Power captures power. Money is a form of power, but there are many forms and the powerful tend to try to grab more power no matter the situation.

Perforated galvanized plumbers strapping. While most of my equipment is wall mountable, I used exactly this sort of thing for all the power supplies.

Likely similar to whatever you're planning to use with the plastic strap, but more metal is more betterer

You think that's all they produced?

If people decentralize and stop hopping on the biggest few instances, that'll help a lot.

People can then just hang out on smaller instances and federate to other communities, and the load will be spread out a lot more.

I watched the godfather for the first time a few months ago.

It might still be playing.

The computer subsystem and the display subsystem are different, largely independent things. Regardless of what your computer is doing, the system that transports data between the video chip and the LCD will always be sending that data at 60 frames per second. It doesn't care what your CPU is doing, it's a bunch of separate independent pieces of hardware. Meanwhile, the rest of your computer is doing the game logic and rendering the frames and sending them to the video memory and that could be happening at any frame rate. Your screen will always be running at 60 hertz, but you could have anything from one frame per second to 3000 frames per second and that just refers to the number of times per second you are updating the frame buffer with new data.

Some video games have a setting called vsync, and what that does is it will limit updating the frame buffer to do so only once while the screen is showing one frame. The benefit of doing this is if you are updating your frame buffer in the middle of drawing a frame, you can have it where half the frame is the previous frame and half of the frame is the next frame, this is called tearing because it looks like the screen is being torn in half.

"no" followed by 28 null characters and a small code payload that'll crash their server (ok won't work but it'd be funny)

I'm not opposed to intellectual property because there's an argument for providing a limited time monopoly to the creators of works to provide incentive to make works public. Without any such incentive, it's entirely possible that the monetization structures for different works change, for example locking content behind restrictive systems that don't allow for personal use at all.

The key is "limited time". If you can't make your money back in 15 years, then maybe it's time to make a new thing? The idea that someone should own a thing you made after you're dead is stupid -- how exactly will that promote you to create new works? If you're dead, your creating days are over except for creating plant food out of your bones and organs.

I put my money where my mouth is, and the legal page of the graysonian ethic specifically lists that the book is put into the public domain or license after Creative Commons CC0 license after 15 years from the date of first publishing.

There's a button in settings to not show bot accounts. I clicked it when I realized how many posts were just reddit mirror bots

 

I saw it today when I was fixing my xmpp server...

I recall mqtt being a standard for getting measurements from iot devices?

So is it for sending data...or receiving... Both? Neither? Am I fundamentally misunderstanding what mqtt is?

 

I had checked the box and couldn't figure out why it thought I had 2 notifications when I had none showing, and eventually I realized a bot responded to my posts.

 

Seems odd that if you win by 0.001% that's treated the same as if you win by 50%. "You barely won, here's the same mandate as someone who won soundly"

Probably a bad idea, but there's an idea in there that isn't dumb.

 

Had a problem with my headphones.

They're a pair of gorsun ear buds. No physical buttons but they do register touch capacitively.

After a tumble through the wash the two earbuds had become decoupled. I could pair both independently, but they didn't register as a pair of earphones but as two single earbuds.

Turns out I had to hold the button to turn them off, then hold the button to turn them back on (apparently that works on capacitive buttons), and when they were in pair mode I pressed both at once and the flashing light turned blue on both. After returning them both to the charger to reset them I could pair them both as one pair of earphones.

I know most people probably don't care right now about such a thing, but I like posting when I find a sort of unintuitive solution to a problem since I'm sure I'm not the only one to have the same issue and someone else might come looking someday. (In the past, I've clicked on a link to solve a problem, and it's like "oh! It's me! I solved this problem!" And I do whatever I said to fix the problem)

Since I couldn't find any in a quick search, I created a homeschooling community on my instance since I want a place to post if I see anything particularly interesting.

 

It feels like simulations and simulacra; The song was written in nostalgia for a long gone game console, and today I'm listening with nostalgia to a song that's almost as old now as the game console was then.

 

I was waiting until I saw something show up in my feed to verify and I just saw it.

Peertube is the fediverse version of youtube. Different peertube instances can connect together so people can view videos from all over the Internet from the one user interface.

I was running some testing figuring out what I could federate with, and I found that if I plug the URL from a peertube channel into my lemmy search, it shows up like a community. Then I can follow it and new videos will show up in my lemmy feed. (I expect the same would work in kbin)

So for example, the minetest videos channel is at https://share.tube/c/minetestvideos/videos -- Just plug this URL into search, and suddenly minetestvideos is a community you're following on lemmy or kbin, and new videos will show up in your feed and you can watch them and comment on them right from here!

It's a really great example of how ActivityPub support lets you connect things you'd never expect to be able to connect. Imagine if on reddit you could just subscribe to a youtube channel!
