It's so crazy to me that ads pay less and subscriptions cost more.

DMs, chat, whatever. The point is that you can directly message a user in a way that other users can't see it.

I understand that Lemmy can be viewed as an answer to this question, but it's not for me. I'm looking for an actual forum, with a sense of community.

The community here is small enough that I've started recognizing names.

The whole decentralization aspect of the Feidverse seems great to prevent enshittification, or to prevent a billionaire from buying and tanking the place, but I don't really see it ever appealing to normal, non tech savvy people.

I don't understand what the gripe is. You're already here. The only nuisance is picking an instance. After that, you don't need to worry about it.

For me it depends on the program. For GitHub I prefer high contrast light mode. Also, I like that GitHub's high contrast modes aren't ugly.

On Mac you need a program to make your trackpad and scroll wheel scroll differently from each other.

Same in macOS. Stop hiding ".app"!

So close. By rows,

  1. I am bi so I get boy kisser and attracted to same gender. I own cat ears but not a shark plush or dolphin shorts. I recently got some scrunch butt shorts but that's not in the pic.
  2. I'm a bottom because my wife is a stone top. I love pink. I own fishnets. I like Paradox games (CK3). I do not shave my legs. My leg hair doesn't bother me.
  3. I do not own a crop top hoodie or a heart choker. I have some other collars and chokers but this feels pretty specific. I could debate about if I'm a big enough fan of Warhammer to call myself a fan but I think compared to the average person I'm a fan even if I dont know too much about it. I am a gamer.
  4. I have a gray skirt like this sort of, maybe I should count it. I am a professional software engineer. I have a cat. I do not have paws or that type of arm warmer glove thing.
  5. I'm not a weeb. I don't have any thigh high socks sadly. I'm 5' 9". I have no maid outfit. I don't drink monster.

I'm one leg shave or one monster energy away from Bingo!

Ethnostates are okay so long as you agree with their political views?

Christians when trans people: God doesn't make mistakes and you're being blasphemous by altering the way you dress.

Christians when poor eyesight: You should wear glasses. God wouldn't want you to suffer.

 

For me it isn't working. Single player works fine. If Crossplay is ON I can see other games on the world map, but time out when joining the lobby. When I disable Crossplay I see none at all. (Yes, this is the opposite of what you might guess based on other issues people have mentioned where disabling Crossplay fixed it.)

Update: I switched to Proton 9 from the Cachy version and it works!

 

On Windows I use the linked program. I tried using KDE's accessibility settings but the lowest time it can do it 100 ms, which I naturally do on occasion (mashing backspace quickly, for example). Is there any other solution?

Powering my GPU and rails (programming.dev)
submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) by JackbyDev to c/buildapc@lemmy.world
 

This will likely have some technical inaccuracies because I've never dealt with something this specific with PSUs. I have two slots for PCIe. I have a 3070 ti which has two 8 pin connectors. Each of this PSU's cords for the PCIe slots (minus that mysterious 600W one which I think is not for anything I'm doing due to the size) goes from the 12 pin on the PSU to two separate 8 pin connectors (well, 6 with the optional 2).

My gut feeling is to just plug a single cord from the PCIe slots I to the two slots on my GPU. But I'm wondering about what would happen if I plugged two cords into the PCIe slots separately and then put a single connector into the GPU from each. Would that be better/worse/the same/catastrophic?

I'm wondering if it has something to do with dividing the current among the different rails in the PSU or something? It has a little jumper to enable "overclocking" which does something like combining the rails, but I'd rather not fool with that. And it also might be totally unrelated to the other question. The jumper is, of course, just out of view of the pic, but it's also not really relevant.

Edit: I went with one and it's working fine.

 

I've seen some tools that do things like take snapshots periodically and ones that add snapshots to grub, but not this specifically. Does something exist?

This will probably be on EndeavourOS, not Arch directly, if it matters.

 

Sorry for the horrible picture. It's hard enough to see with my eyes, let alone get a pic.

 

Using one of those FTDI kenwood adapter programming cables. My gut feeling is no. It would be nice for things like sending/receiving SSTV images.

I am able to transmit if I use a double ended male 3.5 mm cable in the microphone hole of the radio and the headphones hole in my computer, but I have to hold down the PTT button. Also I have to turn the volume on my computer down a lot or else it is distorted. I suspect this has something to do with "line out" versus "headphones" voltage levels (I recall seeing some YouTube video discuss this).

 

My guessThe left sort of looks like the outside of the cable so I think that's ground.

 

Is there just a gallery of various antenna types/lengths and their radiation patterns anywhere? It seems like there are some programs to make them, but I can't seem to easily get them for Mac and I also don't need something super advanced. Just something showing various "standard" antenna types and their patterns for various wave lengths.

 

I'm still pretty new to radio stuff and still learning. I have my technician license and have made a handful of contacts. For Christmas I got the RTL-SDR. It has a warning saying "DO NOT use near strong transmitters. Max input: +10 dBm." I am having difficulty understanding exactly what that means and whether I can use my handheld radios near it. These are cheap ~5W radios.

I'm curious about the practical and theoretical both, here. So a simple yes-or-no would be helpful, but I'd also like to know the math.

  • Right now, I have a vertical half wave dipole (each leg is 48.8 cm, which I believe makes this a half wave dipole antenna for 146 MHz?) attached to my RTL-SDR. I've been trying to understand gain, but it seems tricky to find and understand the charts. This antenna came with the RTL-SDR, but it's telescoping and that's the length I have it at.
  • My radio is 5W and uses a knockoff NA-771 type antenna.

I don't have any other sort of tool to measure the output of my handheld radio. I am curious how close I can be to the RTL-SDR antenna when transmitting. I am also curious if I can transmit near the RTL-SDR when there is no antenna attached (I assume I can be a lot closer, but I still don't know how close).

Mostly, I don't want to break a new toy lol.

I'm not sure if this is a weird bug with the search or there's something weird in the database. It's also odd that they show different subscriber counts. Both link to !til@lemmy.world.

Edit: This is related to a known problem as Ategon mentioned. Disregard! :)

 

Update: Turns out I was too concerned. The manual actually says to use the top rack.

UPDATE: Stopping and reopening the app fixes this. It needs to actually stop though, you can't just switch apps and reopen. Either wait for it to close on its own or force stop. I did not try the main menu method as suggested, though. It may be easier.
