Hi, I'm sbird! I like programming and am interested in Physics. I also have a hobby of photography.

  • Why does American media (and to an extent the American public) seem to only focus on one issue at a time?

    Jump

  • I did mention that non-American news are similar, but the American ones in particular are very on the nose when it comes to this.

    If Marx was alive during the Cold War and beyond, how would he react to the communist states that rose to power? Would he approve or disapprove of them?

  • Rename the "shutdown" shortcut to "power off" in KDE Plasma?

    Jump

  • Not that, when searching with the "application menu". Or is KRunner running when that is open? I'm pretty sure its different since KRunner (when opened with keyboard shortcut) shows extra things compared to the application menu search bar. Dang, you can't edit that easily?

  • If dark matter doesn't emit, absorb, or reflect light, what happens when light hits it?

    Jump

  • I remember reading something somewhere that the gravitational lensing of dark matter (where light bends around and you can see behind) was evidence for dark matter being a thing that exists. Dark matter could really be anything though (ones I have heard about include WIMPs, primordial black holes, and supersymmetric particles like gravitinos), and we simply don't have enough experimental data to know what it is. We know it exists as we see its gravitational effects in galaxies and such, but that's about it.

  • No, don't think you can. You can upload a link to a video hosting site though (a file hosting thing would also work)

  • Is it normal to see this static when you close your eyes?

    Jump

  • So it's like when a camera doesn't have enough light to properly take a photo, producing a lot of grain. Like when you have a high ISO when taking a photo/video in a dark room, it looks very grainy. I guess the eye is still adjusting its "exposure" if you see some of this graininess in the dark (or when you close your eyes?)

    What's a realistic, low-power home server setup in 2025 for Plex/Jellyfin, Nextcloud, and reliable backups?

    Jump

  • Personally, I'm just using an old laptop (think it's 11th gen Intel i5) as a home server. A mini PC seems like a good option if you don't have an old laptop though.

    I also have an older laptop with a 6th gen Intel core i3 and a dead battery that I have to put to good use at some point, but haven't bothered to do so yet. What should I use it for?

  • People who don't wear earphones outside - why, and what do you do instead?

    Jump

  • if not humming, then listening to music in your mind!

  • People who don't wear earphones outside - why, and what do you do instead?

    Jump

  • thinking about stuff (what to eat later, what to do later, etc), chatting with a friend/family member, looking around to see what's happening (construction, birds doing bird things, plants changing shape/size/color, etc), reading, or humming to a song you know (you don't need your phone to enjoy music!)

  • What are popular, iconic, and must-listen songs from where you are from?

  • pwned: do you pronounce it as "pohned" "pawned" or "owned"

    Jump

  • being angry on the internet is one thing, you have to give evidence to support your argument

  • pwned: do you pronounce it as "pohned" "pawned" or "owned"

    Jump

  • like the chess piece with eight on each side. The one that can be promoted to any other non-king piece once it gets to the other side. pwned is getting your data leaked, being "pawned" means getting taken advantage of/being puppeted by a higher power, and I always linked that to being scammed through a phishing attack (and usually your data has been leaked, you have been pwned)

  • Are platforms like reddit just "internet noise" and bots or just genuinely the darkest parts of humanity?

    Jump

  • No way, beep bop, there aren't any bots on the internet! Beep-doop-bop

    There are a lot of not very nice things on the internet, the meat bags are mean sad beep bop

  • Yunohost, CasaOS, or Cosmos?

    Jump

  • When I got into self-hosting, I was recommended Yunohost. I'm sure it's great, but I couldn't get it to boot, so I ended up using Debian. (which is what Yubohost is running under the hood I believe)

    I remember someone telling me that CasaOS is very simple and could also be a good option, but I have no experience with trying to install it or using it.

    Most of the self-hosting tutorials I found used either Debian or Ubuntu (a derivative of Debian), so using Debian or one of its derivatives could make it easier to figure out how to set up everything.

  • Not sure where to ask this but why do some wall powered usb-c hubs refuse the charge anything until they are plugged into a computer?

    Jump

  • Apple, Samsung, all the Chinese phone brands with their proprietary fast charging standards, HP, Bambu Lab, Nintendo, Xbox, Microsoft, Google, Adobe, etc. etc.

    There's a lot of terrible companies, actually.
