Notes...

In North America, using Xfinity for reference. I want to create both a home NAS and offline Wiki/media backup. Problem is to get the amount of data I need would blow through my plan and throttle my speed. I guess I could try and do it over a longer period or download just before the billing cycle renews so even if I go over it...

Before I say anything else, I should mention that this is nothing ground-breaking, neither is it terribly difficult to implement. This is simply how I envision a simple solution....

I know people who only poop at home. I can’t imagine being out in space for years. With holodeck technology… Someone is bound to have written a program that simulated their bathroom at home.

My wife and I rarely cook turkey for Thanksgiving. This year we’re coming Cornish hens. In previous years we’ve cooked duck, leg of lamb, and rib roast. It’s not that we don’t like turkey, but there are lots of other things that I think I’d prefer eating....

I hate that I always compare Lemmy to Reddit, but Reddit used to have (not sure if they still do) guidelines called “Reddiquette” that included guidelines about upvoting and downvoting. I don’t remember the specifics (and sending too much of my browser traffic to Reddit makes me feel dirty) but one of the guidelines was...

common complaint about movie audio is ‘the speech is too quiet and the action is too loud’. this can be resolved with dynamic range compression or normalization. ffmpeg provides a normalization filter called dynaudnorm which u can use in mpv via --af=“dynaudnorm”.

Will we all be fucked or is there a Linus 2?

I’m shopping for a VPN providers, and really struggling to find a detailed and non-biased breakdown of the various options. A number of years ago, I recall finding an extremely detailed VPN comparison spreadsheet that had 30+ columns, which were contained criteria by which the VPNs were judged both quantitatively and...

For years I was in a bi-monthly cooking group. We usually met at a friends house and would make dinner there. One night all those terrible things your mom and your aunt Sally forced on you came up....

Just exploring about this tp-link XN020-G3v router. I’m mostly interested in connecting to the UART, won’t be tinkering with electronics of it, but out of curiosity I tried to search what these chips are. and I couldn’t find much about the big chip. Can anyone describe the 4 main chips on it ? Best would be datasheet, but...

I once heard that in the middle of 20th century, public transportation in the USA was widely privatized and bought by automotive manufacturers, and then wilfully left to rot, so that people would buy more cars....

So I am planning on buying an ipad, never owned one before. I have always been an android guy and from what I have heard Ipad os or ios is pretty restrictive in nature so I was wondering how much does it hamper the piracy experience. For example on android I can torrent files of any nature or size without any restrictions and...

Anyone know a good place to find them? :)

It feels like social media fakeness is seeping through into real life more and more. and every one is working harder on perfecting their façade ?...

Is it possible to do it? Is it less hassle than trying to play nice with Google or Microsoft in order not to have your email sent to spam or not received at all?

Can commodity products detect which pixel you’re looking at on a screen?...

What stopped working:...

A friend’s son wants some cards… here (SEA), they are all (or mostly) fake. So, another friend is coming back from Japan soon and went to a couple of stores… they sell out instantly in the morning apparently. Is this normal? Are there any recommended sites for getting boosters and whatnot?

Hey guys I’m currently working on a presentation about accessibility and I noticed that Linux seams not to have any systemwide subtitle support like windows 11 and MacOs(beta feature). Does anyone of you know a project that can do that or is there simply no solution for this problem.

I just upgraded my nvidia driver and kernel on tumbleweed and now my main monitor can’t go to 240hz without losing input. Am I the only one? It works fine on 60 and could work perfectly on 240hz before the update
