  • It might be the old motherboard and chipset. If they don’t have good speed they won’t be able to keep up with the bitrate or bandwidth necessary for streaming. Old chipsets weren’t made for it since it wasn’t a thing years ago. Just to name one component, newer PCI express busses are sometimes 10 to 100 times faster than older formats (like PCI-X). For example, PCIe 8 doubles the speed of PCIe 7 that is barely 3 years old, imagine compared to even older versions. This is necessary to keep up with internet modems and the typical speeds and ping times required for game streaming with minimum lag.

    I always took it more as a sermon on defeatism and belief in one’s own prowess. The quote can be misleading out of context. But if you remember the entire scene, Luke is in a very negative mood. Saying over and over that he can’t lift the X-wing, that it is impossible, what is the point, it is different from lifting small rocks, etc. Yoda is trying to shift Luke’s point of view. There’s no difference between the small feat and the large feat, only that he doesn’t believe himself capable enough to do it. Yoda instead appeals to determination. Do it, failure is not even believing in doing it in the first place—remember the quote is not “success or fail”, it is “do or do not”. Lack of confidence and faith in the force is what is holding Luke back. The quote comes as a response for Luke going “ok, I’ll try” in a completely defeated way. Suggesting he already decided he will fail. Thus Yoda’s scolding, no, don’t try, do it, full send, believe. The unspoken corollary being, if you do it and fail, then just do it again, harder and using what you learned.

    After Yoda demonstrates that it was possible, after all, Luke says “I don’t believe it”, and Yoda responds “that is why you fail”. The whole point is that believing himself incapable is what is holding Luke back, you have to believe and do the thing. Else you’ll always fail. You suck at playing the violin? well, do it anyway, that’s the only way you’ll get good at playing the violin. Saying I can’t play the violin will only set you up for eternal failure and you will never do it.

    It is poignant because the film actually ends in a sort of defeat. The empire seems all powerful and impossible to oppose, but they do it anyway. Afterwards Han Solo is in carbonite, Luke was severely wounded, losing an hand. Hoth is lost, cloud city betrayed them. But instead of being downtrodden and defeated, they end up hopeful and ready to do it again, to face the empire and save their friends. Because they believe in themselves and the force. It is like, the point of the movie.

    But if your roommate says he isn’t a thief, however he always hangs around with the local gang and continuously brings used stuff that he has no way of legally acquiring since he doesn’t even have a job. I don’t know man, you have to start asking questions.

    Mike is not a nazi, he just goes to the nazi bar because he likes the beer.








  • It wasn’t. It just copied slack when it was becoming popular in the dev work world with a marketing blitz. It coincided with team speak sudden death. Slack did most of the marketing and discord bandwagoned on it as the fun slack for video games. Which in essence was just “what if IRC but with voice chat rooms.”

    Video game support wasn’t part of Discord intent until people started using it for it. Then they hacked the UX nightmare that is their solution for something the app was never meant to do.





  • Because then you’re just describing Audacity. The concerning feature has to be intentionally activated by the user. And if you download and build it yourself then that part of the code isn’t even accessible. You hace to modify the code to activate it before you build it. I’m actually glad with the way they handled it. They listen to the user base and if you follow tantacrul he regularly consults changes with the users.


  • Ok listen. That is the way governments want you to think in order to get away with erasing your right to privacy. It’s the old “I have nothing to hide” argument.

    But here’s the thing. You have a butthole. I have a butthole. Everyone in the planet has a butthole. Having a butthole is nothing to be ashamed of, it is not a crime to have a butthole. No one will prosecute you for having a butthole. But that doesn’t mean it is ok for the government to see everyone’s butthole. That’s your right to privacy.

    If you want to protect children, you turn to social scientists to understand the problems and identify the ways in which to catch and prosecute offenders. Weaponizing surveillance on everyone in order to catch a very tiny percentage of population who might be committing a crime is hurting everyone.

    Privacy is not about empowering pedos, it is about protecting everyone’s rights. Erode one right and you erode all rights. Once the system is in place, then political surveillance to destroy democracy and install fascism is what follows.

    Ironically, the global fascism is currently run by pedophiles.


  • I also tried tailscale in a docker container as a subnet handler and realized I was out of my depth. Net engineering is abstract and hard. There’s a reason there are pros making bank just doing that for big corps.

    Followed a way simpler setup. Now tailscale runs on the server bare metal and podman handles the routing automatically. I just use the magicDNS address given by tailscale and everything just works as intended. All my services are available, and apps run no issue, no matter where I am as long as I’m connected to tailscale. I will make the setup more complex as I learn more and acquire the need for more features. But so far this has met all my expectations.
