  • Another W

    Jump

  • I have zero mods. I ran a Ryzen 5 5600x RTX3070 with 16gb ram and I eventually got like 150 ducks or something and every few seconds the computer started to pause and think. It was eventually unbearable. I googled it and thought it was my overall number of beings in the area. So I started wholesale duck slaughter and I think it got better. I have a better computer now haven't gone back yet. Are you telling me it's not my PC?

  • I've got a decent rig and rimworld chokes at a reasonable farmyard size. What's your secret?

  • My list starts somewhere around the Challenger explosion and really doesn't let up from there

  • I thought it was "Mountain Street Helen's".

  • Simple inexpensive cloud backup?

    Jump

  • Use Restic backups to a local drive then sync that with something like rsync to ovhcloud cloud archive (not cold archive but that can work too). You can also skip the local copy but it's better to have one and if you sync weekly it gives you opportunities to do things like cull photos you took too many of before it slaps them all up. There are plenty of GUI based restic interfaces now if you want a quick check or browse. Use healthchecks.io to monitor the cronjobs and alert you if they aren't working.

  • How do you effectively backup your high capacity (20+ TB) local NAS?

    Jump

  • Abefinder/Neofinder is great for cataloging but it costs money. If you do a limited backup it's good to know what you had. I use tape formatted to LTFS and Neofind both the source and the finished tape.

  • One good thing about getting into a new relationship is that you get to re-tell all your best jokes and stories

  • I had an ex once tell me my own story back to me as if it happened to her first hand. I didn't tell her and just went uh huh. But I think she was confused why I didn't find the story funny. Which she thought was hilarious when she had heard the story from me.

  • Sometimes I wonder if the "Quantum Immortality" thought experiment is actually real... considering how many times I could've died.

    Jump

  • Truly terrifying. But fun to briefly ponder. The book is quite a humbling read and put my mood in a different state for a week afterwards. Among the theories about everything being an accident. There is a chapter about how the Higgs Boson isn't quite where it should be by our current understanding possibly by accident, and if even one Boson were to correct it's location by a gigantic energy event there would be a chain reaction that would mean the entire universe would be obliterated.

  • Yeah. When I read it, my life overall hasn't been that bad and my immediate thought was a sort of mystical comfort that the end isn't always an end. Then a few minutes later I thought, what if you had have been human trafficked or some other terrible nightmare. To repeat forever. If there is any truth to it we need to do all efforts to eliminate it today.

    I'm not a physicist but I think the physics behind it is that they have observed some atoms instantly revert back to a previous state that they have been in. If it's possible that given a long enough time line one atom can go back at random any atom can and sort of like a random dice role. When infinity is in an equation anything that happens even in a 1-1billionth chance will happen because of infinity rerolls. That all atoms in the universe at random and at the same time revert back to a previous state they were in. The book doesn't like to comment too much on whether the theory is viable or not just that it exists.

  • There is a great book by Katie Mack called The End of Everything. She runs through all the top theories like this. It's quite enjoyable.

    One of the theories about the universe repeating has that ponderous nature that if this moment will be repeated forever any good thing you can do help someone will be repeated forever so if you have a choice to help or not you should think about that action being cemented forever. She doesn't go into free will and such, there are many other theories.

  • Saying "Be careful" when someone stumbles is more an admonishment than a warning.

    Jump

  • I'm often surprised how much of an asshat people can be, shouting from what is likely the most valuable portable possession they own. Be a damn shame if something should happen to it.

  • Do you reckon more blowjobs are given by straight women, or gay men?

  • "..and who's bringing what." I love that line.

  • Hi, I've had a good experience with the G6 dome cams. Works well. The door bell has been difficult. It works better on android than iPhone. Talking to people at the door sucks on iPhone (quiet voice from the phone to the door person) it has been a bug for some time they haven't fixed. Google forums of people complaining about not working or quiet voice. If all you want is video recording on the door bell it's good enough. But frequently interacting with multiple phones and guests gets frustrating on the G4 Pro.

  • Two women, in their own driveway, had assault rifles pointed at them. ICE agents broke their car window with a rifle stock and dragged them out.

  • I was talking to an employee of a drone tech startup recently. Instead of a project roadmap the DARPA rep asked "how quickly can you deliver something, we want asap / this year."

  • Western Digital details 14-platter 3.5-inch HAMR HDD designs with 140 TB and beyond

    Jump

  • I wonder why current consumer HDD's don't have NVME connectors on them. Like I know speeding up the bus isn't going to make the spinning rust access faster but the cache ram would probably benefit from not being capped at 550MBps

  • LLM's despite all the flaws it probably made it easier to switch to Linux. Have a stupid or niche question no need to be judge just ask an LLM.

    Jump

  • I agree. I believe that if I know the answer and it's simple I should just help people out. A couple of days ago, I thought I'd try asking chatgpt a relatively simple cli string of commands. I knew most of it but couldn't get it right. It just told me the answer in one succinct paragraph. Afterwards I thought "woah it didn't even snark and cast shade on me for asking, it just handed it over without gate keeping superiority." What a refreshing experience.

  • Nextcloud/OneDrive Files-only Replacement

    Jump

  • It's not free but it's awesome and cheap. Setup a WebDAV share and join it using "Mountainduck.io". It connects to everything like SMB but I find WebDAV's multichannel is more performant in the long run. Checks notes Win/Mac only sorry.

  • Do you prefer fluffy UI over Liquid Glass?

    Jump

  • Yeah if the fuzz flattened when you passed your finger over it, I'd be in.

    Shower thoughts do seem to inspire! So why aren't we always hosting our zoom calls and high powered business meetings from the shower?
