I agree that you can do those things and be morally right, I was just using it as an example because the Christians often use it as an example of the types of things they'd be doing if they were allowed to.

Which sort of demonstrates that even while they may not agree or be consciously aware of it, they do have an idea of the type of morals they'd follow if they didn't believe in God. Because that's the example of the thing they'd want to do instead of say, just murdering people, it shows they would likely follow the "golden rule" idea (treat others the way you want to be treated).

I remember towards the end of my belief I sort of viewed it like there are things that are wrong according to my religion (like being gay) and there are things that are universally wrong (like murder). The big difference was that universal wrongs involved harm. I didn't see the harm in being gay (because there is none, lol), so I didn't believe it was something Christians should try to stop non Christians from doing. Yes, I was experiencing a lot of cognitive dissonance lol. This topic basically led to my eventually and final moment of rejecting my belief in God. I could no longer reconcile the idea of a loving, benevolent god with the idea that harmless activities were sin. It all fell apart shortly after. I'd already long been on a shaky foundation of "I think the American Church is bad, but Jesus is good" sort of stance. But it's all interconnected. Once you start to believe some of the stories are metaphors or myths, they all start to become metaphors or myths. If you don't believe in a literal virgin birth and literal resurrection, then the entire divinity and sacrifice of Jesus comes into question. And what did I have left? Nothing.

But my life is so much better now. Nothing has been more freeing than leaving the church and leaving behind the idea of god. Sorry this sort of got big and personal lol. Happy pride.

Can I use /a for "I use CachyOS btw"? I wouldn't want to waste our most precious, sacred, and limited /tags, but is the overload acceptable to the /a creator? I would never want to use a /tag against the creators intended usage. /gen /hj /a

REO was already taken by Speed Wagon, sadly.

There's a flag for upgrade that will do an update as well. I don't have it memorized, but you don't need to "update and upgrade" anymore.

/ujWhat's /a normally?

The frustrating thing is that it's not sloptimizing, it's just the meta that search engines have forced people to adhere to if they want to get good results.

To be honest, I don't really know what all it entails. It may or may not require changes that make the site less human friendly. There's one version of it where it actually improves sites. Like if it means using semantic HTML better, then it would make the site more accessible. But it could also mean organizing things differently that are less human friendly. I haven't looked into it enough to judge.

God forbid we build more high speed rail.

I've talked about this a lot, but it pisses me off so much that so many small towns where I live in Georgia (and maybe most states in the US) have little decommissioned train stops. But the train lines are still used. My parents live in a town with one. I live in a town with one. They're both within walking distance. In a better world I'd be able to catch a train to go see them without driving.

I'll be happy to be proven wrong in that case. It's not really like I have any sort of skin in the game.

Lmao, imagine,

your spouse is not attractive, you are just within 10 feet of them over 40 hours a week

So goofy

If this shit happens then none of us (citizens included) have due process. ICE can just say they suspect you're an illegal immigrant and lock you up forever. A lot of people seem to think that if you just show them the documents or prove that you're a citizen this won't happen. All they have to do is snatch you up. You typically see this line of thought from folks defending the current administration, like they believe if you rationally present your argument to authority they'll always agree.

And I'm using him for his.

When talking about inflation there are two main types. I usually call them treasury and CPI inflation, but I don't necessarily know if those are widely used terms. By treasury inflation I refer to the total supply of money, like the inverse of federal interest rates basically. By CPI inflation I mean the change of the consumer price index over time. Both are useful, but depending on the context one may be more useful than the other.

If I turn my controller on, it won't connect. But if it's on when I turn my computer on (or restart/wake from sleep), it connects just fine. I am using the "Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows". It's possible it's actually connected but not recognized by Steam or any games, but I am not sure how to troubleshoot that directly. The Arch wiki (linked) doesn't say anything about this specifically.

I am on CachyOS.

Any ideas? <3

Update: This somehow fixed itself. I don't think I even upgraded or anything since it was a problem.

The initial concept developed by the company involved using heat generated by Bitcoin mining rigs, according to Heata Co-founder and CTO Chris Jordan.

"We literally put a Bitcoin miner in a barrel of mineral oil and plumbed it up to a radiator," he told The Register.

Edit, because I think folks may be confused due to the quote I put in. They are not installing crypto miners into water heaters. That was just their original inspiration. Sorry for the confusion.

"We're not looking at serving real time workloads, we're not doing websites, databases, message queue servers," Jordan explained. "Our ideal job is; here's a chunk of data, go and process that for some hours. And here's the result," he said.

This could still prove useful for 3D rendering workloads, finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics, and others where there is a lot of CPU or GPU processing, he claimed.

My Keyboard has a chattering problem. On Windows I was able to run a program that would detect this and fix it. I believe I could use the built-in keyboard bounce accessibility feature to solve this, but the lowest setting it will allow me to use is 100 ms. When I type normally I will sometimes push a key that fast (e.g., hitting backspace a lot or in a video game). Is it possible to lower this settings to something like 10 ms? Maybe via the terminal?


Edit:

Potential workaround found. In ~/.config/kaccessrc manually change it to something like 10. Save and reboot. It didn't seem to take hold if I didn't reboot. Even typing this now I am seeing some problems, but I also hear the ding indicating it is working. Change BounceKeysRejectBeep to false to get rid of the ding. A comment on the bug mentioned 40 ms, so maybe that's a good sweetspot.

[Keyboard]
BounceKeys=true
BounceKeysDelay=10

For me it isn't working. Single player works fine. If Crossplay is ON I can see other games on the world map, but time out when joining the lobby. When I disable Crossplay I see none at all. (Yes, this is the opposite of what you might guess based on other issues people have mentioned where disabling Crossplay fixed it.)

Update: I switched to Proton 9 from the Cachy version and it works!

On Windows I use the linked program. I tried using KDE's accessibility settings but the lowest time it can do it 100 ms, which I naturally do on occasion (mashing backspace quickly, for example). Is there any other solution?

Powering my GPU and rails (programming.dev)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by JackbyDev@programming.dev to c/buildapc@lemmy.world

This will likely have some technical inaccuracies because I've never dealt with something this specific with PSUs. I have two slots for PCIe. I have a 3070 ti which has two 8 pin connectors. Each of this PSU's cords for the PCIe slots (minus that mysterious 600W one which I think is not for anything I'm doing due to the size) goes from the 12 pin on the PSU to two separate 8 pin connectors (well, 6 with the optional 2).

My gut feeling is to just plug a single cord from the PCIe slots I to the two slots on my GPU. But I'm wondering about what would happen if I plugged two cords into the PCIe slots separately and then put a single connector into the GPU from each. Would that be better/worse/the same/catastrophic?

I'm wondering if it has something to do with dividing the current among the different rails in the PSU or something? It has a little jumper to enable "overclocking" which does something like combining the rails, but I'd rather not fool with that. And it also might be totally unrelated to the other question. The jumper is, of course, just out of view of the pic, but it's also not really relevant.

Edit: I went with one and it's working fine.

I've seen some tools that do things like take snapshots periodically and ones that add snapshots to grub, but not this specifically. Does something exist?

This will probably be on EndeavourOS, not Arch directly, if it matters.

Sorry for the horrible picture. It's hard enough to see with my eyes, let alone get a pic.

Using one of those FTDI kenwood adapter programming cables. My gut feeling is no. It would be nice for things like sending/receiving SSTV images.

I am able to transmit if I use a double ended male 3.5 mm cable in the microphone hole of the radio and the headphones hole in my computer, but I have to hold down the PTT button. Also I have to turn the volume on my computer down a lot or else it is distorted. I suspect this has something to do with "line out" versus "headphones" voltage levels (I recall seeing some YouTube video discuss this).

My guessThe left sort of looks like the outside of the cable so I think that's ground.
