  • MX Master 3s is bad and I hate it!

    Jump

  • Same experience here. I too bought Keychron M6 and have the same opinion, it feels like a supermarket trash device.

    I now have 4 Logitech mice, two went through RMA for failing buttons, the other two failed outside of warranty period. I know that I can fix those myself, but I'm also too lazy to do it. I'm not buying another Logitech, but I also don't know what will I buy next time.

  • Anyone just losing their patience with stuff? Like can't focus on the stuff you watch/read?

    Jump

  • I can lock in into almost anything that interests me in any way and most things that just have to be done. The problem is always starting and not being pulled out of it by some distraction.

  • Who is the enemy?

    Jump

  • IT people hate computers.

  • Bingo of Awful IT Processes

    Jump

  • This. Sometimes it's enough for one person to be OoO and suddenly you can code in silence, work is being done, standups go from 1 hour to 10 minutes. No extra stupid tasks randomly handed out.

    I wish that person at my project had at least 3x more paid vacations.

  • Bingo of Awful IT Processes

    Jump

  • Rarely, but it happens.

    But I can't shake off the feeling that in most cases recruiters completely misunderstood or misrepresented requirements for the position to get me to the technical interview stage. Like scheduling me for an interview with a team heavy with functional, big data processing while I barely have any purely functional experience.

    Non-technical people doing recruitment work is a scam.

  • My project is doing 12 of those. Guess who has another job interview round next Friday?

  • Any good queer or ally gun youtube channels?

    Jump

  • Whoops, I fixed the link.

  • Any good queer or ally gun youtube channels?

    Jump

  • I was at first slightly hesitant about recommending this channel, but InRangeTV (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeUNM9NqJqZXfRNeuW4_2sg) is a clearly supportive channel and they do showcase guns. They did collaborate a lot with Forgotten Weapons in the past. I'm mentioning in case that's something you don't like.

  • How is FW a fascist? I'm genuinely curious, I've been watching this channel for many years and didn't catch any hints. But I don't follow him outside of YT at all.

  • Looking to make the switch - Advice?

    Jump

  • For best out of the box experience you may want to try Bazzite (https://bazzite.gg/), it will have pretty much everything included for gaming, except Microsoft Store as noted above. This system is harder to break by doing something stupid and has good documentation on their website.

    Alternatively you may try a more traditional "batteries included" distribution like Ultramarine Linux or Linux Mint.

  • I love it.

  • Selfhosting Sunday - What's up to date, selfhosters?

    Jump

  • Portability, isolation, the ability to run pretty much anything inside. They do consume more resources, but if they're that much slower then there's probably something wrong in your setup.

  • Selfhosting Sunday - What's up to date, selfhosters?

    Jump

  • I've tried it a few times, never stuck. I guess it's just convenience, it is a well integrated piece of software, especially if you use both LXC and VMs. Personally I keep using virt-manager and Cockpit.

  • Is there a selfhosted eBooks app that can do this?

    Jump

  • I'm not sure if any app syncs progress with eReaders, but I haven't looked into it. Maybe KOreader can? Other than that Audiobookshelf works well with ebooks. I haven't tested it with graphic novels, but it does handle regular ebooks (PDF and EPUB) just fine.

  • What’s the first book you remember loving?

    Jump

  • The Six Bullerby Children by Astrid Lindgren. I was maybe 9 at the time. I should reread it someday.

  • Jellyfin - Update IMDB scores periodically?

    Jump

  • Translations can get you results ranging from hilarous to horrible. Especially crowdsourced.

  • Jellyfin - Update IMDB scores periodically?

    Jump

  • Translation got me. It's Dashboard in English interface.

  • Jellyfin - Update IMDB scores periodically?

    Jump

  • Go to Cockpit > Libraries > Manage library, there's an option to automatically refresh metadata from the Internet every 30-90 days.

  • What's your go-to activity during long car rides?

    Jump

  • I'd recommend picking something light. A thriller, light fantasy or whatever you prefer that doesn't require too much attention. Michael Crichton is one author I often picked on road trips.
