    Anyone who found this interesting should check out Nick Harkawway's novel Gnomon. It's set in a near-future society with a similar kind of omnipresent and ambivalent AI/surveillance system, combined with some fantasy elements.

    "The day God intervened" is crazy. I'm not religious, and clearly neither is Trump. Straight up blasphemy...

    Desktop Grid Quirks

    I have my Mac desktop configured to snap icons to a grid. However, for a while I've noticed that moving an icon causes them to snap to the upper-right corner of the screen, ignoring where I actually want them and overlapping existing icons. The only way around this seems to be going into Display Settings, changing any parameter such as Grid Size, and then moving the icons again. Has anyone else been experiencing this?

    The Perfect home server multi machine setup?
  • vhstape vhstape 1mo ago 100%

    If I understand your question, you can just assign some of your server endpoints a public IP/URL and keep some others behind the firewall. My home lab exposes some services to the open internet, while others are only accessible with a VPN.

    It's about time. I hop between iOS and Android every so often, and the lack of RCS has always been a major pain in the ass. Goodbye shitty compressed photos and hello read receipts. Unless your Android vendor doesn't fully support RCS... Looking at you, Samsung

  • It's official, I hate dogs
  • vhstape vhstape 2mo ago 100%

    I've been allergic to pet dander my whole life, and I will usually break out in hives just from being in the same room as someone who owns a dog. Yet, I'm still expected to pretend that I love their precious furry angel. Lately, I just let people know that couldn't be further from the truth. That said, I absolutely adore cats. But I'm just as allergic and would never own one.

  • I'm trying to find a YouTube video of a stand-up routine that I loved, but I can't remember the name of the performer! Here's what I do remember. She had long brown hair and a voice that reminded me of Mickey Mouse. I believe the video was taken from one of those late-night shows. Her routine was about getting older and not wanting to date casually anymore. It was pretty raunchy too. Two punchlines I remember had to do with drinking c-m and claiming her biggest weakness or red flag was that her p-ssy is too tight. Thanks in advance!

  • I am interested in dual-booting a Linux distro (probably Ubuntu) on my 2019 MacBook Pro. Ideally, I would have a shared data partition so that I could access my documents from both OSes. Does anyone have suggestions on the best way to accomplish this? UPDATE: created macOS, Ubuntu, and data partitions. Was able to mount and access data partition from both systems without any issues. As a bonus, Ubuntu let me replace the standard documents, photos, videos, etc. folders with symlinks to the data partition.

    My partner and I bought a low-end 3D scanner on Amazon to create this visualizer for a song I wrote! The scanner aided in created a 3D mesh and texture map, which we brought into Blender and added fluid simulations via the FLIP plugin. The song was recorded in Logic Pro, featuring my childhood Yamaha Portasound PSS-270. The video was comped in Final Cut Pro. I'd love to know what you all think :)

    Does anyone here have a BOOX e-paper tablet? I'm a big fan of e-paper devices—I love my Pebble smartwatch, Kindle Paperwhite, and Light Phone II. I've been eyeing the Tab Ultra C for quite a while, and I am considering the pros and cons. Mostly, I intend to use it for browsing the web and maybe some light note taking and document writing.

    Suzuki's much anticipated re-issue of the Omnichord is here! It's a faithful modernization of the iconic form factor and sound of the OM-84, and it's expected to retail for around $800. Given that in 1984 these instruments went for between $260-$300 ($700-$1500 today), that's exciting! I've got an original OM-84 that's still going strong, but I'll definitely be keeping my eye on this new line.

    Yubikey on Linux?

    Hi friends! Has anyone here had success using Yubikeys on Linux? I've been going back and forth with support to no avail, trying to get my Yubikey 5C NFC to play nicely on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. Any suggestions are appreciated. I have the following Yubikey-related packages on my system: ``` libyubikey-udev 1.20.0-3 [Ubuntu/jammy universe] ├── is installed └── udev rules for unprivileged access to YubiKeys libyubikey0 1.13-6 [Ubuntu/jammy universe] ├── is installed └── Yubikey OTP handling library runtime python3-yubikey-manager 4.0.7-1 [Ubuntu/jammy universe] ├── is installed └── Python 3 library for configuring a YubiKey — transitional package yubikey-manager 4.0.7-1 [Ubuntu/jammy universe] ├── is installed └── Python library and command line tool for configuring a YubiKey yubikey-manager-qt 1.2.4-1 [Ubuntu/jammy universe] ├── is installed └── Graphical application for configuring a YubiKey yubikey-personalization-gui 3.1.24-1build1 [Ubuntu/jammy universe] ├── is installed └── Graphical personalization tool for YubiKey tokens libfido2-1 1.10.0-1 [Ubuntu/jammy main] ├── is installed └── library for generating and verifying FIDO 2.0 objects python3-fido2 0.9.1-1 [Ubuntu/jammy universe] ├── is installed └── Python library for implementing FIDO 2.0 pcscd 1.9.5-3ubuntu1 [Ubuntu/jammy universe] ├── is installed └── Middleware to access a smart card using PC/SC (daemon side) ``` UPDATE: After working my way down the entire software stack, I contacted the vendor of my USB-C port and requested a replacement. It did the trick...

    Hi friends! Can anyone recommend a good RSS reader for Mac, which supports the Fever API? I run a self-hosted FreshRSS server which I prefer to access through a client application. I have tried Fluent Reader, but it does not support the "starred" articles feature. UPDATE: I've been using NetNewsWire for a while now, and it's perfect.
