Sometimes clearing the app data and cache can also help. Not sure if it’s the answer here but worth a try.

Why is it so hard to believe someone has been to Ukraine? like really? I’ve also been to Poland many times and have family there. Just FYI Ukraine borders Poland. Not really difficult traveling between the two. You may have never left Russia (I’ve been there too) but plenty of people travel to other countries this is not a rare thing. I’m sorry if you have not had the opportunity to travel but would highly recommend you do so. I think it would help you a lot.

History is history and you can’t change it. Russia is the aggressor here (and in many other places, they have a pretty consistent playbook) it’s not really up for debate (though I’m sure you’ll continue to try).

The fact is that between February and March 2014, unmarked Russian soldiers occupied and blockaded the Simferopol International Airport, most of Ukraine’s Crimean military bases, and the Supreme Council of Crimea. The Kremlin stated that no Russian troops were active in the region, but many little green men were operating in this region while disguised as pro-Russian separatists.

After two months of denial, on 17 April 2014, Russian president Vladimir Putin confirmed that the Russian military had been operating in Ukraine.

So by Putin’s own account here, sending troops into Ukraine they of course started the war. All of which is conveniently left out of this article. Some great reporting here…

Yeah it’s pretty upsetting I really liked Sync too. If it helps at all I recently switched to Voyager after trying a few apps. They are all pretty good but for me at least switching to Voyager seemed to be the easiest coming from Sync.

I’m not sure how anyone would read that article knowing anything about Ukraine and not immediately realize this article is biased and misleading. It is certainly bending the truth. I think only a stupid person would try and defend it.

P.S. I’ve personally been to Ukraine and also know people who are currently there. So I’ll take my first person account over you or you’re purposely misleading article.

Here’s what you need to know- consortium news in 2016, the website was listed by PropOrNot as a “Russian propaganda outlet,” a claim Consortium News strongly disputes, arguing it challenges mainstream narratives and exposes bias in media.

Article really is totally bias towards Russia and leaves out many well documented facts or any facts that would take away from the Russian narrative that Russian is the victim.

Interesting to read for the sole fact it gives you insight into what the Russian propaganda machine is pumping out.

Unfortunately it seems like the dev has abandoned his app. I also used Sync for reddit and was happy to pay for the Lemmy version. Money down the drain. At best it seems that there will be updates every 18 to 24 months, maybe if at all. This may have been fine on reddit but Lemmy is constantly being updated and changing. So the app is more often then not broken or missing functionality in some.way. Honest answer is to find another app and donate to another developer.

When connected through wireguard can you access anything on the local network?

Also sometimes if you’re on an LAN trying to vpn into itself you get weird network issues. Does this issue also happen when you’re on another network and vpning back?

Also there’s a lot of great videos on YouTube to set this up things like Lawrence systems and network Chuck.

Not exactly sure what the issue is here but gave you the up vote for visability and hopefully someone smarter then me will know.

As mentioned backblaze is a good resource as they extensively look into this very question. What I’ve noticed in practice is that all hard drives are pretty reliable these days. If they fail they usually fail early in the first 6 months. Regardless of what you go with always have a back up.

This is not a trolly problem. Insurance companies are companies ir they are designed to maximize profit. That is the problem. The objective of insurance companies is to make a profit not save people’s lives.

Just honestly asking Im not a statistician. From a lay person looking high level this seems weird. The conclusion also does not match up with insurance prices that I’ve personally seen nor correspond with my experience.

I’m here for discussion not trying to put anyone down. Could someone just explain to me what I’m missing. No need to downvote. So if you take a non random sample of data how can you extrapolate that out so much? Does this data line up with other people’s data? What am I missing?

I think a lot of people would disagree with you about X. Objectively he bought the company for $44B and now it’s worth $9B that’s a huge loss. Most people attribute the decline to his “efficiency” measures. Basically losing all the good talent in his company causing a significant decline in users ( because of quality of service). His running of Twitter I think would be a better example of a failure.

That aside hypothetically even if X was doing well - How would the strategy / approach he used in a public company be good for government. These are two very different places?

A better question would be do you have any examples of him actually creating efficiencies? I don’t mean this in a condescending way but he did do a great job with Tesla but basically no where else. Every time he goes out of his wheelhouse it seems to end in disaster? Honestly I don’t follow him but it’s impossible not to hear about him. So can you elaborate on what his successes were and how’d that translate into making the government more efficient?

There are approximately 250 million cars on the road and they only used data from 8 million? That’s 3% of cars on the road to extrapolate into all the cars on the road. Seems like a huge flaw especially since we didn’t know how they got that subset. All seems like click bait as most articles related to Tesla are…

Another good way / better way to see what cars are dangerous are insurance rates. Since insurance companies take in way more data than 8M cars when determining rates.

Okay a lot going on here and not really a lot of information

First thing I would check is does your motherboard have error lights? Even my computer thats 20 years old has lights that flash in patterns as booting. You use this to find out which part of the booting sequence failed, power, ram, video card, CPU etc. Find out which motherboard you have and find the owners manual. If you have SLI available it’s an expensive motherboard and most likely has this feature.

Second, double check everything is plugged into the motherboard, ram all cables etc. Something may have shaken loose?

Might be worth physically inspecting the video card. That you could boot up once makes me think this failed. Maybe a capacitor on the video cap exploded or got knocked off.

Lastly try and take the 1080 out of your girlfriends computer and see if you can boot with that. This would help narrow down issues?

One more thing check if you have an igpu. Something may have failed and the motherboard switched to on board graphics. They’ll be extra vga/dvi/HDMI ports on the back. Your lack of video could just be from having your display plugged into the wrong port. So try to hook up into any video out put there.

Also perplexity, chat gpt and Gemini can be helpful in trouble shooting.

Godspeed

This is just sad. Whether she lied about McDonald’s or not has no bearing at all on who I will vote for in the coming election. In the grand scheme of things this is meaningless. In fact if this is literally all that can be dug up about Harris it kind of speaks highly of her.

At the end of the day we all lose cause essentially elections are coming down to whoever is the lesser of two evils and not someone you stand behind.

Docker as mentioned above is great especially if you’re going down the homelab rabbit hole. You’ll find it really useful to get familiar with for future projects.

Another alternative is to install DietPi. It’s an operating system for a raspberry pi. It has all these programs you mentioned with install scripts including docker and installing (and updating) is as easy as checking a box. Also has a pretty good community in case you run into an edge case.

Have you looked into maybe getting a shield and changing out the launcher? It’s a great emulator and will play any video file thrown at it. Worth looking into if you can’t find any sbc alternative.

Ah falling down the rabbit hole. If you’re only looking to transcode videos stay away from the graphics card. Look into Intel quick sync. Newer Intel cpus can transcode over a dozen 4k streams at a time using little power. However the next issue depends on what operating system you want to use, Windows, Linux, docker container or proxmox to run Plex/emby/jellyfin. They all come with their own issues/caveats to actually getting quick sync to work. However each is well documented. Learning is the fun part. I went down a similar route ended up with a nuc12pro running proxmox running a whole bunch of stuff but primarily used for Plex running in an lxc container. They are small powerful and don’t use a lot of power and importantly also well documented.

Yep alot slower. You can Google it but you aren’t the first person to have this problem.
