issues Ubuntu" might give you help where "Wifi issues mint" comes up empty. Also, if you dual boot, turn off fast start-up on the windows side. It messes things up.

  • Why does cats (and similar animals) can live with the exact same food every day, but we (humans) need a variety of food to survive?

    Jump

  • We don't. Burritos exist.

  • Who uses MATE in here?

    Jump

  • Dad joke time: Mostly the Aussies!

  • Do you read books on your phone?

    Jump

  • I use Cantook on my phone and skip the account setup. I convert Kobo books and other ebooks using Calibre to Epub. I like Cantook because there's a setting to use the volume buttons to turn pages.

  • One year progress

    Jump

  • CoMaps works almost, but not quite, as well as Google Maps in my chunk of Canada. Might be worth trying? I believe it is based on the OSM data.

  • Thoughts

    Jump

  • Well, since my wife told me to change the kitty litter... The Shinkansen runs at speeds of up to 320km/h...

  • Mix and match login managers and desktop environments

    Jump

  • Framework 13 here, KDE Fedora user too. It literally never occurred to me that I could use the fingerprint to log in! Commenting so that whoever answers you can make my day too.

  • (Spoilers) In 12 Angry Men (1957), was the behaviour of the jurists strictly legal?

    Jump

  • Unrelated mini-rant. I had an assignment to write a couple of pages about the logical fallacies evident in the movie shown by one of the jurors, but not number eight. Number eight did have a lot of confirmation bias. I asked if I could write that, and my instructor just went "Sure, go ahead. I'll be able to give you a zero in the first paragraph and it'll save me a ton of time making!" This was in a unit called "open-mindedness." Ty, you're an ass-hat. Also, a shit teacher!

  • Self-hosting paradox: Windows for specifically MS word

    Jump

  • I have a Windows 11 VM running in Proxmox. It works fine. I put a desktop with a Windows license in the cluster, passed the hardware ID into the VM, it didn't work, so I hollered at an MS rep for a bit and they activated it for me. I don't use it for much, but it works.

  • What’s a cheap purchase that’s completely changed your life?

    Jump

  • Well, I think you should've splurged for a slightly better keyboard...

  • Society is Limited by Wage Slavery

    Jump

  • That's a surprisingly complicated question! If you post the playback info, that might help. Also, what are you hosting Jellyfin on, what OS, environment, gpu? Do the same videos pay back clean in VLC? Does the computer posting back the media have scaling, or a weird OS? I have my Jellyfin in a Proxmox container and had all kinds of issues when passing a (very old) GPU through, but without it I can't get 4k. I have more than a few movies where I manually re-encoded them before putting them on Jellyfin and kept the source file zipped up for storage.

  • What To Do When You Can't Find a Job?

    Jump

  • My local library has career coaches. They go over results, do mock interviews, but the career coach at my library? He's a straight up headhunter, and he gets the best walk-ins referred to HR at companies that fit. I had a buddy who was four months unemployed, suggested he talk to the career coach, and dude got him a job in less than two weeks. Also, maybe look at non-profits in your area, might have volunteer or low-paid psych jobs that can get a foot in the door.

  • Before social media/internet/cell phones/landlines/payphones; how would 2 friends living across the same city arrange in person meetings and stay in touch?

    Jump

  • My parents lived in a part of the world where they didn't always have phones. Dad lived on a farm, mom lived in town. School together, Church together. After school, Dad would go "help around the house" at mom's. Or vice versa. Once they got old enough, one or the other would go to the city in the family car for shopping, and bring the other with. Go see a movie, grab a bite to eat together.

  • Not that I or anyone would ever have issues.

    Jump

  • Audio! I went from stereo to 7.1 and got this intense loud buzz that wouldn't go away! (Fedora KDE). Drove me nuts. Spent hours trying every dang thing. Finally connected it to a Windows machine. Same buzz. My woofer had just ate itself. Nothing to do with Linux at all.

  • Which musical groups have the most unique and identifiable soundscape (ignoring lead vocals)?

    Jump

  • Clipping. Totally out of my usual genres.

  • Society is Limited by Wage Slavery

    Jump

  • I obsessively/compulsively update and optimize computers. I see a missing driver or BIOS update not installed? A dusty CPU Fan? A security alert? I fix. I literally just went to bed after running "sudo dnf update -y && Sudo flatpak upgrade -y" on my wife's laptop that she doesn't even use! Thankfully, my work lets me tinker on machines all day, every day, and nobody cares if a side project shows up on the bench every now and then. I would do it for free if I didn't need the money. When I'm not at work, I do IT for family, and I volunteer at the library. I don't even game anymore, I self host and tinker. Hell, I spend more time mucking with Jellyfin than watching media. There are people like that. We exist.
