  • Feedback I've heard about Drip was that the interface was slightly wanting. Which is a shame. Sample of one, bear in mind!

  • One step closer to The Fifth Element every day.

  • Voyager changed the default instance to lemmy.zip

    Jump

  • At the moment, it's seen more like using a proxy or VPN. UK users connect to fuk outside of the UK, then the messages are relayed to zip. Fuk is UK focussed, so tries to work with the OSA. The best analogy is using a UK-focussed email service (wherever it's actually hosted) to email a non-UK address.

  • Ah yes, the 3 genders

  • Uniqlo knows that there are 4 genders:

  • Greetings from the Planetary Union!

  • That's a reassuring bit of info. If the in-universe explanation is that he isn't the best captain, I might give it another shot. As my initial reaction was "has McFarlane just made himself kirk?"

  • Greetings from the Planetary Union!

    Jump

  • I tried The Orville, but got a little put off by McFarlane as the captain. Does this improve as the series goes on? As I might give it another shot.

  • Oops

  • Or in a similar vein, the ship's cat has evolved into a suave humanoid with impeccable taste in fashion.

  • How screwed are you?

    Jump

  • Deathworlders universe

    Downright feudal at the end, though! Just gotta hope you're a rich/lucky landowner.

  • Good if you want to buy 4MB of stolen ram, however.

  • Personal spaceships commonly available?

    Lots of unusual, but generally friendly aliens?

    The Space Dandyverse wouldn't be too horrid.

  • Always strange how enthusiastic friends from the americas are about dogging, cottaging, and double-fisting.

  • Nvidia falls 14% in premarket trading as China's DeepSeek triggers global tech sell-off

    Jump

  • Helpfully, because bitcoin gets all the traderbro attention, monero has actually ended up being (relatively) stable because it has more of a purpose.

  • Or from the sounds of it, doing things more efficiently. Fewer cycles required, less hardware required.

    Maybe this was an inevitability, if you cut off access to the fast hardware, you create a natural advantage for more efficient systems.

  • Also a high probability they have a 3D printer and are super excited for something useful to do with it.

  • You'd probably get better coding advice in the comments.

  • It's also partly the patent holders for H.265.

    H.264 had a license fee, but it wasn't ridiculous. It was jacked up for 265, to the point that a lot of software houses no longer bundle the 265 decoder license.

    It annoys me too: Security cameras often use turnkey H.265 encoding packages rather than more open codecs, which makes dealing with the files using FOSS more of a pita.

  • Built an LCARS based doorbell!

    Jump

  • Have you integrated the doorbell with HA yet? Adding mine has been dead useful. Eventually I plan to add some logic so if the door isn't answered within a certain period, the lights in the house start flashing.

    Also, I think you're absolutely smack on with your plans for HA, that's how I use it. Get everything talking openly to one platform as a central point. Then link everything together using that platform.

  • Keep it simple

    Jump

  • So far, I'm only £150 down on cable and clips on my rennovation. And this is the decent stuff, AWG23, and double run.

    It'll probably go sideways when I spec up a switch with enough ports, mind...
