Not vegan (sorry), but I thought The Modern Vegetarian Kitchen by Peter Berley was really good. Not all recipes are vegan, but most (all iirc) of them also have a vegan variant.

Probably because those products don’t actually boost your testosterone.

I think you should give Turkey some serious consideration. If I were your mom, I imagine I’d absolutely love it if you shared your passion for the local history with me.

I think Turkey should have wonderful beaches, but from there you could also travel to Albania, Greece or Italy quite easily. If those are too hot, you could go to Poland or Lithuania, Latvia or Estonia. I haven’t been myself, but I hear Eastern Europe has beautiful old cities and nature. Those countries are also pretty cheap!

Depending on how much you want to travel and whether you like trains you could get an Eurail ticket for one or more countries. If you’re younger than 28 you’ll get a nice discount. There should also plenty of affordable flights.

If you need or want to run an LLM on limited hardware, you may want to look into so-called bitnets with ternary connections. These should be efficient enough to run an OK LLM on a CPU with 16 GB of ram if not less. Unfortunately they’re barely out of the experimental stage, so you’ll probably have to compile BitNet.cpp yourself or wait a few months until full support lands in Ollama.

I haven’t run a bitnet myself yet, so I can’t personally vouch for their effectiveness or usefulness.

Sounds like you’re looking for something like archivemount.

I don’t think you need to hide your IP address, but if you really want to I guess you could try I2P.

Yeah, that guy was really ahead of his time.

I’m not sure what the connection is between rotten.com and the CIA and what that says about me as a person, but maybe I’m just too far gone to understand.

rotten.com/library contained articles with text and images, not videos of people dying. The point was to inform, not to shock. It was pretty different from the rest of the website.

If by “more CIA shit” you mean critical of AES, then yes.

Rotten.com was known for horrible pictures of gore and whatnot, but also contained a collection of interesting, weird and insightful articles at /library. That site is gone now, but the article have been preserved at https://rottenlibrary.net/

First time on lemmy.ml?

My German is not very good, but I think “bruchstellen” basically means “yo mama!”

I’m not a big fan of the Gnome DE myself, but I hear it’s the best choice for tablets and touch screens. Perhaps you could try a distribution that uses Gnome by default like Fedora or Ubuntu (or you could try installing Gnome on another distro).

Yeah, ideally the Mint installer or Driver Manager or whatever would be smart enough to tell you “some of your hardware is not supported by the default kernel, click here to install a kernel that will support your hardware”. This is definitely a shortcoming in Linux Mint.

On the other hand, it is worth noting that it is possible to get Mint running right on most hardware without touching a terminal.

Personally I’d recommend a beginner try running Mint or another stable distribution with a newer kernel before trying some sort of cutting edge rolling release, which might be buggy. But that’s just, like, my opinion, man.

It’s possible to install a newer kernel in Mint using the Update Manager. This might have solved your hardware issues. Admittedly, though, this option is not very easy to find if you’re not aware of it.

Me and my brother combined our money to buy Cyberia (1994). This was a fmv (full motion video) game, which still seemed like a pretty cool concept at the time. We bought it because we were really impressed with the demo, which came on a CD-ROM that was bundled with PC Gamer or some other magazine.

The demo was a section of the game where you were flying around in some sort of aeroplane. The only thing you controlled was the gun. The enemies were superimposed on top of the video, which was fixed.

I enjoyed the flying sections in the full game, but there were also parts where you controlled the main character on the ground. You could only move him between fixed positions and postures, because fmv. In some places you had to shoot enemies, which required very precise timing. This was too hard for me at the time.

I think I kind of regretted spending my money on it at the time, but only a little.

When brain-computer interfaces are perfected our minds will be networked with computers and each other. The concept of privacy will seem very quaint to or children’s children.

Resistance is futile.

Linux can be all colors in the rainbow (white) or no colors at all (black). Linux is black, white and everything in between.
