Shifter, the cycle commuting channel is in Peertube too. Some the best cycling video content in the fediverse! (for now at least)

There are some niche features, but if you're not aware of them then no. It's just licence encumbered btrfs for the majority of us.

I recall someone criticised how nowadays a battery is fitted into every single electrical appliance. They were very much in favour of the good old cord, and the example they brought up was shavers.

It does make some sense. Likely you're only ever using it at home right next to a power outlet and the battery is one of the first parts to give in.

Heck this looks like a great community. Thanks for the ref!

How does this compare to Liberapay? It's already opensource and quite good.

[–] Tiuku@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ohh yeah. I have an ancient kindle with ads. But once it's 6 months or so without internet it will drop them.

And just to be clear I'm not endorsing amazon. Get something else. I'm just wearing that one out.

Hard to believe that it would have taken till this day for someone to do this, given that birds are the obvious example of flight.

It just had a graphical overhaul!

Liberapay is an open source nonprofit option.

I haven't used strava but perhaps OpenTracks?

More likely the dog would just chew on the jacket.

I haven't read the books. Is there any background for choosing vodka martinis in particular? As opposed to, say plain vodka. Was it just a more socially acceptable dose of alcohol?

[–] Tiuku@sopuli.xyz 2 points 6 months ago

Yeah I'm sure there is an audience out there. But you guys probably get your inspiration from somewhere other than films, and don't leave your glasses half full.

Keep at it 👍🏻

 

They seem so good in the movies, but actually taste mostly just like straight vodka, which most people aren't going to enjoy.

Looking for some self-contained grimdark books to read. Most of the genre seems to be the form of trilogies or even longer series, but I'm not looking to start a long project right now. Just a single story within one book, and then move on to other stuff (unless I get hooked..)

The internet didn't come up completely short on this topic. This article contains some recommendations already.

Bored on holidays or miss Omegle? Come chat with us on MeroChat!

It's a web based random chat where you're presented with a flow of user profiles, whom you can choose to chat with. And of course someone else might find you the same way and send you a message out of the blue (provided your privacy settings allow it).

And here's the code. (Written in PureScript!) A lot remains to be done but it's a joyful thing already.

 

The stove in my new apartment was a fluke, but with a couple immersion heaters I got better boils than I've ever had!

There's nothing wrong with my old PC case, except I'd like some USB-Cs in the front panel.

The panel itself is unfortunately integrated, but it's possible to get additional front panels to 3.5" and 5.25" slots (the ones traditionally used for CDs etc). Here's one example from akasa with at least one USB-C: https://akasa.co.uk/search.php?seed=AK-ICR-36

It's perfectly fine if I have to just disconnect the integrated USB-A ports due to lack of motherboard connectors. They suck anyway.

So, please share recommendations for such devices. Let's not let those old cases go to waste!

 

Excellent resource for USB4 M.2 enclosures.

Be aware though, the word is these things run hot.[^chip]

[^chip]: Apparently it's not just the drives. The chips themselves heat up.

 

My bike is exposed to the sun on the balcony where I keep it. This is probably not so great for the leather saddle, so I improvised a sun cover from some wire and folio. This highly advanced design doesn't trap heat underneath.

 

I've used to be able to play this game just fine at around medium graphic settings through Proton (GE), but today when I launched it again after a while the performance was just really poor.

Like mouse-moves-at-30fps-in-the-menu-poor.

There have been plenty of package upgrades since my last launch including plasma 6, proton and the game itself. So I don't really have any particular suspects here.

Running Arch with AMD GPU. Wayland/Xorg didn't seem to make a difference.

Has anyone else experienced similar performance degrading in this or another game lately?

Full of totally useful stuff. I recommend checking it out.
