Comment Auto translation is worse (Score 1) 100

Opening a French video out of the blue and hearing some weird English translation no one asked for instead of simply adding subtitles is such an awful example of American exceptionalism...
I'm not necessarily going to set my browser to every language I want to hear with subtitles, but auto-voice translation is just wrong.
If you managed to get to Youtube, you can read and choose to activate it if you want, but stop with this English-centric view.

Our network operations room has a debian 12 box with a pair of radeon cards that drives six 4k tv's and an ancient old 1080p monitor to display network graphs and video surveillance feeds. We run a different DPI on the 1080p one.

I don't recall it being hard to get running. The worst thing for us was figuring out the wacky KDE system of each permutation of monitors having it's own physical layout config. Drove us crazy as we got each additional TV connected.

There's always been a section of borderline mentally ill crazies on slashdot.

I wonder sometimes what sort of lives those guys ended up living from the mid 2000s that were posting the netcraft copypasta, enraged rants about open sores and Lunix etc.

Perhaps trolling a technical community was the least harmful thing they could have been doing with their unreleased anger.

Power usage has a daily pattern something like this:

The battery lets you take some usage from a period of low usage ( like approximately 5am on that image ) to charge up your battery array and then discharge it back into the grid at the highest usage point ( like 6pm on that image ).

A whole lot of engineering is worrying about the worst case of your metrics, so taking some usage from your best case and using it to make your worst case better is a great improvement.

It's not a polished drop in replacement for reddit, but lemmy is looking better all the time. Folks can either create their communities ( subreddits if you like ) on public instances or host them on their own gear or VMs and everyone else can access them via federation on the other instances.

The userbase has been increasing at a pretty high rate since /u/spez initiated reddits suicide attempt.
