hinterlufer, 9 months ago to asklemmy in What gifts that you received for Christmas this year are already in the trash?

Pressed garlic has a much more intense flavor. For a stew or most cooked stuff I would squash and chop it, for sauces or garlic oil I prefer pressed.

It’s also much faster as you don’t have to peel it and if you wash the press right away it’s just as fast as washing a knife.

hinterlufer, 9 months ago to linux in how do i efficiently attach audio to an image

In kdenlive, the following settings work well for me (you can transfer the options to ffmpeg cli as well if you prefer that):

f=matroska movflags=+faststart vcodec=libx264 tune=stillimage progressive=1 g=1000 bf=2 crf=%quality acodec=flac ar=48000

For reference, I get a 3.7 GB video with a duration of over 5 h @4k resolution. The audio itself is already 3.7 GB and it’s just a still image. For CRF, set something around 23, that should do.

tbf, packed lemon juice doesn’t stand a chance compared to fresh pressed.

There’s a machine doing all the rolling out to specific thicknesses that’s used in bakeries

I could see this be a way to show how the towels look like when neatly stacked. And to show what belongs into that shelf if it were empty.

Do they still advertise 2 day shipping? They stopped that around here already a few years ago.

Yes, their service has gotten way worse over the last few years. But there’s also no obligation for you to stay subscribed to prime.

Yes, one of the future scientists is on the plane in the (second to?) last scene. Why does that break the loop though?

Mint with Cinnamon is very Windows like from the UI. You probably won’t need to touch the terminal for running steam games - there’s a GUI for pretty much anything a normal user would need.

I’ve had it happen three times in the last ~1 year each time killing some running process that I kept my pc on for. IIRC it were robocopy backups twice and once during deep sky photography.

I get why they force updates, but resarting is a bit too much for me. Although I understand why they do it, there’s so many people just never shutting their systems down and Windows apparently just needs to reboot a lot for updates.

If you haven’t noticed it on your machines, it probably is because you keep them updated and restart them regularly (or disabled the “feature” somewhere).

hinterlufer, 1 year ago to asklemmy in do you guys shop on places like aliexpress/Temu and if you do what items have pleasantly surprised you?

Actually there are some really good flashlights on AE. But you need to know which brands to look for and they’re not cheap.
