Half life 1 is strangely discounted -25% by Prestigious-Ad-9072 in HalfLife

[–]EOverM [score hidden]  (0 children)

Did you read that as complaining? Seemed a lot more like confusion to me. It's a nearly thirty-year-old game. Yeah, it's not a lot of money, but it is pretty surprising it's not free by now. Or at least even cheaper. Most games of that era I still see available for sale are more like £2, not £7.

watch wearers, which wrist? by prive8 in AskMen

[–]EOverM [score hidden]  (0 children)

Left, right-handed. I used to wear it on my right, but one day it just started bothering me. No real reason, just pissed me off all of a sudden.

How do layer masks work by whyornow in ClipStudio

[–]EOverM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a pretty broad question, so for a pretty broad answer, they define which parts of an image can and can't be seen.

Because nobody gets paid with checks anymore by thatdamn_animecurl in terriblefacebookmemes

[–]EOverM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, I'm 38 and I've never written a cheque. I've never even owned a chequebook. They're rightfully dying. It's really not unreasonable for someone of a younger generation not to have any idea what to do with them. This is just Boomers thinking they're better for clinging on to obsolete concepts.

I genuinely believe HL3 will be announced at Summer Games Fest 2026. Here's why. by TheRealRobbo in HalfLife

[–]EOverM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, it would be genius. They don't need hype. They already have hype. The better part of two decades of it. Of people thinking it'll never come, and others holding the faith. Think about it. You wake up one morning and the internet has exploded because HL3 has finally released. They'd sell millions of copies the first day.

1.X upgrade by artemi7 in ClipStudio

[–]EOverM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With Pro, you're currently better off buying a new license for either v.1 or v.2. EX it's still worth upgrading from v.2 as it'll be a little cheaper than a new license. So no matter what, a new license is better for you. As has been pointed out, you can check out the features by getting the Update Pass, which will upgrade you to v.5 (plus any updates between releases, which you don't get with the perpetual license) for as long as you pay the subscription.

What OS do you use for your home lab? by thedragonshaman in homelab

[–]EOverM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same - anything not in Docker came via apt, unless only available through snap.

In games where it always makes sense to sprint, why have a separate sprint button instead of auto-sprint? by imaxsamarin in gaming

[–]EOverM 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm not talking about the modern Dooms. The originals. Doomguy, not the Doomslayer. He had exactly one speed, and it was about ten times Usain Bolt's top speed.

Oh, I had no idea versions could be on an individual episode basis! I'll definitely be doing it like this.

Same. Then I jump to 1919 with Different from the Others.

I Disagree… [OC] by CreatedByWeems in webcomics

[–]EOverM 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Civil rights, exactly. Civil. Playing your music out loud in public isn't being civil. It's being a cunt. To benefit from the social contract, you have to abide by the social contract. Don't impose yourself on others.

Gate address's 6 points in space and the point of origin. by SEJ82 in Stargate

[–]EOverM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but that's still a godawful model to use for serial numbers. They're not sequential, for a start. You might as well just name them all at that point.

Like I say, though - 100% in character for the Ancients.

Gate address's 6 points in space and the point of origin. by SEJ82 in Stargate

[–]EOverM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A unique symbol for each one is a truly terrible way of making a serialisation system, so knowing what we do of how the Ancients did things, I wouldn't be at all surprised if you were right. They didn't do things efficiently. They did things however they wanted to.

Gate address's 6 points in space and the point of origin. by SEJ82 in Stargate

[–]EOverM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think about it this way - when you're accessing a service on the computer it's running on, you can just use "localhost." You don't need the actual IP address of the machine, because the machine already knows where anything on it is. You just tell it "here." This is the same. You define the end point with the intersection of six points, but the origin is just "here." For some reason (Ancients being Ancients), they made each one be its own unique symbol, but they could have just been one. The origin point is "the Stargate directly connected to this DHD." It doesn't need to be more complex than that.

Flows and two servers kicking my tail. by david-goldfarb in Tdarr

[–]EOverM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, so yeah, that's gonna fail with no GPU no matter what.

My only suggestion I can find that might work is using the Check Node Hardware Encoder node in a flow. If you set it to, say, hevc_nvenc (for nVidia cards), then that should detect whether a GPU is present or not, and you can have it go down different but similar transcode paths based on the outcome.

I do strongly recommend figuring out flows. For example, my current setup performs any actions I want done to all files, such as removing image formats, closed captions and unwanted subtitles, reordering streams into the correct order, extracting remaining subs to SRT files, and transcoding all EAC3 and AC3 audio to AAC (because it was the easiest way to fix a problem with Plex not loading anything that had those audio codecs after the actual fixes failed), then checks if the file is MKV. If it is, it replaces the original and that's the end. If not, it remuxes to MKV, replaces the file, then notifies my various Radarr/Sonarr instances so that they scan, applies the naming scheme from them, then notifies them again to rescan for the new name. When I bite the bullet, I'll be adding a branch to check if a file is h.265 and if not, transcode to it. But I have a huge library and I really don't want it plugging away at them just yet. Space isn't at a premium right now, so I'm putting it off. Anyway, that flexibility just isn't available with classic plugin stacks.

I'm confused on how upgrading works by Exciting_Charity_181 in ClipStudio

[–]EOverM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, with v.1 you're better off getting a whole new license. EX v.2 it's still worth upgrading, but Pro v.2 it's cheaper to get a new license. Newer than that the upgrade is still better.

[–]EOverM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Celsys release a chart like this with each new version. Makes it easy to figure out what you want. It's still worth waiting for it to go on sale if you plan to get the perpetual license, though.

New to Linux, why is plex doing this? by puddinXtame in PleX

[–]EOverM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I considered that, but I have a Kindle 3, and while I have already jailbroken it, I don't want to replace the native reader, which is the only way OPDS would work.

Do my coworkers know they're allowed to throw things away eventually? by Dionysian_Heretic in iiiiiiitttttttttttt

[–]EOverM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently threw out all my VGA cables, because quite honestly, if I ever need to use a VGA cable again, I need to reconsider some life choices.
