>>107853066Thank you. No, it's NBP, Sora doesn't support 2K resolution and 3:4 AR; it's inspired by this:https://pinterest.com/pin/65794844552402303/but direct txt2img written by Gemini:>**Subject & Narrative:**> A captivating, three-quarter portrait of a young girl with a glorious mane of cascading, copper-red hair, standing amidst the awakening blooms of a spring orchard. She pauses to gently cradle a branch of white apple blossoms, her pale, porcelain skin dusted with a constellation of natural freckles. Her expression is serene and knowing, with a subtle, soft smile and bright eyes engaging the viewer. She wears a textured, wide-brimmed woven straw hat that frames her face, and a delicate white dress with intricate lace trim on the sleeves, suggesting an Edwardian summer elegance.>**Artistic Style & Medium:**> An oil painting in the virtuoso style of John Singer Sargent. The piece should feature his signature "alla prima" technique, utilizing bold, confident, and fluid brushstrokes. The texture of the paint is visible, particularly in the white lace of the dress and the highlights of the hair. The rendering of the face is smooth but painterly, capturing the luminosity of skin. 3:4 aspect ratio.>**Lighting & Color Palette:**> The lighting is natural and dappled, characteristic of painting "en plein air." The color palette is lush and sophisticated: vibrant warm ochres and burnt siennas for the hair, contrasted against a background of deep, varying forest greens and soft shadowed foliage. The white dress is not pure white but composed of thick impasto strokes of cream, pale blue, and lavender to represent shadow and reflected light, a hallmark of Sargent’s mastery over white fabric.>**Composition & Atmosphere:**> The background is a loose, impressionistic wash of green bokeh and vague floral shapes, keeping the focus sharply on the subject. The atmosphere is romantic, timeless, and breathable, capturing the fleeting beauty of youth and spring.
>>107853452I see. Very nice, thank you for sharing! I shall have to try NBP sometime, it's the only generator i haven't tried yet.

Linux is starting to "just werk" more than windows. The OOB experience of windows is awful these days.
>>107849838>Due to the boomers that ran the placenow imagine the same place with lunix
>>107847486I spent 3 days testing Linux distros on some shitbox PC someone brought to me, just to find one that worked. Debian wouldn't install power management utilities with xfce, multiple flavours of Ubuntu hung during install, mx worked but was too fucking lardy, bodhi and wattos had broken sound, antix refused to render the desktop, fyde refused to boot, kolibri requires you to build it just to try it, i really wanted loc to work as it ran the best but again sound didn't work. Finally lubuntu didn't hang during install and sound worked, I don't like it but I'm not getting paid to keep going. This is a fucking normal ass old Intel laptop and there's no excuse for this shitfest
>>107852212>mx worked but was too fucking lardyHow ancient is the e-waste you're using?
>>107852369z8350 with 2gb of soldered ram, and the drive isnt even an emmc its a SD card soldered to the board. they bought it in 2019 if you can believe thati updated lubuntu and now it kernel panics on boot fuck this shit
>>107848888Try Winboat or WinApps

>>107853622You're not fooling anybody Emily
>youtube made the thumbnails bigger again
why are they constantly changing shit? will there ever be a point in which design philosophy of tech/webdesign returns to lightweight and simple? there is so much fucking java going on. youtube uses half a fucking gb just in the background. paused.
Ok it's already too late for ram and GPUs.. what else should I buy before the price of literally everything goes up? What's next on the chopping block??
>>1078509703.5" high capacity server drivesit will be a bloodbath worse than SSDs
>>107851842You're late to the game. Used ones have just about doubled in price already. I really would have liked to have gotten another 12TB drive as a spare, too, but I'm not doing it now.
>>107851160here the gpu market got totally fucked after the pandemic, it never recovered.
Hard drives, as high capacity as you can get. Buy multiple of the same ones for mirroring. I just got another 2x4tb today. I'll feed them to my z440 which will be my homelab/storage for the next 10yrs (it's already almost 10 yrs old).
>>107853781This. Went out last weekend and got 3x 1tb nvme drives and 4x 1tb sata ssd's. Price went up on all of them within a few days.
I fucking wish Ubuntu was good. It just doesn't work for gaming because of snaps.
>>107852860>
>>107852834You could just not use snaps
>>107853073I know, but it's more the fact that Ubuntu ships with snaps, and they suck, and I don't want to use a distro that uses trash stuff by default.
>>107852834You have just as much ability to use flatpak or repo packages for gaming stuff on Ubuntu as you do on any other distro.So gaming works just as well on Ubuntu as any other distro.OP is a faggot as always
>>107853021This dude is still vehemently defended and protected by linux conventions, debian and gnome.If (You) raped two extremely young girls, including yuor sister, for thousands of times, the least they would do is tell you you should be dead.
Could "shup and dance" actually happen to someone in real life, or is it just a stupid idea?
Why did youngsters decide to ditch this website all of a sudden? It used to be THE social media website for the longest time but almost exclusively used by boomers these days.
>>107852694Many things honestly>You can get banned easily, and the bans last long>Its a boring social media site>Relentless AI stuff spam>Feed changes when it refreshes, so you lose whatever thing you were watching>Annoying ads>It took em a while to add 2fa>They got caught selling your data multiple times>Their marketplace/dating center is full of retards and scammers>Bloat in both messenger and facebook appYounger people only keep facebook from the olddays, only to occasionally stalk on their friends and exes that they are not in touch anymore, and to speak to their boomer relatives. Only 40+ people are active users. The rest have moved on.
>>107853527And last but not least>Kept asking for ID or to videocapture your face in order to verify your account way before ukstan started messing around with online censorship laws>Contacting meta for help is useless as fuck
Social media was fun because I could keep up to date with my friends. Now my feed is algoslop because people stopped posting because now their feed is algoslop.The only people left using Facebook are 40+ year olds commenting on ragebait and AI trash
>>107853779freaky to think how little human-human engagement there is on the internet these days.
>>107853779I don't know how much of my nostalgia is tainted with childhood memories but I remember being a kid on Facebook and my friends would just post random stuff and their thoughts. That's all my feed ever was. Sometimes there would be pictures and maybe an announcement from a band or two but ragebait didn't exist and nobody was posting for attention or to try and grow a following.
Which distro has the least amount of troonery? I was misguided by peers into installing fedora
just install pop os
>>107853654what's wrong with fedora? it's a good one
>>107853654ts gna b a 'ge bc ts is js distrowars slop
>>107853654Windows. Whatever troonery is supposed to be you'll never escape it in open source software since it seems that all developers are either trannies, schizos or both. My advice is that you should grow up and stop crying about imagined culture wars and just use a distro that works for you.
Best Practices Editionprevious: >>107761293READ THE (temp)WIKI! & help by contributing:https://igwiki.lyci.de/wiki/Home_server/hsg/ is about learning and expanding your horizons. Know all about NAS? Learn virtualization. Spun up some VMs? Learn about networking by standing up a OPNsense/PFsense box and configuring some VLANs. There's always more to learn and chances to grow. Think you’re god-tier already? Setup OpenStack and report back.>What software should I run?Install Gentoo. Or whatever flavor of *nix is best for the job or most comfy for you. Jellyfin/Emby/Plex to replace Netflix, Nextcloud to replace Googlel, Ampache/Navidrome to replace Spotify, the list goes on. Look at the awesome self-hosted list and ask.>Why should I have a home server?De-botnet your life. Learn something new. Serving applications to yourself, your family, and your frens feels good. Put your tech skills to good use for yourself and those close to you. Store their data with proper availability redundancy and backups and serve it back to them with a /comfy/ easy to use interface.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

Thinking of adding cloud backups on top of my local backups. What's the most cost effective provider for <1TB of data?
>>107852738I've been using backblaze, with decent results. I'm still at like 25Gb though
My z440 has been good to me the last 5 years. How long do you think it can realistically be a decent server? Mainly use it for storage, archive, backup, Media streaming, playing around with OSes and learning kubernetes.CPU: Xeon E5-2680 v4 / 96GB DDR4 ECC Storage: 2 x 240GB SSD, 1x 1TB HDD , 2x 8TB HDDGPU: NVIDIA Quadro P400
Other than for storing videos and photos taken with your phone, is there a reason to even need more than 256GB on a phone? People with more than 256GB, what do you use your extra capacity for not including the videos and photos you take with it?
>>107853071came here to post this. cheers, m8! h8ers gonna h8
>>107853071so.. mentally retarded people.got it
>>107853149but can you root it?
>>107853194picture. A lifelong of picturesnormies dont have computers, their phones are their computers
>>107848935I film a lot of local rallies (as in rally racing) and take hundreds of pictures during a weekend during that. Especially filming in 4k/60fps/hdr takes up tons of space. Plus the 200+ gb of music I have on my phone. So yeah, I need A LOT more than that. My S25 Ultra has 1tb in it and I constantly reach the point where I have to transfer stuff to my drives at home and delete stuff to not run out of space.
Even decades later those damn office comics couldn't ring any truer. RIP Scott thanks for being useful! (That was his thing... like Red Green and being Handy.)
>>107852670any major news outlet
I heard he was responding well to some new treatment, I guess that was short lived. Looking at his podcast from 5 days ago, he was in really bad shape.Despite being remembered as a retard from the covid days, he eventually came around to some extent and in his last years suffered enough with cancer. RIP Scott "Clott" Adams.

>>107851030Yeah, You can play triple A titles on medium settings in FHD on AMD ones, atleast.
>>107827328I have the actual genuine keyboard this is based on that includes the win key instead of the other one that doesnt have it and comes with the ibm logoI dont really use it much and it feels lighter than the keyboard on the x220 and also a specific combination of win + shift + right seems to not work while all 3 of those keys individually work fineI'm curious if the tex shinobi feels better than the genuine lenovo one or not. I heard that middle button where mousewheel up/down is supposed to be doesnt actually work properly as a mousewheel like the regular thinkpad keyboard would>>107827945Honestly if i wanted a numpad i would just get a separate standalone one that can be placed like on the other side of the mouse and mousepad instead of increasing the distance between the kb and mouse >using an external usb mouse instead of the one built in to the keyboardIdk i use both the kb mouse and a regular usb mouse depending on my mood
>>107850572I guess I figured maybe I'd want to keep the disc drive. I still do use it, but really only occasionally. I actually do have some 2.5" HDDs lying around, but I take this laptop everywhere and I'm afraid of the HDD dying on me.Also are there any cool expresscard accessories for a T430? I don't need any more USB ports
My t480 shuts down after the first battery depletes and only switches to the second battery after i turn it back on. is this because im using cheap chinese replacement batteries?
>>107853674Probably. Calibrating them (may need to do it a few times for each) usually helps
