That whole issue sounds incredibly stupid from the outside. Would there be the same outrage if someone named their kid Ghengis? He killed even more people. Or Vlad, as in Vlad the Impaler? Or Joseph as in Joseph Stalin? Looking at this with an outside perspective, it truly sounds as the whole thing is fabricated because people just hate the marriage between a Hindu and a Muslim.

You can say "die in hell" in a shoe store to ask for a different pair of shoes.

I use a SIP provider for the landline at home. When on vacation I want to be able to make outbound calls with my landline number. I know this can be done, but I have no idea how. Does anyone here have some pointers for required hardware, software and configuration?

Any person who unironically uses "woke" is a complete douche canoe and can go get fucked. Change my mind.

Take five chimpanzees. Put them in a big cage. Suspend some bananas from the roof of the cage. Provide the chimpanzees with a stepladder. BUT also add a proximity detector to the bananas, so that when a chimp goes near the banana, water hoses are triggered and the whole cage is thoroughly soaked.

Soon, the chimps learn that the bananas and the stepladder are best ignored.

Now, remove one chimp, and replace it with a fresh one. That chimp knows nothing of the hoses. He sees the banana, notices the stepladder, and because he is a smart primate, he envisions himself stepping on the stepladder to reach the bananas. He then deftly grabs the stepladder... and the four other chimps spring on him and beat him squarely. He soon learns to ignore the stepladder.

Then, remove another chimp and replace it with a fresh one. The scenario occurs again; when he grabs the stepladder, he gets mauled by the four other chimps -- yes, including the previous "fresh" chimp. He has integrated the notion of "thou shallt not touch the stepladder".

Iterate. After some operations, you have five chimps who are ready to punch any chimp who would dare touch the stepladder (or curse Henry Symeonis) -- and none of them knows why.

What kind of Wooldoor Sockbat cum clogs a shower? This is so idiotic.

I am building a Wireguard tool for myself and I would like to receive events when a peer connects or disconnects. Does someone know if this is possible through some kernel API or EBPF?

My favorite is StalinSort. You go through the list and eliminate all elements which are not in line.

I am looking for a movie, late 90s to late aughts. What I remember is a press junket for a fictional movie in some hotel and the chaos around it. One specific thing I remember is the director in the movie buying the Unabomber's shack to complete the movie.

Literature on repairing? (discuss.tchncs.de)
submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Hi,

Is there good literature on how to repair stuff? Just general things, not specific appliances. How to repair wood, how to properly sand wood and metal, how to replace a tile, how to read and analyze circuits, identify faulty parts and correct replacements, etc. I just want to become better at repairing stuff.

I don't know what you're talking about. People have been trying to mask body odor for literally thousands of years.

I have a MiTV box with Android that runs apps for Jellyfin, Prime Video and Disney Plus. I would like to replace it with a mini PC, like some N100 box, to have more control over what runs on it. I tried a Pi with Kodi once, but I hate the UI so much. It's just not my thing.

What other options do I have with self-hosted alternatives? I want a central UI like AndroidTV offers, I need Jellyfin, Disney Plus, Prime Video and some local TV station's streaming offerings and some remote control.

I don't think that's possible, as you can only run Disney and Prime in a browser or their apps. And using a browser on the TV is not nice UX. But maybe some of the great people here have cracked that nut and can help me.

This is some serious "keep hitting yourself" material. It's not like you can decide to not be incarcerated. $7300-$29200 of debt per year spent in prison. Man, that is some vicious shit. Nobody will be able to convince me that this is not specifically designed to keep people down forever.

Are there any free/open-source TTS options out there that are on the same level as Google Cloud's? I tried a lot of free ones, but they are absolutely awful and still sound like my Amiga did 30 years ago. With LLMs being available as open source, I am hoping there's also a good TTS offering I just haven't found yet.

This is so American. From the availability of firearms, to their immediate use upon a perceived threat, to the economic situation that would have him evicted, to the insane sentence of 100 years for a 66 year old who needs an oxygen tank. Just sad all around.

I really want to use Wayland, but the lack of a Wayland-based KVM sharing tool is an absolute deal breaker for me. I tried so many of them, but none worked. Waynergy looks alright, but it's only a client. rkvm didn't work at all and I don't remember the names of the other tools I tried. I know that Input Leap/Barrier has met their donation goal for Wayland support, but I am not holding my breath that it'll work with wlr.

Has anyone gotten KVM sharing to work with a Wayland host and other Linux clients?

Fran Drescher, the woman on the right, is the spokesperson for the current strike in Hollywood, where writers and actors are trying to force the studios to agree to not use AI in upcoming productions. To clarify, she's the current head of SAG/AFTRA, which is the screen actors guild (union).

Source for Comics? (discuss.tchncs.de)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Hi,

I am always looking for sources for comics, particularly franco-belgian in English or German. The only sources I can find are these godawful download sites where you need to pay or your download takes a day.

Anyone have better sources?

Edit: Thanks a lot everyone!

I am looking for something I can run on a Pi that gives me access to my private audio library plus Spotify, because I hate switching apps. I want to access it from a desktop and Android. Does someone have something like this set up?
