Seems like what you’re describing is that people are really into politics and porn. Are we really that surprised?

And yes, new ones keep popping up because people don’t like the mod, or think they can do better, only for that effort to fizzle out in a week. Then someone else comes along.

I also ride the waves of All/Global and hate having to block those weird “thigh anime” communities. But the alternative is an eco chamber.

I know you’re just kvetching but hang in there, one day you’ll go into Subbed and be surprised how vibrant it is (if you still keep subbing to new communities).

Or make your own community and ignore that instead. 😅

Good for a play through or two.

Yeah I had no context of that. I thought the only time Pic was captured and tortured was by the Borg. Did the Cap just keep getting into shiz like this all through his career?

For real? What comes after four?

Hey OneSidedLover.

Honesty is brutal. It can make or break lifelong commitments.

There’s a lot in your life that’s complicated. But one thing is not - that you care for Grace.

It doesn’t matter if it’s a teenage romance, or one after years of marriage and ups and downs, like what you’re describing… if you’re honest, you can absolutely win the heart you’re after or completely lose them, even if it happens over time due to a series of awkward situations.

So here’s a possibly terrible way of going about it -

Be honest with Grace. Don’t be honest that you are in love with her. Just be honest that you might like women. That you might even detransition for the right one. Tell her that part of the truth. Do NOT try to do a coy “there’s someone who I love” with it being obvious who that someone might be.

If and only if Grace says to you, “you know, I kinda like women too”, you might have an in. If she says “I support you no matter what you do”, good luck with your deep friendship.

It’s never as easy as that. But that’s the advice I have for you today.

Hope this helps ail that aching heart.

Is this an accurate translation of the text into English?

Thanks!

Hey team,

Years ago, SO gifted me an Alienware Aurora R7.

It has an Intel I7-8700 and Nvidia GTX 1080 (8GB VRAM), 16 GB of DDR 4 RAM. (what else is relevant to this question?)

My question to you is basically this -

Given that I'm not gaming with it anymore, I want to use it for only two things -

  1. Plex Server
  2. Running random local LLM stuff like Kotaemon (https://github.com/Cinnamon/kotaemon)

Let's say I have $1000 to throw at a GPU and I'd like to get 16 GB VRAM (or 24 if it's possible). I want to install it myself rather than take it into a shop.

What's a GPU I can buy that will fit,

  1. within my budget?
  2. within the chassis?
  3. with the CPU and motherboard without issues?
  4. with the needs I've detailed (namely Plex transcoding, and running ML models)?

I am an absolute noob when it comes to figuring out what hardware to buy (hey, we got us an Alienware sucker here).

So lemmings, help me out! I'd rather not ask ChatGPT.

 

I love PiHole. I've used it in the past and it was powerful! I also use an OpenVPN/Wireguard based VPN.

So is there a service that combines the two features? Lets me import adblock lists and also VPN configurations?

Preferably something that runs in a docker container that I can throw upon portainer and running within minutes!

Thanks!

 

So, I installed Palia on Steam Deck. First, it failed to start till I chose to run it with Proton Experimental.

Then, the problem I’m running into - I want to log into my account. But every time I select the email/username field and then bring up the Steam virtual keyboard, the form field loses focus. That means I’m typing and nothing is getting typed.

How do I fix this? Is the only option to use an external physical keyboard?

 
 

I just saw the ASUS handheld in the wild. It was running some FPS game pretty well.

Can anyone help me compare the two - Steam Deck OLED vs comparable ASUS version? Which do you prefer? Pros/cons?

I’m almost decided to buy the Deck OLED, but seeing that in the wild made me pause. It looks nice.

 

Hey folks, I wanna gift a steam deck to myself. The main games I’ll (infrequently) play on there are CS:Go and age of empires 2 HD, both of which I own and never get a chance to play on a regular PC.

I suppose I want the OLED one. Is it ok to go for the 64 GB version or should I go for the higher storage tier? It has expandable storage yeah? Or is that not reliable or fast enough?

Also, what’s going on with the pricing? It’s just obviously better to buy direct. Why are people trying to sell it on Amazon? I get people trying to sell on eBay and Craigslist but Amazon? What’s the deal there?

 
 
 

I read a comment on here some time ago where the person said they were using cloudflared to expose some of their self-hosted stuff to the Internet so they can access it remotely.

I am currently using it to expose my RSS feed reader, and it works out fine. I also like the simplicity of Cloudflare's other offerings.

Any thoughts on why cloudflared is not a good idea? What alternatives would you suggest? How easy/difficult are they to setup?

 

Hey folks!

I have a WD easystore 14 TB External HDD connected to my Plex server (running on windows 11).

I am using about 4 TB of it, but not for anything truly important. It’s storing plex media mostly.

I’d like to use it for storing memories. But how do I trust it?

What are good tools for me to keep a check on the drive so that I can hopefully get enough warning when it starts losing sectors?

I have some tool installed based on recommendations online and I started a “surface test” of the disk and it said it’ll take a measly 300 hours. Not ideal.
