I meant whether we are farther away from the sun or not. As in, would it take less energy to hit the sun if we started from Mercury.

But now I realize that it’s our momentum given earths orbit. So I guess it would be harder from mercury cause it’s going faster?

I’m guessing you probably go faster than 0.9C after six months, given that the difference is 1 year.

Earth’s gravity being what it is a blessing cause it means we can do interstellar travel faster.

Is it because of our position?

As in, is it fair to say in terms of potential gravitational energy, that we are basically outside of the “centre” of sun’s gravity?

Your comment made me want to try and self host pie fed, I hope your happy

Why would one go to pie fed if their main concern was moving away from big tech?

I get that the devs aren’t popular but it’s fully open source isn’t it?

Is there a voyager equivalent for piefed?

I could ID this as episode but it would be completely fake.

Isn’t 2K the same as 1080p essentially?

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Right? I really don’t get it.

It’s the law of diminishing returns. When we went from 480p to 720p, it was a huge jump, something everyone noticed.

But the jump to 1080p was much less noticeable, to the point that people just thought its no different than 720p.

Now we have 4K, and most people stream, so it’s a bad bitrate ensuring it doesn’t look good all so the consumer feels like they are getting more cause 4K sounds cool.

I’m sooo glad 8K is not becoming a thing.

I don’t find this hard to believe at all.

Tried to play halo 3 campaign for the first time a little while back.

It really felt aged, like an upgraded ps2 game essentially.

And this was the pc version mind you.

Yes, my point was that even though educated people would agree, you would push the uneducated further with rhetoric like.

Having said that, that’s not a problem with an audience such as us.

 

To add insult to injury, what they call it, Deutschland, sounds like what we should call Netherlands

 

Even though the country wasn’t so bad after Dabya, imo it’s honestly where it all went wrong in the modern era. And it all started with a corrupt person who should have stayed in the private sector.

It all came down to: there isn’t a law forbidding it so there is opportunity

 
 
 

Hi,

I’m trying to find a way to have my iPhone’s photos be automatically (or even manually) backed up/synced with my home server.

I heard about photo prism here and got it up and running, however I could not find a free app that lets you sync. Photo sync is their main recommendation and it puts high quality photo backup behind premium.

Is there any solution that lets you backup your photos through home wifi?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: thanks to the suggestions, I found this handy chart listing many and comparing them: https://meichthys.github.io/foss_photo_libraries/

Just thought more people should know about this cause… CGP Grey is awesome.

Sorry to post something that should be in the you should know community… but that’s in lemmy.world which would take this down.

Please let me know if I should post this somewhere else.

 
 

Hi,

I recently built a new gaming computer and have been contemplating about the OS.

I prefer to move away from windows given obvious reasons and do like using Linux, but my experience with my steam deck has taught me that pirating games in Linux is hit or miss.

I played around with windows LTSC and honestly, seems like windows without the bloatware.

So question is, how is game pirating on Linux (in a desktop, not steam deck).

Is it as smooth as windows or should I just say fuck it and accept that my gaming computer has to stay windows for another generation?

 

I’ll see myself out.

 

They are honestly both good, but can’t beat the native ios experience.
