Completely agree. I'm glad they felt comfortable branching out like this. Much better than just shitting out a bunch of Episode IXs or whatever.

An analogue, I think, is how oddball Star Trek: Lower Decks is. That show 100% works for me, but it was clearly a risk

I actually also dislike almost all of the art styles, but I know that's a personal quirk, so I wasn't going to mention it :P

I found both seasons (I'm a completionist, so I've seen them all) to be about the same as far as story quality, personally. Like maybe one good one each? I don't think season 2 had anything quite as cringe as the Tatooine rock band thing from season 1 though haha

Unfortunately, Visions is mostly bad

How to lower priority of container in c/docker

[–] alloca 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So, I want it to use 100% of all of the cores, but at a lower priority.

It might end up being simpler to just run whisper "directly" on the host machine, so I can nice it like normal

How to lower priority of container (self.docker)

Hi everyone!

I run a few low-resource-usage containers on a home server that also has things that run directly on the metal. I'm starting to run a simple Docker container that just lets me run the Whisper speech-to-text engine. That container basically uses all of my CPU power for several hours, which is fine, but I want to make sure it's not starving other processes of CPU time.

In a non-Docker setup, I'd just nice the program, and that'd be it, but that doesn't seem to work in this context. I've found this Stack Overflow post that recommends using the --cpu-shares flag with docker run, but I haven't been able to find out if that allows you to deprioritize the container relative to everything else using the CPU (such as non-containerized tasks) or just relative to other containers.

Any help would be appreciated!

Is it just me, or is all this talk of "severe heat" in Georgia overblown? (self.georgia)

Every day for the past few weeks, 11 Alive has been going on about a "heat wave" or "severe heat" hitting metro Atlanta (and the rest of the state).

It's in the low 90s.

I've lived in Georgia my entire life, and that's 100% normal. If anything, this has been a cool Summer. Am I nuts?

If fully switching to Lemmy is being harder than you thought, it's perfectly fine to use both Lemmy and Reddit for the time being! in c/[email protected]

I switched to Mastodon almost all at once, but I still check it for, like, five people. I feel comfortable with that. Reddit is much less of a "check it" style thing (it's more of a browsing / doing an activity kind of thing IMO), so I'm not actually quite sure that I'll even end up wanting/needing to go to Reddit

… other than the huge number of [really helpful] Reddit posts that appear in search results.
