learning online is way more effective and efficient.

Take it from someone who was at university during the pandemic, noooo it is not

Many larger places have replaced the paper tag with an eink display these days, it’s actually hard to notice it’s not paper unless you look closely

I would recommend you use Zigbee2MQTT instead of the built-in ZHA. It seems to play nicer with certain devices. I also used the dimmer switch method to reset a hue bulb I had and it connected perfectly.

From what other people have said and from the occasional video that’s popped up on Youtube, Discord has a library of CSAM content that its automated systems match against and there are certain individuals that try to bait people to post seemingly innocent pictures that are actually frames from said videos. Discord’s systems see that the image is a frame from such material and will auto-ban the account

Framework 16 does have a dedicated GPU option, and it’s upgradable.

No no, Liberty getting smaller and fading away in the background is perfectly on brand

Thanks for letting me know about that link - weirdly, there was nothing wrong with the link I posted, there just seems to be a bizarre issue on YouTube’s end where that handle in particular just doesn’t work?! Fortunately the legacy /channel/[channel-id] url format does work so I’ve been able to fix it. Thanks for recommending MechWest, it looks awesome!

Here’s a wildcard people might not know about: Raspberry Pi Imager

I use it because it’s faster than Etcher and it also has a bunch of quick links to download popular images (mainly for RPI and other arm-based SBCs) in one click which is handy if you use those regularly.

Are we counting Vivziepop’s helluva boss?

Damn it, I had the feeling there was a big one I’d missed! Thanks for these, I’ll add them to the list

Edit: done, and also clarified note 3. Note 3 only really exists because looking at Browntable’s channel it’s not actually that easy to find Interstellar Ranger Commence unless you know to go looking for it.

I learned python from codecademy back in the day, are they still around? I remember their examples/course being very interactive and completely free

I recently set up Fedora Kinoite on my dad’s laptop for him and he seems very happy with it. Kinoite is the atomic/immutable version with KDE Plasma by default. Once I’d set up a couple of things everything else he needs can be installed with flatpak (just make sure to set Flathub as the default and disable the Fedora flatpaks repo that ships broken packages all the time)

To be fair, the hardware is pretty phenominal. The whole trying to lock customers into their ecosystem after they felt enough people had purchased their products was a whole next level of scummy though. We must be vigilant as a community in not letting them creep in antifeatures now they’ve backtracked. I keep mine in LAN only mode and will be switching to Orcaslicer as soon as the flatpak hits Flathub which should be soon.

You joke, but this is a real problem in computing Obligatory link to Tom Scott video.

Republicans: Nooooo we can’t add flouride to the water supply

Also Republicans: mmm tasty lead

I read about ActualBudget and although it’s not the most useful thing for me (I only have one bank account and my finances are about as simple as you can get), I spun up a docker container for it anyway out of curiosity. It allows you to categorise all your transactions and set up rules with simple name matches and even regex for more advanced matching. It took me a couple of hours to create all my rules but future transactions should now be categorised automatically. There’s also a tab where you can setup charts and graphs to see visually how much you’ve spent on certain categories in the last X days and so on.

It might be overkill for what you’re looking for, but you might find it useful or just nice to have for other reasons, and it certainly should cover your use case.

Matrix isn’t fediverse though. It is Federated but uses its own protocol

Exit = vacate… Vacation…

Californication?

• Covid
• Ebola
• 9/11 and the “war on terror”
• The cold war
• WW2
• WW1
• a whole host of other things before that

The world has felt like it’s ending to a lot of people for many generations, yet somehow it never does. I’m not denying that the world is in a pretty awful state right now, but we have to hope things will get better because otherwise they never will.

… My vacuum actually does run Linux.

!It’s a roborock with Valetudo installed so it doesn’t need internet access!<

The original switch also had an option with grey joy cons
