sounds reasonable… i’ll just go tell large parts of australia where it’s a workplace health and safety issue to be out of AC for more than 15min during the day that they should do their bit for climate change and suck it up… only a few people will die
perhaps for that particular group… though i had a friend whose old af macbook air had stopped updating literally years ago, and he still used it because it still worked… but then apps slowly stopped working
i installed linux on it, and he was actually really keen to give linux itself a go, and it worked great for him!
i gave him an old macbook a little while after that, and he’s back on macos now, but he said he’d switch back in a heartbeat if there were problems (slowness, update compatibility, etc)
i guess the thing being he’s not really technical enough to care about the OS other than outcomes, but also was actually interested in linux itself to learn for the sake of it… he’s a lab tech, and vibe codes data manipulation tools, so not a lot of IT-related skills, but always interested in learning
PLA is pretty brittle AFAIK. these need to be squeezed, so i’m not sure it’d do… perhaps they could add something to it? but whether that additive would also be compostable… it’d certainly make it non-recyclable
the UN is a place for diplomacy at all costs: nothing more. any action that comes from the UN is simply a secondary outcome of facilitating talk between countries
it’s not meant to have teeth - it’s meant to facilitate agreement, and avoid misunderstanding
there are lots of different covers for license plates which block photography only, and allow humans to see the plate. i’m not sure how all of them work
for the tricks that mess up AI, yes
but i believe this comment was talking about things like IR blocking covers and such
and they’re probably highly illegal pretty much everywhere because they stop speed and red light cameras working and that’s exactly their marketed purposes
this is their patch for the whole disk data loss debacle
if you want it to be permanent you’ll probably want to mount via /etc/fstab (this is the list of things that are mounted every boot, so it’ll persist after a reboot)
that said, i’d guess it’ll be in /mnt
looks like jellyfin is running as the user “oriol”. does that sound right?
assuming you have your files mounted somewhere locally that jellyfin can access, their file permissions will need to allow access to that user
you should be able to find the user jellyfin is running as with:
ps aux | grep jellyfin
the first column is the user name or ID
you’re looking for a line something like this
biru 13576 0.1 9.6 281378280 3170688 ? Ssl Jul09 85:05 /usr/bin/jellyfin --ffmpeg=/usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/ffmpeg
you might be able to try a live version of a distro to see how your hardware functions before taking the plunge
no matter who gets the territory, ukraine has won in the long term
or rather, everyone loses i guess
amazing! thanks for the clarification
that’s correct. part of the reason mac doesn’t have the same gaming community as linux with proton does afaik
apple silicon has specific changes to amd64, and some extra instructions to help with x86 translation afaik (1 of the main things i think is how memory is laid out is different somehow? so every memory access needs extra clock cycles to accomplish in standard arm64)
but in general, rosetta2 is incredible: very little performance loss… i thiiink it’s something like 2-10%, which is made up for by the cheaper cores
from what i understand, graphics is more of a problem… metal just isn’t well supported - i think the standard thing is you have to do direct x <-> dxvk <-> vulkan <-> moltenvk <-> metal, which is a huge overhead and is far from perfect in its translations
yes. the comment was
Well one thing’s for sure, data centers are going to be insanely cheap in the near future.
which i think broadly agrees with your thinking… the hardware will be sold, but the building and utilities will remain… thus, data centres will be cheap to buy and repurpose as AI companies try and offload them… might possibly see some cheap AF colo or dedicated options in the future
yes, but we’re talking about hardware requirements… data centres aren’t really designed for the software that runs in them; they’re designed for the hardware… a “GPU optimised” data centre just has a lot more power running to each cabinet, and has to have a lot larger cooling capacity in a small area
the hardware inside the data centre can be swapped out: it’s not like GPUs are built into the foundation of the building
that’s actually okay… the only thing that’s different about GPU workloads is that they’ve very energy dense… as CPUs and other hardware progress, their energy requirements get more dense… 10 years in the future, today’s GPU optimised datacentres will be perfect for standard workloads
… unless they’re centrally liquid cooling the whole DC, which i’ve heard discussed but is a very new concept with a lot of unknowns
of course you’re right! we should just shut down some of the largest mines in the world
i foresee no consequences from this
(related note: south australia where one of the largest underground mines in the world is, largely gets its power from renewables)
people should probably move from canada and most of the north of the USA too: far too cold up there during winter
