Yep, 99% of the time that’s the case around here. Live next to a well trafficked road and have heard enough to identify a modded exhaust. It’s very rare that the loud assholes have stock exhausts, they usually put money into buying loud shit or just slice their old one off for good measure.

Also, even the modded exhausts wouldn’t be so bad if the drivers didn’t intentionally gun it just to make noise.

Then come the motorcycle groups, they’re the absolute worst. Even one is bad, but when a group of 50 travel through here on a quiet day it’s just… sad, enraging etc.

They’re the loudest we get around where I live, if ANYONE is breaking a noise ordinance it’s them, 50× over but I’ve never seen them pulled over or ticketed.

I don’t care if they’re loud, go do that on a “back road” where the houses are an acre away, don’t do it on a small street where babies are sleeping barely 20 feet away from you. At that volume, being that close they’d might as well knock on your door and scream in your face.

Question. 🤚

I’m pretty sure you can imagine what that would be like

Hehehe devil emoji meow

I tried to do that, somewhere between installing python, fit, bash, chocolatey, stable diffusion itself, the model, etc.

On the very last step, where I was waiting for it to say “running in 127.003” or w/e I got an error message that it somehow couldn’t access my GPU (maybe because it’s internal?). It gave me a command argument to place, --skip- cuda-test or something like that but I have no idea where to put it.

It definitely can be installed and used on the PC but isn’t as simple as just installing from an .exe, there are a lot of moving parts

Exactly. Not sure why cars are the exception other than profit

Though in retrospect I do retract, or admit maybe my view on only allowing cars that go to 70 mph is flawed, can’t hate on people that want fast cars, it’s up to them if they want to upgrade and have something nice, I do too, but it is definitely excessive

Nice post idea this is great

Exactly! It’s ridiculous. My father is disabled and on a fixed income. He has insurance but his treatment still costs him thousands a year, even though he only receives a few thousand to live on.

Exactly, and tbh if we stopped making vehicles today people would still be driving many years from now, feel like we should really… stop mining the earth for resources to then use making things people don’t even need so we can be richer… just make vehicles repairable again and focus on that.

Maybe, instead of everyone buying brand new cars we can just upgrade our old ones, like a PC.

So you want the latest Dodge body to look cool? Okay, we’ll just pop that onto you’re already existing frame, no need in buying a new engine/chassis etc if you’re only seeking an aesthetic change anyway

Speaking of that… all this $ people pay for faster cars when they’ll only really drive them between 30-70mph is ridiculous. Why even make commercial cars faster than the speed limit? Just so dummies can drive drunk at 120mph and hit a family head on? Until we get an Autobahn there’s just no need for it.

No need for 16 year olds, anyone really to have a V8 with 900 horsepower just give them something that will go the speed limit and save the fucking resources

When I buy a vehicle, I touch it, if it’s solid metal hey awesome, if it’s plastic or fiber whatever I just nope out because I’ve seen what happens when they’re in the smallest of accident.

I can pull a ding out of metal, or even just stop by pull apart and pop a replacement door or whatever off something similar. Can’t do that when half the frame shatters in impact, might as well buy another car which is exactly what they want us to do

I feel like it would make a huge difference. They’re planning obsolescence for vehicles and equipment now too. I have a tractor from the 70’s that’s still running fine, why? Because they used to make them with the idea that the consumer can and should be able to perform their own maintenance and repair, for a farmer back then a tractor was a huge purchase and was expected to last many years. I

Meanwhile, the new ones require being brought to the shop for all kinds of things, many can only be fixed with software that most people don’t have, if available at all.

Instead of repairing what they have, companies want people to just buy new stuff every couple of years if not sooner.

It’s just sad when stuff from 50 years ago will still last longer than something you purchase today.

Regarding automotives and equipment, old machinery could last forever really, with the right replacement parts, but those are getting extremely hard to find as well with everyone just buying new instead of repairing what they have. It’s something else…

Maybe not with smart devices, but the automotive industry is headed the same way. I can repair a truck from the 70’s and keep it running forever with the right parts, and even with some not-so right ones.

Nowadays for example, a tractor or truck from 2020 can’t be repaired like that, they’re installing systems that we-the user and even our mechanics can’t access so you absolutely HAVE to take it back to them for repair. That’s just wrong, these trucks have absolutely no need for software like this, it’s only purpose is to prevent people from repairing things they’ve already paid for.

I like how it just looks like regular hitler

What do you mean by running them locally?

The most micro, half inch? 😂 I don’t have a micropenis, no need to be gentle with your answer but pretty sure it wouldn’t be enjoyable

Nice vagina btw, not saying that in a horndog fashion but it’s very well shaped and whatnot

Not shitting on your preferences but genuinely curious, what about a micropenis?

Sheesh, does that mean Lemmy.ml is property of Mali now or was that sorted out? Weird to think

Hey just joined and already have a question but first, thanks for what you do!

Anywho, so a 12 core, 32gb ram server is $125 a month? Do servers have to be rented like this, subscribed to?

Just makes me wonder why, say just using a PC with the same specs wouldn’t be preferable? Issues with internet speed, bandwidth, storage, reliability or something else? I know servers are quite expensive to buy brand new but am curious as to why used servers and setting one up at home aren’t viable for stuff like this?
