Eskating cyclist, gamer and enjoyer of anime. Probably an artist. Also I code sometimes, pretty much just to mod titanfall 2 tho.

Introverted, yet I enjoy discussion to a fault.

  • If someone ate a full box of high iron cereal before an mri would they get injured?

    Jump

  • I don't think so.

    The size of something does affect how much magentic force it can exert.

    I know someone who accidentally underwent MRI with their phone still in their pocket. It didn't go flying across the room or anything, despite containing permanent magnets.

    The phone was VERY dead after, but no injury occurred.

    It does depend on the machine, I think. More sensitive and powerful MRI machines can have orders of magnitude more powerful fields.

  • The tripled rate is specifically for 10-14.

  • AWS suffered ‘at least two outages’ caused by AI tools, and now I’m convinced we’re living inside a ‘Silicon Valley’ episode

    Jump

  • Except in the show, AI actually solved problems, instead of causing them.

  • Some instances have matrix spaces.

    I'm in the one for mine.

  • Among 10-14 year-olds?

    At that age, your biggest problem should be losing a video game save file, or at worst losing your first pet. All while still surrounded by loving and supportive adults.

    What the hell are we doing?

  • Am i doing something wrong here with duplicati?

  • Kopia is my recommendation. I'd be happy to help get it working.

    The featureset and performance in comparison to Borg/Restic make it the best choice for a lot of cases.

    Borg is excellent, but it does require management access at both ends, and is more complex to use.

    Kopia is quite simple, once you have it set up. Including its restore options.

  • Stoat self-hosting: Instance invites?

    Jump

  • Self hosting Stoat is a nightmare at the moment.

    Only the webUI works out of the box, if you want the phone app you need to compile it yourself.

    At least the desktop app now supports connecting to custom instances, but it's by launch option, not the GUI.

    All that said, my understanding was that you give the code to your friends, and they have to enter it during signup.

    Enabling invite-only doesn't remove the signup functionality, it adds authentification, so only people with the invite code can pass.

  • You NEED To Selfhost

    Jump

  • Oh, what's the speedtest server?

    I've not run into that yet myself, but I'd love to have one of those.

  • I'm starting to work on a helpful resource that will give my friends a place to start when it comes the Fediverse. Filling out little tools and things I and others create along with useful links like

    The plural of software is software. Not softwares.

  • Leaving spotify, offline music options?

    Jump

  • Symfonium is not open source. It is a paid app by a helpful and responsive sole dev.

    If you want FOSS, that's Finamp. But it is not as good. It does also implement offline play features.

    The Symfonium dev has responded to and implemented two requests of mine, making me quite happy to pay for and mention their app.

  • Leaving spotify, offline music options?

    Jump

  • My combo is Jellyfin+Symfonium

    With Symfonium you can manually download playlists and favorites for offline, and/or have a "rolling cache" where the most frequent listens are automatically kept synced for offline listening.

    My collection is far too large to keep on my phone in its entirety, but with Symfonium I don't need to, and if I'm ever caught without internet, I've still plenty to listen to.

    Jellyfin does not organize the music, it's a way to browse and access it. For a nice client for desktop, look at Feishin.

    To actually organize the music, you want something like Picard.

  • If you don't know about soulseek, hit up !soulseek@lemmy.dbzer0.com

    It's been by far the most effective way to actually find files.

  • Can anyone recommend any good science communicators for a 12 year old girl?

    Jump

  • Lots of good channel suggestions.

    But I would also nominate COSMOS.

    Both the original hosted by Carl Sagan, and the new series with Neil deGrasse Tyson.

    For me, they brought the epicness of reality, scientific history, and the vastness of the universe, into focus in a way nothing else did.

    They made me feel a hopeful and powerful "humanity is fucking AWESOME, and can do INCREDIBLE things". It's not just informative. It lights a fire in you for the way humanity fights its way through the dark, using the scientific method as our guide.

  • What's a piece of Media that is so underrated you must mention it?

    Jump

  • God yes. I miss it dearly.

    Deadlock is scratching the itch for me.

    Also Battleborn Reborn has made the campaign, and bot matches possible again.

    Work has gone into making online matches work, and there are some videos of test games on youtube.

    Work has stalled for now, as the main dev is busy with other stuff.
