Giant 5kg mushroom feeds family for a week in c/andfinally@feddit.uk

This is the way.

Sliced, breaded, and fried puffball makes an excellent fried chicken alternative for food like sandwiches or pasta dishes. I'm always a fan of puffball parm.

[Solved]PC froze, now what? in c/linux4noobs@programming.dev
[–] OneCardboardBox 9 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (8 children)

Sometimes the freeze might be in the display manager. Eg xorg or your wayland compositor has crashed.

In that case, you can use keyboard controls to change tty and fall back to a text interface. I think it's ctrl + alt + Fn$number, where $number will correspond to the tty you want. Most graphical sessions launch on tty2, so you would use crtl + alt + F1 to switch to tty1.

From there you can log in and use terminal commands to launch a new gui session, or to try and debug what went wrong. Generally, I've only had freezing issues on Linux when my GPU is dying. There was also a period where my work computer didn't have enough swap space. It would freeze whenever I tried to compile code during a video call.

I can go to China, buy a book full of propaganda, fly to the USA, and read it with no issue.

I can tune my radio to a shortwave broadcast from Mexico, and there's not a damn thing the FCC will do to stop me.

I don't even fucking like TikTok. It's an amalgam of all the worst dark patterns developed by corporate social media. Of course, nobody in government gives a fuck when Zuck does the exact same thing. I think it really comes down to the fact that as a foreign company, ByteDance can't play the same election fundraising games that American companies do.

How to get over my reddit ""addiction""? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] OneCardboardBox 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I used to browse certain subreddits for negativity bait. Eventually I decided that I didn't want to immerse myself in a negative mindset so often.

The trick for me was to recognize those moments when I was on auto-pilot and navigating to those spaces because I was bored and it was a reflex. I would remind myself that I know it's bad for me, and then force myself to do literally anything else. Go to some other website. Vacuum the floor. Put on some music and go for a walk. Eventually I lost that reflexive instinct, and now I have no desire to go back to those places.

I'm not going to pretend that what worked for me will work for anyone else, nor will I say that I'm now a better person for avoiding those spaces. I've probably replaced that habit with an equally pointless one, it's just nice to not always view things from the context of tearing others down.

Is canceling student loan debt considered stealing? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] OneCardboardBox 4 points 3 months ago

Eh, maybe. Back during feudalism, emancipation of serfs was also considered theft from the nobles who owned the land (and thus the serfs who worked it).

Sometimes governments implemented programs to reimburse the nobles for losing "their" serfs, and sometimes not. Now that we're a couple centuries removed from that drama, we generally accept that the destruction of feudalism was a good thing, regardless of whether it was theft.

There used to be a similar bug in the Roku jellyfin app.

If you can recreate the subtitle issue using test file 5 from this repo, it might be worth submitting a bug report. https://github.com/ietf-wg-cellar/matroska-test-files

Roman military training in c/roughromanmemes@lemmy.world
[–] OneCardboardBox 4 points 4 months ago

This is a reference to an ad for a shitty mobile game. An animated Roman soldier is trying to stab an Egyptian woman but she dodges him by swinging dancing and swinging her hips. It's a city builder game themed around ancient Mediterranean civilizations.

Self-hosting jail? in c/lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world
[–] OneCardboardBox 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Just use docker/podman containers: They're way easier to use and correctly configure than jails.

Podman quadlets will even spin up containers as systemd services. You could automatically assign solitary confinement containers to new inmates on the fly.

Tools for analyzing your own signal in c/sdfarc
[–] OneCardboardBox 3 points 4 months ago

You could use your SDR to record yourself on a random simplex frequency instead of the repeater. Dial down your transmit power to minimum so you're not blasting everyone. After all you only need the signal to reach your SDR. Key up, start with your callsign and announce a microphone test. Then say a short sentence or two while listening to your SDR.

Choose a clear frequency that's slightly off from national simplex and I think you'll be fine.

Amateur radio IP networks. What's out there? (self.hamradio)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/20077977

What cool stuff is going on with IP over ham radio? I want to build simple services accessible to other hams in my area, and would love to learn about what's out there.

  • New Packet Radio: This looks pretty cool, although until the FCC makes a decision on updated VHF/UHF bandwidth and symbol rate restrictions, I'll hold off on buying any dedicated hardware

  • Broadband HamNet: I'm not sure if there's any existing network in my area. Since it's 802.11 with yagis and amplifiers, I feel like you'd need a good density of local users for anything cool to develop.

  • AX.25 with TCP/IP: I might play around with this. It doesn't require equipment except a UHF/VHF radio, antenna, and a computer, so it might be easier to convince others to try it too. Obviously you're very limited in bitrate, but it would be fun to set up a gohper hole or a BBS.

Are there other technologies or projects worth looking into? Even though I'm not personally interested in buying new equipment for it, I'd still like to hear what's out there.

Small animals dying in the window well of my basement (self.homeimprovement)
 

I work in a basement office. There is a below-grade egress window, with a 3-4ft ladder and a large plexiglass dome that you can push out of the way.

I noticed a terrible smell when I opened my window the other day, and it was because of a dead mouse that presumably couldn't get out of the recess. On inspection, I found the remains of several more dead rodents there, so this has been a problem in the past too.

Any ideas on how to prevent this? I both feel bad for the dead animals and am disgusted by the smell when they decay. The plexiglass dome has chicken wire for airflow, so I can't necessarily block those off. Maybe there's some method to repell them, or help them escape?

OpenMW Lua: Music playlist support merged (gitlab.com)

The latest dev builds of OpenMW now support music playlists run from Lua. Mods could now create custom music playlists based on location, weather, combat status, or anything else that can be measured with Lua. The pull request includes a sample mod to play certain music when fighting muscrabs.

I look forward to all the new ambience mods that this will make possible!

Morrowind as my rock (self.openmw)
submitted 11 months ago by OneCardboardBox to c/openmw

Sounds a bit trite, but Morrowind represents a kind of comfy stability for me. I can always go to Vvardenfel any time, and it's always the same place.

Yesterday, I moved houses. The neighborhood is different, there are boxes everywhere, I can't find anything, and there's no internet. On top of that, I get very stressed out whenever even a small thing in my life changes. I try to focus on one task at a time, and that's all I can do.

However, all I need for Morrowind is to unpack my PC, monitor, mouse, and keyboard. Tonight, when the takeout food is gone, but I'm not ready to sleep (in a new room that smells weird), there will be Morrowind.

Figured I'd share some of my favorite OpenMW mods. Today is AttendMe, a cool UI for monitoring your companions. It tracks health, stamina, magicka, as well as whatever spells/weapons they have equipped. I find it very useful for all the slave rescue quests, so I know who to heal.

Maggie Chow: What was her plan? (self.deus_ex)

Played DX a few times, but the only part of the plot that never fully makes sense to me is Maggie Chow:

  • She is an MJ12 plant who knows JC is Paul's brother, but doesn't know he's a fugitive? Or she does know he's a fugitive but doesn't call her MJ12 guards to take him out?
  • She sends JC to the police station on a mission to steal information, but then the information incriminates her. Why? JC even asks her what she expected to happen.

Not so much a plot thing, but I also find it strange that she runs up to fight JC in Versalife with just a sword and no armor. It's the least threatening fight in the game. I know the people in Hong Kong say she used to do Kung Fu movies, it would have been cool if there was some allusion to that during the fight.

Not just for Morrowind: RWC is the first standalone game (demo) written for OpenMW that uses none of Bethesda's proprietary assets (self.openmw)
submitted 1 year ago by OneCardboardBox to c/openmw

Robo Wind Construct (RWC) is a standalone game demo for OpenMW that doesn't use any proprietary assets. It truly shows what can be possible with the OpenMW engine aside from reimplementing Gamebryo games.

https://modding-openmw.com/mods/rwc-robowind/

Following the RWC project in OpenMW discord has been interesting. There's symbiosis between development, where RWC might need a feature that ends up ported to OpenMW and becomes available to everyone! I hope they're able to eventually complete the game.

Interference from power lines? (self.amateur_radio)
 

Just moving in to our first home, and I'm very excited to have the freedom to set up a permanent HF antenna.

I'll probably build a sort of fan dipole and run it along the side of our property. That's the only place long enough to fit. However, the power lines for the neighborhood run over part of our backyard. I'm not worried about my dipole being too close to high voltage power (it won't be) but I wonder if the AC frequency can cause interference on certain bands?
