Not exactly the same, but suggests probably it would not turn out well. https://thebrain.mcgill.ca/flash/capsules/histoire_bleu06.html

I'd love it you'd name a few. I like games you can get lost in for hours and always looking for others I may have missed.

My father went to high school with someone whose last name was Butts. His parents named him Harold and called him, and thus his friends called him, Harry. I always kind of thought it was a tall tale until my father showed me his high school yearbook one day And there was a picture of Harry Butts.

I always kind of wanted to meet this man and his wife and ask her if he lived up to his name.

It doesn't have it by default. Many people drink it without, often with a bit of milk to thin it out a little.

I'll enter for God of War, I watched a few YouTube videos of it with my son and it looked fun and a good story. Thanks for this idea, it's fun. Good luck to everyone.

Something that made me happy this year: my son tested into advanced math placement at school and I still can't get over how amazed I am with the poor genes I passed in to him. Couldn't be more proud as it was something he wanted and of his own choosing spent extra time practicing math. Don't know how I lucked out, but he's pretty impressive to me

I tried so many, eventually landed on trilium. It's not perfect by any means, but it ticks the most boxes for my needs

This is probably not true. The concept of this phrase but referring to family is probably a modern confusion. There is no clear evidence it means it was really referencing ties to friends. Although I wish it did. Here's some further reading from others also looking for a clearer reference.

You are correct. -itis just means inflammation or infection, encephalon just means brain. You can have encephalitis caused by multiple things, viruses, bacteria, fungal, auto immune diseases and so forth

I love trilium, I can self host. Doesn't have user support so I host two instances for me and wife. We then use mealie for recipes. It's worked really well

Trilium notes. Not perfect, but the best of many I've tried for my needs.

It's too bad this forces SSL connections. I'd like to use it for some home network/lan sites I have that are http only and use this just for convenience to access when at fine, but it requires a secure connection it seems

Kissless handholdless (I've seen some say hopeless} virgin

 

I have steam up and running on my main daily driver ( currently endeavour OS, but I also have a dual boot to a Windows with steam also working if needed, but just about everything I'm playing lately is working great on Linux).

I have a TV connected to a older HP PC that acts as my media center. It runs Kodi on Linux mint. Both computers are wired ethernet connected. Is there a way I can stream/play games from my daily driver to my computer that's connected to the TV? Is there a Kodi add-on I could use? Do I just need to install steam on my Linux mint? I don't have a steam link device. I did some brief reading on steam remote play and it looks like that's more designed to share with others not just stream from my own account to another computer.

Currently My daily driver is actually close enough to my TV that I could even have a keyboard/controller connected to the daily driver and just stream the video if that was better. But in the future I may want to rearrange rooms, so ideally I guess it would be best to have the controller through my HTPC as well.

Any advice on how to best approach this?

new GPU advice (lemmy.world)

Sadly, my 980 TI just blew up. I took it apart and I think it's one of the VRAM has totally burned out, there's a big old black mark and burning smells. So unfortunately I need a new GPU.

I've always had NVIDIA in the past, but I'm willing to do AMD. I principally run Linux, but do dual boot for some Windows gaming. I do need VR support for my index. I've never done ray tracing, think it might be fun to try but not necessary.

It's been a long time since I bought a GPU, so I'm not super up to date on everything right now, so I'm hoping for some advice. I was hoping to wait another year or two before upgrading, but I guess I need something now. I have a 6700k processor on Asus Maximus hero viii.

Honestly I probably just want to replace something roughly compatible to what I had, but maybe it is time to just upgrade to something much better. Usually I try to buy a decent GPU so it can last for many years instead of frequently upgrading. So I'm torn if I should just get something old and uses that would work for a year or two, or if I should now just bite the bullet and buy a upper mid to lower top tier GPU now. If I had to I could stretch a budget into the 1500 usd range, but it really bothers me that cards have been getting getting that expensive so I would prefer to keep it down more in 200-800 range. I have 1440p monitor, but I'm also ok with 1080 gaming.

I'd appreciate any thoughts, or advice from those more up-to-date on recent GPUs. Thanks
