One time a cricket was in the crack in the concrete just outside my sliding door and I could barely hear my game over the sound of this thing so I did what any completely normal mentally sane person would do and poured boiling water over the crack

I usually have a pack of gum and I deliberately start a pattern on how I take pieces out. Usually it's from left to right, emptying a full row before I move on to the next.

My test is to offer them gum and see where they pick from. Will they recognize a pattern and continue it? Or will they be oblivious?

Either way, it's not a measure of good or bad. It's just a fun lil test.

Oh fuck you're gonna make me play

If you're saying they're not complicated then... they are... they are... 🤷

TF = (what) the fuck

Sometimes people drop the "what" part

GMKtec sells solid mini x86 computers. I have one with an Intel N150, which can do hardware encoding with Intel QSV. https://www.amazon.com/GMKtec-mini-pc-computer-n150/dp/B0CH81C4K3

$137 rn on Amazon for 8gb/256gb N150

Not a woman but I watch Brad Mondo with my wife sometimes and it's entertaining. He does a lot of reaction videos about people messing up their own hair and goes over how to properly do it. He's worth checking out.

I have my update stuff put into a simple bash script that includes flatpak so that gets taken care of.

It still restarts and does the whole "Updating, please do not turn off your computer" screen. Does dnf take care of that all? Is it even necessary to restart?

Thanks, I'll check those out

You can buy twice as many drives, though.

Haha I just got my kids into castle crashers after looking through my library for 2+ player games.

Awesome that the devs are still doing stuff with it.

Honestly I'd recommend buying refurbished drives and using them in a RAID array so that you can easily replace one for cheap(ish) if it goes bad.

before anyone says "RAID is not a backup" yeah I know but you can't deny its capability to function as such. 3-2-1 always applies.

Set up an alert for when the drive you want goes on sale/in stock

Yeah it's a shame the path Garmin is going :(

Also: Garmin recently enshittified by simultaneously adding an AI slop component that works by taking all of your recorded fitness and location data and doing gods know what with it, as well as a paid subscription tier to their obligatory smartphone app -- the latter after explicitly promising for many years that they wouldn't. So not only is their hardware expensive (and their owners are now rightly pissed), they're also liars. I would not give them any money until they shape up, if I were you. Assuming they ever do...

Gadgetbridge works with most Garmin models. I have the Instinct 2 Solar and have never created a Garmin account or downloader the app.

Hell yes

I'll gladly help you out with that uhhh problem you're having

Very serious btw I'm local

If you just want an internal webUI with video playback, I absolutely love MeTube.

It uses yt-dlp as a backend and has a lot of configuration and supports a lot of sites.

Exposing this to the outside isn't a good idea because of the risk of DMCA or someone abusing your hard drive space
