Turning up the center channel gives you more dialog. But that assumes you've got surround sound set up... Producers don't give as much love to stereo setups these days.

*Laughs in Dolby 5.1 with high quality Remuxes that have a center channel.

Seriously though, you can't blame them. Audio production these days is engineered for theaters and surround sound. Most of Gen z is watching this content in stereo - either through phone speakers or shitty TV speakers.

I showed up in Italy to work on a farm for a month.

Ate the wrong thing one night, and my airways started closing up. Despite my Americanism coming through "dont call the ambulance, I can feel the benadryl kicking in", my hosts called an ambulance.

After a 45 minute ambulance ride, a 5 hour hospital stay including chest x ray, monitoring, and fluids, I was trying to pay up. The doctor lady just laughed at me as a I flashed my debit card. They sent me on my way with some albuterol for $0.

We really do everything we can to enrich health execs here in America. Crazy to think about the mental benefits of knowing you live in a society that at least has the capacity to get you through a medical emergency without bankrupting you.

There's a remote risk of this catastrophic failure happening due to bad maintenance, installation, or building, but there's no risk of this happening due to normal rotation/swing. In other words, assuming the machine is in good working order and used for realistic applications, this will never happen.

Here's a video that explains how excavators achieve infinite swing angle without tangling the hydraulic hoses that go to the motors in the tracks. The dude in the video knows his stuff.

And on top of that, a pointless Twitter comment.

I swear, every meme nowadays is three levels of reaction deep.

On my truenas scale machine, I have a container for gluetun and one for qbittorrent (among others). Maybe a couple times a week, I notice that the VPN connection gets flakey. Qbittorrent speeds go down into the kb/s range. This promps me to carry out an annoying, manual process:

  1. I pause all torrents in qbittorrent webui
  2. I stop both the qbit and gluetun containers
  3. I start the gluetun container
  4. I give the gluetun container adequate time to connect (since the qbit container depends on the gluetun network, attempting to start both at the same time yields an error on the qbit side)
  5. I start the qbit container
  6. I resume all torrents in the qbittorrent webui

Is there any easy way to automate this process? Preferably one that doesn't require me to learn ansible? I'm hoping the solution could all be done via portainer - which I use.

Thank you in advance.

Good meme, but we really ought to end small-penis hatred.

Couldn't think of a more lemmy thread topic than one involving both Russian geopolitics and linux.

End small-dick hatred. Body shaming isn't okay no matter what.

For every lifted coal roller, there is a small-dicked, eco conscious bicyclist.

They are really laying it on thick with the passive voice.

This journalist just gave us a masterclass in everything you shouldn't do when interacting with nazis: appeals to logic, appeals to emotion, bringing up facts and logic, and ultimately platforming them. This is the kind of liberalism that promotes fascism. There is no excuse to give fascists time on TV and to platform them. There is no "debating" fascists. There is only violence.

The idea that aliens built the pyramids is racist.
