  • Rant on technology

  • For something that I think an app or service could actually solve, I wish there was an online database of PC hardware where people could submit hardware compatibility reports for various OS's as well as workarounds or solutions to get things working.

    Something that would be a cross between PCpartpicker and protondb in terms of functionality. For example, if you're buying a new PC you could go to this hypothetical site, list out the hardware your considering (or if it's a prebuilt pick that), and get a list of user reports for compatibility with various Linux distros, BSD distros, and Windows versions, alongside suggestions for how to get things working. Or conversely, pick an OS and filter your hardware options by that.

  • Suppositories for rectal use. Powdered for nasal use.

    Don't know about urethral, vaginal, or ear canal.

  • Banana

    Jump

  • You have to eat approximately 10 bananas for rdv of potassium.

    rdv for potassium is 4500mg. A banana contains approximately 420-550mg of potassium.

    While 70 bananas is probably not going to kill you, ld50 for potassium is 2500mg/kg, that much potassium can exacerbate some heart problems.

  • That is correct. Neutron stars, white dwarfs, and stellar mass black holes (possibly intermediate mass as well) are all stellar remnants, ie star corpses.

  • What's your favorite joke that doesn't translate to English very well?

    Jump

  • It also is Germany (and France, Malaysia, and Singapore). At least according to Wikipedia.

    It's possible Wikipedia is relying on outdated info though.

    Which kind of alcohol gives you the worst hangover?

    Jump

  • Tequila, in basically any quantity, regardless of total amount of alcohol consumed, will give me a horrific hangover. As will anything that contains agave, regardless of alcohol content. I'm pretty sure I'm allergic, but I haven't gotten that medically verified.

    Other than that I don't really get hangovers. I'm sure that will change as I get older, but I'm in my early thirties and it hasn't yet...

  • What's your "I switched to Linux because..." Story?

    Jump

  • I had been using linux in some capacity (dual-boot, alternate computer, homelab, etc.) for close to twenty years, but there was always some functionality (mostly gaming) that held me back from switching fully. Then something like two or three years ago Proton/Wine finally got to where basically everything I wanted to run was able to run with no more effort on my part than doing the same thing under Windows. At that time I had been dual-booting Windows and Fedora for a little over a year and Windows/Manjaro for about a year prior to that and hadn't had to boot into windows for almost six months. So, I formatted the Windows drive and haven't looked back.

    And that beans were therefore toxic and related to death.

  • What would stop you from switching to a flip phone (or dumbphone) in 2025?

    Jump

  • Really only a handful of things:

    1. navigation while traveling - don't need it much, if at all at home, but I travel often enough for work that losing that capability would be painful.
    2. MFA - authenticator apps are the most convenient way to do MFA. SMS/email are terrible options for this and should only be used if there is absolutely no other option.
    3. Access to the internet while away from home, both while traveling and while out and about
    4. Music playback in the car
    5. Communication - most of my friends don't use SMS/voice to talk, instead preferring Discord or Signal

    Basically everything else I do on my phone could be done from a more proper computer with minimal inconvenience.

  • The minimum is about 80 Jupiter Masses. Smaller than that and you can't start fusing.

    Maximum size is harder to answer. It's determined by the Eddington Limit. Which describes the luminosity at which radiation pressure is enough to overcome gravity for a certain mass.

    It's thought that the maximum mass of a star is somewhere around 150 solar masses, but there's some evidence to contradict this, as we've seen a handful of very old stars with masses or luminosities higher than they should be.

  • YouTube Is Hiding Videos From You

    Jump

  • I wish they'd hide more from me, specifically shorts and the "you may be interested in <sports thing/news thing/current event>". It seems like no matter how many times I click not interested they keep coming back up. And I can't hide shorts on AppleTV without going to the website and then they just pop back up every 30 days.
