I had the same situation with kenshi. I can only imagine how much worse it would be on Helldivers lol

• HDMI isn’t labeled.
• The third usb port is flipped
• HDMI port isn’t parallel with other ports.

Me, fighting with using an am5 chipset & nvidia graphics card for Wayland based distros because damn it, who needs a working machine anyway: “Heh, guess I’m not a clown”

You think oxygen is your ally, but you merely adopted the oxygen. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn’t see carbon dioxide until I was already a man!

Glad to hear we’re not the only country with an imperial hangover! Our experience is pretty much the same. Bathroom scales, gym weights etc all have both kg and lb on them. Over time society here does seem to be shifting more toward metric; most people tend to know their height in both these days, whereas 20 years ago it would have been predominantly ft rather than cm.

Do you think lbs change depending on what we’re measuring? A lb is a lb here too…

I’d argue a comprehension of both metric and imperial is superior, as well as provides insight into which the inferior measurement is, but you do you mate.

Actually we use both. For example, body weight is (traditionally) stone and lbs, but parcel weight is usually kg.

The same is true for length; height in feet, but stuff like room measurements in cm.

I think the only area where we’re actually consistent is traveling distance? All signs and gauges are in Mph rather than Km/h. In fact the only time I can think of someone talking about distance in kilometres, is to do with sports (IE a 5k/10k running event).

Soccer was only ever a nickname tbf, It stood for a(socc)iation football.

I guess an equivalent would be like calling your police the bobby force.

I like it, if we can look to harness all of the potatoes processing power, which I’m sure alone is not much (but according to the physics in portal 2, is enough to power a minor AI instance), we can do away with both having to incubate and feed the pesky human processors as well as having to run a matrix at all. I presume a potato is content with its life regardless of manipulation.

Would’ve made the films far less interesting though.

I think the point was more about the quantity of power required to achieve results, rather than the specific sources given. IE: you can run a brain on a few potatoes, but you can’t run a super computer on the same due to a lack of sufficient power output.

Consequently you can’t really run a human brain on nuclear power either, though that’s probably due to radiation poisoning moreso than a lack of required power generated.

Enshittification, in my kitchen?!

You have to be pretty naive to not have seen this one coming from a mile off. But hey, at least people can see what’s in their fridge without having to open the door, what a luxury.

Conversely, I’d imagine there are babysitters out there who at times wish they could just throw the baby away.

Rubber? I barely know her!

Congrats! Out of the usual suspects, (nginx, traefik & caddy), id say nginx has the steepest learning curve, so it’s definitely something to crow about mate! I know professionals in the tech industry that have a hard time with nginx config, so an enthusiast getting it down is a bigger deal than you’re giving yourself credit for.

I host various services for friends and family; and here are a couple I think will be of particular interest to you:

• matrix server with element clients. (Self hosted discord/WhatsApp alternative which is open source unlike TS).
• Drop server and client setup (self hosted steam like experience).

Another thing I would strongly suggest doing, is setting up a single sign on Auth server. Something that will allow your friends and family to have one login for anything you setup. Personally I use keycloak. But there are other options like authentik and voidauth that are worth looking at too!

Congrats again on the progress mate! You’re smashing it so far.

‘Fighting in the canteen?! That’s a week in the McHole for you!’

I’ve played enough peak to know these are essential when trying to make a jump that looks like you should make, but probably won’t.

You can access the gov link seen in the screenshot and see it’s legit from the US gov rather than a common scammer: https://www.dhs.gov/cbphome.

Ofc the current US gov are some of the most prolific grifters that country has ever seen, so your point still stands that these people will likely be scammed… They’ll just likely end up thrown into a concentration camp rather than deported on a commercial flight with $1,000 as promised.

When is it ever about anything else?
