I switched about a year ago. It's going great. The only problem with my computer was because my RAM broke, but that would've still happened on Windows.

What I hate is when I find a solution for some old post but it's locked because "you should just make a new question" well FUCK YOU BECAUSE SEARCH ENGINES GO THERE AND I HAVE THE ANSWER AND I WANT TO HELP PEOPLE! BUT FUCK ME I GUESS ๐Ÿ˜ญ

The one time I used that official forum I did my due diligence and laid out what I ended up doing to solve my problem as well as responding to the other person with a similar one. I am not DenverCoder9.

You marked your account as a bot but you look like a human user. Some users filter out bots so you may want to change it.

Flying Squid was memorable but has been gone for a while. My understanding was they moved to a different country and haven't posted since.

wait lol, if she thinks her address is so valuable for strangers to steal, wouldn't that make tossing it somewhere other than home more risky? Not that there's much thought going into this routine.

I'm not trying to "gay you" but you could easily be biromantic but heterosexual, ya know? As in romantically attracted to people of all genders but only sexually attracted to the opposite gender.

Somewhat same, but for me I'm just trying to cook more at home. Not necessarily save money. (Though it's still nice.) Have you compared the costs? It could be that even if you throw out half it's still cheaper, ya know? Or maybe closer to breaking even than you realize.

The point is that both are the same as "save money" when they should be giving more specific advice. Two pieces of good actionable advice have been given by you. "Just save money" is not a useful tip for "how to save money". What you're saying is useful.

Maybe people will shut the fuck up about Photoshop not working on Linux now. (Not saying it's not a valid complaint, I just get tired of hearing it.)

Choosing to stop eating out is a way to reduce your standard of living.

Also this is pretty stupid to say because it basically just means spend less money. Yeah, no shit.

 

Today I haven't been able to login through Jerboa. It worked fine in the past. I downloaded Voyager to try and it failed as well. Weirdly the browser works perfectly fine. Any idea what might be happening? Thanks, friends!

 

I noticed a repository's .gitattributes entry for *.csv used text eol=crlf so I investigated and found this.

 

It only shows Drive (for each account), Bug Reports (?) and System Traces (?). Of course, I just restarted my phone to see if it fixed it. It did, but as soon as I try a second time it's gone again.

I mention Discord but I'm pretty sure this file picker screen is not directly associated with Discord.

Update: This is affecting a friend of mine as well in the same way from the same time. Haven't determined if it's just Discord yet.

 

Sorry, this is a little embarrassing lol. But my notification bar with the clock and battery don't show in Jerboa any more. Is this some full screen option in the app I've accidentally turned on or something in Android itself I've enabled for this app?

Thanks!

 

I just never thought I'd hear GPL software get such a huge shout-out. It was literally the second thing said during the acceptance speech for Flow (best animated picture).

Also, Anora is a story involving sex workers and during two different acceptance speeches (best original screenplay and best picture) they thanks sex workers for sharing their stories with them.

Wasn't really sure where else to post this. I just thought it was pretty cool. There's always a bit of pandering in speeches (and it's not necessarily always bad), but libre software and sex workers were two things I wouldn't have guessed would get mentions. It was exciting!

 

There are times I'd like to get a measurement of a room's layout. I know there are some apps that do this, but a lot are just full of premium pay wall stuff.

I'm just trying to get the dimensions of my office (it is an odd shape) so I can okay around with potential furniture layouts.

 

I'm interested in setting up something to act as a file server. Think of it as "the cloud" but local. I've never built (or bought) something specifically for this, so it's a big foreign to me.

I think really all I would want is something that can store a lot of TB of data easily. It doesn't need to be fast. It doesn't need to be able to stream media anywhere. It really only needs to be able to act as an SFTP server, maybe run sync thing (new to that), and maybe act as a NAS. My gut feeling is something like 10+ TB might be a good amount to start. Something that won't fill up quick and that I can put big things in (like a full system image of another computer) without concern.

What would be a good way to go about this? Building a computer like normal but getting very cheap stuff? Getting something pre built or used (like surplus office stuff)? I'm just not really sure where to begin.

 

When talking about inflation there are two main types. I usually call them treasury and CPI inflation, but I don't necessarily know if those are widely used terms. By treasury inflation I refer to the total supply of money, like the inverse of federal interest rates basically. By CPI inflation I mean the change of the consumer price index over time. Both are useful, but depending on the context one may be more useful than the other.

 
 

For me it isn't working. Single player works fine. If Crossplay is ON I can see other games on the world map, but time out when joining the lobby. When I disable Crossplay I see none at all. (Yes, this is the opposite of what you might guess based on other issues people have mentioned where disabling Crossplay fixed it.)

Update: I switched to Proton 9 from the Cachy version and it works!

Powering my GPU and rails (programming.dev)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by JackbyDev@programming.dev to c/buildapc@lemmy.world
 

This will likely have some technical inaccuracies because I've never dealt with something this specific with PSUs. I have two slots for PCIe. I have a 3070 ti which has two 8 pin connectors. Each of this PSU's cords for the PCIe slots (minus that mysterious 600W one which I think is not for anything I'm doing due to the size) goes from the 12 pin on the PSU to two separate 8 pin connectors (well, 6 with the optional 2).

My gut feeling is to just plug a single cord from the PCIe slots I to the two slots on my GPU. But I'm wondering about what would happen if I plugged two cords into the PCIe slots separately and then put a single connector into the GPU from each. Would that be better/worse/the same/catastrophic?

I'm wondering if it has something to do with dividing the current among the different rails in the PSU or something? It has a little jumper to enable "overclocking" which does something like combining the rails, but I'd rather not fool with that. And it also might be totally unrelated to the other question. The jumper is, of course, just out of view of the pic, but it's also not really relevant.

Edit: I went with one and it's working fine.

 

Sorry for the horrible picture. It's hard enough to see with my eyes, let alone get a pic.
