And I had subsequent comments, in this thread even, that narrowed the scopes of my statements to political articles about political candidates during an election cycle. Do I need to go quote them for you?

Cool, you can selectively quote me. Congrats.

[-] snekerpimp@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago

Nope, I have stated what I am saying, and do not believe I have been convoluted about it. Thank you for your opinion though.

I’m not playing whataboutism games. I am talking about in the context of a political article, during an election cycle, about the politicians involved.

Interestingly enough, in your comment, you do what I am being accused of, therefore eliminating the argumentative ground you stand on. If this is what you are about, we are done here.

Yes, we are fighting disinformation campaigns funded by foreign governments, we need true, unbiased, transparent, both sides compared/contrasted reporting as much as possible to fight it. Everyone needs to be reminded why we vote, at every election, not just the big ones, and this election is a shining example of why.

Those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it… telling only one side in a story is not an accurate representation of history.

It’s about information. Giving people information is never a waste of time, they can do what they want with it. Who am I or you to say what will sway a voter? Are all these articles and rich actors talking about Biden going to change anything? Again, it’s not on you or I what people do with the information. Unbiased information is all I’m asking for. Not this “you’re with us or against us” bullshit.

[-] snekerpimp@lemmy.world -1 points 2 days ago

Well, that’s not me, and that’s not my issue with this article. You should not pledge fealty to anyone, let alone a political candidate. But if you are going to write an article about a reason one candidate is unfit, you should contrast/compare the other candidates in that article as well, for good or bad.

[-] snekerpimp@lemmy.world -1 points 2 days ago

You’re right, my generalization of the news we read is unfair, this article is at fault. A long time ago, reading newspapers, an article about a political candidate would normally have info on both candidates, showing contrast or similarities. I do not read many articles like that anymore, in this polarizing, “your on my team or against me” world. Equal representation and reporting time of the politicians under scrutiny is all I’m looking for.

As for your last question of why Biden supporters sound like Trump, I have no idea what you are talking about.

[-] snekerpimp@lemmy.world -1 points 2 days ago

My whole point is the press is failing at being non-bias, otherwise they would mention all the atrocious things being said by the other guy that should be making people ask for him to step down. Our press is failing us, failing at reporting fairly and unbiasedly(if that’s even a word)

But we shouldn’t do anything to even try mitigating this, even if it is an outlier year, because then lines would go down, and think of the economy.

[-] snekerpimp@lemmy.world 15 points 5 days ago

I would think the sheer fact conservatives WROTE IT DOWN AND PUT IT ONLINE would be enough to solidify their intentions to people. But, I can’t imagine voting for a criminal or a rapist, so who knows what the truly brainwashed will do.

Definitely not VA. We have to kick the clowns out before we are lucky enough for that.

Just picked up an APC 48u server rack. There were no pictures of it in the post and I did not notice until I got it home and set up, that the rack rails have threaded holes instead of square cage nut holes. I can’t seem to determine the thread size and pitch, and have a thread gauge coming. Until then, does anyone know anything about this? The people I grabbed it from had used self tapping machine screws and drove them in with an impact wrench. Is this what APC had intended, or is there some $300 proprietary screw I have to buy from them?

Just picked up an APC 48u rack. The listing had no shots of it, and I didn’t notice till after I got it home and set up, the rack rails do not have square cage nut holes, but what appear to be threaded holes. I can not find a bolt or screw with the right size and thread pitch. It looks like it’s an M5 fine thread, but wanted to see if anyone had any info on this. Am I just supposed to get self tapping machine screws, like the previous owner did? Or is there some APC proprietary bolt that I’m working with here?

Running proxmox 8.0.3, spinning up new VM, noticed my netboot was SSLLOOWW. ran speedtest-cli in the host shell, was getting 4Mbits/s, ran on a VM on that same system, was getting 500-600 Mbits/s. I have NO clue what to make of this. Is this a bridge issue in proxmox? I don't think it's a DNS issue, everything else is working, business as usual, even still serving plex and arr on the same system. Any ideas to get me running in the right direction?

Edit: It's DNS. It's always DNS. Disabled AdGuard Home and magically speeds on the host were back. Confused, but have a direction at least.

Seeing as the only place I found this was on "the place that shall not be named" before the black out, I hope this question can help start the new repository of collective knowledge here in the Fediverse.

I have set up a separate instance or radarr to maintain copies of RiffTrax. The two main questions I have that I can not find answers for on trash's guide or elsewhere, is setting up a custom format that will pull files with "rifftrax" in the title. I found in trash's guide how to exclude with

      {
      "name": "RiffTrax",
      "implementation": "ReleaseGroupSpecification",
      "negate": false,
      "required": false,
      "fields": {
        "value": "^(Rifftrax)$"
      }

and I have been able to create a custom filter that helps when manually searching.

I have two questions:

  1. how to modify the above to help me?

  2. how do I use my current library on my main radarr instance to help the RiffTrax instance search and pull movies? If that is even possible.

Encouraged (lemmy.world)

I wanted to thank everyone that responded to my last post. Everyone gave good advice, and hearing that everyone hit a wall they had to just grind through helped a lot.

Took my sorceress and mixed things up. Didn’t focus on one element, and tried to match attributes in the skill tree instead of elements. Still have hydra as my main focus, but I rely very heavily on chain lighting and frost nova. I was actually able to finish act II.

Again, thank you all for the awesome words. You guys a super swell!

Discouraged (lemmy.world)

Diablo was the first game I ever bought for my perfoma Mac when I was a kid. I have played out each game since. I played the betas. I have reached a point where I do not know what to do.

I have not finished the campaign. In fact I haven’t even finished act III. Both my barbarian and sorceress have appeared to have reached a plateau at around level 35.

At around level 30, in world tier II, I started getting really terrible drops. Magic only, legendary that was worse that what I had. Finally around 35 for my sorceress and 37 with my barb, I got fed up with the terrible drops and just took the first positive change I found and went back out to see if this would yield better loot.

The first bear I meet I use all my health potions on. My attacks seem to take less health away. I finally make it to a dungeon. Can’t make it to the boss because I keep dying.

I figured I sold my sweet gear, let me just jump back to world tier I and grind till better loot falls. Bears still three hit me, and I still get crap loot.

I changed my skill load outs, made best use of the loot I got and continued to try and grind to get better loot. I still only got magic and crap legendary.

What am I supposed to do at this point? I can’t make it to a dungeon to fight a dungeon boss without having to TP back to replenish my potions a half dozen times. Can’t move the campaign forward, simple crowd of minions melt me in a second. Monsters don’t even drop health globes. Am I just supposed to start a new character and hope I don’t repeat this same mistake again? How are you supposed to recover from a mistake like that?

I know what I am doing is mostly outside use case, but I work with what I have. I recently acquired a reolink camera, RLC-822A. I have it up and running great with frigate, except for the viewing of recordings, which are h.265. Every computer in my house is either too old or runs Linux. Viewing recordings on my iphone works great, but was looking for a way to have a permanent viewer, almost like a kiosk.

Using a raspberry pi 4 8gb with Raspi OS I was able to get a version of chromium to stream the h.265 recordings. Works ok, the pi can run for about 18 hours before artifacts start to happen and I have to reboot.

I have a Dell tower with dual xeon silver 4114, 192gb of ram and a quadro p2000. I am passing through the p2000 to frigate on an Ubuntu VM. I want to use this VM and pass through p2000 to run the frigate kiosk. For some reason, even though the hardware supports it, I am unable to get h.265 streaming to work on this VM.

How is it that an ARM based SBC running a version of Debian can decode and play h.265 and an over powered VM with hardware that is known to support that codec can not? Is it an issue with passthrough and decoding? I have nvidia container toolkit, and the p2000 works great with frigate in a docker container. I can watch h.265 through vlc and other apps, but can not get chromium hardware acceleration to work. Any ideas?
