Thanksgiving treats

traveling during one of the few national holidays to see family is now a treat?

well… he’s right about something, then

Spare yourself a lot of wasted disk space, Windows stupidity, and RAM by just using any mainline Linux distro (e.g. Ubuntu) instead of Windows for the guest. I don’t even mean a headless Linux. You can keep the GUI if you prefer and want. That will still be a small fraction of the ram, compute, and disk space for the VM than a Windows guest.

And a tip for the technique: don’t download torrents into the virtual hard drive for the VM. Download into a shared/mounted directory.

It sounds like you are also possibly overheating. You don’t have hardware decoding for av1 on that computer so it’s all cpu work. But from my extensive use and testing with AV1 there is nothing about your hardware that should fail to play back 1080p 30fps av1 video.

On the contrary. I want my device to be as out of the way and unobtrusive as is possible.

Sincerely hope that whoever has that domain parked is one of us

How fitting, since my password locker still has my password to this site down under chapo.chat.

Lesswrongers are like: Bayes’ theorem is when you get to choose your priors. And the more you get to choose your priors, the more Bayes it becomes.

Not CV but spiritually in the same vein is Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night

I see it’s on steam sale right now, if that matters to you. But my personal review is I prefer SotN, anyway. Another spiritually similar game is Hollow Knight, which I think I like more than Bloodstained.

Those are my weak-ass suggestions.

One of the things that makes SotN so good is it’s also glitchy as hell, which lets you break the game in interesting ways and to play it in a manner that’s completely unintended from the original design perspective. These modern games I mention are a bit too well programmed, if that makes sense.

The day I finally beat racing my friend to the best swing on the playground. He was typically always faster than me, including after that day.

it would be supremely funny if elon musk died in the exact same way as mitch mconnell’s sister-in-law

Chuck Schumer and Dem leadership should be kicked out of congress. Because they suck so bad, Republicans are back in power. Why listen to this idiot piece of shit on anything, ever? The one job they had was to not allow Trump to win again and they failed that.

I would add that the second job they had, as human beings and not just Dems, was to not facilitate a genocide. But they failed at that, too. So they’re also subhuman garbage.

meanwhile my gf bought Pixelmator Pro on sale for a one-time $20 license and that software kicks complete ass. it’s so good.

create something totally new

It’s more than just chaos because in many ways this is deliberate self-sabotage directed from the top executive levels. Like trying to stop the spread of a wildfire by building wooden palisades to contain it.

With ollama and openwebui you can get a pretty featured experience.

Gamers go to the gulag. I make the rules.

a wonderful return to tradition (having a local music library)

She’s one of the very rare actually good points of the Biden administration.
