HEVC is proprietary.

AV1 is what we need. And a lot of newer hardware finally supports it.

I share posts they’ll like.

Or tell them about communities I’ve found I think they’ll like.

If they ask how to participate I pick an instance for them and just link them direct to the signup page, then show them how to sign in in an app.

That way there is basically no jargon. No complexity. If they sign up, they do so out of genuine interest for the content. If they ask what federation is, I explain. But the neat thing is, you don’t really need to know about it to have a good experience on the fediverse.

Plus when people see the @ with a url, they kinda just naturally get that it’s like email. They notice that it’s part of a users “address” and that it differentiates users, but they don’t really think about it past that.

Us being here for ideological reasons is extremely unusual. Most people don’t make decisions that way.

Besides. If you find good content FIRST and sign up to engage with it second, it is so much easier to become and remain a regular user.

Except OPs rule would essentially be identical.

When you see someone “treating others as they want to be treated” than that is what you’d do to them. Hence following that rule when it is deserved.

But unlike with “treat others as they want to be treated”, OPs version would mean you respond to malice in kind.

NAS drives matter. Even without disk activity, 24/7 means they’ll do a LOT more spinning than other use cases.

You don’t run a torrent server on the NAS? Generally you wanna be doing the actual torrenting on something with uptime and storage.

Then to manage the torrents you either use a webui or app.

Are you just using a desktop client?

That’s unfortunately not how words work.

Get into etymology and you’d be surprised at the number of words whose current meanings are complete 180s from their historical definitions.

You can’t just look at a word a decide what it means. Very few people use the word feminist to intend what you are claiming it means.

Suggesting they secretly intend your interpretation is mad, and claiming everyone except you is using the word wrong just means youre the one who has its definition wrong.

In addition to what the others said, you can also connect it to a TV receiver, and watch live TV. Even use the DVR features to schedule recordings to watch later.

Nevermind redacted. They are insanely anal about… Everything. They literally have a rule against letting people who say they want to get in, get in.

Just use soulseek (nicotine+).

1. Years.

3. No.

Cinnamon development is glacial. It works, but the project simply does not have the resources to properly keep up or even triage important fixes.

It’s one of the reasons I didn’t stick with mint, and tend not recommend it if someone can use something else. When I stopped using it, the setting that was supposed to allow games in fullscreen to display without compositing was borked, costing you frames and latency. It had been that way for years.

I’m a KDE user, but I’m also going to add a vote for gnome.

It’s just going to be more “familiar” to tablet logic.

Fedora Silverblue would be my distro pick. For the immutability.

I’m not sure.

AFAIK dd will create an IDENTICAL environment. This is actually not desirable as it will cause UUID conflicts where multiple partitions in a system have the same UUID.

Unless you’re restoring something you imaged, dding one disk onto another requires fiddling with the UUIDs and fstab, to make the partitions unique again, so the kernel can tell them apart.

Yes.

But moving a partition can’t be done online. And often enough it’s mecessary before growing one, that I generally just tell people to do partition changes offline.

Not if you need to move it first.

Yes. You can just straight up delete the windows partition. Windows just won’t boot anymore, even though doing only this won’t remove it from the boot menu.

You can do this from your running linux install, but if you want to grow the linux partition to take up the free space, you’ll need to do that from a live usb.

No changes should be necessary. Just delete the windows partition, and grow the linux partition.

Make sure you keep the efi partition, and swap partition, if there is one.

Yeah. It’s straight fire.

Don’t forget her yuriposting. Top quality stuff.

I can confirm that I’m not autistic, afaik I’m a plain cis white guy with a probably neurotypical brain.

My “bot” is a set of automation tools I wrote that let me turn my fanart collecting hobby into posts that get posted at a constant trickle instead of a flood. I do see and verify every post before they go into the queue.

My real quirk is my commenting habit. I was already an avid reddit commenter before finding lemmy, but over here something puts it into overdrive. I think it’s because discussion here is just higher quality and more respectful (at least in the subs I frequent). Plus its small enough that the comment section is not as much of a popularity contest. I’ve averaged 10 comments a day for two years now… That’s normal. Right?

Also hello. Haven’t run into you much since the start of !gameart@sopuli.xyz.

It depends.

Modern SSDs come in various types. Ones that store multiple bits per cell, do so by using multiple charge levels to represent multiple bits. Instead of one and zero, there can for instance be four different charge levels to represent 00, 01, 10, and 11, allowing a single cell to store two bits.

That makes a cell much more sensitive, since a smaller change in the charge is required to change the stored value. As opposed to an SLC cell which would simply be empty or charged depending on whether it’s storing a 1 or a 0.

Good SLC nand should be able to store stuff for a decade just fine, if not longer. This is what’ll be in any decent USB drive, as they’re intended to spend the vast majority of their time unpowered.

QLC nand uses 16 different charge levels to store 4 bits per cell. That means a 1/16 change in charge would start corrupting data. PLC is in development, and will use 32 levels to store 5 bits. This’ll be in your budget multi-terabyte SSDs.

Temperature also plays a role. The nand cells will lose charge at different rates at different temperatures.

You’ll want to consult the specs of whatever drive your looking at. The variance is huge. From some drives needing a firmware level “data-refresh” that’s constantly keeping the data from disappearing (people seeing bit-rot was a problem with some drives back when TLC first became common), to stuff that’s fine for decades.

That’s a coinflip.

The HDDs in my dads home server have outlasted the CDs he burned back in the day.

That’s not to say HDDs are a safe option, either. You won’t know whether a drive is going to last a year or ten until it fails.

To be clear, they created new packages with these names. Anyone can make anything available on the AUR, but you cannot issue updates under someone elses existing package name.
