  • Who in their right mind would suggest a fucking titan for Plex

    I used a GTX 1660 and that was able to handle pretty much anything I threw at it, especially after unlocking the limit with the driver patch.

    I'd also take a look at the Arc A380. I'm not 100% sure on current compatibility, but on paper that card would be a monster.

  • Removal of piracy communities
  • Because of the way Lemmy works, all content from federated instances is mirrored (minus images). So technically, all the piracy content also lives on lemmy.world, which makes them liable for it.

  • Pornhub Sues Texas Over Age Verification Law
  • The whole point is that the token itself doesn't have any personal info attached to it, only a yes/no and expiry time.

    I'll even one up my original suggestion - it uses standard public/private key encryption, where the government issues a simple json token with a yes/no Boolean and a TTL. The public key that can decrypt the tokens is public. Pornhub then decrypts the token and verifies the boolean and expiry date, all without talking to the government at all.

  • When riders in the Tour De France used to stop in cafes and just loot the place.
  • On one hand, I'm happy the TDF is a much more organized, serious event now to really celebrate the extremes endurance athletes push themselves to.

    On the other hand, shit like this is just kinda fucking charming, and it feels like it just doesn't happen anymore. Not the act of "looting" cafes in particular, but seeing professional athletes cycling with bottles of beer and wine, eating whatever's available to them on the route.

    On a sidenote, they translated the units from metric to imperial in the subtitles lol

  • Pornhub Sues Texas Over Age Verification Law
  • The only implementation I would support is one where the asking website doesn't know your ID, and the verifying website doesn't know what you're trying to visit. Essentially just asking for a one-time use token that verified your age, and providing that token to the website you're trying to visit.

    Edit for a bit more detail: User authenticates to ID website, which provides them a token with age verification (true/false) and a short (10 minute?) TTL. This token is encrypted by the ID website. User then provides this token to the asking website (eg: pornhub). Pornhub then sends the token back to the ID website to decrypt it. All pornhub knows about you is whether or not you're of age, and the verifying website never knows what the token is for.

  • Lemmy World SysOp
  • Threw my hat in the ring, I'm a senior devops engineer.

    Don't have any Lemmy experience though. I have no desire to self host it, but I wouldn't mind being part of the team to maintain a large instance.

  • Baldur's Gate 3 is now a best-selling pre-order on PS5
  • It does!

    But the difficulty is also very fair. I'm going through tactician (the hardest difficulty) on my first playthrough, and enemies don't have inflated health or anything - they just play smarter. There's also no grinding in the game.

  • Hit a bump on my road bike, now it's creaking pretty badly. Video included.

    2023 Felt VR 60.

    I hit a bump while riding and now the front of my bike creaks. If I apply pressure on my handlebars, I can even hear it without riding. It sounds like the noise is coming from between the handlebars, so I'm thinking maybe it's the headset? But I'm not sure.

    Here's a video of the sound: https://youtube.com/watch?v=7mbQVzI_Jj4?feature=share

    Cycling noob here - help me understand tires and wheels so I can swap mine around

    I recently got my first road/endurance bike, a Felt VR60. According to the specs, the wheels it came with are: Devox WheelRDS.A3, Tubeless ready, 6-hole, 12x100/12x142 mm. Default tires it came with are Vittoria Zaffira V tires.

    I'm thinking of doing some light gravel riding with this bike, so was considering some 30mm tires to swap between depending on the activity I want to do. However, I have no idea what I should be looking for when it comes to buying new tires/tubes.

    1. What factors do I need to worry about when buying new tires? I assume the wheel size matters, right?

    2. Can I reuse my existing tubes, or do I need new ones?

    3. Searching for 30mm gravel tires, I mostly found tubeless options. Is there a reason for that?

    4. Anything else I should know before buying and swapping tires?

    Any help is greatly appreciated here :)
