This is the closest one I could find because it has kids and mentions a black box. There were a ton though. https://youtu.be/dO7cvpVPv2A

The one that stuck out was a career day thing and one kid was bragging about his dad's "black box" that gets free cable! Wow! And the one of the other parents was a police officer! Oh no! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

If you just look up "cable theft commercial" in YouTube you'll find a lot. Some are more humorous. For example, this one encourages reporting people who steal cable. https://youtu.be/y3DmyJ9dYrk Specifically that, minor spoiler, are jerks!

You reminded me of the massive amount of "Dad gets free cable with his little black box" commercials as a kid.

What other than a link to the tweet do you think this could be asking for?

[โ€“] JackbyDev 4 points 7 hours ago

If it took you 10 seconds it could've taken OP 10 seconds to include it in the body.

I've seen some microwaves that say sensor but then ask how much popcorn you're putting in.

I see that, but Photos isn't there anymore. Same thing with my friend from the same time. Jerboa uses a different picker. I feel confident some apps use the same picker Discord does but I haven't been able to verify because I can't find one lol.

 

It only shows Drive (for each account), Bug Reports (?) and System Traces (?). Of course, I just restarted my phone to see if it fixed it. It did, but as soon as I try a second time it's gone again.

I mention Discord but I'm pretty sure this file picker screen is not directly associated with Discord.

Update: This is affecting a friend of mine as well in the same way from the same time. Haven't determined if it's just Discord yet.

I'm using goober specifically because it's not insulting. It's light hearted.

To be totally honest, a lot of communities aren't big enough yet to really necessitate splitting into niche communities yet. I don't know if gaming/Metroid is an example of one that does or doesn't meet that. It's just an observation.

This is a bad idea. They're different communities. Full stop. They have different moderators. They may have different rules. I'm not even convinced communities using the same URL slug on different instances would even imply they're the same topic.

It doesn't matter who made the decision when discussing people wanting to interact.

Sorry, this is a little embarrassing lol. But my notification bar with the clock and battery don't show in Jerboa any more. Is this some full screen option in the app I've accidentally turned on or something in Android itself I've enabled for this app?

Thanks!

 

I just never thought I'd hear GPL software get such a huge shout-out. It was literally the second thing said during the acceptance speech for Flow (best animated picture).

Also, Anora is a story involving sex workers and during two different acceptance speeches (best original screenplay and best picture) they thanks sex workers for sharing their stories with them.

Wasn't really sure where else to post this. I just thought it was pretty cool. There's always a bit of pandering in speeches (and it's not necessarily always bad), but libre software and sex workers were two things I wouldn't have guessed would get mentions. It was exciting!

 

There are times I'd like to get a measurement of a room's layout. I know there are some apps that do this, but a lot are just full of premium pay wall stuff.

I'm just trying to get the dimensions of my office (it is an odd shape) so I can okay around with potential furniture layouts.

 
:: Remove make dependencies after install? [y/N] y

If I didn't remove make dependencies, would yay/pacman be smart enough to know the thing I am installing does not actually depend on them? It's a very nice feature of package managers that they track dependencies and can do things like remove "dangling" dependencies and I don't want to mess that up with some random dependencies needed only for a build. But I also don't want to install something every time I need to build lol.

So does yay and/or pacman know that the things I am installing don't actually depend on the make dependencies?


Solution: Keeping the make dependencies after install will not fool pacman and/or yay into thinking the make dependencies are "real" dependencies of whatever you're building from AUR. They both correctly recognize them as orphans (unless of course something else actually depends on them). So feel free to not remove them during install without worrying about dependency graphs getting tarnished; you'll be able to easily remove them later if you'd like.

I am trying to make a 2024 version of my paladin. I can pick Oath of Devotion because it is free. I can pick the Xanathar's options and Oathebreaker because they are from 2014 content I own, but I cannot pick the 2014 version of things I own if they're in 2024 content I don't own. I can't use the Oath of the Ancients.

 

I'm interested in setting up something to act as a file server. Think of it as "the cloud" but local. I've never built (or bought) something specifically for this, so it's a big foreign to me.

I think really all I would want is something that can store a lot of TB of data easily. It doesn't need to be fast. It doesn't need to be able to stream media anywhere. It really only needs to be able to act as an SFTP server, maybe run sync thing (new to that), and maybe act as a NAS. My gut feeling is something like 10+ TB might be a good amount to start. Something that won't fill up quick and that I can put big things in (like a full system image of another computer) without concern.

What would be a good way to go about this? Building a computer like normal but getting very cheap stuff? Getting something pre built or used (like surplus office stuff)? I'm just not really sure where to begin.

 

When talking about inflation there are two main types. I usually call them treasury and CPI inflation, but I don't necessarily know if those are widely used terms. By treasury inflation I refer to the total supply of money, like the inverse of federal interest rates basically. By CPI inflation I mean the change of the consumer price index over time. Both are useful, but depending on the context one may be more useful than the other.

 

If I turn my controller on, it won't connect. But if it's on when I turn my computer on (or restart/wake from sleep), it connects just fine. I am using the "Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows". It's possible it's actually connected but not recognized by Steam or any games, but I am not sure how to troubleshoot that directly. The Arch wiki (linked) doesn't say anything about this specifically.

I am on CachyOS.

Any ideas? <3

Update: This somehow fixed itself. I don't think I even upgraded or anything since it was a problem.

The initial concept developed by the company involved using heat generated by Bitcoin mining rigs, according to Heata Co-founder and CTO Chris Jordan.

"We literally put a Bitcoin miner in a barrel of mineral oil and plumbed it up to a radiator," he told The Register.

Edit, because I think folks may be confused due to the quote I put in. They are not installing crypto miners into water heaters. That was just their original inspiration. Sorry for the confusion.

"We're not looking at serving real time workloads, we're not doing websites, databases, message queue servers," Jordan explained. "Our ideal job is; here's a chunk of data, go and process that for some hours. And here's the result," he said.

This could still prove useful for 3D rendering workloads, finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics, and others where there is a lot of CPU or GPU processing, he claimed.

 

My Keyboard has a chattering problem. On Windows I was able to run a program that would detect this and fix it. I believe I could use the built-in keyboard bounce accessibility feature to solve this, but the lowest setting it will allow me to use is 100 ms. When I type normally I will sometimes push a key that fast (e.g., hitting backspace a lot or in a video game). Is it possible to lower this settings to something like 10 ms? Maybe via the terminal?


Edit:

Potential workaround found. In ~/.config/kaccessrc manually change it to something like 10. Save and reboot. It didn't seem to take hold if I didn't reboot. Even typing this now I am seeing some problems, but I also hear the ding indicating it is working. Change BounceKeysRejectBeep to false to get rid of the ding. A comment on the bug mentioned 40 ms, so maybe that's a good sweetspot.
