Agreed, the only argument for oil immersion cooling is, AFAIK, better energy efficiency which is of course not a real consideration for high end consumer grade hardware. A previous iteration of our national compute cluster was oil immersion cooled but the tradeoffs in maintainability etc. were not even close to sensible so the next iteration went back to regular server racks. And the iteration after that needed the floor space and finally dialed in the end of oily door handles and eerily quiet but oppressively hot server rooms.

Could also be mineral oil wicking up the cable, there are the absolute madmen who opt for oil immersion cooling their rig

Arch user should be an aeropress: people can’t seem to shut the hell up about how great it supposedly is

It will be a cold day in hell when I consider using any software running on Someone Else’s Computers ™ for journalling or note taking. Even less so when there are a number of FOSS, self-hostable, highly configurable and feature-rich solutions out there (I personally am partial to Trilium).

How is it a “trap” to spend an hour or two configuring a tool to your exact needs, which you will then probably be using literally every day for years.

Literally who gives a shit about Twitter at this point.

why linux will never be a viable solution on the desktop

Has been pretty viable for me for the last 7 years or so.

why self hosting will never take off

Literally who cares, the community stands to gain nothing from another few million novice users who don’t even know or care to learn how to formulate a question or usable bug report.

I have a Chromecast Ultra connected by ethernet to my network. There’s an android app with a cast functionality which we both use with our respective accounts. I also hear good things about the Android TV and roku clients (but have neither myself)

Agreed, as long as you handle the HTTPS or VPN setup, and set up any automatic media downloading ( jellyseer, sonarr and radarr and jackett) the end product is certifiably wife approved and works nicely out of the box

and an industry grade internet connection if you plan on sharing your library with a few friends. Otherwise, fully agreed

edit: if you have mostly full HD stuff it might be pretty feasible with regular internet

Sure, by all means, as I said, in that case I’ll just continue downvoting and not being sad when mods take action to keep the discussion on topic.

Sucks for them. When I want to read about it I open a newspaper.

I do agree, filtering would be a better solution for sure.

I don’t have any problems and I don’t want to read about others’ problems constantly while browsing a fucking tech news aggregator.

That’s all too bad and obviously I’d rather everyone was well behaved and happy. But I’m sorry to say I still don’t care enough to want to constantly read about this stuff in spaces that are supposed to be about technology (in the case of technical mailing lists and Github issues, literally exclusively) instead of people.

I don’t know what your exact issue with Hackernews is, I rarely visit it.

To clarify, I am alleging that a lot of this “censorship” is just mods deleting posts which have been sufficiently downvoted by people like me who are not particularly interested in the alleged sexual crimes or social justice plights of people, especially when we actually want to read about tech. Give me a way to filter this out a priori or use dedicated channels to discuss it and I won’t have to downvote it.

To use your analogy, write your warnings to stderr which I can easily redirect to /dev/null while still consuming the program output, and we’re golden.

Of course, it’s forbidden, that’s definitely a more parsimonious explanation than people simply not being interested in reading rape allegations on a tech news aggregator, a technical mailing list or a Github issues page, of all places.

edit: or the Lemmy programming community.

Other people’s computers. Never forget.

Who even gives enough of a fuck to self-censor the central point of the idiotic drivel they posted from the shitter to maximize their impressions? Peak self-absorbedness or what?
