It boots into a special mode to walk you through completing the assembly. The screen updates to reflect your progress and prompt the next step. This requires no tools to complete. Impressive! See linked video.

Also, all spam messages.

It might be related to earlier attacks on Codeberg because of their open support of diversity, equity and inclusion.

I’m sure Tesla shareholders are happy to hear he’s picked up another side project.

One obstacle all third parties face in the US is party-line voting, which favors the dominant parties.

On possible outcome is that he puts a lot of money into making third party candidates more viable, like efforts to ban party-line voting or supporting ranked choice voting. So, you could vote for the America Party candidate and then if they don’t have a majority ñ, you vote could roll over to the Dem or GOP candidate of your choice, reducing your risk of voting third party.

These changes would help Libertarian, Green and other parties as well. More choice for voters!

I host routing for customers across the US, so yes I need it all. There are ways to solve the problem with less memory but the point is that some problems really do require a huge amount of memory because of data scale and performance requirements.

Nope. Some algorithms are fastest when a whole data set is held into memory. You could design it to page data in from disk as needed, but it would be slower.

OpenTripPlanner as an example will hold the entire road network of the US in memory for example for fast driving directions, and it uses the amount of RAM in that ballpark.

As long you give them a good life before you murder them and eat them, that changes everything.

The same way that pigs are food and dogs are not. Cognitive dissonance.

This one has a blue checkmark.

May be spam. No other sites seem to be carrying this story besides this one that does not appear to a news outlet and is infested with VPN ads.

Thanks for sharing.

It does look like there’s a way to use PiHole personally for those who share the network with those who don’t want it: leave default DNS server setttings alone except for your own devices.

And if you aren’t home or available?

 

You've got multiple monitors and watch to switch to a window several windows away.

You could switch focus there with a number of arrow key movements.

"sway-easymotion" allows you to use to press a key that prints a one or two character label on each window. Press that key and your focuses switch there.

Over the weekend I submitted patches for a couple of new features. First, I added multi-monitor support. Second, I added a visual confirmation of which window was selected.

If you are familiar with Github and Rust, you can review the patches and try them out here:

Progress towards universal Copy/Paste shortcuts on Linux

 
 
  1. App redirects to identity broker
  2. Identity Broker redirects to social login
  3. Browser prompts to open password manager to access social login password.
  4. Password manager prompts for master password and redirects back to social login
  5. Social login prompts for security key.
  6. Social login redirects back to identity broker.
  7. Identity broker redirects back to app.
  8. "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'length')"
 

Keyboards with custom firmware supports keycodes like XF86Copy and XF86Paste. These are great for having truly global copy/paste shortcuts that also work in apps like terminals where "Control-V" and "Control-C" aren't supported by default.

I advocated that these keycodes be supported in a web browser, Qutebrowser. The author of that project, Florian Bruhin liked the idea and submitted a patch upstream to the QT framework, which is used by many apps associated with the KDE Linux desktop. And about 5 years later, apps will be packaged with QT 6.10 that include the fix.

Here’s the change description.

This adds support for the Help, Open, Close, Save, New, Cut, Copy, Paste, Undo, Redo, Back, Forward, Refresh, ZoomIn, ZoomOut, Find, Settings, Exit, and Cancel keys to the default keyboard shortcuts.

The bug report:

https://bugreports.qt.io/plugins/servlet/mobile#issue/QTBUG-93269

 

It is reportedly plug-n-play for basic features, but for more advanced features, something like this project would need to be patched to add support for the camera.
