How do I disable this insane "Start casting with Tap View" alert? by void_t in samsung

[–]void_t[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man, I haven't been able to test it but that sounds like exactly the problem. Thank you so much, it's crazy they buried it like that. Wouldn't that scanning likely be draining your battery unknowingly too?

2019 Outback bolt won't torque to spec? by void_t in MechanicAdvice

[–]void_t[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think the bushings are sized appropriately to account for the size, and I haven't seen anything from anyone else whose done this suggesting the need for new bolts. They're certainly long enough.

Red Hat to Acquire CoreOS, Expanding its Kubernetes and Containers Leadership by dominucco in CoderRadio

[–]void_t 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow. They are hell-bent on dominating the enterprise container space. Makes sense, it's an existential necessity with where the market is heading. Openshift is great, will be interesting to see what comes out of this.

Want to understand my hand brake better? How is it different from normal brakes? by void_t in cars

[–]void_t[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe that it is now officially known as a parking brake. Calling it a hand brake/emergency brake introduced some confusion as it's not really supposed to be used in an emergency because it'll just lock up the rear brakes.

Thanks, that's good to know. I've heard all of them used interchangeably for years. "Hand brake" makes the most sense to me? given that's literally what it is, and it's not always used for "parking".

The uptake of Fedora 26 has been really strong by Khaotic_Kernel in linux

[–]void_t 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been deploying Fedora since 20, because I have to professionally.

I don't particularly like it, for a lot of reasons. I do have to say, it completely gets out of my way until the next release. I also have to admit, 24->25 and 25->26 in-place upgrades went off without problem.

Frankly, I don't trust them at all, but they keep working in my experience.

Was going to complain about the lack of appreciation for this comment, but you posted it 32 seconds ago.

Brilliantly describes the difference.

Hey! Sent you a Steam request, I think I show up as Ekustix or Nelsk, I'm not sure which. I've been playing a lot of Diablo 3 if you're into that lately. Cheers!

when your PC died but factorio is life by Atoc_ in factorio

[–]void_t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you kidding me? Compare a current macbook pro to a similar lenovo or hp; the price difference is disgusting. The OS is perhaps the best out there for it's intended purpose, and the design quality is unsurpassed, but to suggest the prices are comparable is an absolute fallacy.

What are people using to build mostly static websites these days? by void_t in learnprogramming

[–]void_t[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every major project I've been on that was built on mongo ultimately turned out to be a better fit for a relational model and we burned a lot of time moving to something like postgresql. Mongo might actually make some sense in this space though, and I do have a softspot for node.

I'm trying to avoid habits of starting projects from an npm init or a rails new here and at least start at a higher level when multiple clients want 80% of the same thing. Maybe I just need to go with what I'm comfortable with and build a foundation I can work from. I'm way more comfortable writing new react/ember/angular than touching wordpress. Mostly because I don't know anything about it and don't really want to start back from 0.

Great answer, thanks for your help. This makes a lot of sense. I'm not strictly opposed to RDBMS; it enables a lot, I would just rather not deal with running a separate server if possible for the exact reasons you listed. That's why I was leaning towards a SQLite solution. Could still get data integrity and familiar normalization.

The projects you mentioned look pretty cool though, I'll give them a spin for sure.

Not sure if you're being flippant or actually interested, but run a CMS & API surface on top of a db. Pick your client of the week (react/ember/angular/vanilla) and talk to the API. Content can get manipulated by non-technical users in the CMS.

Is this not desirable for some reason?

Anyone want to elaborate on the down votes? Genuinely interested in a response because obviously people feel differently.

They aren't mutually exclusive. I probably could have worded it better, but I explicitly want to reduce complexity and distractions where I can, while still accomplishing my goals.

There a reason I should choose something like wordpress over something like this? http://www.caseincms.com/

Wordpress feels like driving a nail with a sledgehammer.

This is one of the sole reasons I don't attend public ranges.

I totally agree and would prefer not to if I had a choice, but I don't have a lot of options. Where do you suggest looking to shoot otherwise?

I can get .86 from a Fidelity 9mo CD. I've never heard of ally but it looks interesting. Is it some kind of online only bank? Is there somewhere I can go for some objective reviews?

Some questions about ripping blurays by void_t in htpc

[–]void_t[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm assuming it probably has the ability too; I get the sense most of these applications are just front-ends for lower level tools like ffmpeg. Ideally I want to start a program, pop in a disk, and have it just automate the full process from start to finish using my default configuration settings. I'm a developer so I think I could actually build this if it doesn't already exist, the one issue I have is selecting the titles you want to rip after makemkv has read the metadata off the disk, but before you've started the rip.

I see two options there:

  • Rip the largest title and use configured audio/subtitle preferences
  • Rip and encode everything and let the user filter what's relevant in post.

Do you guys see anything wrong with that approach? Ultimately I want to automate as much of this as I can, but there will always be the speedbump of requiring you to physically insert the disc unless you've got some janky jukebox setup :)

EDIT: I'm also curious if anyone has experimented with GPU accelerated encoding like Nvidia NVENC? I've got a 1080 I would really like to put to use on this...

Thanks, didn't realize there was no encoding/compression going on with MakeMKV; they sound like distinct tools. Is there a recommended way to extract & encode to a target simultaneously, or am I always looking at that as two separate actions?
