realbadat,

Just to add - this “hat” would also likely improve reception.

realbadat,

That is not what the article says.

realbadat,

Get rid of the plastic, attach it to one of your own gloves.

Way better experience. Also really good for home grown vr in the early 90’s (combined with some LCDs nabbed off camcamcorders and a VGA to s-video (or composite) converter).

i’d love to see a new powerglove. Though I think at this point an esp32 and some sensors could do all the same tricks… Hmmmm…

realbadat,

Or XLR in the pro world

realbadat,

Looks like a bi flag to me.

realbadat,

Oof, seriously. And /e/os is an odd recommendation over graphene.

realbadat,

… Which is the device they specifically mention regarding /e/os in the article.

realbadat,

He recently got laughed at again over Deadpool of all things.

realbadat,

Not really. It’s gone from the alphabet handbook, not Google’s.

Which was a hilarious bit for me recently with a guy saying “I HAVE THE HANDBOK FOR GOOGLE” and getting all upset despite my repeatedly pointing out that it was removed for alphabet, which is a different company.

It also got moved around in the Google handbook a bit. Still exists though.

realbadat,

If they did it the other way around, and you’re a clown from outer space, that would be fun.

realbadat,

I’ve used resolve for quite a few things in the past. It’s an excellent editor, way more than most people will need/use in the free version, and exceeds most corporate editing requirements in the paid version.

Blackmagic Design bought it to have a video editing suite they could tie to their hardware, which I would call similar in design approach. It’s inexpensive for what it does, works really well, but isn’t the top of the line for broadcast.

Most corporate broadcast (think like a bank or something having its own small recording studio, rather than the major broadcasting companies) will leverage BMD at some point in their workflow.

realbadat,

They still sell laptops, desktops, and servers with Ubuntu pre installed.

realbadat,

BMD bought Resolve maybe 15 years ago now, but the support is not limited to BMD hardware. It was more of a way for them to ensure BMD hardware support in a video editor at the time. Personally I have their web presenter and an older model of their TV studio kit at home (long story), but I also have a variety of other hardware, all of which works just fine with Resolve.

I’m using Resolve on the regular for my VHS conversions, though some tasks would be easier with the premium instead of the free version, I just fill in with ffmpeg or other tools and move on.

Just FYI, the download will ask for an email/name/etc, but the download starts right away, so you don’t need to actually give any PII out to get it.

realbadat,

If it works for you, I’ve found running some things as a VM works better than dealing with windows.

Admittedly I have a lot of hardware due to what I do, but I’ve got (multiple, but just one is relevant in this case) proxmox server set up with an extremely tightened up windows 10 build. I’ve removed pretty much everything humanly possible on the windows side, just installing enough for the applications I need.

I then have a GPU that’s passed through to it directly (that machine is headless otherwise). So I’m getting all the GPU acceleration, but without using anything else on Windows, it stays slim and trim so it runs pretty well, and it’s pretty light on ram use.

With the second DP input of my monitor, I come off a video switcher but you can skip that and go right off the GPU. Now you’ve got a lightweight little VM directly connected to your display. Pass through your USB device of choice (I’m assuming a controller here, but you can use a second keyboard/mouse or USB host switch if you want).

Personally I find this approach easier since I don’t have to deal with all the memory gobbling nonsense on the windows side, I get to do my daily work in Linux, and specialty stuff that I just can’t run in wine stays readily available.

realbadat,

Fair enough. Most of my work means building out LXC’s and VMs for testing, and with 2 kids I don’t have much time/energy left for gaming, so my setup works for me.

But it’s definitely not for everyone, I already have the pieces in place to make it work nicely. I actually had a windows workstation set up for work, but couldn’t deal with the windows nonsense anymore, which is why I went this route.

It can work on a single machine with an iGPU, but kb/m gets a bit complex. And then there’s streaming over no machine or something, but that has its own drawbacks unfortunately.

Whatever works for you, works for you and that’s what matters

realbadat,

That is not a KDE issue.

realbadat,

Amazing, and nothing short of it. And completely nuts too.

realbadat,

They don’t sell them online, but they do still sell them in stores. They only stopped selling some guns and some types of ammo.

Misusing Memorable Quotes Pt. 8 - The Leftovers (Compilation Post) (lemmy.world)

So I decided to do a week of these posts and then see how it was going. It seems to have gone well enough, but it’s probably time for me to take a break from this format specifically for a while. In true Star Trek spirit though I want to get some use out of the misfit ideas so here’s the memes I didn’t pick each morning...

realbadat,

As I see it…

DC Comics is better at large scale world building, Marvel better at the single character story.

Marvel movies have been better for large scale world building, and DC just hasnt been great with their movies. And marvel has been going downhill.

Still enjoy them all though!

realbadat,

I’m curious what you’re running into with Debian that would make you say it’s not reliable…

I have Debian installs that have been continuously running for years (sans long power outages and such).

realbadat,

What’s the hardware youve got going on?

I’ve been running Debian for… Longer than I care to think about, and other distributions before that. And Debian is still the top in stability, what it doesn’t do well - and I feel like may be what’s happening here - is running the latest and greatest. Or even running the fairly recent. Or even the somewhat recent…

Anyway, what I use Debian for is a (very) stable desktop and most of my servers. For anything more cutting (not even bleeding) edge, a different distribution may serve you better. If I had to guess, Nvidia GPU? If so, I’m fairly certain Mint has recently updated to support the latest and it was working well for some folks. I have all AMD GPUs (except for a box running windows + Nvidia for some work stuff).

In any case, good luck!

realbadat,

Similar, but the reverse for me (except a machine for work with dual adas). Though I had a spattering of AMD during that time, those always worked for me. Still have a 270x doing it’s duty!

Random thought, have you tried LMDE? It’s the Debian edition of Mint, I thought it was cleaner (though to be fair, I didn’t use it much, it was an install for someone else).

realbadat,

Or a mini.

I have an M2 mini I use for iOS builds, cheap enough for me to buy and stick in the rack to use for remote builds. I got that a year ago for $600ish iirc.

realbadat,

Yep… It’s permanently where it’s at at purchase.

Which is fine, I don’t store anything on there (Jenkins automations to build, local git repo on another machine, output goes to NAS), but it’s ridiculous how much the upgrades cost.

If I didn’t need a build target for iOS I wouldn’t have bothered with it, that’s for sure.

realbadat,

Just run windows in a VM for when you absolutely need it. It’s how I can do my job but not be constantly barraged with ads in a start menu.

realbadat,

SCP or a share on a NAS, personally.

realbadat,

What does that have to do with the question I replied to?

realbadat,

A few reasons:

  • Any conversion (including internally at the display) can result in colorspace mismatches.
  • If the sink has an unsupported mode, the source will send a default - which is usually a mismatch.

I wouldn’t call it often wrong, personally. I’d say some devices are really bad with EDIDs, and are consistently problematic. It’s more like -recent hardware is generally pretty good, but relying entirely on EDID won’t always work, so use with care.

Some great examples of problematic devices/situations (in general):

  • Apple. Pretty much anything they make.
  • DP to HDMI - while DP supports HDMI natively, that can be one of the situations where EDID issues crop up. But much less often than…
  • DVI to HDMI or vice versa - this is probably the most problematic of general use. Happens somewhat often where a different or default colorspace gets used.

If you’ve got a single PC going to a display (or several), just set it once manually and you’re good to go. If you’re plugging and unplugging often with multiple devices (like with a dock), an EDID minder can be handy, but come with a price that generally makes setting it manually preferred anyway.

Hope this helps answer for you

realbadat,

I’m glad my wife doesn’t mind the 5 bay. Or the 8 bay I added to become the new main NAS and the other a backup.

… Or the 4RU case stacked with drives.

I don't know anything about Linux and the idea of installing it frightens me. Where do I start?

I bought a laptop yesterday, it came pre-installed with Windows 11. I hate win 11 so I switched it down to Windows 10, but then started considering using Linux for total control over the laptop, but here’s the thing: I keep seeing memes about how complicated or fucky wucky Linux is to install and run. I love the idea of open...

realbadat,

It is a thing, it’s not a chore though. Usually it’s a talk about a cool project someone is involved with, sometimes guests from a major project give a talk.

And then snacks and chat after

realbadat,

You can take a look at the meshtastic project - https//www.meshtastic.org - people have made some pretty wild solutions, it’s pretty cheap to build too.

realbadat,

I’ve got an order pending while I decide which setup I want to play with first - but I have a feeling I’m just going to go with one portable and one to leave in the office, and go from there.

Regardless of it’s potential use for protests, it’s a fun project!

realbadat,

Lots of people interact with trans folks on a daily basis and have no idea. I’d bet she encountered someone trans at some point in her life and had no idea.

But your point 100% stands and I agree with it

realbadat,

Since the start. Forget working with them, it’s a rough go to even try and communicate with them.

And that goes back to mailing list days, creating a personal grudge against Gnome so firm that I haven’t used it since the early 2000s.

Thankfully there’s KDE for my general use and a wide variety of lightweight options for other uses.

realbadat,

Reminds me of Papa John in dungeons and daddies

realbadat,

It’s… Different.

Second season just wrapped, which is where Papa John makes his appearance.

realbadat,

Knowing corporate gyms… Probably.

realbadat,

I have their pans that claim that.

Don’t trust them.

realbadat,

A focused mic and quiet room beats all the noise suppression algorithms you can apply.

Looking for self hosted digital asset management

I’m looking to be able to store assets that I’ve created and purchased (both 3d models and images, potentially audio in the future) on my nas and would love to be able to use something to browse them and filter or sort them based on what kind of usage license I have for them. So if I’m doing a commission I can filter out...

realbadat,

ResourceSpace maybe?

realbadat,

You realize the two in there alongside are… Removing damaged cartilage/bone and cleaning. These are not the only two knee surgeries that exist, by any stretch.

Please don’t spread medical misinformation, it’s not helpful.

realbadat,

If I was talking about every single kind of knee surgery, I would have said so.

…

The best knee-surgery meme is knee-surgery itself.

i.e. knee-surgery is fun, but it is not usefull.

Cool story bro. Bye.

realbadat,
