Für die, die sich über die Flaschendeckel aufregen.
  • Aber dass Getränkedosen früher einen Abreissdeckel hatten wusste ich bis heute nicht. Ich dachte, der Verschluss, wie man ihn heute kennt, wäre schon immer so gewesen.

    Digger, ich wollte den Tag eigentlich beenden ohne mich uralt zu fühlen.

  • I just looked it up and apparently it comes from cricket, which of course is not an American sport. I just assumed it was American, because Gary Larson is an American.

    Ah, well. My original point that most people will never have heard of it still stands. And who doesn't enjoy making fun of ignorant Americans? 😄

  • Well, there are people outside of the US, some of whom don't even have English as their first language. A quick investigation into this leads me.to believe that there might even be more people outside the US than inside. Most of those people have never heard of a sticky wicket.

  • Diskriminierungsvorwürfe gegen Check24: Alter
  • Einfach junge Ausländer einstellen, die halbwegs ausgebildet sind und sich ausbeuten lassen. So machte Check24 das, als ich weg bin. Von allen Neuanstellungen in der IT waren >90% aus dem Ausland. Einige Teams wurden brutal mit Deadlines und Überstunden verheizt. In der IT ist die Einarbeitung nicht so lang, wenn du einfach nur Coder willst und keinen Wert auf Leute legst, die auch dein Business verstehen und sinnvoll arbeiten können.

  • Diskriminierungsvorwürfe gegen Check24: Alter
  • Ja, das ist tatsächlich so. Bin da vor ein paar Jahren weg, weil ich die Firma als Arbeitgeber richtig scheisse fand. Nur Druck, jedes Jahr eine Umstrukturierung, null Vertrauen, brutaler Turnover. Und die Geschichten, wie heftig es abging, als ein paar Leute einen Betriebsrat gründen wollten. Die waren dann alle ganz schnell weg.

  • Why don't you...
  • That is such an odd point to make. If I film some random people playing football it's suddenly media? Settlers of Catan becomes something else entirely when I play it on a screen instead of on a table? You're just not making any sense.

  • Why don't you...
  • The fuck are you talking about? Playing games is a way of spending your time. Football is a game. Video games are games. Tabletop games are games. There are tons of different games. And with all of them it is an undeniable fact that it is always better to actually play them yourself instead of only (!) watching other people do it.

  • Why don't you...
  • That's a bullshit reason. He's not saying you should play football on a professional level, just as he most likely won't play the game on a competitive level. Actually playing something yourself is always better than only watching other people do it.

    Literature on repairing?

    Hi,

    Is there good literature on how to repair stuff? Just general things, not specific appliances. How to repair wood, how to properly sand wood and metal, how to replace a tile, how to read and analyze circuits, identify faulty parts and correct replacements, etc. I just want to become better at repairing stuff.

    Looking for MiTV box replacement

    I have a MiTV box with Android that runs apps for Jellyfin, Prime Video and Disney Plus. I would like to replace it with a mini PC, like some N100 box, to have more control over what runs on it. I tried a Pi with Kodi once, but I hate the UI so much. It's just not my thing.

    What other options do I have with self-hosted alternatives? I want a central UI like AndroidTV offers, I need Jellyfin, Disney Plus, Prime Video and some local TV station's streaming offerings and some remote control.

    I don't think that's possible, as you can only run Disney and Prime in a browser or their apps. And using a browser on the TV is not nice UX. But maybe some of the great people here have cracked that nut and can help me.

    Good free TTS (text-to-speech) options?

    Are there any free/open-source TTS options out there that are on the same level as Google Cloud's? I tried a lot of free ones, but they are absolutely awful and still sound like my Amiga did 30 years ago. With LLMs being available as open source, I am hoping there's also a good TTS offering I just haven't found yet.

    Barrier/Input Leap/other KVM server for Wayland?

    I really want to use Wayland, but the lack of a Wayland-based KVM sharing tool is an absolute deal breaker for me. I tried so many of them, but none worked. Waynergy looks alright, but it's only a client. rkvm didn't work at all and I don't remember the names of the other tools I tried. I know that Input Leap/Barrier has met their donation goal for Wayland support, but I am not holding my breath that it'll work with wlr.

    Has anyone gotten KVM sharing to work with a Wayland host and other Linux clients?

    Wanted: audio library streaming plus Spotify

    I am looking for something I can run on a Pi that gives me access to my private audio library plus Spotify, because I hate switching apps. I want to access it from a desktop and Android. Does someone have something like this set up?
