Last Notes npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle The presentation that looked fine in OnlyOffice on one PC looks like total garbage in OnlyOffice on a different PC. Time to work out how I'm holding this wrong.... npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle *goes to donate* npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle Try giving it 'nearby devices'. npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle There is a satirical tool to check. npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle What if SMD solder difficulty but also train. npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle Haha, plain text emails from web outlook enact auto formatting after being sent when viewed in Outlook the program. I find this out after it has been happening for months. i.e looks as I intend on my screen, utter nonsense on receiver's screen. npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle Back to merely $900. If you can get them. npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle https://mediacdn.aus.social/media_attachments/files/116/082/873/337/489/657/original/2f628bff42cc4274.jpg npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle Oh good, Windows rebooted over the weekend while running a 2 day job. npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle One of those sticks is now $2400. This is not a rational market npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle Does BOM have a weather feed Gnome/Fedora can ingest? I just noticed it has a weather option, but it pulls seemingly incorrect data from the Norwegian Meteorological Institute. I have checked the location is correct several times. npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle It is also an anagram of 'Riot, compost, frolic'. Which seems to be the todo list of half of fedi. npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle I have been handed an external hard drive which is going 'click' and asked to fix it. npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle Battery nerds, is there any advantage to a new nimh charger vs one from 20 years ago? About to order a pile of laddas and wondering if I add a charger. npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle I knew 'RAM price up' was a current thing. I did not appreciate how much of a thing. I paid $340 for two 32GB ECC DDR4 sticks mid 2024. One of those sticks is now $630. Madness. npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle As a Fedora user for about 9 months I've entirely given up on watching videos directly. Browser window (e.g Jellyfin) or VLC in Lutris appear to be significantly less buggy. npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle Get it a friend with Telecom? npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle https://mediacdn.aus.social/media_attachments/files/115/586/825/644/310/237/original/3393671eb7a85a6d.png npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle https://mediacdn.aus.social/media_attachments/files/115/570/707/838/609/683/original/579dfd4a889fc615.png npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle I have misplaced a bag of wee..... npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle A nappy somehow got into the wash. The collateral damage is incredible. npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle #Linux users, immediately after you do a new install what do you still have to do? I've been perplexed by what is and isn't included or available in the installer(s) and curious if this experience is ubiquitous. My experience is with #debian , #devuan , and #fedora. npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle Fourier was just an infinite number of cosine waves in a trenchcoat. npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle Instructions for the most fun possible. npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle Installing R on Fedora is mildly hilarious, the package manager does not let you search for a single letter. Then CLI tells me it has 493 dependencies to install..... npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle Has anyone successfully put Linux on a videobrochureaustralia box? There are a bunch at work and I'd like to repurpose this manufactured waste before someone chucks it. npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle #grapheneos folk, is it possible to output audio to multiple bluetooth devices? npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle A colleague misheard a patient listing their medical history. They then searched for the nonexistent acronym they misheard. Their search engine's 'AI assistant' dutifully made up* a matching condition. They did not realise the result was from the 'AI' and brought it to a meeting...... npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle Is this something that gets easier with donations? npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle How to instantly fix a hardware fault: Buy and deploy a replacement. Then retest the original. npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle Wait what? Without government subsidy 28 tabs of duloxetine in Australia is $10. Am I reading correctly? $500 in USA? After negotiated discounts? npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle The real revolution we need in UI is desynchronized visuals and response.... And making the enter key safe to press without a risk confirming whatever just blinked on screen and stole focus. npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle Once a few connectors go T total it drives momentum in reducing 'wine and dine' culture. npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle Anyone using #eufydoorbell and #pfsense? It is the only thing I can't get working. Video feeds are fine (across the local network or via mobile data), but changing settings only works 1 time in 10 and I don't get notifications anymore. npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle obtain pineapple? npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle Do any of you wise folk know where I can set the time in #devuan #xfce in the GUI? Not the timezone. Not the NTP server. Just setting the time to overide the other things. npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle Deploying an AI thing was impetus for an organisation I work with to get an independent security audit. A lot of things were found and fixed that were in preexisting workflows unrelated to AI. 'Russian AI zero days' are a great excuse to fix all the things needing fixing. npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle Why so stigmatising? npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle This is BSD erasure. npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle Since there’s been a resurgence lately of the “mastodon is mostly just for folks who use Linux” thing … npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle My normal philosophy when buying new types of tools is start with a cheap one, then upgrade when I understand how/if I use it. npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle #openstreetmap nerds, how do I add search keywords to a place? I've put the key info in a description tag, but there are a lot of synonyms I want to add. npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle https://mediacdn.aus.social/media_attachments/files/113/463/226/940/069/999/original/5326ee5852702692.jpg npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle The linked article contains the quote below, but should have saved it for the end as a terrific punchline. npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle If you're in NSW Australia and have views or concerns about drug policy, there is an upcomming drug summit. It is open for submissions at the link below. These things tend to prioritise community voices, with some effect, so if you want to be heard this is a good opportunity. npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle blinking only when 'live' (e.g when window containing cursor is selected). If a cursor blinks when it isn't the destination of keystrokes, it has better have a good excuse. npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle Skyline? Huh? npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle The majority of this presentation has aged disturbingly well. npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle Nah man, gotta read it from punch card, then play it from core memory. npub15t7tfkfhm2md6pjjk9e328kgayl9p0ka2nt2mk3j4p0rtey2ckxqlqsexs noodle And then there's this oft misattributed whopper from 2003:
