It’s also numbers. YouTube has given creators tools to literally benchmark thumbnails. You can just see which one does better. The vast majority of people unfortunately are susceptible to the same patterns. In the end, you need people to click on your video or they can’t watch it (which is the point here, to inform people). So here we are.

For example, thumbnails with faces work much better than without (doesn’t really matter what or who the face is). I find that monumentally stupid and weird, it just is what it is.

I wrote something about this in another comment just now, and while cracks in eggs with holes weren’t frequent, they still happened for me. I have been taught to poke holes in when I was young, and just always did and assumed it was needed. Now I stopped and nothing changed, basically. But it also means I have no point of comparison for how often they used to break without having poked holes, since I just never cooked them like that in the (distant) past.

There’s also no real downside to poking holes either, so why not if it might help. I have just misplaced my hole-poking-thingy anyway, so that saves some space in my drawer and not having to get a new one.

Just because there’s a logical explanation for why it could work doesn’t mean that’s actually what happens, or that pressure is even the dominant effect causing cracks.

Cracks could also come from bouncing around in the water, which could be solved by holding them up in some way. Or it could be weak points/areas from not badly formed shells from hens living in too tight quarters or being malnurished, where buying eggs from more humane sources would solve it. Or a combination, where the pressure differences in the water from rising steam bubbles cause uneven water-pressure on the egg, but they only crack when they are sufficiently weak to begin with, so just putting less water in might be enough to not make em crack (cause then there’s also less water pressure). I could be the packaging, that some eggs develop cracks during transport and they then make them vulnerable, so more local or differently packaged eggs wouldn’t crack at all. As you can see, it’s not that hard to come up with logical explanations and just doing a few things differently might just solve the problem, and even then the reason it was resolved might still be something completely different than we thought.

For comparison: I haven’t poked a hole into an egg in a long time, and I think I had like one or two crack this year. My eggs come from the farmer one street over, and the hens are freeroaming with plenty of space. They don’t get transported at all. Sometimes, I use a steam thingy to boil them, sometimes in water. Even when I did poke holes in, some eggs used to crack anyway, and I’d guess 1 in 3 months in a pretty good guess as to what the frequency was, that’s why I said “roughly the same numer” in another comment.

Ah so it’s a linux problem when the gpu driver causes instability, cause NVidia is making a shitty and proprietary linux driver and the market share is too small to warrant putting more effort in. Linux doesn’t have it’s own fully-featured graphics driver, so that company has to come in and provide their own since linux can’t supply it. And mistakes happen. Roughly the same logic.

That’s not linux fault. Neither is it Microsofts fault when a company selling a security product decides it has to run in kernel mode and then they don’t properly test a release and just decide to yolo it.

I stopped doing the “pokey thing” and have had roughly the same number of breaks at before, maybe even less (one less point to fracture from without the hole). Subjective interpretation of the effectiveness is useless, as we humans are subject to so many possible bias that’s it’s impossible to be objective, no matter how hard we try. You can’t even eat enough eggs to have a statistically relevant sample size, let alone one large enough to determine if it does or doesn’t “help a little”.

You “feel” it helps. That’s ok. Also ok to act on. It’s just about boiling your own eggs.

I really wish people works stop cramming everything into a Pi form factor. This one would be much better served with another design. Notice there are no pictures of the bottom side? There are when you go to the Ali Express store, and it’s literally a blank n100. Not even a could plate to move at least some heat, just nothing.

N100 needs some amount of cooling. Either a great big choker probably larger than the pi for passive cooling, or a more suitably sized one for some sort of fan. Or you can run it without any cooler and see it throttle when using about half a core, defeating the purpose of having an n100 on there in the first place…

I didn’t initially read the title and guessed it was “new world order beyond heavy metal”. Reasonably close I’d say.

It isn’t a Microsoft issue in the first place. Doesn’t mean switching to alternatives isn’t a good idea, but this one isn’t on them for a change.

The whole cracking egg thing is way overblown. For the longest time we poked holes into the side with the air bubble, turns out that didn’t actually do anything either (so we stopped that). It could be that faster or slower heating or the shell makes cracking more or less likely, but unless someone actually (scientifically) tests this, who knows?

Well there more than one solution, if you want it. First of all, podman actually works fine with docker compose files. There may be some adjustments needed in other places, because despite the claim of being “a drop in docker replacement”, it just isn’t (quite). So assuming you install docker compose (not docker), you can just “docker-compose up” (note the dash) and it should work. Should.

Your can also just spin up a VM and install docker with compose in there, just for testing and/or running immich.

QOwnNotes for me. Also such a catchy name. Seriously though, ignore the stupid name, just give it a try.

“Immich” might be a real option, I don’t quite understand why you think it’s overkill?

I mean syncthing has been mentioned plenty, but of course Nextcloud also solves the problem. It’s can’t truly sync a folder, but it works fine for backing up photos and videos.

Don’t people return home eventually? I mean if they didn’t, London would just fill up and eventually burst, and I don’t mean over decades but over weeks. Commuters obviously go there in the morning and return at night, where the empty train problem exists in both cases (just reversed direction). But any other visitor I’d assume comes and goes at less precisely scheduled times?

This is a very complicated and backwards way of saying: it’s not illegal, you’re required to talk to a specialized counselor first though. That’s also frankly not an un reasonable requirement.

It’s not that complicated.

Problem is it wouldn’t be the “good stuff” that remains. So good luck with your utopian dreams.

If you got your way, the vast majority of the Internet would disappear together with the advertising. The Internet runs on advertising. If it stops being viable, so does the Internet as a whole. How do you think all these free services are funded?

The trick is to take the privacy violating and tracking part out of it. If you block ads, that doesn’t matter. If a few tech savvy people do, it doesn’t matter. If literally everyone does, it suddenly matters a lot.

Of course they are working with one of the advertising giants, that’s the point. That’s who the solution is for. If none of them would accept it, it might as well not exist.

Weird, I seem to have 3 USB-A, 2 USB-C, and one Ethernet, HDMI and mini-display port each on mine that isn’t an apple. I just included connectivity in my search when I was looking.

Also check out framework laptops if you want to just pick exactly what ports you have. If they were around when I got mine, that’s what I’d have gotten.

That is indeed US-specific. I’m in the EU, and here it’s defined by when and how it’s switched. Specifically, it is required to be tied to the brake pedal (i.e. then intention to brake) and/or the hand brake being pulled. It is not allowed to illuminate otherwise. But the exact specifics probably also vary by country here. That’s why I emphasized that part.

EDIT: There are actually deceleration values in some laws, possibly tied to regulation of EVs and the regenerative braking. Since that isn’t necessarily tied to the brake pedal when silmulating engine braking, but can be adjusted in strength at will (it isn’t tied to the mechanics of the drag of an idling engine as it would with an ICE). A quick google told me that the lights are allowed to come on at 0.7 m/s² and are required to come on at 1.3 m/s². This obviously implies that they are NOT allowed to come on below 0.7 m/s². This still applies only to (pure) EVs, as far as I can tell (not hybrids, and not ICE powered cars).

Oh yes, that sounds right. Thanks!

Because there are laws that specify when the brake light has to come on, and it isn’t when the car shows down (slightly). You could be starting to go up hill, or a list of other reasons. The point of brake lights isn’t too signify the car slowing, but that the driver intends to slow down. Which is also why it doesn’t come on if you’re motor breaking" (is that the right term?).

This obviously varies wildly depending on where you are in the world. I’m also sure there are some places where it would be allowed.
