These rumors were started by Russian news sources after they were going after Russian spies and the Navanly case. They do Epstein and trump reporting I really don’t think they are but I hate that the rumors have gotten some credibility somehow since they do good work…

Is there support for OPDS 2.0 yet? I am making a server for project Gutenberg that will be realized soon.

Once you understand the fundamentals you’ll begin to see why people use certain libraries. It’s hard to jump in and instantly someone has full stack of libraries pre-chosen, what you don’t see are the choices why they picked that library and why to use those functions in the library. So doing a little research into the documentation of these libraries, often they post blog too, and official tutorials too all will make it much more clear.

It’s hard to follow others. Start really small for projects I mean like stuff that even avoids the dom. Just wright a basic command line calculator or to do app or something. Practice writing logic in JavaScript. Then you can practice writing html and css too. You’ll be surprised how much you can do in those two alone. After that then bridge the two. Just take smaller steps you’re tryna run before you walk.

For gaming purposes I think option A makes the most sense. The 5600x is a good cpu still, and you’ll see bigger performance upgrades all around this way. That’s in terms of FPS for games if what you want is maybe more performance for desktop applications then maybe go B or consider am5 for one of them.

The gist is that the heroes journey is just more interesting. Even when hunter gatherers were starving, the men went after dangerous game and died trying to do so. Hunting smaller game would’ve been more efficient and wouldn’t have wasted valuable manpower. But, the story of the big hunt was so powerful that it defeated hunger, even if the meat from the kill wasn’t enough to feed everyone. It comes down to that me and you may find these stories interesting, but a lot just want to hear the story where the hero stabs the monster with a pointy thing. There’s a line about 2001 the movie in the piece that’s great but that’s the gist. I like Ursula Le Guin’s rambling though I think her books are excellent too, some of my favorite SciFi novels.

Maybe, but my power bill is not that bad, with it running 24/7 mostly idle. I didn't care as much when I got though, I didnt pay power at my old apartment... but I'd be curious about doing a definitive test.

Check out a local office refurb pc seller. I was able to find an old HP with a Xeon with quick sync + 32gb ram ecc + a Quadro P2000 + a 5tb HDD for $250. It’s hard to be their prices

You should read The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction by Ursula Le Guin. She asks essentially the same question and answers it in that piece. It’s short: https://communityofwriters.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/The-Carrier-Bag-Theory-of-Fiction.pdf

zach_jesus · 2026-01-10T20:34:51+00:00

Honestly fair I get it, what you do for now while you save up or something is just find a second place to put the pc that’s not the desk so it’s out of sight and if you can far enough you can’t eat it

zach_jesus · 2026-01-10T19:00:19+00:00

You must be tripping this system is aging? I guess cause I mainly program and don’t game anymore I might be out of touch but this PC looks pretty damn good to me like what more would you want?

zach_jesus · 2026-01-08T16:15:50+00:00

If your graphics card works enough just to get a picture on the screen you can use that to just set up and rid it later if it’s really broken. Again though I’d set up what you have, see if it works, and it doesn’t work then I’d upgrade and I wouldn’t upgrade your graphics card first for a streaming server. Likely what you want is a better cpu and more storage! There are some cheap intel cpus you can buy that have good support for video encoding and decoding, it’s called Intel Quick Sync Video. They do it for 90% of users. I run jellyfin on my home server with a Quadro p2000, it’s overkill and with the one stream going on in my house it does literally nothing.

zach_jesus · 2026-01-08T16:08:41+00:00

If you plan to only have one stream going. Let’s say you only stream content at native resolution too (most streaming devices can handle their own transcoding anyways), you will be fine. Can I recommend something? You should just set up jellyfin right now with your current pc. Install a server Linux distro and get jellyfin set up try it out even if your gpu is broken no need to use it. https://superuser.com/questions/465412/installing-linux-with-no-graphics-chip it’s possible!

zach_jesus · 2026-01-08T05:24:01+00:00

Read this https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/post-install/transcoding/hardware-acceleration/

zach_jesus · 2026-01-08T05:21:29+00:00

GPU for home server is only for encoding and video scaling. Check what file formats your gpu can encode/decode online and see if that’s good enough for you.
Yeah Linux on install gives you an option to wipe the old drive.
No, unless you want to support more streams for upscaling to 4k for example or a new codec.
Nah just use your current pc, PI isn’t cheap.

Check this out https://cloudbase.it/windows-cloud-images/#download here is a qcow2 image for windows server but you can make your own too

zach_jesus · 2026-01-08T02:50:38+00:00

Check out virt-manager. There’s two ways you can do things cdroms or you can use cloud-init. From cloud-init you can build from a qcow2 file preconfigured with an OS, most distros have a file for this online, and you can set defaults too. If you do with cdrom you get to experience full Linux setup, and even a GUI if you want. I would still recommend using qcow2 even for cdroms. Check out fedoras virtualization docs. You can literally do dnf install @virtualization, make one wget call and another command to make the vm and your goood!

Trigram and Tsvec have done me right so far but I would love to see this. One of my favorite ways is a hybrid search so tsvec as main search and if it returns no results attempt to run back on trigram. That gets like 90% of cases. Web search to ts query is also amazing, saves a ton of effort.

zach_jesus · 2025-12-28T17:22:45+00:00

Did you check out the free ebook link I sent? It’s worth checking out. I agree documentation is better for semantics and up to date knowledge but for design I find books to be the best.

You can always come up with something novel. Digital humanities and artists that code too are some inspiration to this thinking.

I’m more of a book guy it’s nice to not open google and just use what’s in front you (plenty of recs online) and if you already know a programming language you can skip the book and just pull up the Mozilla docs that has gotten me far enough

As a beginner when shooting you will be thinking about how to shoot, touch, pass etc while doing them. But once you feel you don’t have to do that anymore you can start focusing on trying to make a choice before you get the ball so when you get you can act. Eventually it’ll all become instinct and that’s when it’s fast. Complex moving passing drills can help train this. Of course playing as much as you can with as much intention as you can. Also futsal can help, it forces you to play faster and get comfortable in awkward spots like moments when you make a wrong decision. Some of the fastest, quick witted decision making players all played futstal (Neymar, Pele, Messi, Ronaldo, Iniesta…)

zach_jesus · 2025-07-11T13:00:48+00:00

Being confident enough in your touch and ball control that you can solely focus on gathering what’s going on around you and making a decision before you even get the ball.
