How is your experience with Fedora as a server?
  • Depends on what you're using it for. Fedora's release ver upgrades are fairly seamless. Just a big dnf update really.

    Meanwhile I have a bunch of servers stuck on CentOS 7 that are going to need to be completely rebuilt by next summer. I'm also limited by them because the pdf generator I use requires a version of libpango that was released in 2019 and EL7 is stuck on the 2018 version.

    I switched from Rocky to Fedora Server because I was sick of running into compatibility issues with dependencies that exist in the Fedora repo and not EL.

    Specifically postgres. One of the projects requires postgis and gdal, which are in the Fedora community repo, but I have to use the official postgres repo on Rocky and the people that maintain those repos are literally incompetent. They have an automated script that generates all of the packages and they can't even be bothered to double check that the packages are built against the correct version of postgres, so your install will fail because a PG14 package is looking for a dependency that only exists in the PG11, PG12, and PG15 repo.

  • What's a sci-fi or fantasy book or series that you want to see adapted as a movie/television series?
  • It won't work as live action, and Sanderson is probably a little cagey after working on Amazon's WoT. He would need to have absolute control over the writing.

    Wax and Wayne in the style of Fullmetal Alchemist would be amazing though. Comedic but also serious.

  • ...
  • I pay $10/month for copilot because it saves me a lot more than $10 in time not spent typing out boilerplate or searching through garbage documentation.

    It frees up my mind to focus on the actual software architecture instead of the quirks of the language.

  • Could we use AI to update 4:3 media to 16:9?
  • I want to see AI Voyager episodes like people are doing for the Simpsons and family guy. Basic 3d models interacting with each other using generated dialog.

    Just Janeway and crew wandering the Delta quadrant violating the prime directive in the name of coffee.

  • Linux vs Windows tested in 10 games - Linux 17% faster on Average
  • It's getting hard to do just between AMD and Nvidia on Windows.

    I'm old enough to remember the days when reviewers showed macro shots of the wires in half life 2 to test AA between different cards.

    Does anyone even test that enabling "Ultra" settings results in the same configuration across vendors/generations? I'm pretty sure LTT Labs found cases where it wasn't.

  • Anon on credit scores
  • I don't know if it works differently in the US but the best way to build your credit score is to not take on debt.

    Keeping your credit utilization low and not missing any payments is the key. It's an indication of how likely you are to meet the payments.

    If you max your credit cards out and just pay the minimum amount, carrying thousands of dollars of debt and as a result can't get a mortgage or a car loan because your credit score is shit then the system is working as expected.

  • Google Chrome's new "IP Protection" will hide users' IP addresses
  • At least it's only the off site resources. As someone who works with credit card processing online and has to deal with BIN attacks those proxy IPs would get banned pretty quickly both by us and the credit card processor. We already have issues with people using free proxies.

  • Holubtsi (Ukrainian Cabbage Rolls)
  • No these look accurate. My mom adds extra tomato juice and cooks them low and slow until the cabbage melts in your mouth and the edges of the pan turn black.

    The big issue I have with most cabbage rolls is they put too much emphasis on the filling. The filling doesn't matter, the spices don't matter. It's all about the cabbage. Towards the end of the batch I usually end up scooping out the filling and just eating the cabbage leaves and leftover tomato.

  • Holubtsi (Ukrainian Cabbage Rolls)
  • Many of these recipes come from Ukrainian immigrants in North America. The size of the cabbage rolls also vary from region to region.

    My mother has a similar recipe to this that was passed down from my great grandmother, that she got from her Ukrainian neighbors in Saskatchewan in the 1920s.

    I had a coworker who was second generation Ukrainian-Canadian who has almost the exact same recipe.

    These types of cabbage rolls are hard to find because nobody wants to poach them in tomato juice for 6 hours, and the result is tough chewy cabbage. Can't buy them, can't find them in any restaurant.

  • Good luck in court!
  • I find it fascinating. You could play bingo with those people's profiles.

    The squares would be something like:

    • fuck Trudeau
    • Jordan Peterson
    • WEF conspiracies
    • fuck Danielle Smith
    • retweets Pollievere
    • lines in AB (free space)
  • The Diablo 4 Steam release is struggling, with mixed reviews and less than 2,500 players
  • I found a polearm that happened to have decent base damage, and nothing else. Sold it for $20 on the RMAH and ended up using that to buy the expansion when I finally came back.

    Can't stand the way it works now either though. It's basically one of those idle games now. You just play the same shit no matter what difficulty. The only difference is the number of zeros on the damage numbersnas you gradually gear up to whatever the season armor is.

    That's what keeps people coming back to D2R. You get a new piece of gear and suddenly you can run areas that you couldn't before. You have that carrot of maybe one day getting an enigma or eBotD, or you'll get a good drop for another class and now you're levelling up an alt so they can use that gear.

  • The Diablo 4 Steam release is struggling, with mixed reviews and less than 2,500 players
  • I'm content to wait a few years to see if it gets any better. I bought D3 on launch and didn't come back until a year after the expansion.

    With the amount of microtransactions in the game it's only a matter of time before it goes on sale for like $15, or goes free to play. I'll get it then.

  • Top Apple analyst says MacBook demand has fallen 'significantly'
  • It's between Apple and framework for me for my next laptop. The question is do I want a laptop that I can infinitely repair and upgrade, or do I want a laptop that actually has battery life when I pull it out of my bag because it has a functioning sleep mode. Thanks Intel. Maybe make sure your processors are actually power efficient before axing S3 sleep.

  • Moved from Pixel 5 to iPhone 15 Pro - my reasons/experiences…
  • My wife switched from iPhone to Android and has the opposite problem. She never dismisses her notifications, so her notification bar is constantly full and she'll have 30+ notifications in the tray.

    My OCD couldn't handle that. If I get a message that I don't want to respond to I leave it there because I know that eventually the OCD will overcome the social anxiety and I'll have to respond to it.

  • New phone... What are the chances of this surviving until 2030?
  • 8 years would be the Nexus 6P. I booted mine up last year and aside from the faulty SoC it's still a perfectly usable phone. Those dual front facing speakers are still great. Battery life is poor, but then it was poor to begin with.

    I think we've also plateaued in terms of features. A phone in 2030 will probably have a brighter screen and slightly better camera, but outside of synthetic benchmarks I doubt it's going to look or feel any different than the Pixel 8 will in day to day use.
