2·5 days agoVivaldi is basically just old opera without all the bullshit.
1·5 days agoIt’s a bit of a sticking point in Australia which is becoming more and more of a ‘two-speed’ society. Foxtel is for the rich classes, it caters to the right wing. Sky News is on Foxtel.
These eSafety directives killing access to youtube won’t affect those rich kids so much, but for everyone else it’s going to be a nightmare.
My only possible hope out of this is that maybe, Parliament and ACMA (Australian Communications and Media Authority, TV standards) decide that since we need a greater media landscape for kids and they can’t be allowed to have it online, that maybe more than 3 major broadcasters could be allowed.
It’s not a lack of will that stops anyone else making a new free-to-air network, it’s legislation, there are only allowed to be 3 commercial FTA broadcasters in any area.
I don’t love Youtube or the kids watching it, it’s that the alternatives are almost objectively worse. 10 and 7 and garbage 24/7 and 9 is basically a right-wing hugbox too.
‘Cable TV’ (ie. Foxtel, Newscorpse’s own) is extremely expensive and only the very wealthy get it.
The vast majority of Australian households have Free-to-Air only. Which is the 3 major commercial networks (7- SevenWest Media, 9 -Fairfax and 10 -CBS/Paramount), ABC (State owned broadcaster) and SBS (semi-state owned, allowed to run advertisements, caters to foreign language broadcasting)
South Australia it depends on the Award (like a default contract for a particular kind of work, it sets minimum conditions)
But at a bare minimum, if you’re working at a shift of 4 hours or more, you’re required to be given a 15 minute paid tea break.
If you’re working 5 hours or more, Add a 30 minute unpaid lunch/dinner break.(*minimum, 1 hour max if scheduled - max as otherwise it’s really just split shifts)
ABC Kids is great if you’ve only got kids under 5.
It just stays on all day, it’s generally all good content (except the petulant Peppa Pig)
But if you’ve got kids a bit older than that - your options are none and none. ABC really doesn’t do programming for schoolage and teenage kids anymore.
Right now for example - 5:54PM Adelaide Time, we’ve got Kangaroo Beach followed by Octonauts on ABC Kids, great for the under 5s.
But the rest of the channels of ABC are… Antiques Roadshow and ABC News… There is programming for under 5s and over 60s. Nothing inbetween.
CIA plant wants Australian children to only watch broadcast television and not access the internet until they’re 16.
No Youtube, No Netflix, No Fortnite - Broadcast TV only.
Imagine how much potassium they could export with direct access to the GZ Ocean?
Edit: And Russia would have warm water ports! Ukraine War averted!

Hardware RAID is dead.
-
They’re no faster than Software RAID today
-
They’re vendor and often model locked to a particular make or model of card (so if your card goes bust, so does your array, where software options you can migrate the entire machine to a completely new one, as long as the disks are good so is your data)
-
ZFS wants access to individual disks anyway
Check which raid card your Dell shipped with, if it’s a PERC H200 or H310, you can flash it to IT mode to make it work as a plain HBA. If it’s a PERC 700, you’re SOL on IT mode. I’m pretty sure it can expose vdrives, but that’s probably more trouble than getting a cheap HBA at that point.

16·18 days agoCome to the Fruit side!
Just wait until it’s the Ibis.
Those fuckers can steal a chip with range.
so anyway, I started tariffing.
That’s what material design was from the beginning…
try mStream, it has folder view and is very light on the server side.
5·1 month agoThe problem is actually kwin-wayland, kwin5 on X11 was very frgual, where both kwin5 and kwin6 on Wayland eat vram for breakfast. Right now my desktop is using 4535MiB, the biggest user being plasmashell itself at 1120MiB
It’s not actually a wayland problem though and If I really wanted I’d of dropped back to X11 when I was still running plasma5 - but Wayland brings more solutions to the table than problems.
Linux on system RAM: I sip
Linux on VRAM post-Wayland: BIG GULPS
I used to be able to run a desktop on less than 1GB VRAM, now with 16GB it fills up starts misbehaving.
mstream just uses folders, so you can organise however you want.
Apps for Android and iOS, webui for everything else. Does basic (single setting for whole server) transcoding if you wish (I don’t for mp3/m4a/ogg sets, I have them on a second server instance, mstream is very light)
