What is your unpopular flim opinion

I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

pimeys,

I never really watched any horror movies until this October we binge watched almost 40 movies from that genre.

I agree, some of the absolute greatest films are from that genre, and you can find very interesting stuff from there if you dig a bit.

I’m now kind of mad at how I didn’t find Evil Dead earlier in my life. Or The Texas Chain Saw Massacre…

pimeys,

Talking about Stephen King, Misery is a great movie.

pimeys,

I would love to spend a night with him, sitting together at a kitchen table, him constantly ranting about movies and giving anecdotes, me pouring more wine…

I think this is the beauty of Tarantino.

pimeys,

I didn’t like The Dark Knight at all. It was just kind of boring and the acting didn’t do anything for me.

I also think Nolan is highly overrated.

pimeys,

Been using sway for years now. Not even thinking about it, it doesn’t jump to my face and works the same and never changes. Just what I need so I can focus on my work.

I borrowed an installation CD from the local library around 1998. It was RedHat 5.x, and I started messing around with it due to me being interested in alternative operating systems. Before it, I had OS/2 Warp 3.0 in our IBM Pentium 100 MHz family computer which didn’t really do it for me to be honest.

It took weeks to get anything working with Linux. I went to the library, borrowing books. In our middle school we had an internet connection, so I utilized it to learn how to configure modelines correctly to get X11 running.

When it did finally run, the default window manager was FVWM95, almost like Windows 95!

I used OSX a few years in the power PC times, just to switch back to Linux around 2008.

Edit: my real love for Linux started when I got Debian running. RedHat didn’t have anything comparable to apt those days. You needed to download RPM packages manually with all the dependencies, while apt just worked with one command.

pimeys,

I used both of them for a long time. Plex(amp) for music because it just works for streaming my collection everywhere I go and has a good UI. My own personal Spotify… And Jellyfin for everything else.

Now I built a new homelab server with a beefier AMD and proxmox, and decided to just switch to Plex for all my content. It has a better UI to my taste at least, but it also has these weird glitches sometimes where the video playback stutters if watching 4k material (where Jellyfin just worked).

I don’t know really. For music Plex is definitely worth the subscription price, but these weird playback issues put me to consider alternatives for video content.

pimeys,

I use podman on NixOS. It’s cool, but be warned there are subtle and less subtle differences.

pimeys,

I’m a dev and I mainly see issues with removed… Every update breaks some tools the cli tools are ancient, homebrew is slow as hell and breaks quite often, docker is really slow and costs money if you don’t know how to avoid that, it’s very expensive to get to a certain amount of RAM that costs nothing on PC and so on.

pimeys, (edited )

The docker desktop does. It is very tricky to install docker without it on the Mac.

You can try installing it on GitHub actions for your CI runs with the Mac runner. It can be done, but takes forever, is hacky and breaks very often.

pimeys,

It is just me wanting to filter 🍎 completely from the instance, so all mentions to 🍎 products get redacted. That is kind of an insider joke due to that company being so prevalent in internet forums such as HN or Reddit. At least in my own instance all mentions of removed are hidden.

pimeys,

That being if you can get yourself some Monero anonymously. I can see valid use cases for that, for example in the drug busines…

pimeys,

I can keep The Beatles and Steely Dan, everything else can get their coats.

pimeys,

Are you suggesting kids nowadays know anything about music?

pimeys,

For sure.

    Right?

    But, it is the fastest processor in the world, you don’t notice the missing memory. It is a special memory and the software is special, so 8GB is enough.

    Abe gets the upvote.

    pimeys,

    A spare computer (e.g. a rpi), tailscale (free) and a bit of time to set up.

    pimeys,

    I selfhost a SearXNG instance in my homelab. It aggregates results from multiple sites, works without JavaScript and filters out all tracking, AMP bullshit and so on.

    It is important to run it at home, Google tends to blacklist VPS address ranges, and if you have a public instance, you’ll get rate limited quite fast.

    pimeys, (edited )

    Yep. I switched from xorg/i3 years ago, and it was already super snappy back then compared to the previous setup. Today everything works with Wayland, and I don’t really need to think about it anymore.

    But, ymmv. I avoid Nvidia’s products, which helps a lot for the stability.

    pimeys,

    What about us who will never want to see any ads ever in our life? Can these companies force fed them to us and we kind of just accept that?
