Schlimme Nachrichten: Es wird wohl ein Media Server sein müssen. Etwas anderes gibt’s nämlich nicht, es sei denn, du codest es selbst. Was eher schwierig sein dürfte, weil niemand die Spezifikation für einen Wohnzimmer-Media-Nicht-Server kennt. Du könntest es mit einem Ziegelstein versuchen, der servt jedenfalls keine Medien und passt unter die Couch. Oder du nimmst einfach LibreELEC oder einfach ein minimales Debian + Kodi. Ich habe beides zuhause und beides funktioniert recht gut.

Meta got sued and had to pay €1,500 per user in a ruling of a supreme state court which can’t be appealed. There’s a wave of lawsuits expected to follow because this actually means every Facebook user (for now, it might be possible that non-users whose data were also collected will sue, too) can easily sue now. I remember Meta boasting to have the data of some 10M Germans for targeted advertising. Unfortunately that’s hardly robust evidence but I hope they’ll sue them to hell and back.

Definitely - a bit of a long and weird trip, that is. Obviously some obscure hippie stuff from the early 1970s.

You can vote me down as much as you want. You still have no clue of chemistry - or anything else you’re babbling about. Morons.

None of the things you’ve described increase the carbon output.

Right. Because none of it is a fucking coal mine. Which is the only thing that can provide “carbon output”. Except a diamond mine, of course.

There is no such thing as “carbon neutral”. Nor is there a problem with carbon. You’re talking about carbon dioxide which is as close to carbon as table salt is to chlorine.

Who needs a guitar tuner? If you really need one, like for returning to standard tuning after alternative tuning experiments and the resulting ear fatigue a tuniing fork is the best thing you can get. No batteries, no microphone access, no browser, just “ping”. Fits in your pocket or gig bag and provides coolness factor. Also indestructable, dirt cheap, environment friendly and old-school.

Right. I should have written “getting their rockets up” for clearness.

A secret disco-weapon that stops everyone getting their rockets off but me? I wish I had had such a miracle weapon 25 years ago.

These server boards are usually the same as scientific and engineering workstation boards. They’re pretty good if you put the right CPU in. Xeon or i7 4770 and you’ll get a quite useable workstation out of them.

Non-gamers only. I recently replaced my mobo by a slightly older (the model, the board itself was brand new) industrial PC board. 32GB DDR3, NVidia Quadro K2200, 2 x gigabit ethernet, USB 3.1, five serial ports, three programmable digital IO ports, hardware watchdog, i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz. It’s a Loonix machine and I don’t use it for gaming but I do a lot of animation, video editing, µcontroller programming and 3D-modelling with it. Super reliable, fast enough for most stuff. If I need more raytracing power, I just cluster it with my Lenovo p15.

Isomere. The best kind of trilobyte.

Actually, the uniformed ones look a lot like German BFE cops. Present, not in 1933, that is. They do, however, have a certain reputation of not being too left-leaning.

Beethoven got deaf (or nearly deaf) at quite old age. Doesn’t really count either. Also Beethoven never used shitty composite video or even HDMI. These are strictly consumer crap. If good old Ludwig wanted to see his work he directed a fucking symphonic orchestra - and if he didn’t like what he got to see it was da capo until he liked it.

As far as I understood the article the shrooms were not offered for their psychedelic effect but as ordinary food - with the advice to cook them long enough to eliminate the psychoactive bits.

Idk, but 12 to 24 hours trippin’ doesn’t sound like my cup of tea. To most people four hours are funny but slightly exhausting, eight defiitely too much and I don’t even want to think of 24…

I don’t. Not a single one. If I spotted one in the neighborhood, I’d take it down.

Let’s not be cherry picking: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperion

I think there’s some prior art (about 100y) by a poet named Hölderlin.

And they left three skeletons IN SPACE!! Skeletons in space! It’s horrible. We’re all going to die.
