I haven't tried the official OS but with Alpine I had to enable a DT overlay (IIRC vc4-fkms-v3d) and install the relevant mesa driver (probably mesa-dri-vc4) to get X performance to a level where it's not absolute misery. Some ot

Or misconfigured? Graphics drivers and configuration would be the first suspect.

I guess I have similar feelings but it's not so much about whether the public can access it. It's about the fact that I'm not so comfortable with surveillance in general. I would also feel uncomfortable if they had street co

--root=dir Set the root directory to directory, which sets the installation directory to «dir» and the administrative directory to «dir/usr/local/var/lib/dpkg».

I sort of understand that point of view, but I still think that killing should be absolutely last resort in a civilized society, and that society should find other ways to deter crime and/or protect and help the victims. In a broken (

Oh I know what the gun nuts in the US say. I don't believe their view is universally shared. I agree that there is no way to reliably perform a "non-lethal" shot which gets us back to my previous message: you'd better n

Most in America? Shrug, maybe. In many other parts of the world, someone having a weapon out is not sufficient evidence to show that they were going to murder you in 2 seconds unless you did it first. Even if they seemed angry and threate

You'd be surprised. No, there are many places where you want to think twice about responding to violence with violence, because if your violent response is deemed exaggerated, you end up being the one worse off on day of judgement. Tec

Exactly. If neighbor doesn't want their light "stolen", then they can use a curtain and stop throwing the light onto the street. If they don't want rats to "steal" their peanuts, they can grab them from the b

> if they aren't maxing out their bandwidth, then it makes similarly no difference that you use it That is a big assumption right there. The neighborhood streaming 4k cat videos from youtube could make a massive dent, and I can eas

Interesting about the box white. I haven't heard many people praise them. They sound fun but then people move on. I thought I liked them when I first got them but after two years of daily use, I gotta say they're not for me. I&

"This house has never been built this way before." That implies someone's already designed how it's going to be built? What I often see in software that you're expected to give estimates on the spot before there&#x

It doesn't even stop at the ISP, unless you intend to span the globe with your own cables. Otherwise you're buying transit from private corporations and subject to their whims. It's pretty much build your own internet if yo

And they should just give us that estimate quickly before they even figure out how they're going to carry out the research.

YMMV, I've been checking out discord and I don't really like threads much. It feels like the discussion is stashed away semi-hidden in a corner which sort of discourages casual / intermittent participation and you easily mis

libera.chat is quite lively. IRCnet, efnet, quakenet, etc. are still there but maybe not as active as in the past.

I'd like instructions for growing quartz crystals at home.

by foxfluff 5y ago
Ok I need to know.. how does one accidentally grow half-a-meter crystal? And how much does that weigh? And what kind of plastic tumblers do you have for that? :D

Same goes for e.g. car repair stuff and even some solutions people post to weird software issues. There are lots and lots of very niche videos posted by normal people who aren't professional "youtubers" and really just want t

Motivation is a big one for me. Some tasks (or projects) just don't motivate me at all, and they turn into a dreadful slog. Others are captivating and I have a hard time logging out at the end of the day. I think there's easily

As an embedded sw dev working on things that interface with legacy devices, I have written lots and lots of binary parsers (as well as serial, net, and ipc protocols). I've also reversed some binary formats used by games, etc. I like

I have and it drives me mad. Yet another "feature" that I need to figure out how to disable or it keeps biting me. I wish computers would stop trying to second guess my intentions and just do as I say and not more.

It used to be simple.. if it has a motor and pedals, it's a moped. But yeah, whatever you call it doesn't solve the regulation problem.

Well I can do 100-200 km rides with no electronic assist but I am quite tired and hungry as all hell after that. And it takes time (I don't think I've averaged over 30 kph on a long trip so yeah that's 3-6 hours of cycling p

So you want IETF to start charging for internet standards? Do you think they use too much ML? Can you show me which one of their standards suffers from this problem? (My experience is that IETF puts out vastly better stuff than whatever g

> About potential life saving equipment, and it's behind a paywall. Seems wrong Wait till you hear about all the EN standards.. everything from electrical safety to fire alarms, etc. All paywalled.

by foxfluff 5y ago
Whose food are you talking about? The people who write standards are usually paid by their employers (I've seen a few volunteers / enthusiasts too). They have food on the table, and the companies benefit from funding that work

I mean the definition is public. "The metre is currently defined as the length of the path travelled by light in a vacuum in 1/299 792 458 of a second." You don't go through a paywall to find the definition. Of course
