Jake Rule vs Mike Ruleson
  • I haven't kept up with his stuff but according to some article I read, he's been essentially crippled for a few years now? Like had to be in a wheelchair 2 years ago, then vomited so much blood at one point that the fight was pushed by 6 months... He's not healthy for an 80 year old, much less 58.

  • What your coffee preparation method says about you
  • There's no pot involved here, you put it in the mug, but ideally you also use a super fine grind so it stays in the mug usually

    “everyone else is drinking weak coffee, I make the real stuff” kinda like Terry was certain that his ways were best even though alternatives already existed.

    Oh fair enough

    To be fair I didn't mean to insinuate that it's manlier to drink literal mud, it's just how my mom always made it for herself when I was a kid and I just... learned to like it. It's very much an acquired taste. But yes, there's always a moment of pride when people say "wtf how can you drink this shit" :)

  • What your coffee preparation method says about you
  • It's moderately common in my country where coffee is often consumed for the caffeine content and not the taste. We call it the "thief's coffee" because it's minimal prep to get your fix quickly, almost as if you were committing a burglary lol

  • What your coffee preparation method says about you
  • Formerly Gentoo, now TumbleWeed user. But this chart doesn't align

    I put the ground coffee (a lot of it) in the mug and pour hot water. Stir it a bit later, then the grounds stay put in the bottom usually. I've been told I drink asphalt, but then I just feel like everyone drinks very weak coffee. I do this because I want it to be a quick process, I don't want to buy a fancy machine that requires maintenace, and I want my coffee to have a proper kick.

    What distro does this mean?

  • The American Empire
  • I'm fairly sure there's historical and cultural reasons for the Okinawa bases being disliked amongst the locals. There was like a little war thingy you may have heard of, I believe it was the second of its' series.

    Anyway.

    I'm from one of those countries where NATO troops and equipment get stationed. Most locals seem to be grateful, I know I am. Putin will be too scared to make any moves if there are both American AND British troops in our bases.

  • Mexico Goes All In on Housing: 1 Million New Homes, Zero-Interest Mortgages
  • Looks like the housing market is going to be better there at least, so you've got that going for you! Hell, maybe they're anticipating an incoming deportation crisis and that's why they're building.

    On a more serious note, I do hope nobody will forcefully deport you and that you get to keep on living in the country where you always have and probably plan on continuing to live in. My country suffered through two mass deportation events several decades before I was born and this is STILL affecting families. I don't wish for anyone else to have to go through this.

  • Netflix used to not have ads, now it’s ‘celebrating’ two years with them
  • Your jellyfin server can just be your computer, it just needs to be running when you want to watch the content.

    My desktop hasn't been shut down other than for quick system updates (and it's Linux so I do mean QUICK) in several months.

  • Trying to Help
  • Unused code is stripped out by the compiler, but will your homemade library properly use all the fancy instruction set extensions for matrices? IIRC it's not as simple as just compiling for the correct microarch. But I could be wrong.

    How does Retold compare to the original?

    Yes yes I know, I could Google it or watch a YouTube video. But no, I want honest opinions from other people on what is, in my opinion, one of the last bastions of the old school Internet, where you'd get real opinions from real people.

    I loved the original, but never really played multiplayer - mostly because as a young'un I had no money, so I pirated it, but also because I just loved the campaign as well as experimenting with stuff that was never going to work as a multiplayer strategy.

    Do you guys feel it's worth the 30something euros it costs on Steam? That's not a lot of money, but more importantly, games take time to play and I have very little of it these days. And once I buy a game, I feel committed to play it.

    What part of your life could be improved with software?

    I think many of us have noticed the trend that modern tech just... Doesn't make things better. There's little to be excited about, because anything even remotely innovative is going to be filled with tracking, ads, etc.

    Let's say you had a bored software engineer or 2 at your disposal and the goal was to improve something you do often, by creating an application or website that isn't owned and enshittified by a megacorp looking to extract maximum short term value - what would your project be? Is it something you'd be willing to pay for, maybe with a free tier available?

    The reason I'm asking is that I'm a software engineer and in the current hard-ass market, while I'm lucky enough to have a stable job, I know that experience alone isn't cutting it anymore in the recruitment process. You need to be able to show side projects too. Plus I have an unemployed software engineer friend who also has no interesting projects to show. So if we make any money out of it, that's awesome. If we don't, it's just something for our github accounts. Probably the latter.

    PS: Yes, I know this is not a tech community - I want ideas from regular, non-techy people too.

    PPS: This doesn't have to be something in your personal life, it could also be something that would help you at work if you had it.

    How do you stop making excuses?

    I'm sure many of you are familiar with the issue of making excuses for everything. I don't just mean excusing your unfinished chores by saying "I have ADHD", I mean excuses and fabrications in general - at work, you might say you're nearly finished with a project, but really you're halfway done at best, at home you might say you couldn't start the dishwasher because of how angry your pregnant wife was at you for choosing the wrong program on the washing machine, so you were scared to start the dishwasher - fully ignoring the fact that you were supposed to start the dishwasher BEFORE even being confronted about the washing machine. The last one is a stupid example, but it happened an hour ago and it's a pattern I hate about myself.

    If you've had a similar issue and identified it, what has helped you improve yourself? I may never be perfect to the point I'll get everything done that I need to, but I'd like to at least stop making stupid excuses that just bring up fights that could've been avoided.

    How to set up Podman with NVIDIA GPU acceleration and macvlan networking on Gentoo

    Gentoo with GPU-enabled Podman and MACVLAN

    cross-posted from: https://lemm.ee/post/2871450

    > Getting GPU acceleration working is a common task for those of us running Plex or Jellyfin. There is not much documentation for getting the NVIDIA container stack to work with Podman, even less on Gentoo, plus there have been a lot of changes to NVIDIA's container toolkit lately. > > I have been fighting with Podman for a while now and just recently got it working 1:1 with my Docker setup. Gentoo may not be the most popular or easy to use distro but I documented it in case some poor soul runs across it searching the web. > > Feel free to poke holes in it or leave feedback.

    How long have you been using Gentoo? Linux in general?

    And why do you prefer it over other distros?

    Welcome to a new unofficial Gentoo Linux community

    There was already a Gentoo community on Lemmy, however it hasn't had any activity in 2 years and since Lemmy's popularity has exploded in recent days, I figured it might be time for a new one with active moderation.

    Anyone reading this likely already knows what Gentoo is, but on the off-chance that someone completely unfamiliar with Gentoo clicks on this thread, here's a quick primer. Gentoo Linux is essentially a meta-distribution. You're given a package manager (Portage) that builds your packages from source, and some useful command line utilities. Other than that, you get your choice of everything - systemd or OpenRC? X11 or Wayland? Gnome, KDE or some other desktop manager? Or none at all? All up to you. Now of course, Arch provides you the same freedom of choice, but Gentoo's party trick is the local compilation - you can have the compiler optimize everything for your particular CPU's instruction set, or just leave out features you don't need in some programs.

    Swedbank: Uusarenduste broneeringute arv on tippajast 12 korda väiksem

    Paistab, et EURIBORi tõus ja kõrged kinnisvarahinnad on turuga 1-0 teinud. Isiklikult loodan, et nüüd tuleb mõningat hinnalangust - hinnad on juba naeruväärselt kõrgeks läinud Eesti palgataseme kohta. Arvatavasti hakkavad ka välja võetud teise samba rahad inimestel otsa saama, need olid suure tõenäosusega suures ostuhulluses ja hinnatõusus tähtsal kohal.

    Keskerakonna fraktsioon tegi ettepaneku algatada peaministri umbusaldamine

    Paistab, et Eestis hakkab jälle poliitiliselt huvitavaks minema. Isiklikult ma ei usu, et nad hääled kokku saavad ja ma ei kujuta ette kes uueks peaministriks saaks, aga kõik on võimalik.
