I originally did this and ended up having to remake my account on .world. I just couldn’t stand the negativity and constant fighting on .ml. I was able to find a non-ml alternative to every community I was subscribed to. YMMV but it was completely worth it for me
I really want to switch but I need a launcher that lets me swipe on the dock left and right like how I can with home screen pages
I recently got into records but I wouldn’t consider myself an audiophile. I have a AT-SB727 “Sound Burger” and I usually connect it to a SoundCore Mini. The whole setup was under $200 on sale.
The main advantage for me is that it’s somewhat portable. I have 0 wires to mess with, not even a power cord. I’m sure the audio quality isn’t great but I like watching the record spin and listening to albums from start to finish.
I do have a different old record player (Sansui P1000) but it needs to be connected to AC then that has RCA connectors that need to go to a stereo which then has copper wire speakers. It sounds a lot better but also it’s a lot less portable
The sound burger does come with a line level RCA output so maybe it does sound as good when connected to an actual stereo. I want to get an elliptical stylus upgrade in the future which is supposed to help with sound quality
This reminds me of the old cloud to butt extension
So instead of selling on both Sparkfun and Adafruit, having what seems like a monopoly on Teensy style boards, Sparkfun decided it would be smarter to stop selling to Adafruit and force their hand to make an open source competitor
That’s an interesting business decision…
I run rfactor 2 on Linux. Might be an option for a more causal sim racer. It’s funny because I know other racing sims are more popular but my local VR racing sim location mainly runs rfactor 2 as well.
It runs on Linux, not sure if VR works with Linux though. I suspect the Steam frame may change that
When did cemu get shut down? Looking at their GitHub there was a commit 5 hours ago. Still looks pretty active?
Weird. These are really popular with Catholic people in Canada. They are found in Catholic Churches, schools and usually the center of dinner tables during Advent. It’s always an evergreen wreath with 3 purple candles, 1 pink candle and 1 center candle which is unusually white. The wreaths at church get lit at Sunday Mass, one candle for each week of Advent then the center one on Christmas. Generally wreaths at dinner tables are the same but you will light them at Sunday dinner (I can’t remember if they get lit throughout the week as well and you just light the same number of candles as the same week of Advent)
I know people who aren’t religious or no longer are, sometimes still use a wreath without candles as a centerpiece for their dinner table in the winter. It just provides a nice Christmas feel, similar to a door wreath
Work: RustRover on MacOS Personal: RustRover on Bazzite
Mainly language support plugins: Python, .env, mermaid
I’ve found LocalSend really nice for this purpose. If you need to send stuff over your wifi to other devices but not sync it in the background it’s really nice
Thunderbolt is exactly that.
Thunderbolt 2 and Mini Displayport used to have the same connector. Since Thunderbolt 3, it now uses the USB C connector.
Thunderbolt 5 supports Displayport 2.1. I wish more devices used Thunderbolt compatible USB C ports. Or GPUs came with a Thunderbolt port on them. They’re pretty awesome, it’s like better USB C.
It seems like only laptops really use them to allow docking through a single cable
I’m running a self hosted Gitlab instance right now but thinking of switching to Forgejo. Anyone tried both and have thoughts on each?
Pinball Deluxe Reloaded
It’s a fun little time waster, I like that I don’t have any ads on it either
I switched to Firefox from Chrome back when they were branding it as Firefox Quantum and honestly I have been happy with it. It has been just as fast as Chrome if not faster, it might use more memory but unused memory means your computer could be caching more.
I don’t love the stuff Mozilla has been doing recently but it’s not enough to make me switch. I think the brand redesign in 2024 was pretty horrible, moz://a was genius design compared to the P thing they have now. I think they have also been chasing AI stuff recently. Mozilla has done some pretty cool things in the past though like Rust, Servo and Fluent.

I’ve always heard this as “You can lead a horse to water but you can’t force it to drink”
If this had cellular connectivity it could actually be a pretty cool phone. The battery life is probably good too
Would having a synced Keepass database with a composite key protect against this?
When I made my database I created a composite key file that never goes online. I locally copy it to any device that needs to access the database. The idea was even if the password got compromised you can’t access the database without the key file
