This is where they keep the orphan-crushing machine.

+1 for Auxio. Been using it nearly a year now, no issues.

I'm a little out of the loop, but a few years ago a lot of ex-corp stuff tended to get dumped on Gray's. Might be worth a look but I have no idea how enshittified it is these days.

This isn't even that farfetched.

Looks like something I saw in a Petri dish once.

Fortification can be used to manipulate some health rating systems. I don't know what system Canada uses, but Health Star is particularly vulnerable to this. Basically you can make a product that's high in fat / salt / sugar look better than it is by adding vitamins. So it makes some kind of sense to restrict fortification to certain classes of foods.

Chinese researchers can access medical information from half a million UK GP records through UK Biobank, despite western intelligence agencies’ security fears in c/technology@beehaw.org
[–] Strayce 4 points 2 days ago

Total nothingburger. BioBank is a research dataset used for cohort studies. There's about 500k volunteers who contributed some genetic material, demographic and lifestyle information, anthropometrics and physiological measurements. It's mostly used to discern possible genetic and lifestyle factors for chronic disease. It's not like they're getting access to the whole NHS database and stealing DNA to build supersoldiers.

I called for a PS5 boycott on here and the mods to ban anyone who admitted to buying one. Didn't work. I called for a PS5 Pro boycott and not only did the mods still not ban anyone, in their responses in c/games@hexbear.net

I love boycotts. They let me feel good about not doing things I wasn't going to do anyway.

Help with Winwing HOSAS in Linux in c/elitedangerous@lemmy.world
[–] Strayce 2 points 4 days ago

I don't know, but you might get better help in the more active Linux gaming subs like !linux_gaming@lemmy.ml or possibly a flight sim sub if there are any.

Do we have clearance, Clarence?

I rewatched this recently, and yeah. You do kinda just have to accept it as a product of its time. The language is incredibly dated, but if you can get past that it mostly still holds up IMO.

Do you have a recommendation for a free Obsidian synchronization method? in c/technology@lemmy.ml
[–] Strayce 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (5 children)

Look into syncthing. Not sure about encryption tho and I'm not in a position to check RN.

Lightweight FOSS CMS with ActivityPub support? (self.selfhost)
submitted 2 months ago by Strayce to c/selfhost@lemmy.ml

I have some downtime at the moment so I'm thinking of reviving my personal blog again. I have enough experience with managed services that I'm reasonably confident to self-host. I'm aware that WordPress / Drupal / Joomla will most likely do what I want, but they're way overkill for my needs and I don't need the extra headaches.

Currently I'm leaning towards ghost, even though activitypub is only in alpha as far as I know. Plume isn't actively maintained any more, which is a shame. WriteFreely is a great project but doesn't suit my aesthetics and doesn't support themes as far as I know. I know connecting a flat-file CMS to activitypub is possible, but seems like way more trouble than I'd like to go to.

Is there anything I've missed that I should be looking at?

Third-party game tools (self.linux_gaming)
 

I'm pretty deadset on switching my Legion Go over to Bazzite (for the controller support). One of the games I play a lot of is Elite Dangerous. While I'm quite sure I can get that up and running, there's a few third-party tools I use like EDMC and Voice Attack. EDMC and the like I'm fairly sure just need to get pointed to the logfiles, but I'm not sure how well VA will operate in a Linux environment. Anyone out there dealt with anything like this? It's not a deal breaker if it just doesn't work, but I'd like to know ahead of time.

Mouse recommendations, anyone? (self.pcmasterrace)
 

Normally I'd go to r/mousereview for this kind of thing, but fuck that website.

Can anybody recommend me a mouse that isn't going to fuck out inside of a couple years? Was previously using an Ironclaw until the USB port went, replaced it with a Basilisk and the scroll on that one's started to jitter up and down now. I have fairly large hands and tend to use knuckle claw grip. Wireless is a must, builtin battery preferred, but requiring a single AA isn't a dealbreaker. I don't mind heavy, prefer a little weight tbh.

Not entirely sure where this belongs by hexbear etiquette (pluralistic.net)
 

But the guy behind it is a god-tier troll, and Cory Doctorow generally doesn't suck IMO. Enjoy.
