    Ah yes, the extremely humanlike robots. šŸ˜‚

    I think one difference is that men often have no support structures at all, and certainly not with levels of physical or emotional connection. They aren't just craving sex, they are craving human intimacy and connection where it is very normalized in the west among women to have emotional and physical platonic intimacy among friend support groups.

  • Except the old guard is literally being purged out of agencies right now and is almost completely gone from the national political scene. McCain is dead with trump dancing on his grave, Romney is out after voting to convict trump during the 2021 impeachment. McConnell is retired, but literally spent the last decade trying to get trump elected and give him complete control over the courts (and tried to hand the courts to partisan unqualified judges for 30 years) All of the other "old guard" have bent the knee or left.

  • Crazy how that doesn't at all even address the problem of subtitle sync! It just pastes subtitles as-is in there. What if the subtitle files are at a different framerste? What if the subtitles have the wrong starting offset for the media? What if the subtitles have 1-2 mistakes in them as far as timing?

    Hence why there are a dozen subtitle syncing tool projects supplementing ffmpeg like ffsubsync, subsync, alass, autosubsync, srtsync, etc...

  • Using the integrated player. That is the only player option on android TV. On android I am also using the integrated player. If I use the web player, the same UI as the web shows up WITHOUT the subtitle offset option that is in the web player in a web browser. Not sure what the difference could be. Always burning in subtitles isn't enabled either.

  • The only thing about jellyfin is the damn subtitles. Subtitle sync is horrible. They added a subtitle offset feature last year which was a good workaround and then removed it a few months ago on androidtv and android. Now the subtitle offset on the web player doesn't do anything anymore either

    Even Subgen generated subtitles, which are pretty perfectly in sync in reality, are sometimes played back at an incorrect speed so it will progressively get more and more out of sync, but there is no way to tell what speed the subtitles are being played at.

    Also it just ignores themes a lot of times or only displays themes on the admin console and nowhere else.

    That said, jellyfin is still amazing!

  • Well yeah, you could do that with any PTC + resistor. That is then a circuit, not an active component. Also you would likely have to use more energy than you would gain from "amplifying" since the heat would conduct away from the target and radiate away.

    For example, if you had a photoresistor and used an LED to turn its resistance from high to low, that doesn't make the photoresistor an active component.

    Plus in the paper, the small wire + geometry is a prerequisite to do the resistance switch without melting everything.

  • Not to discredit what he did because he was probably one of the biggest impact decisions taken ever, he is definitely a great man and he deserves every ounce of credit, but he did not defy orders. They received no orders whatsoever, and the captain just assumed a war had broken out. They were too deep to receive orders at all. He refused to give his permission which was "legally" (military law-wise?) needed to launch the nukes. From your own link (also he wasn't a commander at the time):

    Unlike other Soviet submarines armed with the "special weapon", where only the captain and the political officer were required to authorize a nuclear launch, three officers on board the B-59 were required to authorize the launch because Arkhipov was also the chief of staff of the brigade (not the commander as is often incorrectly reported, who was in fact Captain First Rank Vasili Naumovich Agafonov).[11][12] The three men were Captain Savitsky, Political Officer Ivan Semyonovich Maslennikov, and Executive Officer Arkhipov. An argument broke out among the three of them, with only Arkhipov against the launch.

    So it doesn't really apply. It is more one of 3 commanding officers that had a big disagreement and one of them refused to let the others give the order.

  • I had to physically log into the server (I am not using a VPS) and docker compose -f ... down the container in order for it to be solved. After a downgrade of nextcloud it was solved and the next upgrade I did, didn't experience the same issue. I ended up ditching nextcloud anyway because after an update ~8-12 months ago, the login page has never loaded since, so it can't be used. I found out I rarely used it anyway.

  • The FBI that has been is going through constant purging right now and kicking out non-trump fascist zealots loyalists? That FBI?

  • Refusing illegal orders is something that always sounds good, but never goes well even when it rarely happens in real life. Otherwise the crazy numerous war crimes and illegal things the air force kidnapping citizens human trafficked and abused by ICE because they are brown and "might be illegal" wouldn't happen.

  • I don't know how many teenage programmers you have interacted with recently, but they are generally just learning the basics, learning core concepts, experimenting, etc...

    There is a huge gap between making small, sometimes very cool and creative even, projects and understanding a giant legacy codebase in a language that is not taught anymore. I mean, even university grads often have trouble learning legacy code, much less in COBOL.

    You wouldn't say your average teenage cook could make a gourmet meal for a house of 50 people šŸ˜… not a dis, just they haven't had the time to get to greybeard level yet

  • There is literally no good corporate computer manufacturer anymore. Dell, HP, Lenovo, all not good.

    There are decent companies for home laptops: system76, framework, etc...

    But they don't have the support infrastructure necessary for many corporate IT departments.

  • Hey, I had a similar thing happen to me. It turns out the faulty container brought down my entire LAN network. The reason you can't ssh in is likely because your router is stuck at 100% usage trying to figure it out.

    At least that is what happened with my old Archer A7 and damn nextcloud.

  • Oh great, the Belgian good alternative for piece of shit Facebook marketplace is on there... 2dehands.

    We can never have nice things...

    Also Good Pizza Great Pizza 😢

    This is actually a really handy app!

  • I mean, that is an absolutely batshit insane price for storage. Backblaze is $6 per month for 1TB, and Hetzner is 4€ per month for 1TB, so literally 1000x cheaper, but you are also paying for development and the sync software.

    I almost have my company going on putting our QMS wiki on obsidian because excalidraw with clickable objects works so nicely and it can visualize our process, but for some reason commercial was showing up as 50 USD per month per user, so they couldn't justify getting licenses but now it is showing up as 50 USD per year which is way way way more reasonable.

  • You are really missing out

    impossible to join

    Lol yeah many of us know we are missing out but can't join any decent private trackers because they are impossible to join. The one small one I was able to join has so few users that maintaining a good ratio is literally impossible because not enough people download anything but brand-new media. Luckily they give points for keeping things alive that can be traded for ratio.

    I think without the points I would have like a 0.05 ratio or something dumb while I am 24/7 seeding over 300 files. On public trackers I have 3.1TB down, 20.7TB up seeding ~600.

  • Live on the edge

    Pin to develop

  • So this is a 3D printed PTC thermistor. Very cool and potentially extremely useful for measuring temperatures within a housing which has never before been able to be done to my knowledge. This is potentially awesome for embedding in medical devices which by regulations cannot be above a specific temperature while in contact with the body.

    That said, there is nothing "active" about it. Thermistors are, by definition, passive electronic components. Actives amplify, rectify, or supply electric energy while passives consume, store, and release supplied energy.

  • Lol a source who's source is what the commenter is looking for an external source for.

    Source-circles are great lol.

  • Trump himself and all of his rich friends on Epstein's island have done way worse than Luigi. At least I consider the systematic rape of children and human trafficking worse than killing a mass murderer.
