Never understood why this isn't on every distro and DE ever. I want DSL with wobbly windows damnit.

I can comfortably ride a motorcycle in February...granted I'm in Texas but even here it normally is quite cold around this time and instead we have 75° days.

I can't wait to move back wayyyyyy the fuck North.

Went through warranty replacement for a TV and was simply asked to write "void" and a big X on the warranty sticker. Even had the option to give the almost perfectly fine TV away (I did to someone who greatly benefited from it)

Typing this on a fold4 would just like to chime in that after a year of ownership the inner screen did fail seemingly for no reason. I was able to get this fixed but I just want to stress they do have some problems.

Partner has gone through 3 flip4 in the same amount of time though that phone is garbage.

I'm 99% sure it's 26,000lbs at least for a straight truck non combination.

Oh hey their return to office demand wasn't about productivity it was a soft layoff like everyone said wow.

I'll freely admit to skimming a bit but yes proxmox can run trunas inside of it. Proxmox is powerful but might be a little frustrating to learn at first. For example by default proxmox expects to use the boot drive for itself and it's not immediately clear how to change that to use that disk for other things.

The noctua dh-15 is overkill for that cpu btw unless you're doing an overclock which I wouldn't recommend for server use. What's your plans for the 1060? If using proxmox you'll want to get one of the "G" series AMD CPUs do that proxmox binds to the apu and then you should be able to do gpu passthrough on the 1060.

I have a proxbox with a R5 4600G even under extreme loads the stock cooler is fine. Honestly once prox is setup you don't need a GPU. The video output of proxmox is just a terminal (Debian) so as long as things are running normally you can do everything through the web interface even without the gpu. I do highly recommend a second GPU (either a G series CPU or a cheap GPU) if you want to try proxmox GPU passthrough. I've done it and can say it is extremely difficult to get working reliably with just a single GPU.

Depending on your transcoding needs you might not even need it for that.

Fortunately they still require electricity.

The matrix was built as a result of humans trying to take AI electricity by "striking the skies". so once we try to kill AI well get the matrix and I for one can't wait for slider Nokias to make a comeback.

ratman150 ,

I tried to watch the last matrix but it just isn't nearly as good as the trilogy.

Clearly the universe decided you needed to listen to Freebird lol

Elon Musk demands another huge payday from Tesla (www.cnn.com)

In a series of posts on X Monday night, Musk said that he would not want to grow Tesla to become a leader in artificial intelligence and robotics without a compensation plan that would give him ownership of around 25% of the company’s stock. That would be about double the roughly 13% stake he currently owns....

Here have the standard HR answer: sorry we don't have the budget due to outside factors, also we're doing layoffs in your department.

The tshirt says "monster fucker" so the person is saying "I'd fuck that" to which the biblically accurate angel is saying "ew" in reply to.

Jesus lotta "motorcycles are a deathtrap" in here.

Hi, I've been riding for 10 years on all different kinds of machines through many lengths of commute/fun. allow me to be abrupt motorcycles cost more than a Prius to own. The tires don't last as long, the maintenance is more frequent, obviously the gear you absolutely should be wearing is expensive but hey if none of that bothers you please continue to enjoy riding.

It's not very active but there's a motorcycle community here on lemmy, please join us ;)

This is very true, even newer bikes that have more modern emissions are still generally exempt from the same standards as any car.

That being said if you have a high traffic commute it would still be faster for you to use a bike as well as better for everyone else in traffic so pros and cons.

Fortnine has a video that touches on the emissions/trying to be green and riding a motorcycle. The fact is most bikes not made within the last 10 years (and some that are) are carbureted and have little if any emissions control. Sure that Yamaha vstar250 might get 80mpg but that has more to do with having a smaller engine than a lawnmower than it does any modern engineering.

I can haul about the same amount of groceries on my bike/partner's scoot as our car...which tbf is a fiat 500 but nonetheless I can easily get a weeks groceries on a bike.

Love the down votes lol, you may disagree with me but facts are facts.

ratman150 ,

It just isn't, I can quickly and easily park my bike in basically any spot. If I know I'm not buying a lot I'll just bring a backpack and put my groceries in there as I checkout and if not I probably brought the scooter which has the same trunk as a small car.

I don't have to fuss about in traffic, look for a spot, or try to turn my car around in my tiny neighborhood. (Not the fiat...I do own one of those oversized American cars that's literally 18.5 ft long because it was cheap)

But hey maybe I'm just dead wrong, give a bicycle a try. (If possible I recognize not many north American places are bicycle friendly) try getting some groceries on a bicycle. You might actually enjoy the benefits, yes it'll be tough the first time and likely even the fifth...but you might come to enjoy it.

They're very cool but the problem is aero. To build an ev-bike that's fast enough to be a motorcycle you run into a lot of drag. Ebikes that still go pretty fast but still technically are a bicycle fit this gap nicely.

Another issue is price though. To do my current commute via electric motorcycle id probably need to buy the HD Live Wire Del Mar, which if I remember correctly is about 17k. Do you know what else was 17k? My electric Fiat 500e which is what I generally use to do my commute. On the other end of the scale is pricing for ebikes which isn't that bad and does start around the 500-800 but can easily get into the tens of thousands of dollars for some very high end options.

While I see there's a lot of people here that disagree with me on motorcycles being just fine for commuting, it's important to recognize that not every task needs a car. Motorcycles are not the cleanest way to get around but they do overall have less impact. Sure you can off-road in a Cadillac Escalade, but how much will that tear the trail up compared to my 450lb klr650? You might be able to fit 6 months groceries in the back but you also need to park in the back to find a spot. Sure you can haul 8 people but how often is it just 1?

Finally, they're fun AF.

In a nutshell (eli5) swap is sorta "very slow ram" which is actually just a section of your hard drive /SSD/some other bizarre medium. It is generally used to temporarily store information that might be needed later but would waste valuable "fast ram" which is your actual ram sticks.

What's going on here is this user mounted Google drive in a way that the operating system can interact more directly with it, and it appears to have a set amount of space. Because we've mounted Google Drive we can tell our operating system to use it as swap....very very slow silly swap, but swap nonetheless.

So that's exactly what they did, they told the operating system to set aside X amount of Google Drive for swap, and when looking at the resource monitor we can see the "swap" appears as "more ram".

Hope that helps, please ask if I confused you :)

Oh sick this will be sweet.
