  • Do you know of any good reference projects to calculate sunrise and sunset times from NTP?

    Jump

  • In order to calculate an accurate sunrise and sunset time, you need the following variables to be known.

    • The current day
    • The current time (if you want to know the time delta for when it rises and sets)
    • The current location

    Also, we need to consider that NTP sends the time in UTC, and the timezone offset calculation is done by the endpoint.

    Even if you know the timezone your in, it still doesn't provide the exact position you need to accurately determine when the sun will rise and set.

  • Or the dems can hold on and gain on both, especially with a TACO.

    Jump

  • The lesson here is despite what a service says, don't trust it and take the appropriate measures to cover your tracks.

    You can create an access the inbox through Tor at protonmailrmez3lotccipshtkleegetolb73fuirgj7r4o4vfu7ozyd.onion

    The important thing is to always access it through Tor.

  • Has Trick-or-Treating died in your area, and what is to blame?

    Jump

  • Fewer kids on the street, they've outgrown the trick-or-treating phase. And with how expensive it is to own a property now, I don't expect young couples to buy a house here anytime soon.

  • Diptyx is an open source, dual-screen eReader (crowdfunding)

    Jump

  • Probably don't want the burden of keeping the firmware up-to-date with the latest security fixes, and miminizes the risk of a security exploit if that door isn't opened.

  • Also I could see it being useful if you can "pin" some pages on one side, especially if you need to compare multiple documents on the fly.

  • Have you or someone close to you converted to Linux recently (with Windows 10's end of support)?

    Jump

  • I've always been interested in Linux, and for my home server it's been my OS for the last decade, but for the workstation I found myself dual-booting. With the advent of atomic distributions such as Fedora Kinoite, Universal Blue, Fedora CoreOS etc using the concept of OS images through OSTree / bootc, combined with containerization through flatpak and podman is a great step forward stability and reproducibility.

    My desktop has been switched to Aurora (Universal Blue) for more than a year and I couldn't be happier.

  • Sam Altman Says If Jobs Gets Wiped Out, Maybe They Weren’t Even “Real Work” to Start With

  • CEO isn't an actual job either, it's just the 21st century's titre de noblesse.

  • A hilarious case of nested hallucinations.

  • Have you ever used apple airtag thingy or Replicas?

    Jump

  • I'm in the Android ecosystem and I bought some compatible with the Google Find My network.

    I use them on my keys, inside my kids backpack (both in elementary school), one hidden inside my car, a spare that I put inside the bag I use that day when commuting (laptop bag, backpack, luggage) and another one attached to my dog's collar.

    The last one ended up being useful a couple of times, I couldn't find my dog in the house and he was sleeping under our bed, and another time he was sleeping on a white blanket the kids left bunched up on the floor and he was basically invisible on it (he's all white) 🤣

  • What technologies were ubiquitous ten years ago and are much less common now?

    Jump

  • Optical disks. It was almost a necessity on laptop to have an optical drive, now there's maybe one or two models out there that comes with one.

  • What do you still use reddit for?

    Jump

  • Some niche stuff that I can't find a sizeable community elsewhere, but that's about it.

  • Still, most people will look at the TV during the meeting, so all you see is one side of their faces.

  • We tried the owls in some of our meeting rooms and we scrapped those.

    What's the point of having a 360 camera in the center of the room when everyone will stare at the big TV anyway? All the people at the other end see is everyone looking sideway to the camera.

  • Why is DRM music a thing?

    Jump

  • It's mostly to avoid a lossless capture, recording it will lead to quality loss.

    Most people don't care, so they'll download whatever they can.

  • Removed

    Entry-Level NAS recommendations?

    Jump

  • You either have

    • Easy to use
    • Will eventually lose support
    • May remain unpatched

    or

    • Require more maintenance
    • You can run the OS of your choice
    • It's your responsibility to ensure it remains patched

    I decided I wanted something long-term, and bought a NAS appliance I can boot my own OS onto it, so I went with the Ugreen DXP2800.

    I'm running Ubuntu LTS, with Cockpit as the webUI to manage parts of it, and my web services are all running through podman containers (aka quadlets).

    There's a bit of a learning curve, which is the price I was willing to accept.
