what an awful day to be able to see

take it out of that adapter. lots of people giving good tips but it’s not worth assuming anything about the drive till you plug it directly in. that’s a pretty high capacity drive, and shitty adapters can misbehave in fascinating ways.

faint clicking is normal from a drive of this size. bigger drives make bigger noises (especially those designed for use in enterprise environments).

when you plug it in, run smartctl -a on it and post it here. that’ll be definitive for what’s up before you try any of the more creative solutions here.

cult of the lamb and dave the diver are two of my go tos. would recommend!

one note tho: if you notice your deck acting slower, consider unintstalling some games. SSD performance tanks as it nears capacity. it’s best to leave about 20% free. I personally don’t always follow that, but when it starts acting slow thats my first bet.

very neat! thanks!

can you go into detail on the boxes and your mods? interested in getting some of my family off of Roku for this reason

silent planet is the best christian band I’ve ever discovered. they just have incredibly correct takes so idc if they’re religious.

thanks for the clarification! it’s been a bit lol. cant believe I had forgotten about the oz fiasco haha

well, of course it’s a problem. no one here is saying anything otherwise. all we’re talking about here is whether the typical “americans voting for known genocide supporters” applies here. and this is one of the rare cases where no, he genuinely wasn’t that person when he was elected.

of course it’s a problem that we vote for people and people change. in a better world, we’d vote for ideologies, not people, because people change, but you’re arguing up the wrong tree in this particular case. in general, I really do agree with you, but that’s not really applicable here.

the “signs” were signs of him maybe not being as progressive as he claimed. not that he would have a stroke and his (seemingly progressive wife with queer kids) would push him off the deep end.

honestly don’t understand how there’s always someone on this platform that pops up claiming they can see the future (but only in retrospect). I’m gonna take a wild guess and say you don’t live in PA and didn’t vote in that election.

yeah. the dude fetterman was running against was impressively even more of a douche than fetterman is now (doug mastriano dr. oz if I remember the name correctly), so fetterman was very much someone people got excited to vote for. and now he’s often the single vote blocking decent measures. truly a shame all around

I voted for fetterman. it’s easy to say people shouldn’t have voted for him but he legitimately wasn’t like this during the election cycle. it’s not like he was hiding his true self, he had a massive stroke and his wife pushed some crazy rightwing/pro Israel shit while he was recovering and he was never the same.

I mean, yeah, obviously I wish I hadn’t voted for him, but it’s pretty hard to predict a stroke and the effects it has on someone.

not the commenter your responding but yes with proper setup travel is no issue.

I’ve never tried to host in the cloud so I have no input on that, but locally + tailscale is very doable and pretty dead simple to setup and manage.

I would highly recommend the linuxserver.io docker image. with a modern cpu and the docker image, transcoding won’t be too much of an issue with most titles and only one or two users. my server has media only in hevc, so some clients need transcoding. my 3700k is perfectly fine with it.

if you want to expose it to a domain you gotta be a little more careful, reverse proxy + an external auth provider like authentik at minimum is what I would suggest. fail2ban and anubis are also great ideas.

I’m good, but thanks for doing this! people like you make the fediverse what it is :)

software dev - I’m 8-5ish but the end is very flexible.

my morning is usually me waking myself up and remembering what I’m doing till 8:45, then we have a company wide and a dev team standup. then they let us loose to do what we need to do. if I run out of shit to do, I leave. sometimes I’m out by 3pm, but if there’s plenty to do and my wife is working late I’m often there till 6.

so 9-5, no, but 8-4ish, which is still the same 8 hours I guess. I don’t know any devs that start at 9am around here, 8 seems to be standard for some reason I can’t fathom.

my experience on this app has been way better since I set up an instance block for the tankie triad.

I had a sustainability class where the professor used AI to write the course syllabus, assignments, and feedback. a fucking sustainability class.

I contacted the office of the president about it at my university but nothing ever happened of it. academia in general has gone off the rails with AI recently. I used to assume those with doctorates we’re bright enough to avoid AI but evidently that’s not the case.

yeah same. got banned for a few and decided it was actually quite nice then set up an instance block for .ml.

real leftists aren’t bootlickers for anyone.

honestly if I met my 14 year old self I’d give that kid a hug. they wouldn’t accept it, but wow did they need it. turns out shit does, in fact, get better.

there’s a lot of people that hopped on the Linux train in the past few years. which is great, truly. but many of them don’t understand where it came from or what it was originally designed to solve. particularly on lemmy, people are pretty up in arms about their opinions of Linux all the time, so I would bet whichever comm was doing that is mainly the new heads. again, love that it’s getting mainstream recognition but I wish the combative attitude was at least tabled until they actually understand it.

the recent debate of systemd in here kind of drove home that a lot of people just parrot points without having their own thought out opinions.

“yes, they intentionally made it so a perfectly capable device can’t build apps for the app store, but that has nothing to do with ewaste!”

no idea why you’ve spent so much time trying to convince people in this thread the behavior that apple has been openly criticized and indeed sued over is somehow ok.
