YouTube's creator AI assistance leaking across universes? (If you haven't seen it, LGR did a video about the AI reply-to-comments stuff that YT is pushing - https://youtu.be/26QHXElgrl8 )

There's also PlantUML (lots of ads on the page, unfortunately) with support for all sorts of diagram types, and it's extensible. Swimlane, UML, sequence and about 20 more.

While looking into a replacement for auto increment primary keys, I also encountered TSIDs / Snowflakes. At least with TSIDs you can store them easily as 64 bit integers; ULIDs were not as compact. Haven't made a decision yet thou

Thank you for the correction. Either I never knew that, or I had indeed crossed the wires about how they work.

That's what people do with tools like Kryoflux; the head of a floppy drive doesn't touch the disk, it floats above it and picks up the magnetic flux. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxsRpMdmlGo covers a lot of it.

The ones in Ireland are basic cardboard. You can tell from the way the grease soaks through and the cardboard goes all limp. The constraint for recycling them here is that the items up for recycling must be "clean and dry", and a

Your assertion may be region specific. The organic compost I get in Ireland is based on worm castings, and has never had "painted wood, chunks of metal, etc" in it.

Link needs a (2021) I think. Repository says 3 years ago. However, they'd probably still be interested as a pattern of evidence thing.

"Fiber optic amplifier undersea" should do the trick. It's not that the power supply wrapped around/alongside the fiber does anything directly; it's being delivered to amplifiers. There's a hackaday article tha

You can make the greyscale toggle on triple power/home button, or via control centre. Thus, you can have it on most of the time, toggle it to look at a map, then toggle it back.

You know, he has a video on that too. If you want GPIO, a tiny PC is not the answer (for example).

You can look at Marine Traffic to get a better sense of now versus the composites in the article.

Depends on the MUD type. I used to play, admin, and sysadmin on AVATAR MUD, and the sheer text scroll of a large group in combat just wouldn't translate to WhatsApp. A lot of the players used TinyFugue with complexish state management

It absolutely runs on OpenWrt - simple as opkg install, then setting it up and sorting DNS redirection as needed.

Are there any good alternatives these days for occasional remote management of a Win10 machine from a Linux desktop? I do occasional support for a club, and it's helpful to not have to go there. Used to use logMeIn. Then TeamViewer (bu

People who litter butts are just as comfortable littering disposables if the streets near me are anything to go by. Also, things like lithium are kinda rare - just chucking them on the ground is terrible for the environment overall, better

Huh. I just migrated off of the Flatpak to the .tar.bz2 version because I ran into the fact that the Flatpak version has no functioning mDNS resolution. The impact of that is all the stuff that expects .local to work.. doesn't. Can pin

If you can isolate the legs of the larger appliances, a CT clamp sensor is sufficient for an idea, and you can get those as handheld meters with screen - or something you plug into a microcontroller board and send the data to a local collec

Tim Hunkin did a video on PLCs and the like, and talks about precisely that, as memory serves. His videos are also a treasure.

This looks remarkably similar to the one Tech Tangents (twitch/youtube) has hooked up to GPIB with Python tooling for automating cap reforming. Pretty sure he has VGA type capture working too, so he can hook it in to OBS for his stream

They've stopped making Kindles with modems. Latest gen ones are WiFi only. Of course, the hardware might still be in there, just not available for book purchasing.

I'm going to guess at that country being Germany. There's an edge case where if you have the "state" insurance, then leave the country, have private health care abroad, and then move back, the health insurance situation
