No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why don't cars have a way to contact nearby cars like fictional spaceships do?
16·27 days agoImagine the giant trucks road raging because you’re in the left lane and only going +20 the speed limit. Or the old creeps hitting on teenagers.
What if we instead imagine the truck drivers politely asking you to move over? What if the ability to communicate freely with other drivers made the experience closer to walking in a crowd. I’m imagining something that allows all vehicles within a certain radius to hear one another so you can communicate with courtesy. I think a lot of road rage stems from our frustrations with our inability to communicate (and be held accountable) by the people around us.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•My first jellyfin setupEnglish
2·2 months agoYou’re correct. The Fire Stick would be a client. I currently use a Pi 4 as my server and it works great, but I use KODI instead of jellyfin. This means that nothing trys to transcode when I use it. However, my brother is able to connect to my server through Tailscale and he does some sort of GPU pass thru with a jellyfin container and as far as I know it works great.

3·2 months agoIf you’re looking for mini PC recommendations, I have been very happy with my Beelink Ser8. It was chosen specifically for handbrake encoding and is an order of magnitude faster than my underpowered decade old desktop.
Edit. I just reread your post saying that you don’t want to buy a mini PC so disregard that advice but if you want to stream to TVs on a budget, I am a big fan of the Fire Stick. If you get them on sale, they’re usually available for half the listed price (about $25 when I got them). You can get them on ebay if you don’t want to support Bozos. Currently they’re very easy to configure and they work great as long as you can get over the clunky menu design.

1·2 months agoYou may want to check out https://www.thewebernets.com/ blog posts. I use some of the recommend setups for my movies and most look great, but I do use subtitles which I think he mostly skips in his setups.

5·2 months agoI am just some rando but I think this poster may have meant tinymediamanager as opposed to tinymusicmanager. I use tinymediamanager and it’s great.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•The Daily Beast uses "Hot Mic" in a headline to describe someone saying things with a microphone in a known public place into known recordsEnglish
12·3 months agoThis guy thinks they had 100 FBI agents scrub diaper’s name from the files because he was a whistle blower? Surely the best way to prove his valiant role in this ordeal is to release the unredacted files, right?

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•[UPDATE: Fake] They made his car "cease & desist"English
702·4 months agoTotally reasonable. I wish every electronic device would brick itself if it heard you talking shit about it. People are too rude to toasters.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Both District of Columbus and Colombia are named after Cristobal Colon (Christopher Columbus) Does anyone know why they're spelled differently?
4·5 months agoIt’s because people associate colons with butt holes.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Can anyone recommend an extraordinarily comfortable reclining couch, in a mid-range price. It doesn't have to last me a lifetime but if I could get 10 years out of it, I think that would be fine
5·5 months agoLay-z-boy might be worth a look. I don’t have a couch but I have several reclining chairs. They’ve all held up well for 10 years and then some.

12·6 months agoSupposing Stargate technology exists, you could conceivably control an entire galaxy, but that is proposing the existence of technology incompatible with our best understanding of the universe. Realistically the solar system will probably be the limit of my empire.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Who are some people in powerful positions or 1%ers that are genuinely good people?
393·6 months agoI like Mark Cuban for the whole https://www.costplusdrugs.com/ thing he’s doing. I have no idea whether or not he’s a decent guy, but this is a decent thing to do, so I give him the benefit of the doubt.
I’d say virtually all Hispanic people have some Native American ancestry. The number of Hispanic people living in the Americas with an exclusively European lineage is probably very small. But, that’s just like my opinion, man.
