  • TIL: Only four countries in the world have no government mandated minimum paid vacation or paid public holidays: Palau, Micronesia, Nauru, and the United States of America.

  • Yeah but you guys have your own kind of mustard, and tomato sauce, and the epstein ballroom, and those ridiculous big cars. It's surely the greatest country in the world.

  • Many people of any gender find sex much less enjoyable with a condom.

  • If AI was all it was cracked up to be, it wouldn't be shoved in your face 24/7

  • No, the hype is over-stating how useful it will eventually be.

  • I absolutely hate seeing AI crammed into everything.

    However, i don't understand your logic.

    If AI was in fact useful, it would be crammed into everything because everyone would want it.

    So while AI is undoubtedly shit, its presence in everything is not evidence of that.

  • I generally do my best to avoid accusing commenters of being bots, but when a commenter only has the capacity to comment about the one issue which has been engrained into their personality, they may as well be a bot.

  • Cruise passenger, 80, found dead after being abandoned on Great Barrier Reef island - ABC News

    Jump

  • Yeah, but fine print isn't always binding.

    You can leave someone in Port if they were dawdling back from the bar.

    You can't leave an 80 year old woman alone on an uninhabited island in the heat with no water.

  qbittorrent:

    this is my compose.yml for a qbittorrent instance.

    the part you're interested in is the final line. There's another container with the wireguard instance called "wg_out". This network mode attaches this qbittorrent container to that wireguard container's network stack.

  • This actually seems to happen semi-regularly in Queensland. This is certainly not the first time.

    You'd think they'd have some kind of infallible double redundancy tag out system.

    One wonders how often this might happen and go unreported.

    Edit: oof. Sorry, I just read the article. Looks like she didn't die because she was left behind. Rather, she fell off a cliff and died which is why she didn't board the boat prior to it's departure. Still. Wouldn't hurt to have some awareness of how many passengers had re-boarded the boat.

  • What's gluetun?

    Jump

  • I'd seen gluetun mentioned but didn't know what it was for until a moment ago.

    I've heard of tailscale and at least know what that does but never used it.

    I personally have a mullvad subscription. I have a container connected to that with wireguard, and then for services I want to use that VPN I just configure them to use the network stack from that container.

    I'm not suggesting that my way is the best but it's worked well for several years now.

  • Study Boldly Claims 4K And 8K TVs Aren't Much Better Than HD To Your Eyes, But Is It True?

  • I have a 32 inch 1080p monitor as my secondary

    I honestly find this hard to believe. I have 2x 32 inch monitors on my desk and in 1920x1080 they're ugly to the point of distraction.

    if you are going big why spend the money on a 4k one if you are just going to use scaling anyway?

    4k isn't that expensive. you can get 32 inch 4k monitors for a few hundred dollars.

    Scaling is not the same as reducing the resolution.

    Jump

  • There's this thing called scaling that allows you to see things in an appropriate size but higher definition.

    Anyone who uses spreadsheets regularly wants the extra real estate. Anyone who works with complex documents wants the extra real estate.

    It's not about more dots on your 24 inch, it's about larger monitors that can display more stuff simultaneously. Instead of 4x 1080p monitors you can have 2x larger 4k monitors. Offer this to anyone who makes money by staring at a screen all day and they'll tell you it's worth it.

  • card game shop

    Jump

  • That's just not how interacting with humans works though.

    Chances are there are several individuals who visit this shop with "offensive" hygiene.

    The sign isn't going to stop them coming in.

    When you say "hey fuck off stinky", they're going to react badly. Pointing to the sign isn't going to make them any less reactive or defensive.

    The correct way to handle this is to pull them aside, tell them you really appreciate them visiting the store, they're really into the hobby and a key part of the local scene or whatever, but last time they came in a few other customers mentioned their hygiene.

    I totally understand that most people don't want to have that second interaction, that's fine.

    My point is, in either approach the sign doesn't help.

  • Indonesia’s new capital, Nusantara, in danger of becoming a ‘ghost city’

    Jump

  • I didn't even know this was a thing before reading that article but I'm going to engage in some wild supposition.

    I'm going to suppose that many of those in the outgoing presidents cabinet were heavily invested in companies involved in industries such as production of construction materials, transport of those materials, and of course construction.

    I also predict that in the not so distant future they will find significant deficiencies in the buildings which have been constructed, such as defective materials, insufficient concrete density, insufficient foundations, and so on.

  • Like most signs, this will be ignored by the people it's intended for.

  • What about the vast majority of people who stare at screens for work?

    Frame rates aren't really important, it's making things more readable in less space.

    The cost / benefit is a completely different dynamic.

  • The resolution (4k in this case) defines the number of pixels to be shown to the user. The bitrate defines how much data is provided in the file or stream. A codec is the method for converting data to pixels.

    Suppose you've recorded something in 1080p (low resolution). You could convert it to 4k, but the codec has to make up the pixels that can't be computed from the data.

    In summary, the TV in my living room might be more capable, but my streaming provider probably isn't sending enough data to really use it.

  • Dutch volleyballer and convicted child rapist Steven van de Velde denied visa to enter Australia

    Jump

  • I'm really quite enjoying our current government's penchant for denying high profile visas.

    First ye, then that conservative bitch, now this guy.

    Kinda wondering who we can do next honestly. I'm hoping it's someone more controversial.
