Hey guys. I have a steam link I’ve used for quite some time. But I’m wanting to figure out a solution that is similar but grants full PC control. I have my main PC hardwired and a steam link and monitor out in my garage I’m routing to with a power line adapter that works pretty great. But it has a lot of issues when minimizing steam to use as a full PC. I have a mini pc N100 I planned on using as a router. But would be happy to swap to use for this if possible.

I'm wondering if you know about any creators making analysis or historical commentary on film. The only one I know is Every Frame a Painting, can you recommend others in a similar vein?

I've been creating a short-list of organizations I would love to work for, and I wanted to ask for suggestions here because many members of this community are technology professionals with a strong interest in social & ecological issues. I recently graduated with a bachelors of science information technology degree, and I have the Comptia trifecta (A+, Net+, Sec+) as well as several other certifications. Ideally as soon as possible, but within the next 3-5 years I want to work in conservation/climate change mitigation, humanitarian aid, disaster relief, or another tangentally related field. I'm looking for recommendations for specific organizations I might want to work for, and needed skills that I can learn to be more useful to those organizations. I have about 2 years experience in IT (enterprise helpdesk, SOHO networking, some enterprise networking) and I have about 3 months of volunteer field experience in disaster relief (mucking & gutting, organizational liason & team coordination). I am also interested in positions that require a similar skillset (like GIS), and I am open to 100% travel time because I prefer fieldwork to remote work. I greatly appreciate any guidance you can provide. Thank you for the help!

Hi Lemmy. I'm wondering if eating healthy or at least getting enough nutrients, would change a person's outlook on certain things. Like I'm trying out keto and certain foods like avocadoes calm my mind down. I guess I'm asking if someone followed a keto diet or vegetarian/vegan lifestyle, would that shape their political ideology? I'm probably being stupid, but it's just a thought I had. Discuss away!

What do you think is best for a poor just coming out gay guy in his 30s trying to escape the things that come with street life. I am also more interested in older people than people my own age. Afaik there is no place for me. I fully assume I'll end up homeless but I have to leave. I'm open to other areas too. Definitely away from north east/new England. Preferably away from East Coast.... Preferably near the ocean or a good lake... I don't want to be stuck in crime or around homophobes.

I'm curious if anyone knows how things are looking for the app. Since the most recent update to Lemmy there's been no ability to read or send comments/messages. Is anyone else having this issue or is this just on my end? If I was more comfortable coding, I'd offer to help but I'd be a liability than anything. Yet, I'm wondering if utilizing something like perplexity.ai or chatGPT (ideally open-assistant in the near future) could make app updates an easier on the team.

I know that a lot of Garfield comics are repetitive and basic, but there are a few unironically funny ones. (Pictured: [1998-06-24](https://gocomics.com/garfield/1998/06/24)) *sorry if this is not appropriate for this community (i don't know where better to post it)*

I've wanted to try it for a long time, but never got around to it. I'm curious about any techniques that are more grass roots outside of the commercialized space, like what are the absolute minimum things needed when repeatability, convenience, and time are not important factors, but money and access to rare markets is extremely limited? What have you made before? Like: - a (blank) makes a good screen, or (blank) is an alternate technique to screens - (blank) can work as a replacement for emulsion - (blank) is an alternative for ink I'm personally interested in printing on t-shirts, but also printing silkscreens on circuit boards.

Fake Dentist perhaps? Something about getting cavities filled. Fake McDonalds? Not sure.

When I was a kid, like a real little kid, I remember having this one song I liked a lot about a guy trying to deal with getting wedgies at school. I remember almost nothing about it now, other than the guy eventually finds that Fruit of the Loom brand underwear has stretchy enough elastic to make the wedges painless. (This song is the reason I kept bugging my parents to get me Fruit of the Loom brand underwear instead of other brands.) Now I can't seem to find the song. The only reason I know it existed is because my parents also remember my weird brand loyalty to Fruit of the Loom because of that song. Can any of you guys help me find the underwear song that defined my childhood?

Since whales are teaming up with each other to take down yachts and teaching others how to do it I thought this would be a fun question. If a majority of intelligent enough sea animals that could communicate with each other teamed up to mess with human activities in the sea who would win. By the way for people that say that humans would obviously win we have already lost a war against emus before.

I understand that our local galaxy group is considered "gravitationally bound" and therefore exempt from the expansion from each other ((, but we don't seem to have other galaxies collected into their own "local groups" of gravitationally bound clusters, so are we saying we're somehow unique? Is there a trick of perception taking place?)) <---**edit:this is wrong** I found this quote in the Wikipedia article on the [Expansion of the universe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expansion_of_the_universe). > While objects cannot move faster than light, this limitation applies only with respect to local reference frames and does not limit the recession rates of cosmologically distant objects. It seems to me that if we can perceive at cosmological distance something that cannot exist, perhaps we are *falsely* observing an expanding universe. Maybe everything IS gravitationally bound and we're just seeing expansion because... Relativity?

Body positivity is such a strange concept to me. There's efforts to reclaim words while simultaneously calling them bad if used as an insult. Ideally, people wouldn't be offended by someone describing their body with common descriptors, but socially there is so much value attributed to certain body types that it's almost impossible to avoid having an emotional response of some kind to various descriptors. For example, It's not bad to be fat, but calling someone "fat" is almost universally considered a bad thing. The same definitely seems to go for the idea of being "short." I'm asking this question because I can't put my finger on why but something seems to be different about the use of the term "short" from the use of the term "fat." I think that part of it is how, to me at least, the term "fat" is so generic and hard to nail down to a discrete definition, implying that the word really doesn't have a clear connection to reality. On the other hand, height is a single-dimensional number. You either are above a certain threshold, or you aren't. I recently learned that May 6th to May 10th is "short king week" because it's 5'6" to 5'10" which then prompted me to search for the origins of "short king" and apparently the person most-credited with popularizing the term is Jaboukie Young-White who claims the term was meant to include all men under 6 feet tall. The average adult male height is 5'9" leaving men considered roughly average to be called "short" which is still considered an insult by many. I dunno. As a term that was intended to champion body positivity compared with how the term is actually used, what do you think of "short king?"

So in the whole anti-natalism/pro-natalism conversation (which I'm mostly agnostic/undecided on, currently), my friend who is a pro-natalist, argued that the success/stability of our world economy is dependent on procreating more children each year than the previous year, so that we not only replace the numbers of the people who existed from the previous generation (and some, to account for the statistical likelihood that many won't have children or will be sterile or die young etc), but also ensure that the population keeps growing in order to produce more and more human labor to "pay back the debts" of previous generations, because all money is borrowed from somewhere else... this is all very murky to me and I wish someone could explain it better. She is also of the view that this will inevitably lead to population collapse/societal/civilisation collapse because we live on a finite Earth with finite resources that can't keep sustaining more humans & human consumption (and are nearing critical environmental crises), but that there isn't any other option than to keep producing more children because a declining population wouldn't be able to support itself economically either. Basically the idea seems to be that economically & societally we're on a collision course for self-destruction but the only thing we can do is keep going and making increasingly more of ourselves to keep it running (however that as individuals, we should be plant-based & minimalist to reduce our impact to the environment, non-human animals and humans for as long as possible). And she is worried about the fact that fertility rates are falling & slated to reach a population peak followed by a decline in the relatively near future. As I said I'm not sure how I feel about this view but at first glance I think that the effect of having fewer children in providing relief upon the environment and helping safeguard our future is more important than preserving the economy because destroying the actual planet and life itself seems worse than economic downturns/collapses, but I really don't know enough about economics to say for certain.

As a follow-up, is there signs that the internet/technology may play a role in making a better society for all?

I'm working on a side project studying variations in human facial features. It's been helpful to study celebrity faces because it's easy to find numerous reference photos. I've actually got a fairly good range of weird looking white men, turns out Hollywood is pretty flush with those, but it's been harder to find unique looking women or darker skinned people of any gender! Idk if I just don't know as many actors in those demographics, or if it's just harder to break into Hollywood as a weird looking person without also being white and male, but it's probably some combination of the two. What're y'alls suggestions?

I'm thinking seriously about getting Google out of my life, and trying NextCloud. Looking to get a personal account through a managed provider. Does anyone have any experience with it? How does it compare to ownCloud? Any hosts I should look at or avoid? Any apps I should get for it, or avoid? Any issues I should be aware of before I switch?

Are CompTIA certifications still a viable way to get back into IT? I left the workforce at the start of 2020 to be a stay at home and I'm wanting to get recertified so I have options if I want to reenter the workforce. Thoughts?

For me : Trippie Redd's "!" Is actually a great album

For example, I have kept the habit of washing my hands with soap, first thing when I come home.

It has always amused me that the tourists to the US that I’ve spoken to are often very excited to see raccoons, and disappointed if they don’t see them before they leave. Some others I’ve noticed on the east coast of the US are blue jays and cardinals. Boy, do people get excited about those if they’ve never seen them before! Very pretty birds of course, just very easy to get used to and see as uninteresting as well.

Is the Tower of Babel still affecting us or something?

Mine was our CRT TV. I would rapidly push the power button on and off because I thought the picture coming and going looked cool but eventually it fell inside of the TV. I think I later stuck a magnet on the TV. --- Not looking for Reddit answers like "My parent's marriage"

Is it a 'thank you for prepping my room' or 'please clean my room today'? If you tip post cleaning, it's likely going to someone else the next day. Many hotels now only do housekeeping on demand. How do employees feel about this - do they miss the tips or are they happy for a less stressful workday? ETA- I'm in the US. Does the rest of the world tip housekeeping? I always have when traveling because I do at home, but I don't know what the norm is.

I've seen them called "Stop Lines", "Balk Line", etc. The thick line painted on the road at a Stop Sign. You're supposed to stop before the line, but a lot of the time there's a bush or other obstruction so you can't see any crossing traffic. You have to creep forward until you can see anything. Is there a reason for this? Is it done on purpose? It makes sense if there's a crosswalk or something, but I see it a lot where there shouldn't be any pedestrian activity.

Most psychologists don't care about Freud's work outside of a historical sense and kinda hate him as a person. His work was quite literally used as an example of pseudoscience by Karl Popper. And yet for some reason philosophers have an obsession with integrating his views into their work and artists keep using his views as inspiration and analyze existing works via the lens of psychoanalysis. Why?

For me, it was learning English. Although I do make a few mistakes here and there, I'm mostly perfect on it. The amount of resources you have access to dramatically increases when you know a universal language. I say dramatically because it made me realize how much my native language lacks when it comes to certain topics. The most obvious one to me was tech and computers. Everybody knows how to use Windows but there are very few resources about stuff beyond Windows. It's actually sad. _[insert sad face here]_

I've been fighting off writing this for a while now. I even considered making a throwaway for it, but I guess if its too embarrassing I can delete it. I've sorta come to accept I'm bi in recent years, and I am wondering how I should go about dating and courtship in regards to dating within my same sex (male). Especially since I find femininity to be a key attraction point. I also haven't dated or had sex in like, three years or more. Its been a while, I kinda stopped caring for myself and focused on work, I am slowly trying to become an interesting person again, get back in shape but its hard. I dunno, man. I'm in my mid-30s and I am trying to figure out what I want out of the world. There's a bit of lust involved. And I definitely need a hug at the very least. Furthermore, I live in the Southern part of the US, and the amount of trans hate has me actively wanting out of here (I'm aiming for Colorado) and dating in this part of the Southeast is already difficult as is, in my prior experiences. How does one navigate this kind of world after coming out? How do I deal with the stigma especially since in the states, there's a renewed interest in putting people back in the closet?
