  • Longer as in, more questions.

    Anecdotally, I've noticed if you choose a "wrong" answer on some questions, it'll stop the survey and just pay you whatever rate per question answered.

    It seems the first question is usually a litmus test to see if you're answering reasonably truthfully or not, such as "Which of these did you most recently visit?" with some answers being bogus names or businesses not located around you, and one correct answer based on location data Google already has.

  • Will a Razer Blade 15 play nicely with Linux?

    I'm looking at buying a used Razer Blade 15 to replace my HP laptop running MintOS. I WANT to just be able to take my old 1Tb SSD out and slap it on the Razer, but I doubt drivers will work.

    But if i just throw a new OS on there, will it work fine?

  • Tim Walz financial disclosure. He owns no property, no stock, and no race horses.
  • This makes sense... I'm guessing he's looking to upgrade into the Naval Observatory.

  • Its odd to me that he doesn't own property. Like....not even his own house?

  • Honestly, if a product last forever I wouldn't mind it on a subscription model. The company needs to make money in order to, at the minimum, continue supporting the product.

    Then comes the costs of support staff, R&D for future product developments, etc etc.

    That price should not include massive yearly bonuses for the top execs.

    Saturdays and Sundays. The rest of them are weekdays.

    People are having trouble following Harris’s campaign Twitter account

  • The thing is, the Dems CANT abuse the power. If they do, they'll get crucified by both sides for it. And that's what the Republicans want. They're simultaneously making it so they'll stay in power when its their turn, and daring the Dems to do it knowing it won't go well for them. Its a win-win in their eyes. Especially while you have some of your people sitting on the highest court in the country.

    And this is the flaw with a two-party system. If one party decides to play dirty, the other is either forced to play just as dirty to keep up, (devolving into anarchy) or trying to play by the rules and getting blocked by the other team at every turn.

  • Beginner in need of real help!

    I've been interested in self-hosting for a while, but didn't really know where to start. I've never messed with Linux before and wanted to jump ship from Windows since Microsoft decided to start putting ads everywhere. I came across this post [https://lemmy.world/post/6542543] which was exactly what I was looking for to start, and seemed like a straight-forward guide. I have two laptops, one I want to act as my media server with Docker and the other as my everyday device. Except I've been met with setback after setback from the start. I tried installing Ubuntu Server on the media server laptop but just could not get it up and running. I was suggested to try using a more beginner-friendly distro, so I went with Mint. I also liked the idea of a GUI I can mess around with.

    Docker was a success, but then I got to the Adguard part and when I try the docker-compose.yml step, grub just hangs. Decided to skip that part and go onto Jackett. Nope, more errors. Tried Prowlarr, different errors.

    I don't want to give up on this because its something I really want to get going for my media, home automation, cameras, etc etc. But I feel like I'm flying blind here.

    I have a lot of homework to do to learn Linux, but is there a different, beginner-friendly guide out there for me to follow for now?

    -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-~.

    Edit: I appreciate everyone's comments. Although I have no Linux experience, I know my way around Windows pretty well. I understand file systems and in one of my errors that was asked, I was getting a "No File or Directory exists" error. I edited the username to fit my what I have, but was still getting the error. I even created a new user named Prowlarr when attempting the Powlarr install to follow the steps word-for-word, no luck. It got frustrating so I gave up for the day.

    I admit I do have a lot of learning to do, and I am really grateful some of you have provided start-points for my Linux journey. I'm also grateful for the "Self-hosting For Dummies" recommendations, like Yunohost and YAMS. I plan on looking over all of this info today to get a solution up for now and start my path down the Linux rabbithole. Its kinda exciting to start embarking on something like this.

    Anyway, thanks to everyone who gave me great feedback!

    A blind man walks into a bar.

    He has a seeing eye dog with him.

    Once he gets to the bar, he grabs his dog by the tail and starts swinging it around over his head.

    Everyone's horrified and the bartender finally yells out and asks, "What the hell are you doing?!"

    The blind man says, "Just taking a look around."

    Jbl 400 Volume issue

    Since there's no proper JBL community on Lemmy, figured I would post here.

    I just bought a pair of JBL Quantum 400 headsets for my Xbox One to replace the Steel Series that started to fall apart. The issue is, the JBLs aren't as loud. Headset volume is all the way up, all obvious audio volume settings on the Xbox are all the way up. I can't seem to figure out how else to raise the volume.

    Any JBL experts care to help?

    Is there a community for talking about heavy topics?

    There are a couple of heavy things running through my head I kinda want to get off my chest (nothing deeply personal though) and discuss with people. It's more than just casual conversation, so I can't post there.

    Are there any alternatives?

    Thoughts on adding a bathroom

    I have a 4bd/2ba that I want to add another bathroom to. There is a small "office" (it's not big enough to be considered another room) that I would like to convert to said bathroom. The two existing bathrooms are right next to each other in the rear of the house and the water cutoff is in front of the property, on the sidewalk.

    What considerations would I need to worry about with a project like that? We don't want to go septic.

    There's a lot of cats on this sub (are we calling these subs?), so here's a pic of my doggo after an over-ripe mango fell on his head.

    Unfortunately, he passed years ago. But its my favorite picture of my favorite pup. Plus, this is my first post on Lemmy! So I feel its appropriate!
