Hi! I’m an anime artist!
the bit about the experimental Hybrid MP4 is interesting. By fault-tolerant, I’m guessing they mean that if OBS crashes mid recording, your file isn’t just corrupted like it currently is with MP4 recording. Currently, MKV doesn’t have this problem, so thats the container I usually record in.
Maybe not be exactly what you’re looking for, but Logseq has a daily note-taking function. When you open it for the first time of the day, it shows you a blank journal with the current date as the header and you can put whatever you want in it. It has a search function that can search through all the notes you’ve made for specific text. It saves each day as a separate markdown file and you can sync these to your phone or other devices with Syncthing, a cloud service like Google Drive, or with git if you host something like Forgejo.
The only thing about Logseq is that it doesn’t use the standard syntax for Markdown checkboxes. Instead, it has it’s own Todo syntax, which is perfectly human readable without Logseq, but loses out of some convenience if you were to migrate to something else.
Ya Quake-style terminals are super convenient!
The last thing I want is my router sharing information with other parties.
If anyone’s interested and using KDE, there’s Yakuake, which is also a Quake-style terminal that fits in nicely with that environment
Ya’ll better hope that Thanos doesn’t object
There’s one thing I forgot to consider in my original reply and I’m sorry for that. With TrueNAS you’d probably have to copy your data off of the existing drives to somewhere else because they will have to be reformatted to create a ZFS pool. I don’t know if that is practical for you, so please don’t feel like the following is something you must do or anything.
I think you’re doing great. Sorry for the late reply. To answer your questions:
In terms of comprehension, yeah I think you’ve got it. I think a NAS system would handle your caching idea for you, if I’m understanding you correctly. Having a good file sharing setup over LAN, whether its using NFS, or Samba would allow you to mount a folder from your Desktop on your Laptop and access them.
For files that you want to have access to when not on your home network, you could set up a folder that Syncthing tracks on your Desktop, sync that with your Laptop, and then have access to them that way.
I think others have mentioned TrueNAS as an OS for your Desktop. TrueNAS uses ZFS which is nice cuz it uses RAM to help with speeding up file operations. TrueNAS makes it easy to set up NFS shares if your laptop is running a Unix-like OS, or Samba, for anything else. IDK how much RAM is in your desktop, but if you can get that to 16 or 32 GB, you’d be set on that front.
For dealing with an OS you don’t want to change, I’d think about the following first:
What is the speed of your network card in the Desktop? If its 100mbit, you may want to look into upgrading that, if possible to at least a Gigabit card for PCIe. That would speed up anything you do with it.
As for needing local sync for when you’re away from your home network, Syncthing could maybe do what you want. TrueNAS can run Syncthing pretty easily as well, but it can be installed on anything, though, idk how this works if you set Syncthing to track a folder thats also one mounted on your local machine via NFS/Samba. Syncthing will just sync the most recent changes to a file to the server, so you can sync when you’re on your home network. Assuming that no one will modify the same files on your desktop when you’re away.
and you just know this laptop is running Windows Vista
kinda hard to make video games if you keep laying off the people who make video games…
my heart goes out to those in the industry going through all this crap, man
the interns
Tangentially related, but I remember being in college when Tesla was like starting to take off. Like the Model S had just come out. I went to one of the Tesla internship presentations on campus and listened to some of the people who had the internship the previous year and they talked about how they were pulling like, 60+ hour weeks and that they had like, a shuttle that ran all throughout the night to take them from the workplace to the housing. Some talked about going back home at like 3AM, and then showing up for work again at 8AM. It really sounded kind of like it would be a very stressful experience and I didn’t even want to apply after listening to it. I guess they were paid well, but
Sounds like things have only gotten way more chaotic since then
oh wow thanks for sharing. I had never heard about this player before. It seems pretty cool
give me that zstd --ultra 22 its the only thing that will fix me
There’s nothing in Spotify’s ToS that says you can’t be a clam and use their service
omg is that the yearbook picture of Jort, the inventor of Jorts?!??!!? no way!!!
if the kids are acting like this on Roblox then they’re gonna be alright
ah yes. Ford and saving money and fires…
The article says that this is an extension of a recall from 2022 for the same problem, and that Ford says replacement parts are available, but its odd to me that they wouldn’t just replace them. I guess we’re still on risk calculation vs people freaking over a known reason that their car could catch on fire
but think of when you do get hired using that email. It’s either gonna be the best job ever, or a complete shitshow, no in between.
