  • Sometimes I find myself annoyed by Lemmy users. We love to tout foss alternatives, even when they don't work as well, or aren't nearly as polished.

    Libre office is a different story, it has everything you'll need, it's really complete, it does everything you want and it can read any format you throw at it and save its output in any format you need. It launches faster than Microsoft office, it's more stable, I really have absolutely no complaints, everyone should be using it.

  • Hey, thanks for the reply. Yeah I ran memtest at some point, but I've also used the memory in a different machine and had no trouble with it.

    I've done several bios updates hoping for some fix, but no beans.

    It does feel like a hardware defect, but the unfortunate bit is that the machine ran great for over a year, then suddenly started giving me trouble at some point, so I'm probably outside of any warranty period. That's basically the only reason I haven't RMA'd it already.

    Installing mint is a pretty good idea, I could try that. But yeah, a new AM4 mobo is probably my best bet, I can't tell you how frustrating it is though...

    Thanks for the ideas, I appreciate it!

  • Frequent crashing/freezing, especially at idle. Once the processor is under heavier load it's fine, it'll keep going smooth for hours. but at lower energy states the CPU is super unstable. It often takes me about a half hour just to get the thing up and running steady, very frustrating. Sometimes it likes to crash right as it's changing load levels/c-State, so just as it finishes loading files for a game just as the first 3d frame is rendered. Or vice versa, it'll crash about 15 seconds after the computer returns to mostly idle when you exit an application.

    I've tried a bunch of things, disabling c-states, manually setting dram timings, manually increasing power to various parts, enabling/disabling just about every relevant feature I can find. And of course looking for help online. I'm actually pretty sure the problem is in the motherboard, as one of the "fixes" I tried was going from a Ryzen 3600 to a 3800X, and the problem was the same.

    I've looked around and it's an issue I have seen other people having, though it's not very common. But there's no consensus in the root of the problem. It does seem to be that it's some interaction between the motherboard and cpu. It could plausibly be the power supply, but I think that's pretty unlikely. The ram is fine.

  • I just looked up jfa-go, I'm not at all opposed to trying things if they'll work.

    It seems like jfa-go is a user account management system, which is indeed super useful. But it doesn't handle the remote content part. I'm still not going to create a VPN to share content.

  • That depends, is there anything that isn't a roguelike?

    I'm pretty sure all applications are technically "roguelike" now. Hades (roguelike), FTL (roguelike), Dirt Rally (roguelike), card games (all roguelike), MS office 365 (roguelike), Android accessibility config pane (roguelike).

  • If it isn't working, we could just eliminate the entire department.

    I mean we didn't need it before 2002, and since it was only formed as a knee jerk reaction to 9/11, we've arguably never actually needed it.

    Also, it would save $100 billion. That looks like this: $100,000,000,000

  • This sounds just like Spectre/heartbleed. Haven't we learned our lesson with speculative computation? I guess not...

    Well you know what they say, if it was a bad idea 10 fucking years ago, then let's do it again!

  • Meh, seems like a sensible take. Certainly better for your mental health.

    Communities matter. There's a reason I'm not on X, there's a reason I don't play pubg or overwatch, toxic communities can seriously make any experience suck.

  • It's plain deceitful to say jellyfin is simply better. It's simply less capable and less supported. I don't know if you're trying to deceive others or just yourself.

    Here's the difference: With Plex it's trivial to invite other people to watch content from your server, they can view it on just about any device they have and it doesn't take any complicated networking setup to achieve. Likewise, just as you share your server, you can view content from other people's servers through the same interface. This is not a small feature it's the primary feature of Plex, it's what sets it apart from xbmc or any media center software.

    I am totally on board with FOSS and I would absolutely use jellyfin in a second if it could do the things that Plex does. But it can't.

    As a side note, this new interface for Plex on mobile is absolute shit, a big step backwards. If I had my way I'd still be using the Plex app from 2016.

    The real problem with Plex is that it's a whole package, server and client. If it were instead a server and an open protocol, that anyone could make a client for, that would be vastly superior. I desperately want to use a more customizable 3rd party client with my Plex server.

  • Claiming that some open source code is really proprietary is pretty bold. I suppose they could prove that by releasing their code, but to me it smells like they've been using open source code without attributing it for a while. And now they're trying to solve this problem by taking down the original.

    Honestly, an assertion that open source code is really stolen seems pretty easy to prove wrong.
