They painted their cars pink and covered them with pro-LGBT text, then drove through rural Alabama. So yeah, they got followed for a bit.

Having a GPU is nice if you start letting other people access your Jellyfin server; transcoding for some video files can be tough on the CPU, and if it’s trying to do more than one at a time, stuff can get laggy. But unfortunately, trying to get my ancient GPUs to do anything has been a nightmare! Besides the architecture itself being old, it seemed as though Nvidia deprecated some of the features I needed on the official drivers, and the Nouveau docs have been a headache to sort through. I think, maybe, probably, it’s technically possible, but I’m burned out on messing with it at the moment.

That 970 might be recent enough to work with a little less hassle though!

100%.The strongest PC in my homelab right now is my old gaming PC featuring an i7-4790k, 16gb RAM, and sometimes it has a GTX 680 and others a 730 (neither right now though, for Reasons). 2nd place goes to a dual-core, 4-thread laptop from 2012 with hinges so broken I have to lean the screen back against the wall behind it. And before I retired that old gaming PC last year, that laptop ran my personal Jellyfin server for well over a year with no major issues!

I mean, we do, but we did give some of it to Ukraine (not a criticism) and also more importantly, we want to keep having that hoard. I guess who knows wtf our foreign policy is now, but in general if you have a big, one-time-use stick, it’s smarter to threaten to use the stick than it is to actually use it and just hope that there’s nothing else that needs whacking afterwards.

The impression I’ve been getting is that there wasn’t any time to make a plan anyway. I mean, even if there had been time, I doubt this group of geniuses would have been able to put together anything coherent , but it seems to me as though US negotiators were getting close to a good peace deal, Israel got wind of it, decided to literally bomb it, and this admin is too fascist and spineless to refuse to follow Israel into a war of aggression.

So, yeah, not that there would have been a good plan anyway, but I think this was almost as much of a surprise to the admin as it was to the rest of us.

If only, huh?

To be fair, as the biggest instance, .world deals with the most bots and spam of any instance. Not surprising whatever countermeasures they’ve implemented also involve blocking some VPN-associated addresses; they’ve probably been used by bots before and were blocked due to having been abused, not specifically because they’re associated with a VPN.

Meh, sometimes people need to be ignored, especially on the Internet, especially as a mod on the Internet. Only the people who disagree with you are likely to speak up in the first place

Even in the article Jason Wang says he’s seen this before, but this represents a massive scaling up, from hundreds of boats to thousands

Oh I dunno, it only has to be new to me. I’ve spent the last few days swapping around some GPUs that came out circa 2010, seeing if I can get them working with folding@home. Fun enough as it is, but I’m sure it would have been way more fun with Windows.

Sorry, the installer you used played ads while you waited? Like, with audio? Where the fuck did you find that thing? Scrolling text for AMD’s other products, sure, but I’ve never downloaded anything so egregious from AMD’s website

Yeah I have issues with my home setup at least that often. I can only think of two occasions where the solution took more effort than a reboot. Maybe we’re all just old enough for “every 6 months” to feel like every 5 mins

To clarify, by “issues” I mean “system stoppages not precipitated by me fucking with something.” I screw up my own system way more often than that lol

“Male and female” were synonyms for “large and small,” huh? I hope you manage to get past the first sentence of an article one day

Before you come at me with the end of that paragraph, try reading the end of it too. Still not a binary!

I know I told you to find someone else to read for you, but I won’t be that person, sorry. However, rest assured, the Wikipedia article you linked also doesn’t claim what you say it does. Have a shitty day!

It doesn’t acknowledge Khelif as male in any way at all, not even in the completely irrelevant idiot way you’re pretending sex is defined. Read the thing for fucks sake lmao

no, im not talking about the gender spectrum, the snopes article WHICH YOU LINKED is talking about intersex people. people in between one sex or the other. who might fall closer to one side or the other for one reason or another. you know. a spectrum!

the article WHICH YOU LINKED describes in detail why chromosomes don’t work as a binary way to define sex. the article WHICH YOU LINKED explains why you shouldn’t take ait aoudia at his word. YOU LINKED IT, but then it explained why none of this intersex talk even applies to khelif in the first place, and YOU are now trying to discredit it. genuinely i hope you’re a bot of some sort because these mental gymnastics are way too good for the human division

you don’t have evidence! your shady blogs and discredited idiots are more like negative evidence! i mean, babygirl, did you read that snopes article? cuz i promise it doesn’t support what youre saying

key excerpts you must have missed, surely by accident:

The screenshots shown in Ait Aoudia’s reporting are unverified. Snopes reached out to the doctors and hospitals associated with the alleged reports. They either did not respond or would not, as a matter of policy, confirm their authenticity or if Khelif was ever a patient of theirs. Ait Aoudia did not provide Snopes with any details of his source

and

Even if the reports published by Ait Aoudia are authentic, however, the alleged findings have been misrepresented

those are almost at the top of the article!

so first i think you should ask someone to read this to you, then ask them to also read the rest of the snopes article, where it talks about the sex spectrum and intersexuality. none of which is in the article because it applies to khelif, but only to the nonsense brainless idiots spout. if you actually read the article you linked, you might realize that if someone was born with the corresponding genitalia, they might just be that sex, regardless of hormone levels or whatever genetic bullshit people wanna pretend applies to khelif so they can fantasize about azalia amineva still being undefeated.

i know youre a lost cause, but to anyone else who reads this thread, please remember: this is even dumber because even though none of it applies to khelif anyway, trans and intersex people are still fucking people and should be allowed to compete. not in their own league. theyre not undesireables. theyre not diseased. just let people play their games!

Lmao is that just some dude’s blog? Your accredited lab is bullshit, your blogger here literally spouts a bunch of hearsay and conjecture what about a clarification from the IOC implies, then has the gall to throw out the phrase “facts are facts.”

Also I love this: “3 Wire Sports remains the only journalistic outlet to have seen these 2022 and 2023 tests.” Holy shit lol.

But yeah, sure thing, whatever you say sweetie

I mean they still say that about Imane Khelif so

I’m not familiar with ProtonVPN configuration so can’t guide you much there, presumably if the port forwarding option only allows for one setting then maybe it’s doing both TCP/UDP? I dunno…

Maybe that’s a good place for me to do some digging, but this is an issue specific to the new torrent I made. Things I download first seed just fine, and at much higher rates when I have the port open, so I think that’s working normally regardless of any TCP/UDP stuff under the hood.

can the test torrent client see that there is a seed on the torrent?

I think I misread this. No, neither client sees any peers, but when viewing the trackers within the client, the trackers are reporting peers. I’ll keep what I originally typed in the spoiler below.
