  • Crypto got everything it wanted. Now it's sinking

    Jump

  • flawed premise, spurious observations, bullshit conclusions. that crap has waaay too much real-world exposure, and sunken cost fallacy won't let it wither into oblivion.

    like, you can't make someone who bought a $20 rice cooker concede it's a bullshit appliance, let alone swaths of morons that sank billions of real world money into it.

  • Cheaper MacBook powered by iPhone chip coming in 2026, per new report

    Jump

  • they're gonna make a killing if this is truly in the $600 range, which is well inside their capabilities and profit margins. even just dumping it at non-US markets would make everyone and their uncle switch over.

    linux coulda had that shot but the fragmentation of the options, the toxic fanbase, and shortsightedness of practically every player makes this super-improbable.

  • Cheaper MacBook powered by iPhone chip coming in 2026, per new report

    Jump

  • that's not a thing,

    what is a thing is you involuntarily becoming part of apple's covert peer-to-peer network of unknown security, breadth, or function, that works even when your device is supposedly off and that you can't opt out of or disable.

  • The Framework/Omarchy thing.

    Jump

  • all the fascist bullshit aside, this is a project from a dude that was a decades long apple fanboy and discovered linux like yesterday has zero clue on how to do things well because he's a Maverick Trailblazer and what do the little people know this is the way and whatnot so I guess yeah we is back at the fascist thing and yeah stay away.

  • Show HN: In a single HTML file, an app to encourage my children to invest

    Jump

  • omg, you BUILT it!1!!

    this is so stupid, on so many levels, I can't believe I'm even bothering to type this up. HN is truly on another planet.

  • Internal domain and reverse proxy

    Jump

  • Imma be the problemXY guy here - ditch the https part. without it, you don't gotta deal with certs, signing, shit that's outside your LAN, etc. it's your LAN, do you really need that level of security? who's gonna sniff packets and shit on your LAN?

    now all you need is pihole where you set up your hostnames (jellyfin.lan, nextcloud.lan, etc.) and nginx proxy that maps e.g. jellyfin.lan to 192.168.0.123:8096. both of them run plenty fine in docker.

  • can't recommend it enough, saner defaults, way smoother, mucho easier to work with than postmarketOS. wish I hadn't bricked my 6T, apparently can't resurrect it now without windows which I ain't got...

  • Linux Will Work For You. Time to Dump Windows 10. And Don't Bother with Windows 11

  • that clown? pass.

  • Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold explodes during JerryRigEverything's durability test

    Jump

  • that's the bald guy that uses knives to poke and carve shit on tech stuff? blocked that cretin (thanks freetube!). that ain't no durability test that's just plain arrogance, look at me being rich and burning cash bahaha... can't stand those fucks

  • GrapheneOS is finally ready to break free from Pixels and it may never look back

    Jump

  • I mean good for them for finally pulling their head outta their ass but this is again for rich people only. y'all who don't got no bricks of cash to spend on new & shiny slabs of glass - get fucked as usual.

  • Last-minute /boot boost for Fedora 43

    Jump

  • I do a custom install with systemd-boot where i have one 2 GB EFI partition that's mounted at /boot; used to be at /efi but it bothered me I can't tab-complete /etc. I've been wanting to give UKI a go but can't get around to it.

  • Self-Hosting Email Like It's 1984

    Jump

  • any way to get a free domain? I know of afraid.org, but those are subdomains and usually don't play well with gmail and friends.

  • 10k Pushups and How I Got into the Best Shape of My Adult Life

    Jump

  • I fucked up my shoulder doing pushups this spring. waiting for it to heal but it still hurts.

    looked at a buncha youtube "heal thyself" crap (of course, skipping and blocking every chirobullshitter) but no progress thus far. no idea if it's something transient or if it's there for good, got no access to medical aid.

    takeaway - listen to your body. the moment there's discomfort, quit immediately, none of that "power through it you pussy". or if you're 20, go for it, I guess.

  • How can I optimize my jellyfin, specifically transcoding and the CPU usage involved? I'm running it off a mini pc so resources are everything

    Jump

  • I am asking the dude doing the transcoding why he's doing it. I am not waging a crusade against all dudes doing transcodings.

    to answer your question, no, I don't, all media I got is 1080p and all my devices can display it.

  • How can I optimize my jellyfin, specifically transcoding and the CPU usage involved? I'm running it off a mini pc so resources are everything

    Jump

  • not knowledgeable about them things but normal movies and shows with multiple audio streams and subtitles play just fine with directplay, selecting them from the client works fine, etc.

    the only reasons I know of for transcoding would be if you have ancient clients that can't play e.g HEVC or something, or if you're on shitty broadband and it ain't feasible to stream 4K to a phone.

  • How can I optimize my jellyfin, specifically transcoding and the CPU usage involved? I'm running it off a mini pc so resources are everything

    Jump

  • why are you transcoding at all? it's the first thing I turn off on jellyfin (and previously plex) installs. negligible cpu usage on both server and client when directplaying content.

  • Turning an 800MHz G4 iMac into a Linux Terminal | Adélie Linux, Debian, FreeBSD & OSX Attempts

    Jump

  • very cool.

    was looking for something similar, to repurpose a Macbook Pro 17 from 2006; 32-bit EFI and Radeon X1600, plently of issues running a semi-modern distro, but maybe as an X11 terminal for my headless server... but I just start thinking about it and give up, needs way too much stuff done.

  • I Made a Mechanical Laptop

    Jump

  • dicking around with designing a complex USB hub when you have cheap stuff in the $10 region that can easily be shucked outta its shell and used is overkill.

    the stuff with the antennas being stuck to the alu chassis sounds off to me, but I don't know enough to be sure. first off, I doubt that just sticking the antennas to the shell makes the shell work as one. second, the alu enclosure should limt the radiation from the antennas, no?

    but major props to the author, I don't care that he'll potentially monetize such a cool project. what I'd much rather see would be using discarded tech, instead of spending gazillions on everything new and custom made.

    like, for the longest time I wanted to stick a modern-ish board from a T14 or sumsuch in the shell of an old pre-unibody macbook. tons of room in there and a buncha stuff is USB (webcam, keyboard, touchpad) thus easily reused.

  • Wayland breaks the tools I use to make a living

    Jump

  • I have the deepest sympathy for people with disabilities and I can't begin to imagine what life's like for folks who ain't got what I take for granted.

    having said that, the reality is there is no lusciously funded corporation or collective doing development with paid focus groups and well paid Q&A teams working hard and dilligent with extensive (and expensive) testing so that all "i"s are dotted, "t"s are crossed, etc. etc. the meager funds, if there are any, are better spent on infra and dev efforts.

    therefore, changes have to be forced on users in order to test and fix em in vivo and advance the platform and it's def a "build a plane while flying it" type of deal. there's immense pushback for every new tech forced on users - systemd, pipewire, wayland, etc. - ignoring the reality of the landscape. yes, full feature parity is absent, but it will never be achieved without this premise.

    a way around it is to not be on a bleeding-edge distro, like Fedora and friends; what the author dreads ("waylands is coming!") I'm running since Fedora 35 (we're on 42 atm).

    nobody is forcing you off bookworm and xfce and whatever, and you can rock that for the next decade if you choose so, without any significant issues.
