I go on protondb and see if people regularly have problems. If not I check to see if someone has the same GPU. Then I try whatever trick they have there. Then I try switching to an X11 session instead of wayland.

If there’s a launcher like rockstar I search for that specifically.

You’re allowed to use the solar on the roof before buying from the grid which will save you tons on most days. The UK grid operates on marginal pricing so if you buy from the grid the highest price provider dictates the price.

This essentially means that you pay the peaker plant nat gas price for electricity where every MWh hits pretty hard on the bill. To recoup the investment in the UK, especially with the interconnectors inside the Eurostar tunnel, is pretty easy and a decentralised grid allows the UK to skip building a lot of power lines for energy that’s used locally.

This is an amazing policy. Very simple, very effective. It comes at a time when Labor is trying to push more housing and Octopus energy makes these panels very economical for the average UK home buyer.

I’d spend more time playing guitar and chess and spend more time with my son.

It’s not, Vim is GNU. I listed some of them as “I use open source and proprietary” things. Jellyfin is open source also.

As an example I’m on Linux for a decade now but I also use proprietary services. I use Jellyfin and Netflix, Vim and Jetbrains IDEs, Chess.com instead of Lichess, WhatsApp instead of Matrix.

Sometimes the value proposition does it for me, sometimes it’s the network effect. I’ve ditched reddit because I like Lemmy more but I can see how someone wants to stay in touch with their niche communities that don’t really exist on Lemmy. Probably some people use both.

You’ll need to have 500k shares total for the valuation to be 1M

Patience, the price will drop and the game will be just as good

One blindspot is that the ear is not good at determining whether the sound comes directly in front or back of the head.

I stick to few sources that generally cover major without the doom and gloom. Generally YouTube channels are pretty good imo.

• TLDR News (UK, EU and Global) is a great series of channels for that.

• Caspian report on YouTube for some geopolitics/strategic outlook.

• Real life lore for couple of deep dives on non-current issues.

• Money and Macro for macro economic news.

• Just have a think for climate science and energy transition news.

• “Good news” is just nice feelgood news.

Traditional media for closely following elections when they come out such as exit polls.

For the Gaza issue I did break the cycle and check on Al Jazeera which is the best for middle East news.

I torrent a lot on Linux and use Qbittorrent. Surfshark has a great VPN on Linux.

If you want to get into it then Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr and nzb360 ($10) with Jellyfin is a great stack to manage your library but needs a bit of work to set up. You can then use the phone to download and search and watch it with an android TV app.

I had some issues setting it up with a ublue fedora immutable distro which are pretty non-existent on most standard distros.

Fairphone comes pretty close.

Jellyfin is not there yet but it definitely can be. It can be done pretty easily without any centralised server.

1. Sending people magic links to their accounts on their phones that auto log them into Jellyfin.
2. Make IP dictionary to have people type “cat mug door end” which pings the server with a login from an IP.
3. Show QR code.
4. Scan with an authorised app which pings the server to authorise the device on behalf of the user.

It’s passwordless 4 word input + phone scan that can be optimised for TV pretty heavily since you only need make something 10^12 unique to account for all IPv4.

It will take around 15-30 hours to code though for a person familiar with Jellyfin on android TV and server.

I haven’t tried Plex but Jellyfin is super easy. Type in IP, username and password and you’re done. Only need to setup port forwarding on the router to make it work.

If you think that’s bad you don’t want to know what they put inside the fake meat. Let’s just say that it’s not a coincidence that there are now more genders. /s

You could also get away with 4x8GB that will double the speed instead of spending the money on total capacity.

Oh, gotcha, yeah, shourd be removed globally if possible and replaced with a fediverse alternative that doesn’t promote fear mongering shitposts
