I have a small ITX pc with a 256gb ssd and two nvr drives for recording my security cameras. I have a google coral installed to run frigate. I'm doing a fresh installation and I'm not sure what the best partition setup is. I'd like to have all of my vm's and containers on the ssd and mirror the two separate drives just for video recording. I'll run backups of my vm's, containers, and configs elsewhere in case the ssd fails.

It announces the time in a clear voice. Fancy at this time.

I found it and took the picture at the international watch museum.

You can choose a new sound or sound(s) to make when you fart. The sound can't be quieter than your fart would otherwise be. Nor can it be shorter than your fart would otherwise be.

What would be your farttone?

Some of my ideas Owen Wilson's "Wow". The scream from that one disturbed song. The entire audio of the Bee movie.

Edit 1. 18 more of you commented than updooted. "No judgement", I say while judging you...

I've been meaning to ask this for a while. I saw a comment a month or so ago. Person said they keep their thermostat at like 65 in the winter and 78 in the summer. 78 seems fucking insane to me. That's too damn hot for inside. How do you sleep at 78 degrees?

Are they a lizard person or am I a baby?

Edit 1: I love all the comments on this! Never thought this post would create such discussion. Looking at the comments vs upvotes it honestly seems 50/50ish that 78 is hot for the indoors. Can lemmy do polls?

I always end up low-balling myself lol.

• price sufficiently lower compared to new
• price higher to negotiate down from to actual price point

I was born with feet in the 1st percentile of the population and they stayed that way even despite getting taller. Now every shoe shopping experience is awkward af.

It is a half baked review, IMO. The author says that despite having 45 W charging, the phone takes 75 mins to charge. Samsung really slows down it's charging speeds post 80%, so testing from 0 to 100 is not a good criterion at all.

Plus, he forgets to mention that Samsung skips on a microSD card for A56 which was present on A55. Though in Samsung's favor, they are offering 6 OS upgrades and I doubt any other OEM except Google matches it.

In this video I am doing some changes to my own game. These changes are something like adding sword combat, adding particles and visual buffs, repairing inventory and crafting table. This video also contains discussion about my oncoming challenge video where I do a coding challenge. Please give feedback about your experience a s a viewer! And remember to tell me why you liked or didn't like the video! Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y71h5Vmly-8&t=6s

Emmanuel Macron will be granted a state visit before Donald Trump’s expected trip in September as Britain seeks closer ties with Europe, according to a report.

I found this interesting. It's mainly about how Brexit has introduced extra red tape when dealing with Europe. The article says how the EU is the UK's largest trading partner, with the value of trade being over double that of the next largest trading partner: the USA.

Here are some quotes:

The days of freedom of movement for people, goods, and services between the UK and its neighbours are long gone.

The British economy has lost out and British citizens and businesses suffer from greater bureaucratic botheration.

Nor has immigration into the UK gone down since leaving the EU. The numbers have actually gone up, with people from Commonwealth countries, including India, Pakistan and Nigeria, more than compensating for EU citizens who used to come and go.

A friend picked up a copy of Halo MCC yesterday, so we introduced him with Halo 3. We got a group of 4, and eventually 5 together and did a multitude of different game modes. One of the first we did was Juggernaut on Epitaph.

The entire battle ended up staying contained to the little balcony in the screenshot. We'd spawn in, make a break for the balcony, and then kill the juggernaut before having it stolen from ourself.

Our match ended with us all accidentally killing each other at the same time. I hadn't even noticed this until going back through the theater for screenshots, but i thought it was a pretty cool coincidence.

We also did One Flag on Guardian. This game was a lot of fun because being separated into teams we had to strategize really hard. Grenades seemed to hold dominance here too as they could be used to clear a hall before the enemy got to us. Combine that with the AR and short hallways and it was a fun challenge.

The winning point ended up being scored by me, as i flanked around the back and led the other team on a drawn out chase, using the geometry to put distance between us. They didn't realize i was making a break for the half of the map we didn't really go on this round, and by the time they did i was already to the point.

The final match we did was Assault with one bomb on Last Resort. We didn't get off to a great start as my time, who was on the offensive, forgot to grab the bomb. We turned around though and grabbed it without wasting too much time.

We ended up going for the high ground and used the fan blade to ascend up the building. We made a break for the landing and made a slam dunk into the point and deployed a bubble shield to hold it.

Sadly our victory was short lived, as when we were on the defense, We got so preoccupied with one of the enemy team players using themselves as a diversion that we didn't realize another one of them was flanking us with the bomb. By the time i had the thought "Oh shit, i bet he's flanking us with the bomb" he had already planted it. We tried to rush over to defuse it but were too late.

So I've been working professionally with Linux-based systems for a few years, and while I'm not the expert I would like to be, I have got a pretty good feeling for the way those systems work. You have the bootloader, the initramfs, the boot procedure, systemd, PID 1, you can check the logs, you have all those little things that make the system work. Everything is a file, you have file permissions and selinux contexts, you have networkmanager, systemd units, you have (system) users, some just for some services, it's all dandy.. if I have a problem with a program I can usually debug it, check its logs, and get it to run.

Now for work I suddenly need to do lots of administration of Windows systems, Win11 and server, and troubleshoot deep, weird issues..

And I've started reading up on it, trying to use PowerShell as much as I can, but I'm just not getting the same high level overview feeling of understanding of how the system works, of how the parts work together. Or even what parts there are, and what they do.

(Especially within an Azure context.)

Books on Windows tend to be very surface level, just instructions on what menus to click through to get a working configuration.

But what's going on underneath the hood? What do I do when I get a weird VPN issue? I mean, there's Get-EventLog to check for things in the logs, but.. nothing feels connected.

Do you know what I mean?

(Also, how cumbersome is PowerShell? No proper paging like with less in bash, I mean, you can't go back a page, not with windows more or that powershell pager command, and you have to type sooo many words.. and yeah, everything is an object, and I see how that can be a nice idea, but man, does that force you to select properties of those objects like crazy. Is this really a good thing, once you have it figured out?)

Are there one-to-one equivalents between Windows and Linux distros that could help me understand? Or is there a really good book that spells it all out, that sets me on a path where I can someday debug ANY issue and understand what I am seeing and doing?

..and I mean, where do I even start out debugging and understanding things like Entra ID issues in Windows365 machines, and hybrid Azure domains.. the Microsoft help usually just seems to be steps on how to configure the stuff, but not understanding how it works..

Sorry, this is all over the place, but I'm just lost right now 🤷‍♂️ maybe someone has felt those same things before and has something wise to tell me?

I have bunch of textbooks, and a lot of lecture notes and notes from colleagues, all in PDF format. What is a good way to classify, manage, store, and read these PDF files? I am trying calibre-web, but it seems difficult to find applications to connect to it.

so I spent last several days making collecting watch time on both videos and livestreams more robust and work across multiple peertube instances, im sure it still has gaps in the structure so that jenk data can get in.

if you want to try it heres the link https://github.com/solidheron/peertube_recomendation_algorythm/ btw its a browser extension

so now I got two parts left that I know of first being creating the user_recomendation_vector and the function that gets recommendation based on that vector. I settle on cosine similarity vector since its easy to implement and can be run in browser with only data collected by the user device, and doesnt requires sharing outside of peertube api. user_recomendation_vector should have two part AOLR: (algorithm of last resort) which will be the words in the title, tags, and description tokenized with an float value and recomended_standard: which will be based on what category either programs or people decide a video belongs to along with an associated float value to make it a vector.

I do have issues with deciding if engagement is important, if short video should have multiplier if they're completed, how much is a like worth, how important is it to get an end of the video.

I should add that I have made complimentary video_description_vector thats store in browser all vector dimentions are 1.
