Hey šŸ‘‹ Iā€™m Lemann: mark II

I like tech, bicycles, and nature.

lemann,

The only hardware worth purchasing is that which is supported by the developers directly

My thoughts exactly.

For a consistent and complete user experience that isnā€™t completely driven by ulterior motives, this is usually the best way to go IMO

lemann,

as a dev I absolutely love the free scrolling wheel, and the ability to quickly switch between multiple devices. to top it all off, the mx master has the most reliable and consistent surface tracking Iā€™ve ever come across on a mouse

lemann,

Aside from my linux macbook, the steam deck trackpad is one of the best trackpads Iā€™ve ever used. The ā€œtaptic engineā€ (donā€™t know the generic term) simulated clicks and feedback on the deckā€™s trackpad feel so much more refined compared to the standard tactile button used in the original steam controller. Being able to adjust the click pressure level too is a nice bonus.

I just wish the Deck trackpad was better at ignoring finer movements closer to the click threshold, like a standard trackpad - likely something that could be added with a future update I guess?

lemann,

Thatā€™s amazing, especially considering the challenging lighting conditions. Hope you enjoy it!

lemann,

Micromobility is pretty active if youā€™re interested in product coverage and news. As for more organic content, itā€™s pretty infrequent in any of the existing bicycle communities ā˜¹ļø

lemann,

Somewhat already exists, called Fediseer

There are a few other instances that subscribe to lemmy.worldā€™s censures list on there

lemann,

I picked up Grayjay so I can actually watch early access videos from creators I follow on Patreon. I honestly love how it seamlessly integrates multiple services around creators. Also supports Nebula, and IMO provides a nicer experience compared to the official app.

Personally I still use NewPipe (Tubular fork) for my daily viewing just because I kind of prefer that UI

lemann,

I just made both gestures an upvote lol

lemann,

IMO the meme is mocking those who think vehicles are only car-shaped objects, in light of cities imposing restrictions on personal motor vehicle use in built up areas

I doubt it has anything to do with emergency services being restricted to the vehicles shown lolā€¦

lemann,

After one Google search on my work laptop I was looking for searx instances - a lot of those were going down too due to rate limiting šŸ˜­

Google Searchā€™s ā€œudm=14ā€ trick lets you kill AI search for good | Ars Technica (arstechnica.com)

Tack ā€œ&udm=14ā€ on to the end of a normal search, and youā€™ll be booted into the clean 10 blue links interface. While Google might not let you set this as a default, if you have a way to automatically edit the Google search URL, you can create your own defaults.

lemann,

DDG has an experimental wikipedia ā€œAIā€ that pops up near wikipedia results, but theres a button you have to click manually to generate the summary AFAIK

lemann,

Good.

My VPS provider also migrated away from VMWare - got an email saying VMs would be down temporarily during the move, and the main website no longer contains any references to the virtualization tech. I miss my /64 IPV6 šŸ˜­ but iā€™ll happily give that up if it means Broadcomā€™s dumpster fire comes crashing down as big customers pull the plug and migrate

lemann,

Welcome!

Since youā€™re on the lemmy.world instance, thereā€™s a bunch of additional interfaces available to you:

If youā€™re on mobile, thereā€™s a ton of apps to choose from at join-lemmy.org/apps , or if PWAs are more your thing, your instance has the Voyager/Mlmym interface setup at m.lemmy.world

Finding communities used to be difficult, but it should be straightforward now just from the search, seeing as it is the largest instance.

Hope you enjoy your stay šŸ˜

lemann,

I used to use MQTT, static_status and Healthchecks.io, and have that data passed through to Home Assistant, but it started to get pretty cumbersome as the amount of machines I had grew.

I now use just Zabbix and HealthchecksIO. I did need to spend some time writing new templates for some additional data I wanted to collect (like SMART data for SSDs that provide health metrics in non-standard attributes, and HealthchecksIO so I could see the status of various checks on my zabbix dashboard)

Zabbix also has some additional features I found appealing, like proxies that can continue recording data when the main server is down, and built in encryption. Some checks like open ports/icmp responses etc can be checked using either the local agent, the remote server, or both, which helps quickly diagnose things like firewall config issues.

I did look at some other solutions, but I wanted something integrated to hit the ground running. Mobile apps are very limited, and there is no official one to my knowledge. I use Moobix which I donā€™t believe is FOSS - but I could be wrong there

Try each solution out and see what works best for you!

lemann,

Some searx instances are going to get hit hard today šŸ˜…

lemann,

There are also DLL mods that convert nvidiaā€™s DLSS API to AMD FSR, in which case games usually need to be fooled into thinking the GPU is made by nvidia and not AMD

lemann,

I use it on the deck - it works really well, however you can definitely see the artifacting when fast motion is occuring. There are also some odd bugs when using SMAA with FSR turned on, where the frame gen model gets confused and starts moving the game UI/HUD with the camera.

Apparently it works much better at framerates above 60FPS since the model has more data to predict future framesā€¦

If you have genuine DLSS available itā€™s probably better to stick to that IMO

lemann,

I was actually going to do that for my domain, sadly 100yr registration is very expensive with vanity ones

lemann,

I do something similar for my propertyā€™s exterior cameras, which are streamed to my VPS in ā€˜real-timeā€™.

You will need to re-encode the footage - videos are already pretty well compressed, so traditional compression methods like 7z (lzma), gz, zip etc being layered on top canā€™t compress them further.

For your solution, Iā€™d probably run a find every minute w/ cron to look for these files in a staging/watch folder, move them to another folder so they arenā€™t picked up on the next run, then re-encode with ffmpeg. Do note that when you re-encode footage, you always lose quality, even if youā€™re on a high quality preset.

I have a feeling that the Handbrake project can do this with a watch folder though, so might be worth looking into that. After a quick search this looks easier to setup than my solution:

github.com/HandBrake/HandBrake
github.com/shannah/handbrake-watcher

lemann,

The entire situation and Linusā€™s online persona changes over the years has left a seriously sour taste in my mouth tbh. In recent years Luke has had to rein Linus in on the WAN show on a much more frequent basis too.

And then that whole issue where LMG was knowingly releasing inaccurate videos, not adequately covering products, and the whole Billet Labs situation.

For LTT to regain my interest as an ex viewer, there need to be some serious visible changes made. Having the new dedicated CEO is good, but Linusā€™s attitude and its impact on the workplace culture & public perception is not great IMO. While heā€™s the main reason the channel was successful, itā€™s probably time he let the hosts take the wheel. Jake has lots of potential, as well as some of the other usual faces on Short Circuit.

If I feel a desire for tech entertainment nowadays I just watch j2c or one of the many other smaller channels out there, then GN for general news and analysis

lemann,

Are you using YouTube music purely for new suggestions?

If not, and you have your own curated playlists, you could consider NewPipe (or the fork called Tubular) as it allows you to play these in the background, and even add songs from SoundCloud and Bandcamp into the same playlist.

What device do you have? These apps could just be crashing because YouTube detected it temporarily blocked access; happens all the time with yt-dlp, Piped, and NewPipe

lemann,

Iā€™m looking into printing with ASA eventually - have you tried skirts on an ASA print? (Not sure what other slicers call it - itā€™s a wall that is printed around the print to shield drafts)

I donā€™t have an enclosure on my delta so was considering that as an alternative.

lemann,

The hospitals in my nearby city have their own BRT which is open to public use, and joined to the cityā€™s ticketing system. It shuttles between them and various key locations, and is of course wholly subsidized for the intended users.

Despite being the only BRT here it pretty much goes everywhere it should, skipping the usual traffic, and as a result gets a lot of use.

If the users were limited to the regular transportation I think they would just all drive - while there are a lot of routes here theyā€™re not entirely pleasant to use IMO and almost always get stuck in traffic
