The cycle you set up here will be used for both Night Light and automatic wallpaper switching, and later for automatic theme or color scheme switching too, once either of those are finalized.

I'm super excited for auto theme switching hopefully soon as they've been prioritizing day/night cycle stuff a lot recently

Pretty spot on. Love the hipaa reference

A camera with great high ISO capability, larger pixel size, and a super fast lens of a short focal length. Make sure to have a capable editing software (Darktable is great) and know how to use it well.

I used 86box to emulate an old computer (period correct) and installed Windows 98se to run an old game.

Turned off completely isn't off. You'd need to put it in a Faraday bag

I said tend to be accurate. It's one way of starting to figure out what's true. We can't throw out that evidence as it just adds to other evidence. Also, peer review is not end all be all. It's a system that can be gamed and also used to discredit other studies

The evidence of the topic in the paper. The timing is a correlation

Why appimage and not a flatpak? I would like one too

I went through the Denver airport once with a work colleage. We got to our terminal and she opened her bag to find a book and found a giant butcher type knife she had forgot was in there. Complete blissful ignorance it was in her bag while going though TSA, same with TSA

Especially with all the talk of Transhumanism getting more common

 

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.

Are there any reviewers on YouTube/Rumble/etc. or independent blogs that don't post affiliate links, aren't sponsored by the printer company, or had one sent out by the company? Those to me all seem like a conflict of interest.

Yes people need to make money, I'm not blind to that, but they can advertise other things that aren't a direct conflict of interest.

I'm looking to get my first printer and would like to get info from an unbiased source. I just don't know enough to weed through the million 3D printer channels.

The Sovol SV06 Ace seems nice with little research as it is large enough to print the project I have in mind and uses open source firmware (Klipper) which is a must for me.

 

I'm just getting back into Legos and recieved the 10317 Defender kit for the holidays. I would rather it have white wheels (I don't mind painting) and found that there was a past model wheel that came in white. The only difference is the axle style. Instead of the cross pattern it looks more like a half cross. What is this pattern called? Is it compatible with the cross pattern? It looks like it could be.

 

Anyone else getting Umbrella "No stream available" errors?

I had watched stuff, shutdown, next day tried watching the same thing again as well as other shows/movies and got the error. No changes to the program or service. Now the majority of shows and movies give the error
