It’s always rational at a personal level. Everyone thinks they’re doing the right thing for some combination of themselves, their friends and their allies.


It’s not for when things are going well. It’s for when their backs are against the wall. They are very heavily incentivtized to fight to the last no matter the cost.


Unpopular opinion: We should offer all dictators and their friends a safe retirement package.
Cornered dictators are dangerous. They will always keep escalating because the alternative isn’t just their neck on the block, it’s all of their friends and family too.


OP’s purpose was video security, not doorbells. People pushing the button instead of knocking was an unintentional consequence.
Your 70s doorbell is not helpful.


The boot drive filling up is REALLY annoying because on modern systems there’s no need for it to even BE a dedicated partition.
Even with encryption and BTRFS, boot can live in your root partiotion just fine. Only EFI needs a partition and that never fills up.
Distros need to change this default!


Just in case any Linux users see this: (and for my own convenience as I’ve just learned how to do it!)
sudo mount -t tmpfs -o size=10G tmpfs /wherever/blah/
It only uses as much RAM as the files actually consume, the size option is just an upper limit. Set Steam to record to the same directory. Add NoSwap to the -o (options) if you want to prevent any disk use.
Works great.


Oo that’s actually a neat idea for those of us with plenty of ram in our gaming PCs. Thanks.


I love the trivia that there’s traces of uranium in coal which go up with the smoke - coal is worse than nuclear in terms of radiological pollution.


Supermarket rapid chargers tend to be 50kW while the ones on motorways are jup to 400kW - 8 times as fast. Just something to know if thinking about long journeys.


The only settings I ever change are Linux Native to Proton 9 because it’s just SO much better for games more than 5 minutes old.


We haven’t gone anywhere near being Trump land yet. And the Trump party (Reform) just got wrecked in an election yesterday.
USB-C is awesome though. I carry one charger amd dongle for HDMI and ethernet. It serves my many devices including Steam Deck, phone and laptop.
There’s a limit to how many physical buttons before it goes the other way. Hyundai are already at ‘enough’ and the Kias I’ve looked at have way too many.
The problem is not touchscreens. It’s the awful implementation. I have a Tesla(never again, ugh) and a Hyundai Ioniq5.
The Tesla has a fantastic touchscreen that integrates well with the car. Also no display behind the wheel. I’m tall, I can’t see it.
Hyundai the rear seat warmers are buttons. My passengers are happy. The driver’s warmer is buried in a touch screen menu. Which would be fine but the shitty screen takes a minute to boot up which means I can’t adjust my seat until I’ve already driven off and now it’s dangerous and fiddly.
In summary: I don’t mind if it’s touchscreen or not, it has to be fast and reactive.


How does it compare to DDG? I’ve never even heard of these two.
When I first used Jellyfin, the official Docker image didn’t have AMD video acceleration working out of the box and the LinuxServer one did.
LinuxServer images often solve problems and work out of the box better than the official option.
I think I’m right in saying they have a standardised and reliable option for running as a none-root user too.


We hook our Steam Deck up to a 4k projector and it looks amazing. The built in upscaler from 800p to 4k is astonishingly good. Obviously not AS good as native but and many games are limited to 30fps but holy smokes it’s more than good enough.


Yep quite right, I was just clarifying because you said “low res. 720p or maybe 480p” - the Steam Deck is 800p native. Total agreement.
