See allthe th in rhythm is voiced just like ㄷ. the voiceless dental fricative is represented by ㅆ anyway.
another example of koreans being fucking scammers
they import words the way they sound
they export words the way it's written
the famous example is maknae. I'm sure 99% of kpop fans around the world pronounce it with "k" which is absolutely very very very wrong
why would they do that ??????
blame the romanizers they cut some corners but turns out those corners was half of everything
where did you get my new wallpaper?
writing words how they sound into hangul is a no-brainer but i think some work could be done with korean romanization.
to dumb for boxes/virt manager, to many errors
windows is somehow the best virtual machine host wcyd
install unraid then? or truenas
I can configure everything by hand but I don't want to, so I just paid $60 and don't need to thinker with anything at all
oh yeah what if i dont use it at all for the storage features implied by the scary name
maybe it could be a nice virtual mahine host ill try it next
so you just need a linux host to manage VMs?
virt-manager on any distro should be pretty easy to setup then, I dunno what are you talking about
errors on each form even after checking virtualization is enabled in bios
welp
google them and find the fix
i'm reading a mysterious unraid file called make_bootable.bat to see if there's something suspicious there
i like convention more than configuration if i screw up something later on and have to start from scratch it'll be easier to get back up than configuring the same things from google again
>if i screw up something later on and have to start from scratch
it's linux, not windows, everything is reproducible via configs and shell commands
hint: write all sequence of actions you do into e.g.
install_linux.md
in any text editor, it will make your life much easier if you ever need to replicate thathint2: learn ansible
>learn ansible
never!
you better learn it or else...
don't you know HN commenters are retarded?
even on reddit I haven't seen such idiocracy as in some HN threads. they are too affected by the Dunning-Kruger there
I think you will like https://www.proxmox.com/en/proxmox-virtual-environment/overview
distro specifically made for the VM stuff
looks interesting i'll check it out
maybe it's dumb-proof enough for me
what are you going to do with the disks tho? don't you need them attached to Windows for the Backblaze Backup?
>This may seem lame to many of you, but I was (and am) really turned off by the “popular highlights” feature of Kindle. I don’t love that my highlights and notes are there for Amazon to mine. Maybe Apple does the same, who knows. But I find it distasteful.
annotations you make are automatically shared with all other Kindle devices
proxmox seems amazing and does everything
wonder whats the best way to use debian installer preseed files with it, probably first make one vm manually and set up apache or whatever file server and serve the files from there
you can try ubuntu cloud images
there's a way to provide some sort of config file for the distro image: https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/install/autoinstall-quickstart
so it will automatically set users/network/disks/etc settings on the first run
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5IAdST33ps
so basically use Kindle for reading fiction, use iPad if you want to make notes and learn something
>Personally I would never run Asus/Netgear/Zyxel/etc's all-in-one router firmware on the network's edge. Probably not even on the inside of the network.
>Well depending on how you roll, I've had 2 routers - inside/outside. Guest network, IoTs, etc on the outside. Computers, Phones, Printers on the inside.
a two router strategy
you're worrying too much
think it terms of the threat model: what's the worst hackers can possibly do with the automated attack? (non-targeted)
my computer has all my info so basically the same as internet/phone doctors
they will make my stuff public, everyone will know i'm a kpop fan
how would they access it after hacking the router?
after that roadblock is cleared hack-nim has access to my internal network
then he can easily hak windows just by watching the latest vulnerabilities and applying them before the next patch tuesday
i remember trying to install a fresh windows while the computer was attached to the internet port in the wall, after the installation was complete hack-nim's wurms were are already in the system kind of quick-simulating the experience
that's why I said "non-targeted"
non-targeted will most probably just install botnet client on the router, and maybe scan internal network for the most basic old vulns such as netbios and things like that. it most certainly won't be able to use some Windows 0day because those are too expensive to use non-targeted (because they will be instantly patched)
>scan internal network
wait i'm too lazy to restrict access to my internal kpop apps on local network it's over everybody knows now
>internal kpop apps on local network
it will steal your kpop archive by reverse-engineering the HTTP API
>read 25 pages and procrastinating again
it's all so tiresome
even if I force myself to read, I will certainly just mentally skip 100% of the text
maybe try a pomodoro for an entire day (8 hour) and report back, i'd be curious to hear how it goes
what's the reward?
maybe if I had kiss from Ningning after every 25 minutes of reading
fucken tired of constant context switching between reading a book and adding a note on ipad
paper books are definitely just for entertainment purposes
now need to research, can you add notes on eink reader fast enough, or only on a tablet with LCD screen
does typing a note on an ipad even do anything
at least handwriting notes has some studies backing it, sure it wont be show nicely in the epub you are viewing but you could also write the page number by the note
unfortunately it's not possible to draw on epub because it's text format (unless you screenshot every page but that's stupid)
can convert to PDF and annotate with pencil on that tho, but PDFs might be not so comfy to read
anyway, my idea is to mark the most interesting thoughts in the book during the first read, then open the book on computer, check all the notes, and write my thoughts to the markdown notes app (to aggregate it into a single thing). that way you can probably remember something, and most importantly, have a way to quickly restore the memory by reading that short note again
I'm not sure about the studying efficiency of handwriting vs typing on a keyboard. probably the former is better, but typed notes have they own pros
>you could also write the page number by the note
you mean just annotate in the separate app, like people used to do it with paper books and notebook? I don't like the context switch, huge chore
people used to do even physical zettelkasten by hand tho
>keystroke on a keyboard lacks the creativity of handwriting and won’t challenge memory the way that writing by hand does
just gotta find the whisper equivalent for automatically reading them notes with a phone or whatever and copy paste them in copy paste works between your fone and computer right?
rumor is apples text recognition is amaezing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdlLy-Z1qpw
how about scribbling that way you get best of the 2 words
too lazy to draw every letter tho, seems like a chore
>whisper equivalent for automatically reading them notes
why do you need that?

I was thinking about that for a while, what can one person do with a huge amounts of information floating around? I mean you can save all of that, but can you process it with your brain power?
thousands of posts are being created every day on KPG, dozens of new webms, how do you live with that?
or maybe it's all useless content consumption and you should focus on something more important like science?
while you're spending years saving and watching those 5-second slowdown webms, chaebol sons just having fun with best kpop girls on a parties
sounds not very smart
as long as my top 10 waifus are not going to the parties i will stay sane
what about nugu waifus
>Remember everything. Organize nothing.
>Often when I am stuck on problems, I think out-loud by typing into my notes, which means I can include valuable self reflections and realizations along with my notes, particularly forcing myself to reflect on design approaches that won't work and why they don't work, instead of just keeping it in my head. If I were forced to handwrite these notes (which sometimes I have been), my ability to think was severely bottlenecked by handwriting speed; I can type about 100 words per minute, but I can only write about 15-20 words per minute by hand.
how about handwriting competition
30wpm for the Ning waifu
so with handwritten notes you modify your internal neural nets
with typed notes you put data outside of your brain, but still prepare your neural nets in a certain way, to make them absorb that information very quickly once you see it again
something like internal HDD vs external HDD
games are so expensive on PS5, I need to buy PC probably
i hate that ps+ crap too
oh yeah, it became like 5x more expensive, not buying that shit again
tbh I don't even play much, maybe few games per year and then burn out badly
but sometimes I want to suddenly play some interesting story-driven game and the PS price kills me, it's always so much better on PC

oh I'm thinking about that too
how to choose the best font, background color, line height and similar settings for the book app
leave the default
I chose the theme with the beige background and changed to the sans font (Proxima Nova) and set minimal brightness and enabled Night Shift. but how can I be sure that my settings are the best
seems good enough for an LCD device tho
finished the first small book, was easy enough
not sure if I need to read more
maybe will research eink which has nice note sync capabilities, maybe even with Calibre app on computer, because I'm bored anyway rn
it might be like Zotero
you can install it in docker container on unraid side, interact via web UI, open books both on computer and on eink device, and everything is synced via wifi
might read a lot of books that way which I wanted for a long time
tho not sure if books are good enough for entertainment, might watch movies/tv series/youtube videos instead or read forums

>Annotations for "personal documents" (i.e. any content added to your Kindle account that wasn't bought from Amazon) don't appear, although Amazon does capture them and synchronize them between your devices. If you run the Kindle iOS app, it now has a new feature that allows you to export your "Notebook" (all the notes and annotations for a given book/document across devices) and send it as an .html file in email. (I'm guessing we have the new Kindle Scribe to thank for this.) This file opens in the browser and contains all your annotations for a given book which can be easily copy/pasted into Calibre.

Hello, hi. I have been lurking Kpop content for a while I decided to give in on storing fancams, selcas etc, and I have just filled my extra 1tb ssd - left 100gb for safety. I am gonna buy a hdd and was wondering how much you guys have saved, so I can base on that. A 10tb might be overkill since I don't save anything other than Kpop and I don't like many groups. By the time I come back will be 2024 so, happy new year!
>storing fancams
4K fancams are huge, ~500MB per song. so you can fit only few thousands of them per TB
for photos you don't need much, 1TB will be enough for everything
and if you're planning to hoard some extra kpop content such as concerts, that also takes a lot of space
I can buy Kindle and then sell it if I won't use it
for example if you want to keep some gayo concerts, they are about 30GB each

8GB vs 16GB kindle is the biggest scam since Apple tax
8GB is enough but 16 is just 10-20 dollars more, so why not? and those additional 8gb probably cost amazon just few cents, so they're winning 15 dollars for free
insane
>The truth is, it's not even the size that would be an issue, it's the number of books. I've tried in the past to keep thousands of books on my kindles, and despite getting nowhere close to filling up all that space, the kindles would still start to crash more and function more slowly just because of the number of books. (We're talking probably 3-4K+)
>In other words, you basically can't use up all that space with regular books, because the kindle would stop functioning long before you downloaded 8gb worth of books.
yessss, I found the comment which saved my ass

cool feature
why can't they connect ChatGPT and make it available for all books tho, even user-uploaded
>those books
imagine actually reading it
very cringe list
so he agrees will all ideas I've listed before
make notes and then write your own summary with quotes of the book for best memorization
then cross-link different summaries via the zettelkasten
almost, perfect, maybe need to add Anki for the spaced repetition
although if you cross-link good enough, you will see old notes often too, and have a chance to revisit them in memory
so amazon devs forgot to escape arguments of a shell script?
