eerongal@ttrpg.networkto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Does alcohol expire? Specifically whiskey?14·9 months agoYou’ve obviously gotten the base level answer, but to add some color here - certain types of food, such as dried pasta, rice, beans, grains, high proof alcohol, vinegars, and basically anything frozen to name a few, never spoil in the sense that they’re unsafe to eat.
Flavor, however, is an entirely different matter. Just ask anyone who has eaten freezer burnt food.
Pretty much any high proof alcohol will fall into this category. And, if it’s unopened, it should retain most of its flavor for a very long time. Once opened, however, it can deteriorate relatively quickly, depending on how it was stored.
That was changed a while back, the current restrictions are you can only have as many people playing any given game as you have copies in your current sharing library
eerongal@ttrpg.networkto Games@sh.itjust.works•Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord - Launch TrailerEnglish6·1 year agoDepends on the person. It’s very “old school” in it’s gameplay, and very hard and punishing, grindy, has perma-death, etc.
I’d think most modern gamers would hate it, but I personally like wizardry to games (though it helps that I’m old enough to have played older versions). If you like old school d&d, it’s very much in the same vein. The remake linked here is pretty good, I already own it from early access.
What are you looking to actually do with your programming skills? That will heavily influence which languages to recommend you learn. Do you want to make websites? build games? do AI stuff? Create enterprise-level software? something else?

Basically anyone needs to “outweigh” the standard deduction with their own deductions, because doing otherwise is worse. Technically i think you could forgo the standard deduction and use your own, even if you don’t go over the standard deduction, but why would you?
eerongal@ttrpg.networkto memes@lemmy.world•"No thanks, I research my own charities before making a donation"16·1 year agoThe person who paid the round up donation (i.e. you) is the person allowed to use the donation for their tax benefit. If you save receipts with round up donations, you can deduct them on your taxes, but no one does that.

eerongal@ttrpg.networkto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Broadcom yanks ESXi Free version, effective immediatelyEnglish5·1 year agoI agree with the other poster; you should look into proxmox. I migrated from ESXi to proxmox 7-8 years ago or so, and honestly its been WAY better than ESXi. The migration process was pretty easy too, i was able to bring over the images from ESXi and load them directly into proxmox.
If you invest 80 million and make 80 million in return, it’s a wash, and you wouldn’t pay any taxes because you didnt make any money.
You would have to invest 80 million in a movie, scrap it, and then 80 million in another movie, which goes on to make 160 million in order to have 80 million in profits to offset with an 80 million write off. This would result in a net $0 made for tax purposes.
you can’t just write off anything you want. You only get to write off certain things, but at the end of the day, a tax write off is just a tax deduction for how much you need to pay, in the same way any normal person paying their taxes does. Just like with personal taxes, you can just reduce your tax liability down to 0 if you get enough deductions.
Corporations obviously work differently than for a normal person, but the same basic principle applies.
Edit: i suppose i should clarify - You can take deductions for investment losses. Normal people can even do this. What you’re referring to would be a deduction along those lines, where you’re “writing off” a loss on your taxes. If you invest $100 in stock, and sell when the value is $50, you took a $50 loss, and can deduct those loses from your tax burden, because you’re required to pay taxes on 50 less dollars that year.
I mean, blob (and object storage in general) has been used as a term for a long time. It isn’t particularly new, and MS didn’t invent it.
eerongal@ttrpg.networkto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is there any 5000 mAh power bank with 30W?5·1 year agoif you’re just looking for it to fit in your pocket, i have a zendure brand one that is barely bigger than a credit card in its dimensions, but its 10k mah, 45W. It’s about an inch tall. I know it’s not 5,000 like you are asking, but might fit the bill size wise
eerongal@ttrpg.networkto Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•At the Internet Archive, this is how we digitize a book—one page at a time, by hand.2·1 year agoYeah, firefox doesnt support H.265 it looks like from some googling. Not exactly sure how other people are getting it to work, but it does look like there’s some extensions for firefox to toss the media streams to VLC instead, that could work for you.
eerongal@ttrpg.networkto Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•At the Internet Archive, this is how we digitize a book—one page at a time, by hand.6·1 year agoMP4 is just a container, the specific audio/video streams can be one of several different codecs, and if you don’t have the codec used it won’t work. If you can identify the encoding you could probably just download a codec and be good to go.
Edit: for this video the video codec is
Codec: MPEG-H Part2/HEVC (H.265) (hvc1)
and audio codec is
Codec: MPEG AAC Audio (mp4a)

eerongal@ttrpg.networkto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Planning on setting up Proxmox and moving most services there. Some questionsEnglish8·2 years agoRunning arr services on a proxmox cluster to download to a device on the same network. I don’t think there would be any problems but wanted to see what changes need to be done.
I’m essentially doing this with my set up. I have a box running proxmox and a separate networked nas device. There aren’t really any changes, per se, other than pointing the *arr installs at the correct mounts. One thing to make note of, i would make sure that your download, processing, and final locations are all within the same mount point, so that you can take advantage of atomic moves.
i second the comment that you need to consider why you want to do this. You generally need a pretty good reason to split your codebase into multiple languages.
As far as actually doing it, you have a ton of different options, some of which have been mentioned here. Some i can think of off the top of my head:
basically every approach is going to require you to come up with some sort of API that the two work together through, though, an API in the generic sense is basically a shared contract two disconnected pieces of code use to communicate.
