D&D's invisibility rules are goofy. At least in the (2014 edition, groan) you always get advantage of you're invisible and attacking someone. Even if they can see you. The invisibility condition is worded like "you get advantage on attacks"instead of "Since you're hidden, remember you get advantage on attacks".

Do you want me to talk about my sexual preferences?

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 3 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

If you believe the only reason to have sex is to reach an orgasm and that the only valuable contribution to it is being the one that does it, then sure, but there's so much more to it than that.

Now, I wanna be clear. I'm not telling you how to have sex. I'm not saying the way you want to have it is wrong. If you want to be the one doing it and no vibrators involved, there's nothing wrong with that. But acting like that's the only way to have sex? No, there are so many more.

Do you think a vibrator being involved and being a meaningful part of an orgasm are mutually exclusive? Hint: They're absolutely not.

"Alexa, I'm close!"

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 10 points 15 hours ago

You can be intimate with a vibrator.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 points 16 hours ago

Right? I get that it's "alarming" to users to see weird stuff, but just hide it under a little expandable thing.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 16 hours ago

How? I could've sworn it wasn't even a "real" file. I thought the file system just had special rules for interacting with that name.

Presumably running upgrade with the update flag does it all in one go.

I don't think all women are perfect (and never said such), but this post is 100% a fake screenshot that's misogynistic rage bait.

I think people get too defensive about security by obscurity not being security. It's still better for things to be obscure, it's just not sufficient. A hidden lock to open a door is marginally better than a lock on the door. A hidden button to open a door isn't secure though, of course.

But at the same time, I fully understand why it's stressed so much. People tend to make analogies in their mind to the physical world. The digital world is so different though. An example I use often is you can't jiggle every doorknob in the world to see if it's unlocked, but it's (relatively) easy to check every IPv4 address for an open port to some database with default credentials.

Yeah, I was doing sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

 

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 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months 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.
