What are your favorite Vanilla+ versions of classic N64 games, fan remakes, etc. that preferably can run on original hardware? For example Kaze Emanuar's Return to Yoshi's Island or Smash Remix.

I'm planning to get an Analogue 3D and have my kid grow up playing it along with other emulated systems on a RPi.

When BTC continues to half it will deincentivise people to mine it. Their rewards will drop as the price of electricity stays the same in that moment.

How will this affect BTC's usability? If less people are mining then does that mean there will be a traffic jam when people want to transact, thus significantly raising transaction fees and slowing the process? This will deincentivise people from wanting to use BTC.

At this point what else would people flock to to keep currency sovereignty?

BTC Lightning? Though this is dependent on BTC as a whole right?

Monero maybe? I don't know really anything on how that coin works.

I've been fairly successful at getting people to get on Signal of recent. However, I cannot find them in Signal to send a message. I'm on GrapheneOS, have them saved in the default contacts app (not something isolated like Fossify), and I have refreshed the contacts list in Signal. That doesn't work. So I type their number in the "find by phone number" and then all it offers is to "invite to signal".

Does anyone know what the issue is and how to fix it? I'm trying not to lose people from the Signal train but this is a real turn off for normies.

I'm going to be making a box like this with my RPi5 as I already have one and they sell just the OS. I am researching how to add GPS to the Pi5 and am now looking into antennas.

In this photo the antenna for GPS is the same style as the WiFi antenna. AFAIK they are referred to as "RF" antennas but I cannot find info saying that GPS will work with RF antennas. The GPS antennas are typically patch style or weirdly shaped.

Can I use an RF style antenna for GPS? Are there particularities when using that style of antenna? I know the receiver I'm looking to use is an active style. If not then I could use some help finding a small patch style antenna preferably with a detachable SMA cable port so I can run a super short cable out of the case.

Does anyone have opinions on Revelation vs Emerald Cross? Both are vanilla+ experiences of Pokémon Emerald for the GBA. They both look very good but I would like to enjoy the one that that is the better vanilla+ experience.

For comparison, I'm nearing beating the Pokemon league in Polished Crystal and absolutely love the game.

On the Retroid Pocket Mini V2 can Rocknix be installed as the sole OS while completely removing Android? I've only seen reference to dual booting when searching online.

Sorry I accidentally deleted my last post. I appreciate the answers the two people gave.

This is some big larva I found and the head looks centipede-ish but the body is short and fat with less legs.

I went through my images and found an old photo of a beetle that was on my screen door. Maybe it's a larva for one of these?

Hey everyone, I've been a long time photographer on a hiatus. Ever since learning about the existence of EQ mounts I have been excited to get back into photography and try the astro side of it.

I have a 300mm f/2.8 lens for my DSLR and am wondering if that focal length is any good. Thanks!

I don't use Discord much anymore and haven't used this program but this looks like a nice 3rd party Discord flatpak. It supports screensharing on Wayland. Just thought I'd share with the community

I just noticed today that Signal (not talking Molly) is now available on F-Droid via the "Guardian" repository.

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up.

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a modern designed case (preferably SFF) that has retro asthetics. Examples would be the SilverStone FLP01 and Ayaneo's Retro Mini PCs.
