Mozilla Firefox Adds AI-Powered RTX Video
  • Nvidia, wayland issues aside is still the superior card 9/10 times. This isn't a gimmick to get people to buy Nvidia, most of us will buy it anyway. During my last purchase as I pondered over whether I should get an amd and move over to wayland or an Nvidia card that would allow me to locally generate images of whatever I wanted. It was a pretty easy decision, I'll stick to X11 and Nvidia until the end. Stuff like this is just a bonus

  • Not sure if antique or prehistoric
  • I read 2 articles on its creation and different animators were mentioned in each story. The only consensus I saw between the articles was that John Chadwick combined the baby model, animation and music together. The baby model was purchased to be used in 3DSMax, so they could have made it for Ally Mcbeal then sold the model

  • Not sure if antique or prehistoric
  • Interesting fact, this baby was everywhere because it came with 3D Studio Max. It was included as a demo model alongside a cartoony ogre and a velociraptor.

    The animation was also included to demo their Character Studio animation and motion capture capabilities.

  • Wayland usage has overtaken X11
  • Yea, half the conversion guides I read yesterday mentioned reinstalling grub, I don't dislike systemd boot personally but I just thought it was funny

  • Wayland usage has overtaken X11
  • Dunno, I used to run 3 monitors until I got an ultra wide, now I'm down to 2. Never had any issues getting the displays to work in either. It was mostly graphical glitches and screen tearing that drove me back to X11.

  • Wayland usage has overtaken X11
  • I thought Endeavour was just Arch with an installer. Conversion is as simple as swapping repos and removing the eos-hooks package apparently, and depending who you ask: cleansing systemd from your system.

  • Wayland usage has overtaken X11
  • I just switched to Endeavour from Manjaro when I upgraded my hardware, and every update changes the default kernel on the selection screen. I go in and edit the file to change the default from lts to the latest kernel, and the next update switches it right back. It's maddening, i could do Arch, and I've done it on other machines I just don't have the time for that level of customization. I already waste enough time tinkering.

  • Wayland usage has overtaken X11
  • He's only the second person I've seen to claim working dual monitor on wayland with Nvidia. All my attempts have lasted 5 mins max before something drove me back to X11.

  • Here is what 6 decommissioned servers looks like. My Jellyfin will be very happy
  • eWaste. We have a contract to give an outside company all our stuff. We degauss and shred hard drives and everything else does in a big bin that they pickup every month.

  • We have a hard drive degausser and shredder. Lucky bastard taking things home

  • Say the truth, Arrowhead!
  • They were the WF-500's. I have a high end pair of Bose earbuds for music, but for audiobooks at work I just wanted something decent. What really got me to return them is I couldn't use them single ear and have controls. Bought some Monster brand Chinese earbuds for dirt cheap, it's my third pair from this brand and for the most part I get a good 18 months out of them before they have connection issues or the battery doesn't last.

  • I bought Sony Bluetooth earbuds recently, out of the box they wouldn't connect. You have to download an app, and agree to their EULA which is essentially "Were gonna steal data about everything you listen to" before you can connect to them via Bluetooth. Returned them the same day. Fuck Sony.

  • MO2 works amazing with proton, even with an excessive amount of mods
  • Found this last week, makes running external programs much easier.

  • Can’t stand it when they do that
  • I used to know where every single thing I wanted in Walmart was. In and out very fast. Then they put up signs saying they're remodeling and they moved entire sections, then moved those same sections to completely different parts of the store within a few months, then they put everything behind locked cabinets so I have to wait around for an associate to unlock a cabinet everytime I need shaving cream. Who the fuck is stealing shaving cream. Now I shop on the app and do pickup because who the fuck has time for that shit

  • I'm back on that other OS for work
  • You'll wanna use PowerShell. It has its eccentricities when running programs but is a more shell like experience

  • its true tho
  • This isn't the site I normally use, but it's another one:

    https://grizzlysms.com/signal

    You get a unique phone number, signal sends the activation text, you confirm the account. And they add the number to a blocklist so no one else can use that number and screw your account up. I've done it for Discord, Telegram & Signal. I have Signal running in Waydroid right now, without my phone number attached to it

  • its true tho
  • There are many services that will give you a temp number to sign up with for these services. I have many verified discord accounts, none of which are my actual phone number.

  • Most people on weight loss drugs are spending less on restaurants and takeout, survey says
  • Not in the US, but production is limited and there have been pretty bad shortages in Canada and Australia. They had to put an export ban on Ozempic because so much of it was being sold to Americans, in Canada we pay $160US, while the same box sells for $970US in the states.

    Im a diabetic, and earlier in the year we had a hard time getting it due to all the off label use.

  • Boredom births creativity
  • I think I saw the original urbex pictures from the house. I vaguely remember it. Wonder who broke the golden rule and removed it.

  • Ripping Podcasts

    So lately I've been seeing shorts on YT about a D&D podcast that looks mildly interesting and I'm running out of good webnovels to listen to with TTS at work. So I thought I would give podcasts a shot...

    They have instream ads... And it's the same damn ad on repeat Not the same ad, that was a Conan podcast I listened to in the past, but still it's like 4 ads in a row. Is there a tool to download these podcasts and strip their ads? I just read that there's a way to download them via rss so that's what I'm going to try now. But manual ad removal might get tedious over a hundred episodes.

    I can't imagine with all the nerd centric podcasts that we wouldn't have automated a way to extract ads by this point.

    Edit: At this point, trying a number of things. yt-dlp seems to be the best way to do it. If the podcast is available on YouTube someone most likely has already submitted SponsorBlock segments for it. You can then use yt-dlp to download the episode or the whole playlist using this command: ```

    yt-dlp --sponsorblock-remove all --ignore-errors --format bestaudio --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 --audio-quality 192K --output "%(title)s.%(ext)s" --yes-playlist 'PLAYLIST URL'

    ``` You can even run it directly in Termux on your Android phone and skip sponsors on the go.
