Babylon Berlin (DE) is amazing. They really nailed the tail end of the roaring ‘20s, and the subsequent market crash and rise of fascism. Great homage to old school film noir.

Gomorrah (IT) centres around a cocaine smuggling crime family. Lots of interpersonal politics within the family and between other syndicates. I think it was season 3 (could have been season 2) that dragged a little bit but the rest had me hooked.

Cabinet heads are hiring back employees who were dismissed during the mass purge

Hopefully they get to keep any redundancy payouts AND come back on higher wages. After all, if they’re being hired back then it shows their role was critical.

So aggressive. I love it!

In the immortal words of Good Charlotte:

They’re always complaining, always complaining. If money is such a problem, well they got mansions, think we should rob them.

Though ironically the Madden brothers ended up marrying rich.

New Zealand music month is great for getting out and seeing local bands play.

What all this does is accelerate the day when AI becomes worthless.

It was always worthless. Or, at least, it was always worthless thinking that LLMs were a substitute for reasoning AI, which is what it appears many people have been suckered into.

6 has unintended consequences. Always happy? At a funeral for a loved one? No thanks, I want to feel their passing properly.

I’d be fine with just 2. Possibly not good for the heart, pancreas, or liver though.

Yeah that’s a fair criticism. I can see how it would be polarising. Personally, I don’t mind a bit of slap and tickle in books and I think it thematically fits the hyper-individualist universes in each series.

Megan O’Keefe’s Protectorate Trilogy is a fun read that reminds me a bit of Hamilton’s writing without all the sex.

Just need to misidentify a suspected bomber and we’re on the home stretch to mainstream popularity.

Positive research papers on trickle down economics are always printed on yellow paper for this very reason.

People downvoting seem to have forgotten this unpopular opinions.

I love the taste of coffee and it’s the only thing I drink other than water. It’s not just about caffeine intake and happily drink decaf along with 2 regular coffees.

I'm running Fedora 41 KDE and had what appeared to be an issue with the system not loading to desktop from the GUI login screen. I am getting a black screen with just the cursor and nothing else. I can get a terminal window going on TTY3-6 to reboot and doing so would load into the desktop pretty much instantly.

Turns out that there's actually a process causing total boot time from power on to exceed 6 minutes. Boot log is viewable here https://paste.centos.org/view/raw/8846c1ec

Using systemd-analyze blame I can see that smartd.service is causing 3 minutes of that boot time. From a quick search it seems like it might be doing a full SMART test of my 3 SSDs on the first boot of the day.

Does anyone know how to disable this at boot? There doesn't appear to be a conf file in /etc/ and smartmontools isn't installed.

edit with solution

Thanks @just_another_person@lemmy.world and @notanapple@lemm.ee for correctly pointing out that fedora was struggling to mount a drive.

I checked fstab and there was no entry for the drive. mtab showed that it was mounted even though the drive wasn’t listed. I tried to find a way to have the drive ignored at boot but the only results that came up involved setting udev rules and those results were more than a decade old.

In the end I found the drive listed in /dev/. Using

rm nvmeXnXpX

I deleted the two partition entries and it now boots perfectly AND the drive is now listed correctly in the desktop and accessible.

 

All prices in NZD. Highest priced air cooled card, the Asus ROG Astral, is $6299 and the Asus ROG AIO is $6599.

Even after stripping out the 15% sales tax the lowest priced card is still USD 2655.

 

I was going to wait for a 5080 super anyway, or ideally a 5080 ti, but my 3080 might have to do its duty for another 2 years. This is pretty pathetic.

 

I'm trying to host a vaultwarden instance through docker and failing miserably. This isn't my first attempt either but I've got much further than before.

I'm using a DuckDNS domain with caddy as reverse proxy, but it appears that the domain is defaulting to port 80 no matter how I set up the config. I can't specify a port number in DuckDNS as far as I can tell. If the simple solution is to just buy a domain name I will consider it. Otherwise could really use some help in sorting out why it's not connecting.

I can't access Vaultwarden on the internal IP as it's not being served as SSL but both Vaultwarden and Caddy are running with no errors in logs. I've left out a bunch of admin env variables for the Vaultwarden service to truncate the code.

docker-compose:

`[___](services:

vaultwarden:

container_name: vaultwarden

}

encode gzip

Notifications redirected to the WebSocket server

reverse_proxy /notifications/hub vaultwarden:3012

Proxy everything else to Rocket

}`

Any idea where I'm going wrong?

 

Google pushed their Ai Overview onto my country last night and that finally gave me the push to change search engines.

One thing I did find useful was having product prices displayed in the search result headers but this doesn’t appear to be enabled in any other engine. I used it to quickly scan between retailers as not everything shows up in pricespy or priceme.

I deployed a searxng instance this morning and have heard that you can use json to modify result presentation. Does anyone know if it’s possible to use that to display prices?
