You unfortunately can’t teach something like this to someone who doesn’t even understand the consequences of it. Or care.

You can absolutely explain it and teach it and make people care. It's just not easy. I've only ever encountered uninformed "I have nothing to hide"-responses to equally lackluster throwaway explanations . It's a very difficult and abstract topic, it doesn't come naturally! Don't treat privacy concerns as equivalent to pointing out dirt on someone's clothes, treat it like calculus. Successfully conveying it requires time, conversation and didactics.

I personally nerver really understood the whole semantics debate that always unfolds in situations like this. What does it matter if a piece of software is truly libre or how it is licensed as long as the source code is available? Respecting a license is a choice. If you have the code you can fork it. Whether it's libre or not only influences your ability to put your real name under the fork, doesn't it?

That's an impressive project indeed.

And here all I can cynically think is "Great, finally a way to make the FP4 a bit more unwieldy and hard to hold with small hands, that had always been way too easy before!"

This is such a better use of their time and dollars versus improving their service to make it more attractive to customers.

Making their service more attractive to customers is precicesly what they're trying to do.

It's just that an advertising agency's customers are not the folk who watch, read or hear the ads, it's the folk who pay for the ads.

Well, shucks.

What do you think would be the minimum entry-point to adding a GPU then? I'm reluctant to adding a full sized double/triple-fan current gen GPU to the server because I don't want to increase its idle draw beyond reason.

 

Hi! While looking for an answer I stumbled upon this old reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/jellyfin/comments/107e03d/gt_710_vs_ryzen_7_3700x/

I unfortunately do not know how to interpret the information provided by nyanmisaka there.

Does "GT 710 doesn't support NVENC" mean that adding the older GPU wouldn't do anything to provide a performance boost to the server? Or only for videos encoded in a specific way? I.e. is there any point in keeping my passively-cooled GT710 in my server or should I just ditch it?

 

Now ever since I got a label printer I made it a habit to... well... label everything. It's been the a gamechanger in organizing my stuff.

This habit includes having a tiny label with my street address and mail address on most any item that I loan away or tend to regularly lug around with me as a general reminder of ownership. I forget about and lose stuff all the time, so this gives me some piece of mind with most of my medium-value little gadgets. I believe (and have experienced) that people are generally decent and will return lost stuff to me if it's easy for them to find out to whom it belongs.

Now it has occurred to me that this practice might be detrimental when applied to a smart cards in general and my Yubikeys in particular. After all, shouldn't a lost Yubikey be considered "tampered with/permanently lost" anyway, whether it's returned or not? And wouldn't an Email address on the key just increase the risk of some immediate abuse of the key's contents, i.e. GPG private keys, that would otherwise not be possible?

Or am I overhtinking this?
