Reminds me of a story about magic

Revan343 ,

That is madness. I love it

If you use Messages in iCloud, deleting a message or conversation on your Mac deletes it from all your devices where Messages in iCloud is on.

Technically that doesn't say that deleting them from your phone will delete it from the backup on your Mac

SMB, FTP, or NFS for NAS + server?

I am running a NAS that needs to connect to a server (the NAS isn't powerful enough). I also need to connect my NAS to a Windows, Mac, and Linux device (Linux being the most important, then Mac, then Windows). Out of SMB, FTP, and NFS, which one would be the best, quickest, and most secure for my situation? My NAS supports...

Revan343 ,

SMB for the windows clients, possibly NFS as well for the others. *nix will talk with SMB fine, but NFS may be faster. Windows' NFS support is shit though.

Running both daemons won't really add much overhead

Revan343 ,

I've found SMB to more frequently have connection issues with my Linux clients, and often be slower. It'll work, but if you're mainly supporting Linux clients, might as well set up NFS if you like toying with things anyways

Revan343 ,

Not that most tech will actually work after you fill it with birdshot and let it fall from the sky, but hey, at least it's fun

Revan343 ,

Flac for storage, turn up the compression level. Transcode to an appropriate format when copying or streaming to a device

Revan343 ,

Are you in the US?

Revan343 ,

I'm not sure then. Maybe Google is just rolling it out in waves, and hasn't gotten to you yet?

Translation layers aren't porting

Tobacco tends to contain high levels of Polonium-210, which is radioactive and decays into lead, so.

The problem with cigarettes mostly isn't additives, it's the above, and the fact that smoke in general is bad for you, and contains all sorts of nasty chemicals

"Middle class" was a (very successful) psyops campaign to get people to stop thinking in terms of 'working class' vs 'owning class'

Revan343 ,

That was more for the sake of other commenters/readers, I figured you knew :P

Revan343 ,

And 'the middle' is iron, in case anyone is wondering.

Revan343 ,

I think he has a kid

She'd be about 16, so probably fairly independent by now, but not entirely so.

But he also has actual books to write, in addition to blog articles. I'd imagine he's pretty busy

Revan343 ,

In Warhammer 40K, the Imperium of Man are awful, but they're the 'good guys' because they're human, any every other species is even more awful and would wipe humanity out given the chance

Revan343 ,

My Facebook is full of anticapitalist memes, but then that's the kind of page I subscribe to

Revan343 ,

Well that sounds cool

Revan343 ,

They're going to ask for your name so as to confirm they've gotten a hold of the right person

Revan343 ,

I suggest Mint for new users (and lazy old users like me). All of the simplicity of Ubuntu, without Canonical's shit

Revan343 , (edited )

In a desktop (which is what you want for gaming anyways) why not? Easy enough to slot in a new drive and dual boot from there, no need to muck about with partitions like with a single-drive laptop.

If it doesn't work out, oh well, go back to Windows. But maybe Linux is finally there, and you'll find you don't need to go back

Revan343 ,

Mint is for people who generally don't want to do weird shit, which is most new users. If you do, it's not any harder than doing it on Ubuntu or Debian.

If you want in-depth tinkering, go with Arch. If you want newer packages than a Debian base but not necessarily much tinkering, go with Tumbleweed. You're just going to have to learn a different package manager for each.

I personally am most comfortable in an environment that has apt, and I don't change much on my systems, so Mint is nice. My servers are straight Debian

Revan343 ,

Well fuckin thank you for that concise explanation, because I've been planning to build a NAS and Jellyfin box, and have been wondering

Cell phone radiation is negligible

Wonder how someone class conscious like this ended up in the US military.

Decent chance that having been in the military is why they're so class conscious

Revan343 ,

Russia isn't socialist anymore. It's a fascist capitalist hellscape, which is why Republicans like it

Revan343 ,

just because fewer and fewer people own things doesn't mean it isn't a direct result of Capitalization of the economy

In fact that's the natural progression of a Capitalist economy

How to remotely reboot a Linux host if SSH fails to connect?

Edit2: Thanks all for your responses! I have checked the logs, https://lemmy.nz/comment/6192604, and based on that removed tracker-miner-fs as it's a search/index tool which I don't need. No idea why it took over all memory. I'll also get a WiFi Smartplug as a kill switch. Hopefully that solves it....

What can you get to within a 15-minute walk of your house?

A recent YouGov survey asked Americans what they think they should be able to get to within a 15-minute walk of their house.

Of these choices, I can currently walk to all of them from my apartment, aside from a university (no biggie, I'm not currently studying, although there is a Tafe within walking distance), a hospital, and a sports arena.

How many can you get to with a 15 minute walk from your house?

@fuck_cars

Revan343 ,

Bars are also one that you probably do want within walking distance, for reasons that should be obvious

God you losers have a persecution complex

Revan343 ,

We're running out of concrete sand, glass sand doesn't have to be as picky because you're melting it

Revan343 ,

Except it's not really a currency is it? Nobody actually uses this stuff for buying goods and services

Except Montero

There's nothing to do in Nebraska except drink and maintain Linux drivers

I'm fond of 'xcrete' instead of 'tweet' or 'xeet'

Well the starlink ones aren't going to be space trash-- they eventually fall out of orbit and burn up. Hopefully these go with the same plan

Revan343 ,

There is that. The other issue which I ignored but is significant is the emissions from the rocket launches getting the satellites up there in the first place

Revan343 ,

Sounds like you guys just have better self-checkouts than we do

Revan343 ,

Eh. The weight sensors don't seem to be doing much to prevent stealing, companies are still complaining about it; they just make the things a pain in the ass to use

I like that, can we get more of those?
