It's always interesting to stumble upon a bubble you never heard of.
This is super interesting. I will probably (hopefully?) never need to use it, but interesting nonetheless. It also makes sense to have this type of application airgapped. Journalists need to have near-perfect OPSEC depending on what they are working on.
I moved away from tinkering, ever since I had to juggle family, job, chores, and social contacts.
I don't want to spend the little free time I have fixing broken configs. Instead of rolling my own self-build NAS / home server like I used to, I just have a Synology now. I moved back to Windows after I fcked my graphics driver on linux and didn't have enough time to fix it in a day or two.
Still, I love the tinkering spirit, and it still is a part of me, but it's not very pragmatic to implement in my life nowadays.
I tried an ergonomic keyboard with just 3x10 keys (or rather since it was a split keybaord, 2x3x5). I found that I am unwilling to spend the time to learn how to use it, type special characters, numbers, etc. Especially since most of my training time would need to take place during work, where I didn't want to take that huge initial efficiency hit. In the end, I chose a ZSA Moonlander and I'm super happy with it, even though it might have too many keys for enthusiasts ;)
That being said, I do have a soft spot for handheld hacker keyboards like this. It reminds me of the cyber future we all dreamed of when we were younger, when tech was still cool and exciting. Very cool project!
This whole article is a single big "but what about X?" argument.
The main concern stays, even if it's just a tiny bit of your genome, even if web-fingerprinting is also bad, the sequenced genome data is enough to identify and relate you to others. (Didn't they catch a serial killer that way?)
Even without the whole bankruptcy spin, I haven't had my DNA sequenced out of privacy concerns, with being US(-jurisdiction)-based as a big factor against most of the big competitors.
I came across and am fond of "give a click". Came across it watching youtube tutorials, used along the lines of "to open the context menu, give a click on the menu item"
Things have moved on since then, as artificial intelligence has started being used in formalisation, [...]
With how AI works fundamentally, wouldn't you still need to verify the results generated by AI? Doesn't seem like an applicable field for it, at least in its current state.
Chess960/Freestyle Chess is where it's at for me. There, the game feels fresh, it's about creativity and clever positional play. Sometimes when playing classical, it feels like a contest of who can memorize better, without room for creativity or passion.
I'm not a particularly good classical player, but the mountain of grinding to get good just seems insurmountable to me.
Slightly related: I'm currently reading manga on a normal Android tablet using Mihon. I'd love to read on an eInk display, but I'd rather manage my library on device instead of having to use a pc and transferring chapters manually.
Does anyone have experience with Anrdoid capable eInk tablets? Are there any good, affordable ones?
The one thing that bothers me about Lidarr is that it is album based, not song based. Before streaming services, I managed my local music library with albums as well, but my habits have changed. I basically only listen to my "Liked Songs" playlist on Spotify, and really only have a select few albums that I listen to on the whole.
I tried syncing Lidarr with my Spotify account, but 95% of the downloads then where songs that I didn't care for.
All those different subgenres are quite daunting as a newcomer. I've listened to songs labelled as “Psytrance” by Spotify, though I couldn't pinpoint the subgenre after listening to the examples provided by the guide.
For example, what would the song “Shiva Style, Pt. 2” by Mandragora classify as (if it counts as Psytrance)?
As a parent working a full time job - I can finally play games again. As weird as it sounds, there was always a pychological hurdle to go and sit at my desk, boot my pc, select a game and play it.
With the deck, I just sit on the couch and play games - the sleep/standby function is amazing.
I wanted to give OsmAnd a try, to replace my dependency on Google services.
I could not for the life of me find a setting to correclty transliterate Japanese names to my native language.
I only found three states:
1) Display original Japanese characters
2) Transliterate. Here the problem was, that oftentimes, it used the chinese pronounciation of the characters instead of Japanese.
3) use translated names, where a lot are missing, and then it falls back to the original characters.
openstreetmap.de (my local variant) correctly transliterates even the smallest region names in Japan.
In the end, I used Google Maps to navigate during my vacation, and everything just worked.
This is super interesting. I will probably (hopefully?) never need to use it, but interesting nonetheless. It also makes sense to have this type of application airgapped. Journalists need to have near-perfect OPSEC depending on what they are working on.
