I've had a few trans boyfriends, and I was still attracted to them when they took their binders off ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Also, there's nothing preventing them from stopping hormones if they start to grow bigger than they are comfortable with.

Generally you can get the emotional effects at a lower dose than would cause *extensive* breast growth. They could adjust dosages accordingly.

I'm in Aus and our transfers are usually instant. However if you're transferring a couple hundred bucks or more, and you haven't made a transfer before to a person, it will hold it for a day. I think to give the customer time to call and say the transfer was fraudulent.

I don't think it generally does them for person to business transfers, just person to person. But yeah it's how most people pay their rent, whereas cheques still seem to be common in the States for rent.

If it makes you feel any better, same username but different instance, so you didn't get any of the UI (web or app) flags to show you they were OP. I woulda totally made the same mistake.

it's mostly just internet lingo.

Spend more time around people under 25, while they're around other people who are also under that age. I hear it a lot.

Edit: To be clear, I'm not even under 25. Just spend a lot of time with people who are. Makes you feel old when younger folks 'code-switch' and use different language choices with you...

Netris: An open-source cloud gaming platform (GeForce NOW alternative) that can be self-hosted, integrates your Steam game library.

@princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Okay, so full disclosure, I haven't used Netris at all yet, but I have used Sunshine/Moonlight extensively.

Moonlight is an app that's compatible with the Nvidia Gamestream protocol. You can stream directly from Geforce Experience to Moonlight, but Nvidia have deprecated it. Thankfully, an open source implementation of the Gamestream server exists called Sunshine, that is fully compatible with Moonlight (I don't know how much of this you already know but other people will read it too). However, due to limitations in the design by Nvidia, the Gamestream protocol is a 1:1 connection. You get the display out from your PC and Geforce/Sunshine handles launching the app. So if you want a single card to handle two different gamers at once, you have to split it and create VMs, then install Sunshine individually to each one. These resource partitions are often also static.

Netris on the other hand is based off of GeForce Now. Nvidia based it off of Gamestream, insofar as the connection between client device and server. But in terms of the software Nvidia runs on their servers, it's designed to handle dynamic scaling of hardware to accomodate multiple clients. It handles getting however many 720p or 1080p or 4K streams out of a specific card, and can often split them unevenly when needed. As well it handles syncing of cloud saves and the creation and destruction of VMs. So to me it seems Netris is the full package needed for sticking a 3080 in a server and having 4-5 users all be able to utilise the one card to game concurrently.

This will hopefully grow to become an excellent choice for smaller-time cloud providers to compete with Nvidia. And self-hosting it with a beefy CPU setup and SSD storage so it can handle multiple gamers at once. However, if you just want to stream a single PC for a single gamer (or even two seats using a VM running on your desktop) then Sunshine & Moonlight are going to be the better choice.

princessnorah , (edited )
@princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

In my experiences, Sunshine/Moonlight are a little bit more performant. But what's nicer about them is they are far more configurable, at the disadvantage of being less ready to go out of the box.

Edit: By this I mean you can do things like run bat/bash scripts on connect as well as disconnect. You can also launch straight into games themselves rather than need to connect to big picture mode first.

Not picking up on it at all either. It all looks too close to "on model". It looks like SM64 to me, and created using the game itself or rendered with assets from it. That game has been thoroughly broken wide open these days.

princessnorah ,
@princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Yeah. It was pretty funny to me because downdetector.com (run by the speedtest.net folks) had 4 times the error reports submitted for DDG than Bing. Bing has a bigger market share, so I think it's purely down to DDG users being more technically-minded.

I'm sorry but this is an incredibly western take on religion. And this is coming from someone raised as a Catholic. Hinduism, Buddhism and Sikhism all generally teach a tolerance for other's beliefs, and rarely use tools like indoctrination. They make up about 1.5 Billion practitioners worldwide, so they aren't a rounding error either.

When I was a homeless trans woman (that's white fwiw), I would go to Gurdwara once a week for Langar (communal meal). I was always treated with kindness, dignity and acceptance. The only thing that was asked of me is that I use one of the (provided) scarves to loosely cover my hair. Considering Sikh men wear Turbans though, asking that of me didn't seem at all like it was rooted in deep-seated misogynistic beliefs. No one was attempting to convert me either.

It is against Sikh beliefs to allow anyone to go hungry, or to punish a "crime" committed because of hunger (eg. shoplifting food).

You just cannot compare that to the widespread bloody harm that christianity has wreaked on the world.

Edit: And I guess expecting me to adhere to the expectations of women that attend Gurdwara, was an act of acceptance in and of itself.

princessnorah ,

I don't get it, are you saying that Europeans venerate christianity while Americans do not? Or that Europeans recognise other religion's differences that make them dissimilar from christianity?

Yeah and this puritanical bullshit sends us all tumbling down a slippery slope until it's offensive to teach children anatomy words like penis and vagina. Hmm, and one wonders why practicing christian families have a higher instance of unreported CSA 🤔

With Invidious, it would have to block every single accessible instance for that to work. You can proxy the video through the instance to avoid censorship.

I think it entirely depends on your use case and hardware. I have a rack server, I need the extra power relatively frequently, as well as the 16x 2.5" bays and the 4 NICs. A rack server is a fairly power efficient package to get all those features in. However, it means that I am limited to discrete graphics, as Xeons don't have Intel QSV. There's also no monitor connected, and no 3D rendering happening, so the card is gonna idle at >5W and probably only use 20-30W while transcoding. Compared to a system that's idling at ~250W that's nothing.

You really should not install those from the distro repositories. They are far less up-to-date. This is the official documentation for adding the Docker repository to a Debian system, there's one for Ubuntu as well. You can just copy and paste the entire code block from step 1. Afterwards you can just use apt to install it, but you want to use this command to make sure you get everything you need:

sudo apt install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin

Installing it this way will mean you need to use the docker compose command, not docker-compose which is deprecated.

Guess what? Neither is matrix/element.

Why is replacement for home device controls so complicated?

I recently learned about Home Assistant here on Lemmy. It looks like a replacement for Google Home, etc. However, it requires an entire hardware installation. Proprietary products just use a simple app to manage and control devices, so can someone explain why a pretty robust dedicated device is necessary as a replacement? The...

princessnorah ,
@princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Wifi smart devices can have that sort of completely local control, not just zigbee. LIFX devices use local control if you don't connect them to the cloud. However, you're then limited in lots of ways, such as you can't then use a smart switch from a different manufacturer to control the lights. Home Assistant takes over the job of Google/Apple Home, which allows different manufacturer's devices to all work together harmoniously. Those services also provide things like automations, turning the lights on when your smartphone arrives within a geofence for example. HA can do even better because those automations will work across Android as well as iOS. It also maintains the advantage of just one app to control your entire home.

As well, as far hardware, I think you're misunderstanding a bit. Nabu Casa, the org that controls the open-source HA project, sells a couple of pre-built devices that run home assistant already. They're designed as turn-key solutions for people with less technical know-how, and provide a bunch of expansibility so people don't waste money needing to upgrade. The proceeds from those go back into supporting the projects costs. But you can go out and buy a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W (512mb RAM) for $15 and it'll happily run the kind of basic setup you're after. But you will almost immediately run into it's limitations if you try to do anything more complicated.

My HA server is running on an x86 VM with 2c/4t and 8gb of RAM to itself. Have a full music server running on it serving ~6 devices around the house though. Edit: 6 fixed devices. It can also be cast to a bunch of places from mobile devices. My music collection is in FLAC so it's transcoding to lossy on the fly where needed.

If you go to the Meshtastic website, the Beta of the software is listed as Stable, with the Alpha branch considered the testing version: https://meshtastic.org/downloads/

princessnorah ,
@princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

It entirely depends, but I don't think "Stable" is necessarily synonymous with "Release" versions. You can have a "stable" version where it functions correctly and there's no critical bugs that crash the program.

If you’re on a different instance than 196 and you can see downvotes on a post, those are literally only from other accounts on your instance! When they get sent to Blahaj they get dropped from the database entirely, then when other instances ask for an updated tally, Blahaj just replies zero :D

Your local instance will treat it’s own downvote count as valid despite the 0 reply, hence only seeing local downvotes.

princessnorah ,
@princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Trans people on reddit would often get downvoted to oblivion for seemingly no reason. It happened to me on occasion, with comments that were otherwise benign, non-controversial and at least tangentially on-topic. Like fair enough if they stayed at 1 but these would be at -5 or lower. And always on posts in default/major subreddits too. This stuff was done systematically to silence trans users by having their comments hidden from low vote total. Because actually posting hateful comments would just get reported and removed in those large spaces, and this goes undetected.

Now imagine a trans Instance like Blahaj, dealing with the potential of a new instance showing up just to downvote members, and that happening, over and over. No comments, just downvotes. That's why Blahaj has them disabled.

Hahaha yeah tell that to every other country that has Google, Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit and every other American social media company serving it's citizens emotionally charged content. Facebook was even implicated in inciting a genocide. The US isn't any better than the CCP here. Though it very much falls into capitalist rather than state control, the end result isn't much different.

Hey, did you know that Facebook is partially* responsible for a more recent genocide? So, considering TikTok's ties to the Chinese government, which is also known to commit genocides, I'm gonna go ahead and say this is probably a good thing.

Edit: changed because Facebook just incited it, people are responsible for their own actions.

Have you like, talked, to a teenager or early 20 year old at all during the last three years? Either you don't understand the huge cultural impact tiktok has had for that age group, or you think every single person that age is a "vertical video crazy".

Five quick presses of the lock button does this too, but beware as I think the default behaviour also starts a 3 second countdown to calling emergency services.

princessnorah ,
@princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Yeah I just tested it and you’re right it’s a way faster way to get to power off. Personally prefer the five lock presses as it requires way less dexterity in your pocket. I’ve just disabled the auto-call feature.

princessnorah ,

There’s a setting to disable the call, I just did it that long back I wasn’t sure if that’s still the default.

They already beat you to this. Look at the difference between the closest and second closest rungs. One is much squatter than the other.
