  #Twitch is AMAZING at detecting #frustration! Their #Algorithm just showed me an #Ad, right after getting banned for seemingly/reasonably benign reasons. just a little issue, that could've been figured out by competent mods Twitch continues to be a hostile platform, where reason doesn't seem to count 1 single bit. Biz as usual, i guess. ...why do i even bother; i have amazing DJ sets at home - i haven't found Gelbar DJ in Jeff's thing, yet ..their Synthwave Workout Mixes are...

  One of my NVMe SSDs dropped out of several arrays, again. 👉 a Transcend MTE220S 256er As an IT guy myself, i've just rebooted the box. That made matters worse, because the dodgy SSD didn't enumerate (/dev/nvme*), and i was left with 3/4 SSDs, incorrectly enumerated. My #ZFS pools re-imported fine, albeit in a DEGRADED state. zpool replace is bullshit! 🤬 ..it NEVER wörks! I had to power-cycle the box, and zpool detach/remove, then add & resilver shit! SMART reports look fine! 🧵1...

  Let's conduct a #Stalker2 2.0.5 (#UnrealEngine 5.5?) experiment. I've just started #Steam, after ~10 h, and immediately, i get a 3.4gig #Shader pre-cache update. And another 1.5gig on top. I'd bet, when i start the game, it's gonna compile shaders, regardless. We'll see; i'll start a stopwatch - twice, launching the game with pre-cache vs. self-compiled/hot cache. Edit: +2 pics, all right, if it's not a content update, you "lose" only ~40 seconds on #Vul...

  Infinite diversity, in infinite combinations! This #StarTrek Vulcan proverb summarises what i want my #EU / #Europe to be/become. 🖖 We are very diverse, but we are driven by the European peace idea - like the Federation of Planets - we are stronger, together! Well, the authoritarian right-wingers of the #VonDerLeyen type keep fixing to undermine PROPER democratic procedure! Sneaking #ChatControl back in, at the last minute?! Also, FVCK Y0V - YOU were NOT elected for too-early vacations! 🤬

  WHY THE FUCK is #Mozilla #Thunderbird #Email client crashing (noping out / crash to desktop), when i click the reply button?! 🤬 I'm using the specimen via the #Manjaro #Linux repo - today/CURRENT version. This is the 2nd time, it nope-crashed within ~2 weeks! (afaik, there's been 1 update) Can someone fix this, please?! EMAIL app NEED to be reliable!

  I think, it's actually kinda funny that the #altRight #racist #OvertonWindow #Omarchy guy, DHH, collected 8(11?) million Vespuccistan bucks from several M|Billionairs, that will only BENEFIT our beloved virally licensed #FLOSS ecosystem. Even #Nazi money IS technically ALLOWED to use and contribute to #Linux and stuff, within the license - that's the actual deal. 😉 Sure, a few million bucks is a big deal - but it's not exactly a big deal - we all remain protected by our fave licenc...

  Did #Linux 7 (#Ubuntu Server 24.04) change anything regarding the #Realtek RTL8125 NIC driver (r8169)? I've never seen that in Linux 6.x.

  Of course there's a #Mastodon desktop client. The most relevant to me, in the #Manjaro #Linux repo, is #Tokodon.

  Fascinating, that this 7th gen Intel box, a HP EliteDesk 800 G3 SFF still receives firmware updates! #Ubuntu and #fwupd is pretty neat. This one updates #SecureBoot stuff, which i'm not using on this box. This box will be replaced soon - i'm leaving this decision to "the next guy" ...let's see how well this box re-sells, without RAM. 😅

  Fed up with unreliably enumerating devices on consumer/office grade platforms. I'm building a new #NAS for my #HomeLab. Ryzen 3 3100, Zen2 4c8t. Great multi-core perf boost, compared to my i5-7500. I get ECC capability, and an amazing upgrade path. I'll use one of those weird ASRock Rack B565D4-V1L ODM/OEM mobos, for 50 € on eBay. The x16 slot supports 4x4 bifurcation; ASRock Rack RB4M2 holds my NVMes. I'll keep the old 4x8 GB DDR4-2400 RAM, of course i will. 😅

  Also, THIS nonsense! WHY EXACTLY is #Steam downloading a gigabyte of shader pre-caches, despite the established #BestPractice of NOT interrupting #Shader #Compilation upon #Game startup? #Stalker2 WILL recompile those, locally, most likely. The Steam client is technically aware, that i'm using the #CachyOS flavour, and the PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 launch option. (Because i'm not aware of #AMD #FSR4 #WMMA mode #UpScale #FrameGen support in Valve Proton Experimental branch.) #Valv...

  The enemy of your enemy is NOT your friend! They're your ally, at best, unless you've actually been friends before! Also, the egg came 1st! Because the 1st ever animal, we humans would call a chicken, hatched out of an egg! My point; the problem isn't real, and we all should be friends.

  Hey @tagesschau, bitte sensibilisiert euch für Chinesische #Propaganda. Wenn Ihr, als öffentlich finanzierter Sender, in der wichtigen 20-Uhr Sendung über den Robotermarathon berichtet, sendet bitte DEN VOLLSTÄNDIGEN KONTEXT! Die Dinger sind jederzeit von einem Menschen ferngesteuert. Un wenn die nicht ferngesteuert sind, dann rennen die in Barrieren und fallen um. Ich würde Eure Sendung von vor ein paar Tagen tatsächlich #FakeNews nennen. siehe auch 👀👉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvWR8BG...

  It rubs me wrong-enough, that some try to rename #Timmy the humpback #whale. Afaik, Timmy came 1st! Trying to retcon this into calling the whale #Hope feels like religious #SocialMedia #Influencer #Bullshit! If only we had someone like #Spock, who could tell us how exactly the whale identifies himSELF. 🖖😉 ...maybe his actual name is Gerald, or Laxmi, or whatever.

  #MayDay #ErsterMai Was stimmt denn mit der @tagesschau nicht? Propagieren die heute wieder #Propaganda #NeuSprech, oder verpasste ich tatsächlich ein Memo? Der 1. Mai war schon immer ein sozialistisches Prunkstück, Solidarnosz und so - #Gewerkschaften. Was labert die Daubner da vom Ursprung in den USA? Als #Ossie und #Millennial, in Hamburg, erinnere ich mich anders! Der erste Mai hatte noch NIE irgendwas mit den AMIs zu tun! Das war schon immer irgendwas sozialistisch-gewerkschaftliches!

  You know what; instead of chasing the next social media endorphin kick, how about taking a step back? Just look at the world, and perhaps it could just FSCK OFF for a few hours. Just imagine how pleasant it would be, to snuggle up to your blanket, and think some happy thoughts. Mmgh, yummy snoozy happy thoughts - that's what i'll be having ... happy #MayDay, well, what's left of it. 🖖😃✊

  I'm quite impressed by what #Ukraine 🇺🇦 achieves, using modded FPV drones and other UAVs, against "the mighty #Russian 🇷🇺 military". Who'd have thought, that throwing over 1.4 million troops (a.k.a. humans or persons) into a wood chipper, for really rather un-postY2K-like reasons, would be one of the worst ideas, ever. I'm looking forward to reinvigorated contributions of #Europe 🇪🇺, in may-ish, when the fresh new government of #Hungary 🇭🇺 seizes to veto &...
