on I use Arch btw · c/linuxmemes · 7 pts · 1y

It gets real messy, lol. I tried to have GPT guide me through figuring out a Node and nvm error in my Arch WSL and it made nightmare spaghetti out of my npm prefix.

It eventually got stuck in a loop of trying to make me do the same two things over and over again and expected different results each time.

I'll vouch for Koboldcpp. I use the CUDA version currently and it has a lot of what you'd need to get the settings that work for you. Just remember to save what works best as a .kcpps, or else you'll be putting it in manually every time you boot it up (though saving doesn't work on Linux afaik, and its a pain that it doesn't).

I think it's even funnier that we hand out labels right at the ticket stand to lemmy and turn around to say that labeling people based on norms is bad.

Someone needs to make a comic, you can't even make this shit up. Sign up for your next stake burning at a server near you.

I 100% do. I think mp3 is a good compromise of sound and space. It's also the format I'm used to. Just like how people swear by physical record. If I'm at a get together and hear mp3 quality, I'm at home.

That being said, I have my absolute favorites in flac for my iPod 5th gen video I rebuilt. The 5th gen's dac, Wolfson, is a solid little dac for the day and age. Got Rockbox loaded up and I'm ace, but I've hard saved all the Apple firmware for every model in case the time came to sell them. Old iPods could be an investment someday and I own every gen in multiples.

I second this. A bare-min install of a majority of distros is going to do you more favors than looking for a distro that is made to be minimal. Honestly, minimal is going to rely more on your DE/WM than distro.

I also agree that Arch is going to require more learning curve if you don't have any experience with it, but that's up to you if you want to put time into it. If you do, I'd recommend vanilla Arch or if you want a GUI installer with a lot of DE/WM options then I'd opt for EndeavourOS.

I concur with Void, but that also may have a learning curve. I like Void, but I haven't tried it myself. I hear nothing but good about Fedora and openSUSE these days, too. I played with NixOS and I really like it, but you will spend months messing with Nixlang before you can really do anything with it (but its really fun to play with).

Yeah, I canceled Prime a few years back and it hasn't hurt me at all. You really get nothing in return, except maybe Prime Day deals and even then you can find the deals elsewhere. I've taken to cutting out the middleman and ordering through the product's actual website to better support them.

Mullvad has been €5 since 2009. Comes to a little over $6. $12 is just highway robbery. You won't regret the switch.

Mullvad has a lot of perks. Like I mentioned, no deals for buying yearly. Get it month by month for the same price. No account connections. You get an ID number and that's it. That ID is your password and username. Pay with nearly anything. Crypto, card, money services, even mail in physical cash.

There's a lot to love about it, and it hands down has some of the fastest tunnels I've used. Nord was always half my internet speed no matter what I connected to. You don't even need Google Play if you want to use it on android. It's open source, so grab it right on F-Droid. Easily supports any OS. If you don't want a GUI, there's a CLI alternative, too.

on VLC rules · c/onehundredninetysix · 4 pts · 1y

This. I love VLC, but it let me down today when it couldn't open an m3u8 stream that MPV opened with ease. No config meddling needed.

Yeah, but for every dictator there's countless intelligent revolutionaries. Especially when it comes to the internet.

They're really shooting themselves in the foot trying to deny us/force overcharge the very thing they use to make us complacent in the first place: media.

If they were smart they'd ignore this bill. It would just bring attention to their attempt to essentially seize the internet and for what? For us just to get around it again anyway?

Not to mention if they enforce US VPNs to conform it'll just result in more currency leaving the country. No wonder this fucking floundering economy is all our fault.

Governing is like holding a marble to the table with your thumb. The more you press down, the more likely that marble is to shoot out and break your shit.

If I can remember, the angels took the forms of extremely beautiful men. The Sodomites attempted anal intercourse with them. Hence the term "sodomy".

Best source. I usually make mine hard boiled so I can take them on the go or make egg salad. Little salt, little pepper, all delicious protein.
