xyguy@startrek.websitetohomelab@lemmy.ml•first attempt at a homelab, please any adviceEnglish2·25 days agoUSB ssds seem to have a lot of weird issues being used for a nas drive. Sometimes its a power management thing on the SSD itself, sometimes its something odd with the USB controller on the host. Occasionally the power supply of the sff pc doesnt have enough amps for all of the peripherals. Using an intermediary like a usb hub makes all of these issues worse since you add another device with its own potential conflicts.
Not to say its not possible to do, but USB drives and NAS’s rarely play nice together.

WB wanted $75M - $80M for the film and rejected offers from Netflix, Amazon & Paramount, refusing to let them counter-offer.English4·2 years agoSelling to Netflix? Psssh. The real money is in is releasing films in cardboard-cased DVDs at truck stops and dollar stores.
xyguy@startrek.websiteto [Outdated, please look at pinned post] Casual Conversation@lemmy.world•What's an underrated/life changing product that's cheap?English1·2 years agoI thought my desk was smooth too untill I got a mousepad. It also keeps the little feet on the bottom of the mouse from getting worn out as quickly. The effort to start and stop the mouse seems trivial, until you see just how easy it can truly be with a mousepad.
It also helps keep crap from building up on the mouse skates since the soft mousepad is constantly “sweeping” the bottom of the mouse.

If you work at a desktop it makes a huge difference to overall ergonomics.
Also the squatty potty. Especially if you have a high toilet.

xyguy@startrek.websiteto PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Intel Arc Graphics A580 / A750 / A770 Linux Performance For Early 2024 Review3·2 years agoThe latest round of AMD apus generated a fair amount of debate about how for the same money you could get a cheap CPU and GPU and best it in most tests.
I think Intel would really shine there especially the A750 since it has a lot of quality hardware features including AV1 encoding.

xyguy@startrek.websiteto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Mothers know that this is a wholesome combination.English3·2 years agoAccording to Wikipedia.
Tuomey assumed a central role in the ensuing investigations, and, with fellow Aldermen E. Harrison Reed and William Tucker, shielded the dairies and turned the hearings into one-sided exercises designed to make dairy critics and established health authorities look ridiculous, even going to the extent of arguing that swill milk was actually as good or better for children than regular milk.
Ah

xyguy@startrek.websiteto Linux@lemmy.ml•This guy has a good take on linux companies, agree or disagree?English15·2 years agoI think a lot of people get caught up in wanting Linux to “win” be getting more market share or getting XYZ software ported to Linux but Linux is doing great. Unlike Microsoft aggressively pushing Windows and sacrificing their own users on the altar of market share, Linux can just be.
More share would be great and greater software availability would be awesome but Linux doesn’t need to “beat” Windows or Mac to be useful or relevant or good. It already is. And I for one look forward to any new DE’s that anyone wants to make.
It would be nice to get some kind of more usable CAD program on Linux though but it’s not up to Pop_OS to do that, it’s up to Autodesk or a team of extremely talented FOSS programmers or a Blender Foundation situation where the whole industry commits to a new open standard.

I will say though that even though I know it will just be a text adventure, I kid of want to play it now.

xyguy@startrek.websiteOPto Linux@lemmy.ml•Trouble with Handbrake, PopOS and Accelerated AV1English2·2 years agoI saw that in the docs. I am only interested in encoding in AV1. My CPU is a 5900x so it’s decent enough at decoding. I’ll check ffmpeg settings.

xyguy@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•Revisiting Browser Trust - Security Now. Browser Certificate Stores and QWACsEnglish6·2 years agoThe real issue with QWACS is the idea that the EU government requires them to be added to web browsers running in the EU. It’s bad enough that France and Germany can issue those certificates but imagine Erdogan’s government pushing them out.
It’s not like any politician knows how the Internet works and that someone who knows better couldn’t rip those certificates out, but the tyranny of the default means that governments will have more control over EU citizens browsing. That’s not something likely to benefit anyone.
