True. But as I found out, the ISO file needs to be stored on a partition formatted with NTFS for that to work.

I have a QR code in my backpack with rickroll that works offline. It has the “Never gonna give you up” ~2 second cut compressed into 8kbps MP3 and embedded into base64 data tag so you can open it in web browser.
But there’s still a better way. OPUS can do as little as 6kbps and still sound better. Modern browsers should support it just as well.

And theoretically speaking, there’s something called codec2 which goes down to 700bps. Maybe the rickroll would still be recognizable with that. That could do ~22 seconds of audio inside a QR code.
Edit: Forget it. This is how music sounds with 700bps codec 2: auphonic.com/media/…/music-test_700bps.c2.wav

user224, 1 year ago to asklemmy in What inconsequential or surprisingly good thing can I get from Aliexpress?

Probably the best thing I got there was clone of RSP1 with selectable band pass filters for €20. 10kHz - 2GHz range with up to 10MHz of bandwidth in Zero IF mode, although it seems it’s more like 8MHz that’s actually usable. It’s not sold where I bought it anymore, but maybe you could still find it.
It’s this one: https://i.imgur.com/ic2dflg.jpg

The only problem is compatibility, and the fact that I had to install some proprietary API from SDRPlay on my laptop as a SystemD service.

user224, 1 year ago to memes in Oh, is that so?

Be happy the shutdown procedure doesn’t start by opening regedit. I wouldn’t be surprised, to be honest.

user224, 1 year ago to memes in Oh, is that so?

Someone installed Windows server 2008 on one of our school computers. The shutdown option was missing. So I asked the teacher about it. He also had no idea how the hell to shut it down. Pressing the power button would just log-out the user.

For at least 2 years it did fine with forced shutdowns.

user224, 1 year ago to linux in Based KDE 🗿

Same, I love AppImages for that. I just wish they also had way to contain configurations instead of putting it on the system. That would make it even more portable.

user224, 1 year ago to asklemmy in I want to study psychology but won't AI make it redundant in a couple of years?

By the way, if you want to try Eliza, you can telnet into telehack.com and run the command eliza to launch it.

user224, 1 year ago to memes in Guess I need some hints for good subs.

Hmmm…

It’s mentioned here: join-lemmy.org/docs/…/03-votes-and-ranking.html so I thought I just didn’t notice it before.
My home instance is currently on Lemmy 0.19.0-rc.5, so there’s some new features, and I thought this one was here already since it’s mentioned on join-lemmy.org.

Anyway, there’s also “controversial” in this new version. Currently the most controversial post on Lemmy is this: lemmy.world/post/3234363

Sorry if I caused confusion to someone else than myself.

I prefer Scaled over Hot as it gives boost to smaller communities making it more fair.

user224, 1 year ago to asklemmy in How do I change my layout back to white background?

Unrelated, but I just noticed that Lemmy 0.19 already allows exporting your settings and choosing to open links in new tab. Cool.

But not only for newbies, just to add.

user224, 1 year ago to asklemmy in Why a user in one instance can't comment on another instance in lemmy? ( not a rant )

Hey! That’s my password! Don’t share it.

user224, 1 year ago to asklemmy in Why a user in one instance can't comment on another instance in lemmy? ( not a rant )

Well, you should be able to.
Maybe lemmy.world had some technical difficulties.
My home instance had issues with outgoing federation for 2 days after upgrading to 0.19.0-rc.x, though that’s expected since 0.19 is still very much experimental.
