I heard they’re going to delay new groceries until the ban on old groceries comes into effect.

Lightspeed in Victoria. They use shaw for cable, and telus for fibre now.

Glad to have switched to a third party provider, even if they’re using Telus lines for fibre.

Took me 2 hours to cancel my out of contract services, and 15 minutes to sign up with the new provider. 🫠

See if they can handle a ntsc filter, thats where most of the magic is. beautiful analog noise!

I just returned the 1440p version of this monitor (m27t6) and if you’re on linux you might have to force vrr via edid tweaks. Slightly annoying if you’re on wayland.

With the tweak or natively enabled in windows it would have vertical scanlines at lower framerates which I don’t think I’ve seen before.

Hopefully the 4k version is better because it was surprisingly nice otherwise.

some games prompt you for bug reporting data collection, this is usually connected to sentry.

You can block their domain on a dns level (i think *.sentry.io would work?), or if the developer has their dsn (the url used for reporting metrics) exposed in a config file, you can probably blank it out without too much trouble.

always close your toilet lid before npm installing!

iirc Apple music’s web ui also has sourcemaps, but I’m not subbed to apple music anymore to check. Its neat, but not really a huge blunder, nor takedown worthy.

I believe the inky impression might have tutorials available, but heres their sample code https://github.com/pimoroni/inky/blob/main/examples/spectra6/image.py

…i now realize I don’t have my code up anywhere though, but its basically that on a cron job to cycle through a directory of images.

You grab a pi zero 2w, or maybe anything with the standard pi gpio connectors slap that on the back of the display and you should be good to go.

It’s incredibly awkward to mount on a picture frame, and the weight of the pi does cause it to sag to one side, so might be better as a table frame than a wall mount.

These are pretty easy to DIY with something like the inky impression 13 (a spectra 6 display), a pi zero 2w and a tiny bit of python.

Haven’t figured out a good coorless option but its a fun weekend project.

Worth moving the usb cable or wireless dongle to a different usb port. I found my DAC needed an entire usb controllers worth of bandwidth.

After that it showed up without issue.

Bought myself a little digital audio player (basically the new name for mp3 players) and have been enjoying porting rockbox to it / listening to my local library.

There’s a still a few cd/record stores in town which is pretty awesome for second hand stuff.

I’ve got the retroid flip 2, and really enjoying tinkering with it more than I expected! (need to plug my wip postmarket os port: https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/oopsallnaps/pmaports/-/commits/rpflip2)

I must say though it feels so…cheap to hold. I don’t know what it is about the plastic body 😅)

Otherwise really enjoying a separate sdcard with rocknix loaded and balatro ported.

I’m surprised there’s no source code available. You think that would be a no brainer move after the original servers shut down. 😅

I use https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy which makes it pretty painless to self host on a vpc with Synapse as the server.

I don’t have federation setup, since I just use it with friends. So besides running the update command once a week, I don’t even think about maintaince.

I’m not at a computer atm, but I believe you can use kscreen-doctor to do that. It exposes pretty much all of kdes display settings.

And thats honestly why I enjoy Linux a lot more. The mistakes are my mistake…except for pageflip timed out.

I am ready to slurp up all of these heirs. Keep em coming!

I’m not sure if I would consider today’s Unity being an upgrade from UE2. 🤔

But considering how 90% of the game is in UnrealScript, they should probably just write an interpreter in Unity so that existing mods have a better chance at working.

Ah I remember trying to play this on a below min requirements gpu when it came out. Besides low performance, the sky was super messed up.

Can’t wait to dive in with an utterly overpowered pc in July.
