what's your favorite hydration drink? bonus points if it's a drink mix
  • I made it last night, used half molasses half maple syrup. But the recipe I tried used lemon and I didn't like the resulting flavour. Also the ginger we had wasn't as fresh as I would have liked. I'll try it again using a more traditional recipe.

  • Grab the rom for whichever Texas Instruments calculator you like best and use one of the various TI8X emulators:

    Just google for the rom file you want. I just tried the TI92+ found here:

    Weird calculator, but one of the more common TI models should look just as nice

  • Never forget what they took from us...
  • Sometimes I'll get the trainer so I can chill and feel like a badass. I could "Git gud" or better yet ill take infinite ammo and no reload and relaxingly kill everything

  • Never forget what they took from us...
  • YouTube started recommending Outer Wilds videos, intermixed with my Minecraft: Create mod videos and I was very confused what mod it was

  • Any advice for a long-time Linux user, first-time Linux *desktop* user?
  • Yes yes, vim good, nano bad. And rather than have discourse on the matter I'll call you all fascists and claim you support genocide. Definitely an adult thing to do, good job you.

  • Katherine Knight: An Australian woman who, in 2000, murdered, skinned, dismembered and cooked her husband, and attempted to feed him to his adult sons
  • He told his coworkers and neighbor that if they didn't see him tomorrow he'd been murdered. So when he didn't show up for work they sent someone to check on him, the neighbour and the employee knocked on his window, then approached the front door and found blood so they called the police. The table had been set, for the kids. They never saw it.

  • Controversial law to surgically castrate child sex offenders in Louisiana could soon be reality
  • I have a genetic condition that severely limits testosterone production. Didn't find out until I was almost 40, my health hasn't been terrible. Mental health is a different story.

    I've spent the majority of my life "castrated" and it hasn't been all that bad, that being said I still had urges even with pretty much zero testosterone so I question whether it will do anything to prevent abuse.

  • Any advice for a long-time Linux user, first-time Linux *desktop* user?
  • Nothing, there is nothing wrong with nano. There are what I will call vim purists who think using anything but vim is sacrilege. I've been using nano, and it's predecessor Pico forever and while I can use vim if I need to, I don't hate myself enough to do so.

  • Mozilla Firefox Adds AI-Powered RTX Video
  • Nvidia, wayland issues aside is still the superior card 9/10 times. This isn't a gimmick to get people to buy Nvidia, most of us will buy it anyway. During my last purchase as I pondered over whether I should get an amd and move over to wayland or an Nvidia card that would allow me to locally generate images of whatever I wanted. It was a pretty easy decision, I'll stick to X11 and Nvidia until the end. Stuff like this is just a bonus

  • Not sure if antique or prehistoric
  • I read 2 articles on its creation and different animators were mentioned in each story. The only consensus I saw between the articles was that John Chadwick combined the baby model, animation and music together. The baby model was purchased to be used in 3DSMax, so they could have made it for Ally Mcbeal then sold the model

  • Not sure if antique or prehistoric
  • Interesting fact, this baby was everywhere because it came with 3D Studio Max. It was included as a demo model alongside a cartoony ogre and a velociraptor.

    The animation was also included to demo their Character Studio animation and motion capture capabilities.

  • Wayland usage has overtaken X11
  • Yea, half the conversion guides I read yesterday mentioned reinstalling grub, I don't dislike systemd boot personally but I just thought it was funny

  • Wayland usage has overtaken X11
  • Dunno, I used to run 3 monitors until I got an ultra wide, now I'm down to 2. Never had any issues getting the displays to work in either. It was mostly graphical glitches and screen tearing that drove me back to X11.

  • Wayland usage has overtaken X11
  • I thought Endeavour was just Arch with an installer. Conversion is as simple as swapping repos and removing the eos-hooks package apparently, and depending who you ask: cleansing systemd from your system.

  • Wayland usage has overtaken X11
  • I just switched to Endeavour from Manjaro when I upgraded my hardware, and every update changes the default kernel on the selection screen. I go in and edit the file to change the default from lts to the latest kernel, and the next update switches it right back. It's maddening, i could do Arch, and I've done it on other machines I just don't have the time for that level of customization. I already waste enough time tinkering.

  • Wayland usage has overtaken X11
  • He's only the second person I've seen to claim working dual monitor on wayland with Nvidia. All my attempts have lasted 5 mins max before something drove me back to X11.

  • Here is what 6 decommissioned servers looks like. My Jellyfin will be very happy
  • eWaste. We have a contract to give an outside company all our stuff. We degauss and shred hard drives and everything else does in a big bin that they pickup every month.

  • We have a hard drive degausser and shredder. Lucky bastard taking things home

  • Ripping Podcasts

    So lately I've been seeing shorts on YT about a D&D podcast that looks mildly interesting and I'm running out of good webnovels to listen to with TTS at work. So I thought I would give podcasts a shot...

    They have instream ads... And it's the same damn ad on repeat Not the same ad, that was a Conan podcast I listened to in the past, but still it's like 4 ads in a row. Is there a tool to download these podcasts and strip their ads? I just read that there's a way to download them via rss so that's what I'm going to try now. But manual ad removal might get tedious over a hundred episodes.

    I can't imagine with all the nerd centric podcasts that we wouldn't have automated a way to extract ads by this point.

    Edit: At this point, trying a number of things. yt-dlp seems to be the best way to do it. If the podcast is available on YouTube someone most likely has already submitted SponsorBlock segments for it. You can then use yt-dlp to download the episode or the whole playlist using this command: ```

    yt-dlp --sponsorblock-remove all --ignore-errors --format bestaudio --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 --audio-quality 192K --output "%(title)s.%(ext)s" --yes-playlist 'PLAYLIST URL'

    ``` You can even run it directly in Termux on your Android phone and skip sponsors on the go.
