Not without risking your ISP cutting your Internet off. You need a VPN to mitigate that risk.

That's true, but it's also free.

You won't get your Internet cut off because some copyright holder sends your ISP a complaint.

I'm a little confused why you view this as an issue because in the alternative, manually installing certificates instead of using Let's Encrypt's tool, you still wouldn't own the root certificate.

froh42 has the standard left ball. Once we get an accurate measurement we'll be able to compare other balls to it and go from there.

You don't own the root certificate even when you aren't using Let's Encrypt, unless you self sign or want to become a certificate authority. Am I missing something? Is there some controversy about Let's Encrypt I'm unaware of?

They aren't. I'm sure if it went to court that lawyers would find a way to convince a jury otherwise, but we all know that's bullshit. Booster packs are gambling.

Why expose yourself to legal risk by torrenting media (which involves uploading which is distributing) when you can find sites that stream it for you? Just go to Yandex and look up "blah stream" and you'll find tons of sites streaming whatever you want.

I do this because I've tried to watch movies with online friends but every major streaming service I tried won't let me share my screen and stream. They all break somehow. I'm not sure if it's intentional or what, but it doesn't matter.

I know multiple people into kinks/fetish/BDSM who are asexual. Not all pleasure from these things are sexual for everyone.

Ohh I see, I'll edit

Sure, but the user knowing how to fix something or not wasn't the problem or related to anything you said. It's that you said they seem pointless to you and went on to describe their exact point of existence.

To be very clear, I'm not trying to make an argument for or against Arch derivatives, I just thought it was funny that you said they're pointless because you can customize them when people use them specifically because they don't want to bother with doing those customizations themselves.

I would consider using Endeavor OS because I just want something that can do basic work once it's installed (I use CachyOS which is also an Arch derivative, but it modifies core packages which is different from what you're talking about). Manjaro has separate criticisms, I'm not saying it's "good." I'm just saying it shouldn't be surprising that someone wants to use Arch and wants customization on a bleeding edge, rolling release, but wants a system that isn't quite so minimal once they're done installing.

(I should try to install Arch to a VM or something and use this archinstall script. Because if it works as well as everyone says then my opinion might be different.)

I may not have been clear, I just meant that "Discord servers" are not "servers" in the way the word is actually used (meaning a computer) and that Matrix instances actually are real "servers". But yeah, spaces are like Discord servers.

 

I was curious if this was a Jerboa issue or just the instance, but I get the same problem when I use the web version. When I try to go to the second page of posts (by clicking next or scrolling down) it seems to hang forever. Is this affecting others or just me?

 

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.
