Sometimes the grass is greener
  • I know a guy that used a women's hygiene product once by mistake. Now he's a she and doesn't have a penis anymore. Make sure your family knows the dangers involved of using the incorrect gendered hygiene product. It's like plugging a 120v appliance into the 240v outlet.

  • What interesting things can I do with my home WiFi network?
  • I made a similar thing on my home network. It uses php's built in file upload and runs in the web browser so you don't even need an app. It's just basic beginner level html and php in 2 files that goes on my lan server. Makes it super easy to transfer files between phones, windows pcs and Linux pcs.

    I gave up on fighting with windows pcs to try getting them to connect to samba shares a long time ago and you'll never access a samba or windows network share on a smartphone without paying money for some shitty app anyway. Despite this relatively low-tech solution it ends up being more practical just because it's easy and convenient.

  • Mornings
  • Even in 2024, so many pcs people regularly use are utter shite. It's gotten to the point where people just expect it to take 5 seconds for the ui to respond to anything and consider it an unchangeable fact of life.

    It took a lot of effort the other day to convince a boomer that Edge freezing then crashing while using it and losing all the data was actually, in fact, undesirable and unintended behavior.

  • Miss me with that low bitrate
  • Things are so tight that 1 streaming service would be an irresponsible expense for me. $15/month for an expense that can be circumvented if you're smart, its a no brainer. I feel like society has done more harm to me than any amount of piracy will ever do to them. Where are all these high paying jobs I was promised I could have if I got a degree, huh? I'm worse off now than before I made the decision to go to school. It's pirated or nothing for me but it's also more convenient. That enshittified corporate ui shit is slow.

  • Virgin Media Warns UK Broadband Users Not to Switch Routers Off at Night - ISPreview UK
  • Part of the reason I went to school for computer engineering is just so when people try to argue stupid bullshit like leaving your router plugged in will start a fire, hopefully they'll recognize that im qualified enough to know better and fuck off.

  • Snap out of it
  • We should normalize programs that don't use such exotic and impossible libraries that you have to do anything besides type "make" and "make install" for it to work.

    In theory it's a no brainer. In practice not so much.

  • Grand Theft Auto V gets BattlEye anti-cheat, breaks online play on Steam Deck / Linux
  • Well I wasn't planning on playing GTA 5 but now I guess it'll have to be pirated GTA 5 only so I can play a pre-anticheat version. It sucks that GTA is a game where all the mod developers try hard to make their stuff not work on pirated versions. Guess I'll be avoiding that entire toxic community as a whole. Cyberpunk a better game anyway.

  • No One Is Buying AMD Zen 5 CPUs, So What's Going On?
  • Everything is expensive and everyone's underemployed thanks to all the damage large corporations have done to the job market and the economy as a whole.

    I just want to make almost as much money as I made as a shift manager in fast food 10 years ago, which is a job I ironically walked away from to get educated. I just hope the democrats win so they can maybe reverse some of that anti homelessness stuff because we're all going to need it.

  • Has Google Search gotten so much worse in the last couple of weeks?
  • The internet has slowly become more and more useless over time since the pandemic. It's fucking impossible to find anything now. Half the time it's like I have better luck doing an lan search on my home network than looking it up on Google and I'm not even very deep into the self hosted everything rabbit hole.

    It's like they want us all to be stupid, uninformed and not know how to do anything.

  • Pokémon
  • Every morning I ask myself "how can I dress as phallic and vaginally as possible today without it being HR reportable?🤔"

    If I don't have anything floral and penile enough, I'll compensate by using the word "moist" several times in conversation that day just to be on the safe side.

  • Why is waking up when my alarm goes off so difficult and unpleasant yet "sleeping in" doesn't feel good and isn't satisfying?

    It's like can't win. Its been like this my entire life. I currently have don't have problems getting to sleep but it's waking up that's bullshit.

    What's a standalone open source project that does file searching?

    I have a php webpage with a search bar that uses php code to search my server for files. It's really slow. It's a custom made thing I came up with years ago.

    Are there any standalone python or c++ projects or libraries I can use that handle file searching? Plugging in a more optimal search function into this system would be a massive improvement but I can't really replace this with a different system because reasons. If the only way to get such a feature is if I program it myself, then I'll have to do that as it will be less work than migrating to a new system. But I'm pretty sure there exists something I could use to manage the search so I can shoehorn that in to the codebase instead of starting from scratch. Any suggestions?

    Tl;dr I'm looking for a command line search program that runs on Linux and has some form of indexing.

    OpenAI has built a text watermarking method to detect chatgpt written content

    Am I missing something? The article seems to suggest it works via hidden text characters. Has OpenAI never heard of pasting text into a utf8 notepad before?

    How do I download YouTube videos in 1080p instead of 4k with yt-dlp?

    This is killing me. Videos that are gigabytes in size instead of a couple hundred mb. I don't have the storage space for this. I don't have the bandwidth for this. More and more content creators are using 4k video instead of 1080p. Is there an easy way to make it only download videos in 1080p? I've found a few commands around the internet that don't work, presumably they work on some videos sometimes but that's just not good enough.

    I download videos from a custom made web interface connected to yt-dlp so if it's no longer going to be possible to automate the process of video and playlist downloading then everything is going to become a huge pain in the ass.
