Why the state of the industry is shit, in a nutshell.

That’s not some sort of natural aging process; that’s you failing to do maintenance. Clean out the dust and/or replace the thermal paste.
66·6 days agoThat’s why they’re all-in on authoritarianism.
This ruling is not likely to have immediate consequences for the fediverse, since the GDPR is not enforced much.
We’re discussing this on a Lemmy instance hosted in Europe.
Enshittification means something more specific than just making a thing worse. It means making it worse in a way designed to exploit or take advantage of the user by stealing their personal information or something like that.
This is more like “value engineering” and “planned obsolescence.”
The McDonald’s in Rome (specifically, the one near the Spanish Steps) is pretty darn nice, NGL. I got a gelato there once, which is better than anything I ever got at an American McDonalds.
(Ironically for the grandparent commenter’s point, I visited two McDonald’s on that trip specifically to see what might be different about them in other countries. The other one was in the Amsterdam airport during my layover, whereupon I got a McKrocket. It was suitably weird.)
I’m also a software engineer and am still interested in building my own PCs, but I like the GabeCube anyway because you literally cannot build a PC that small, not even with mini-ITX.
I kinda feel like I’d want a Strix Halo (Ryzen AI MAX+ 395) in that form factor even more, though.

The dream of truly Griswoldian Christmas lights slips ever further from our grasp. Sure, we can blind the neighbors more easily than ever, but what’s the fun of that if you can’t take down the whole power grid along with it? 😞
Once I started going to Dragon Con (Labor Day weekend), September also started feeling like Halloween season to me.
(It probably doesn’t help that more folks in my neighborhood put up decorations for Halloween than they do for Christmas, and start pretty early with them.)
For that reason, my Halloween decorations came down promptly on Nov 1. Maybe I should start decorating for Thanksgiving…
I can only assume it would be something like !moi_evv if it existed.
Right, that’s what I said: if Z in the top image were pointing the opposite direction (i.e. if it followed the right hand rule), it would be the same as the bottom image. Rotation is irrelevant; only handedness matters.
Right handed means that when you curl the fingers on your right hand from +X towards +Y, your thumb points towards +Z.
Z pointing in the other direction is the same as the bottom image, just rotated.
NUCs (specifically Intel 8th?-gen or later) are pretty much ideal for serving Jellyfin because the Intel integrated graphics can do video transcoding and the software is actually not very demanding otherwise, so the low-power CPUs are fine.
If you were buying hardware specifically for Jellyfin (i.e. didn’t want to cobble together something used), I’d suggest an N100 or N150-based NAS mini-PC like this: https://www.bee-link.com/products/beelink-me-mini-n150

(Whoops, I got him mixed up with Brad Pitt, apparently. I guess you could say he was a figment of my imagination.)
