For a while Intel's QuickSync was I think one of the better for transcoding (e.g., for Jellyfin). Didn't see mention of this in the article, I wonder if AMD is on par now?

My carrier is Google Fi


one perk is that they will give you free data-only sims (up to 10 I think?) and you just pay for the data you use like any other data. I have used old Android phones in USB tether mode this way, and it works just fine. So, rpi+old/cheap phone should do the trick.

One fun bonus is that if you tether over USB it will work as a WiFi dongle, too


the failover from WiFi to cell should happen on the phone, transparently iirc. Not sure if that affects you.

Caveat is that I did this a while ago, and their pricing structure may have changed. Finished to be a great deal but has slowly become another carrier with not much to differentiate it...

Lol, comment removed. It ended with, "...support for the Chinese Communist party" as a way of finding out someone is a child.

Which was then removed in a, dare I say, childish act of moderation.

(Which is fine, the folks at .ml are welcome to censor as they see fit, of course, and I'm sure this comment isn't long for this world.)

Or, if you allow for polyamory and non-hetero relationships, you probably need a rel table (and some joins in the query).

Maybe GIRLS is just a view...

Super cool. Chemical fuels (hydrocarbons or even plant oils) have ridiculous energy density, which is nice for e.g. cars but absolutely crucial for fast, long-range air travel. I don't think we'll be saying goodbye to jet engines for a long time, and it's awesome that we have ways of making fuel in a somewhat sustainable fashion.

The US Navy has experimented with this, but I think the idea is to use nuclear power instead of solar energy. Makes sense for an aircraft carrier with a big reactor and thirsty jets.

VNC over ssh or wireguard when remote graphics are required. Not as "polished," but it's nice not depending on a 3rd party.

I have a Mikrotik router, 2x VLAN-enabled switches, and 3x VLAN-enabled APs. My Internet access broke every day for a month while I figured out what I was doing.

Sure but how will they catch you if you just go to Transporter Room 3 and energize?

I have an old (probably '60s) hifi amp. It's awesome. Replaced the selenium rectifier with silicon, replaced a few caps, and put fresh tubes in it.

It sounds...basically the same as modern solid state stuff to my untrained ear. It's pretty cool that in a sense we "solved" the problem of amplification back then. Most of the speakers of the day were probably complete crap by today's standards (unless you had something upscale like a pair of AR-3s), but a well designed amplifier from the era holds up well.

I wonder if this is width at waterline vs. overall width confusion?
