Student dorm does not allow wifi routers
  • Honestly this sounds like a bit of a pickle. If I were in your situation I would just use one of the cellular carriers 5g internets. I personally use a T-Mobile 5g internet hotspot with a fresh tomato flashed nether 6700 plugged into it. Then I basically do all of my networking from that. Latency is a fair bit higher (usually about 30-50ms) but upload is significantly better than spectrum.

    Decentralised YouTube alternative Odysee no longer serving ads
    1. Install watch on odysee extension.
    2. Make a odysee account
    3. Continue your normal habits of watching YouTube but being redirected to odysee when creators have posted there.
    4. hurt YouTube just a little bit.

    I’m so sick of hearing that odysee is only a nazi crypto scam. That content exists on every platform but by shitting all over every option that comes out and then whining when YouTube does more anti user crap is just ridiculous.

    You don't need to just use odysee. You can use YouTube for your recommendations then be redirected for the content. Eventually when recommendations are there it will be an easy transition for the majority of people but until then, at the very least don’t step on the face of a working competitor that has good intentions.

    P.s. You don’t need to use the token, it was mostly just given to viewers and creators for free.

    Summer Giveaway because why not - Steam Codes! - Giveaway Ends Aug 31!
  • My girlfriend has been watching her friends dog while they are out of town and she sent me this recently. I can’t exactly remember the pups name right offhand which is sad because I went to his birthday party.. they had cake, a portrait on the wall and they actually made stickers of the dog for everyone.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade would be rad, the og was the first rpg I played and finished.

    Thanks for putting this on!

  • I don’t think I’ve ever seen a place that sold monk fish processed so it kind of shocked me to see this whole monkfish in a supermarket.

    I'm sorry, little one
  • I wouldn’t say it particularly sucks. It could be used as a powerhouse hosting server. Docker makes it very easy to do no matter the os now a days. Really though I’d say its competition is more along the lines of ampere systems in terms of power to performance. It even beats amperes 128 core arm cpu at a power to performance ratio which is extremely impressive in the server/enterprise world. Not to say you’re gonna see them in data centers because price to performance is a thing as well. I just feel like it fits right into the niche it was designed for.

    is it possible to host a small instance on your pc without renting anything?
  • You make good points here for the beginner however there are better alternatives and solutions for basically everything you mentioned here. The biggest I want to address is conflicts on your system. Generally running servers on metal is just outright bad practice. Containerize. Always containerize. There are lots of great options. Docker, podman, Lxc, helm, flatpak.. hell. Snap if you must. Running servers on metal is generally is just asking for trouble unless the system’s entire purpose is for that. Also the cg-nat situation. Personally been behind it for a few years but it’s not a problem as long as you have a reverse proxy tunnel in place. Not a hard fix at all.

    The AI-focused COPIED Act would make removing digital watermarks illegal (as well as training any kind of AI on copyrighted content)
  • For those who are saying just photoshop.

    Obviously you can just use other software but PS is the main choice for image editing. What they need to do is put legislation in place and it will make the biggest players implement this form of drm.

    So much for Blockchain's real life use cases
  • Just to elaborate here. You are describing one implementation of a blockchain that provides a cryptocurrency. Blockchain is literally just another form of a database. It’s just that it can contain traits that would allow the database to be shared and distributed unlike typical databases. Currently there are some companies that are utilizing blockchain for their inventory systems. They aren’t using any more energy than they would with a typical system. They are just doing it to keep an unchanging record of past transactions which helps with fraud and loss prevention.

    P.S. Money laundering using a system that is publicly distributed and has every transaction involving usd paired with an ID, social security number and enough pictures of your face to make a 3D model is genuinely idiotic.

    Cloudflare is bad. Youre right.
  • If you like 1.1.1.1 the. You should try 9.9.9.9. Or better yet host unbound pihole if you’re up to the challenge. Best dns experience I’ve had.

  • Nothing, I was just stating that the only real option for an easy Nvidia Wayland experience right now is kde. If anything it’s a complement.

    US Record Labels Sue AI Music Generators Suno and Udio for Copyright Infringement
  • Jesus Christ. Have people never heard of covers? Every song here is in some way or another akin to a published cover of another song. Pretty bad ones at that. Obviously if it were matching the songs one for one, then it would be considered copywrite enforceable but realistically these would be more along the lines of copywrite abuse. The music labels would absolutely love for this precedent to be set so that anything even that remotely resembles anything ever made will allow them to own new independent artists within established genres.

    The cases

    Here is a list of cases that set precedent. The thing that connects them all and makes them relevant is that the defendant was either successful, made a lot of money, was very popular or it was the label attacking a artist for sounding like themself after leaving the band. See John Fogerty v. John Fogerty

    [Weekly thread] GNU+Linux help thread: ask anything!
  • Yeah, I’ve been testing nouveau with NVK+zinc. Can definitely confirm that the Nvidia open source drivers are getting better and it’s happening fast. Desktop experience is nearly flawless now except quite a few games still don’t work and Nvidia specific features are disabled(cuda, rtx, dlss). AMD is def the way to go for a good experience on Linux.

    I’m just hoping to see things change seeing as Nvidia hired the nouveau maintainer and he has been contributing directly to nouveau using his Nvidia provided email here as of late.

    Linux Server OSes?
  • Debian is a pretty safe choice overall but and I’m sure I’m going to get downvoted like crazy but arch has been a fantastic server OS for me for a while. Debian is pretty hands off but I have some pretty unorthodox requirements/hardware setups and the combination of the wiki and such a wide range of packages supported has enabled me to use the hardware to its fullest potential. Also rolling release lts kernel is pretty dope.
