  Arise balkan gang!

  Czechs and Slovaks too. Or at least the meat is the same shape. Usually served with potatoes, raw onion and mustard.

  Which is why I said power rating as opposed to voltage or current.

  I meant touching strangers, or anyone without consent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is my reaction weird?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, your reaction was nothing but a physical response, so I wouldn’t say so.
  As long as you don’t do it on purpose, no, not weird.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The 1900s⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I rather meant how it sounds. It’s in the “hundreds”.

  Two thousands.
  Twenty hundreds.

  “Early twenty hundreds” does kind of make it sound like we live in 2224 instead while “early two thousands” sounds like 2002.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The 1900s⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Welp, I don’t know when from the memory is, but I do vividly remember thinking about how damn old those 14/15 year old 9th graders are. Could be 1st grade.

  Basically as if the life ended at 20, and they were soon to retire.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The 1900s⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Early 2000’s doesn’t sound odd at all though.

  Based on what I’ve heard about the US’s 988, it may rather be negative.

  Oh, you’re thinking of killing yourself, let us reinforce that by being absolutely rude, or better yet, time to get taken away by cops into a psych ward.

  Let’s see what’s out there with some example (Reddit)
  Summary: Person called 988, police showed up 90 minutes later, got taken for mandatory psychological evaluation, forced to stay 2 days in ER, ended up getting billed $6,470.

  I would recommend actually getting into contact with your crush. You could then establish means to use OTP and won’t need to trust your friend at all.

  You know, exchange each in and out OTP keys each of you will use, agree on a checkerboard to use, write a codebook for common words/phrases you will use, how you’ll notifiy the other party of potentially compromised key(s).

  lemmy.dbzer0.com says “Profanity is encouraged”. Perhaps it could fail on that, at least with some AI.

  As an AI language model, I am unable to use profanity. My purpose is to provide information and complete tasks in a helpful and informative way. Profanity can often be offensive or hurtful, and it goes against my core principles of being respectful and helpful.

  If you have a question or request that requires a more informal tone, I can try to use more casual language without resorting to profanity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dutch toilets⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have some experience with these. The only problem is that as the vertically standing excrement begins to collapse forwards, there is a chace for it to keep contact and drag its top portion across, from your anus towards the front. You can avoid this with a maneuver, pulling yourself up and slightly forward, right after the singular vertical log begins losing contact with the excretion area.

  This is not a joke

  Yeah, I am too lazy to set up something like Jellyfin. It only makes sense for me with music, for which I use Navidrome. But again, my setup is mostly directory/filename based, so it’s really being carried with m3u playlists as opposed to proper metadata.

  I mean, maybe I’ll use Jellyfin if I’ll do something in a proper way, but currently I don’t see the point of it. And anyway, I can always copy the URLs to VLC, which will even accept DVD ISO files.
  e.g.:

  vlc --no-dvdnav-menu http/dvdnav://192.168.49.1:8080/media/ISOs/Interstellar.iso
  

  let’s me play entire copy of a DVD, properly with menus and bonus features, just as if I used the DVD directly.

  Although I don’t do this anymore because of storage limitations, but I’ll likely return back to it once I’ll have a proper media server and LAN.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon sets the mood⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I prefer NGINX with autoindex. Lightweigh, no JavaScript, looks like every Linux ISO mirror, filenames already have all the required info, can be quickly searched with CTRL+F, fits perfectly to my laziness.

  If you want some improvement, you can use FancyIndex module.

  But the files need to be in codecs supported by your browser(s). I prefer AV1+Opus in WebM container which have been supported by Firefox for a while. At this point it’s really only Safari not supporting AV1 because it relies on hardware decoding and Apple wants you to buy new hardware.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Disc market share for week ending in 2024-07-20: Here we have a rarity - DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K UHD's market shares at an equilibrium!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I buy them. The encryption is fully broken, nothing to worry about into the future unlike with Blu-Ray. I also don’t own a Blu-Ray drive. Lastly, size. I am weird enough to copy the entire ISO instead of just ripping the video itself. This leaves me with original quality, but most importantly, menus. VLC can then play it for example via HTTP from a local web server. That’s one lazy solution.

  And nothing beats my laptop’s screen at shittiness. So little contrast you don’t even see the compression artifacts. So bad viewing angles you have to move around the screen to tell apart similar colors. Which is white? Which is gray? Tilt the laptop up and find out! Want to see yellow and orange? Tilt the laptop down!

  I wanted to link to this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYWom6vHy80 , but unfortunately the OP removed it.
  However, all is not lost. Archive.org is again being a Chad by even archiving YouTube videos, albeit at a lower quality: web.archive.org/web/20240719212149/…/watch?v=vYWo…

  But what if it’s true? Perhaps the 2 on the left is integer and the right one is character.
