Never understood people who still use foam when air mattresses exist for the same price. They are so much better for comfort, insulation, weight, and packability.

They were embracing, and separated themselves after the camera spotted them.

Ahh, just realized the Mautrix Signal bridge I use no longer requires SignalD

An unfathomably long list of projects and things to learn.

I like to pick up hobbies that require me to learn skills. Like sure, you could buy a 3D printer, orrrr you could build a Voron, learn FreeCAD, learn to filament tune, add a DIY air filter, add a DIY filament changer, and on and on.

Wrong alert. It's multiple scans of an old photograph.

The author points out systemic issues with Flathub, why it needs to improve, and then, through some crazy rationale, still recommends it because:

Although Fedora Workstation works well for most users, and although quality and reliability has improved considerably over the past decade, it is still far too easy for inexperienced users to break the operating system

Without stating "how" it is too easy for this to occur. Flathub is not a "fix", it's a host of other problems, many of which are in the article itself.

At room temperature methane is lighter than the atmosphere on Earth's surface, not heavier.

However, pressurized in your body it may he heavier. I see no studies measuring this.

His wife told News 12 Long Island in a recorded interview that she was undergoing an MRI on her knee when she asked the technician to get her husband to help her get off the table. She said she called out to him.

Where does it say he ran in? I mean, what you say sounds right, but this doesn't read like "freaking out"

Edit: Sounds like she did not freak out, but called to him to help her stand up after it was complete (bad knee), but before he was authorized to enter. This seems more like an honest mistake and tragedy. https://www.cnn.com/2025/07/20/health/mri-machine-death-long-island

How is signald broken? I'm using it with Matrix now just fine.

Is there a working Signal+Prosody setup?

The problem is interpretation. You read it one way because of your life context and frame of mind. Many others will have a different interpretation.

Yes they are called "transports".

As for when I tried to change the URL, I was moving all services from publicly resolvable DNS to .lan, and Matrix is an issue because you can't change that after the fact, even if you haven't federated.

 

Is anyone maintaining a centralized filament profile database for Voron and other FOSS printers like the Sovols? Understanding it would require filtering by hotend/extruder, etc, but seems like this would be something that exists somewhere.

 

Hi all,

I run a private self-hosted Synapse server with bridges for:

  • Signal
  • WhatsApp
  • Doscord
  • IRC
  • Google Voice
  • Custom APIs

I am thinking of switching to XMPP. Can anyone recommend a good Docker-based server and transport combo that I could test out?

My partner ran across this thread randomly when searching for something else. This is the epitome of mid 2k internet arguments between the dumb and the not so dumb. It's 5 pages long, and I bet if you start it, you will finish it.

It revolves around a debate of how long a week is, what working out "every other day" means, and everyone else laughing at them along the way.

 

The author of Holism and Evolution, Jan Smuts, used the Greek word "holos" as the root of "holism" instead of "whole" (the book was English, and "whole" was commonplace). In later years, wholistic was coined, but never caught on. While there could be other reasons for the choice than making it sound more scientific, it sure seems to be the case.

This is one of those examples of the English language that annoys me.

So there are tons of 12"x9" magnetic grids out there for dropping screws onto when taking apart electronics, but my projects typically involve integration into other materials.

Having a sewing mat (about 24"x18") with all the metric/imperial grid lines and angle lines, but with a magnetic backing for holding screws in place would be perfect.

Has anyone ever tried to make a DIY magnetic desk pad? And if so, how did it go?

 

I don't think this is how it is supposed to work.

Really wish the DLC for this was still available. Slay away Camp is good, but this was so much better and I missed out on the DLC..

 

Testing outbound federation.

 

It's 6:30 hands down.

 

Hi all,

I'm going to try getting Zwift (a game that connects to Bluetooth, WiFi, or ANT+ bike trainers) running in Linux.

I'm pretty sure I can do this with my trainer since mine supports WiFi connectivity, but am curious as to if I could make it work with trainers that only support BT or ANT+.

I've previously done stuff like USB and PCI pass-through with KVM, but is this possible with Steam and Proton?

Thanks.

 

Hi all,

I've been thinking about picking up an N150 or 5825U MiniITX board for a NAS, but I'm wondering if there are better options given my requirements.

  • At least 2x 2.5Gb LAN
  • A 10Gb LAN, or 2.5Gb if not
  • 2x NVME
  • 8x SATA for spinning disks
  • 2x SATA for SSDs
  • MiniITX is required for the 10" rack
  • 64+ Gigs of RAM (ZFS cache) (This is not possible on an N150)

The problem I'm running into with the boards I've looked at is PCIe lanes, and not having ways to expand the sata or network ports without stealing from NVME.

I've started to look at boards with PCIe 4.0x16 slots and risers/splitters for expansion, but then I can't find low power CPUs for them.

Thoughts?
