From the transcript and ai generated summary from Claude:

Here is a summary of the key points from the Linus Tech Tips YouTube video on why DisplayPort is better than HDMI:

• DisplayPort has an embedded mode (EDP) used in laptops and tablets to drive internal displays in a simpler, thinner way vs HDMI.

• DisplayPort has a USB-C alt mode to deliver signals over USB-C ports, enabling charging and video over one cable. HDMI's alt mode was discontinued.

• DisplayPort is royalty-free while HDMI charges device makers a per-unit royalty fee.

• DisplayPort supports multi-stream transport for daisy chaining multiple monitors from one output.

• DisplayPort can easily convert to HDMI signals via passive adapters, but not the reverse.

• DisplayPort cables often have latches to lock them in place, preventing accidental disconnections.

• Key advantages of DisplayPort are higher bandwidth, more flexibility, lower costs, and convenience features over HDMI. But HDMI remains widely used due to broader consumer electronics adoption.

In summary, the video makes the case that DisplayPort is technically superior to HDMI in several ways, though market dominance of HDMI persists. Both serve an important role in connectivity.

Agreed! The only way to make sure that we can hit "critical mass" (the point in which content is relatively the same as on Reddit), is to continue what we did over there, and more. Most of us were lurkers on Reddit (me included). We now have to generate the content that most bots, mods, and superuser did for us. This allows us to get the links and content that we enjoyed reading and interacting with on Reddit.

Happens to me all the time with music. Be jamming out to a song I've loved for years, right when my fav. artist dropped the album. Then tiktok plays the one hook from one song on their album and people always ask "Oh! Did you hear that on tikTok?!" .... No...no....no 🙄

It might be but the image is similar to other pastafarians depictions of the flying spaghetti monster.

Midjourney mostly creates scary looking ones with a simple input.

Someone should make a panel of Garak's explanation of "The boy who cried wolf". In which he explains meaning of the parable to Bashir that's it's not about "some one lying to much" but that "one should not say the same lie twice"

I remember when a reporter did a review of the Tesla back when they first started to get popular. They gave the reporter a loaner car to test and review it. Ended up giving it a bad review. But what stuck out the most was how much data Musk had on the vehicle/driver to try and discredit the story. From time the person used any of the devices, to video, and power % all remotely...

Don't forget, that SCOTUS also gave themselves the right of judicial review out of thin air.

The early days of Internet bullet boards and forums, that focused on one specific niche. Where I stumbled upon the posts from time traveler John Titor or TimeTravel_0. Good times reading those and becoming fascinated with the what if aspect of it all.

When a decepticon has truck nuts walking up the pyramids, I was out...

I ran into the same problem and ended up switching to an S3 with Vultr. It's been a while since I did it but here are the links that I used to figure it out. I'm deployed using Lemmy-Easy-Deploy.

I used a combination of:

Good luck!

Reminds me of that Battlestar Galactica spinoff Caprica where the dad recreates his daughters life in a machine by recreating her life from her social media presence...

Firefox - bookmark side bar is still the only reason I can’t use chrome (besides issues with privacy et al)

I can feel that gold pressed latinum in upvotes slipping through my fingers

I am in 100% agreement with you. I'm kind of in the same mindset in figuring out my homelab setup. Still learning docker and how volumes work 😢 haha

I'm in academia but I like to tinker with tech. So when my students or co-workers are surprised that I know so much about tech and how to navigate around most computer systems and troubleshoot (Mac/Windows/Linux) they are perplexed. They ask why I didn't major in tech. I tell them that I majored in what I loved (history) and play with tech as a hobby to relax.

It's why I selfhost my own Lemmy server. Gives me something to do with my hobby, keeps me focused on what's new in tech, makes me learn to keep up with docker, Linux, editing CRON tabs etc.

This might help, haven’t tried it but their proof of concept website looks promising.

4-5 years ago Steam had the same issue with their market place. Selling and buying skins for CS:GO and others.

I'm closing in on 40 and I've had this mid-life crisis spell happen during the later part of COVID, 2020-2021. I love to write short stories and poetry, but with my "crisis" it became a burden to even think about putting thoughts down. Then this person comes into my life, we will call her Martha. I'm twice her age, her superior at work, and generally not someone I would talk to. But besides all that, we strike up a friendship. It's weird at first, the age gap, the maturity level, and me the authority figure. But we connect somehow, and my writing returned. At first it is mostly about her, and these torrent of emotions that she drew out of me. Her personality, energetic, kind, and thoughtful helped invigorate my own life. Like a nurse pulling poison from a wound, I felt liberated after all this time. All because of her.

We eventually went our separate ways. We seldom talk anymore, but that friendship we made still helps me write. I think of her, and my inner voice sings to express itself. She is my muse but I'll never tell her or say anything about it (maybe if we ever reconnect in the future). Martha has changed me and is my inspiration.
