This holiday season I'd like to make someone I think is very important a bit of joy, however I need your help with it.
National bank of slovakia is issuing so called commemorative and collector euro 2 coins to celebrate historic memories, anniversaries and other special events. A friend of mine is collecting these coins with her dad whenever it's possible.
I have found out this is not specific to our country as european central bank has standardised this process and all the countries that have accepted euro can issue such commemorative coins.
Now the part I'd need some help with.
Can you please check with the national bank where you live if you can acquire some of the commemorative euro 2 coins, make me an offer and send these to me through ordinary post / mail service please?
One week after we kicked off our year-end fundraiser, we’ve reached 800 #FriendsOfGNOME!
Our goal is a bit more ambitious, though: 1,500 by December 31. Help us out by joining today: donate.gnome.org
If you’ve already joined or are unable to right now, you can still help by sharing this post with friends and colleagues: blogs.gnome.org/foundation/202…
Let's secure the future of GNOME together and enable us to do even more great work next year.
This post was contributed by the Fundraising Committee from the GNOME Foundation. This week we are launching an end-of-year fundraising campaign with a simple goal: to reach 1,500 Friends of GNOME...
In the Starfleet Technical Manual, there is a throwaway detail of the LCARS user interface that when it is upgraded, users can still utilize the previous several versions. This is because their work is mission-critical and it is unacceptable to compromise the mission by forcing unfamiliar changes; eventual retraining is part of their job, but the flexibility allows them to take the retraining at their own pace.
I think about this from time-to-time and how this is still a sci-fi idea that is seen all too rarely in how we do actual computer UIs.
So @4squeakerpaws brother is a real genius. He dropped his brand new iphone in a snow bank. So me and suno had this to say about it. suno.com/song/7ad96709-c9f3-4f…
Snikket (snikket.org/) is an easy-to-install, and easy-to-administer, XMPP server. It is designed for families and other small groups. The apps for Android and iOS (based on Conversations, I think) are great.
Dino (dino.im/) is my desktop XMPP client of choice.
Profanity (profanity-im.github.io/) is a terminal / console XMPP client, which is incredibly convenient.
Why not have a fun festive project of setting up an XMPP-based chat server for you and your family and friends?
Snikket jsem chvíli používal, je to klasický XMPP server, instalace na pár kliknutí. Je to dělaný pro rodinu, či menší komunitu. Nextcloud i Matrix máme na Oscloud není problém používat. 🧩 Nextcloud
Nextcloud je vlastní cloud pro soubory, fotky, kalendáře a dokumenty. Místo Google/Dropboxu máš všechno u sebe, bez reklamy a bez sledování. Sdílení, zálohy, Office online, poznámky – prostě kompletní osobní cloud, ale nezávislý na big-techu.
💬 MXChat
MXChat je náš vlastní Matrix chat server – bezpečný messenger pro komunitu. Něco jako WhatsApp/Discord, ale open-source, decentralizovaný a s kontrolou nad daty. Můžeš psát, volat, sdílet soubory a používat různé klienty (Element, Hydrogen), vše bez reklam a centralizace. @neil
@archos Já pořád hučím do manžela, aby se mrknul na ten nextcloud. Přesně i z důvodu degooglizace. Každopádně ted jsem si už plně jistá, že to jde, tak jak jsem si to představovala. Má vlastní server, takže budu muset hučet víc. Jenže vy muži nemáte pořád čas 😁💆
@archos super, díky. Pomalu se degooglizuji, jak se zabydlím na #grapheneos , chtěl bych postoupit dál. Mrknu pak na #Nextcloud ... a nejspíš se ještě ozvu 🙂
XMPP používám s rodinou. Ne tedy snikket, ale server Ejabberd. Snikket má být jen zjednodušený aby to zvládl poižít i méně znalý člověk. Ale s ostatními servery to normálně komunikuje.
I really wonder what things the random comments on #FXRadio are taken from, such as the one about the vacuum cleaner, or Ken leaping into the air and landing flat on his face, etc. @NoiseBox
Those are audio description clips from various shows on UK television. Unlike America, AD there is on it's own track. So I just had @FreakyFwoof record just the AD track for a few random shows years ago, and it plays one at random every 777 seconds.
@Kaliah @FreakyFwoof I forget how I set it up. One thing is every 555 seconds, and another thing is every 777. I think AD is 555, so that would make it just short of every 10.
@FreakyFwoof What other thing runs on a time schedule? I know the FX radio jingles come every 15 minutes except for on the hour, but the descriptions are the only other thing I know of that goes off every so often.
@Kaliah @FreakyFwoof Well, I was wrong twice. I just looked at the configuration. AD plays every 704 seconds, and a random musical/production thing plays every 555 seconds.
Yes. the ID's go off at 15, 30 and 45 past the hour. Nothing on the top, because I'm supposed to do something more interesting for that, and I haven't coded it yet.
@Kaliah @FreakyFwoof Yeah. I made most of those back in 2013. I need to make a whole bunch of new ones to keep it fresh. Just haven't been in the correct headspace.
@FreakyFwoof I think my favorite ones are either the ones that go "This, this is FX radio! You're listening to it! Right now!" Or the one with Microsoft Zira.
@Kaliah @FreakyFwoof I think my favorites are the one that plays the music and goes "F... X... Radio," or the "This is FX Radio, all sound effects, all the time, 24 hours a day." Or the "Hello! You appear to be listening to FX Radio! What do you think about that?" And there are others too.
@Kaliah @FreakyFwoof Fun thing with the FX Radio" music thing. That's just the same ID rendered five times, because every time it rendered, the delay at the end was a little bit different.
I'm the kind of guy who would probably call up WFDD (local public radio station in North Carolina where I grew up) and ask if anyone who currently works there remembers that very specific instrumental version of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer you played on December 17, 1989, because I wanna hear it again, and I only ever heard it once in my life.
I'm not actually going to do it, but those numbers are accurate, and I do kinda want to know what version it was for absolutely no reason.
Thanks for bringing that nearly 36-year-old memory to mind, you weird brain.
@Jage Oh, cool. I don't think "instrumental classical kinda thing played by a North Carolina public radio station in December 1989" will be quite enough to go on, though. I'm mostly sure it was in the key of D, but it could be E flat.
Also, I have another very badly copied from a record to tape in the 70s synth version. I should be all like, can you play a better version of *insert ten second clip here*
Window management is one of those areas I'm fascinated with because even after 50 years, nobody's fully cracked it yet. Ever since the dawn of time we've relied on the window metaphor as the...
At the moment I am making a dynamic and intelligent tiling system that coexists with the mosaic as shown in the mockup and this has been a fairly wide road.
I have already achieved good results, but I think I will only have something that can be proved next year.
I initially used the Shelf algorithm to build the mosaic, but I ran into limitations I didn't like. I'm testing a hybrid approach: MaxRects algorithm augmented with some BSP algorithm features to improve space utilization and partitioning flexibility.
I need to weigh the pros and cons: a hybrid MaxRects with BSP improves space utilization and flexibility (fills gaps and eases reorganization) but increases computational complexity and processing cost.
In the end, it was worth trying to improve the algorithm I already had rather than attempting to implement something so complex that didn't meet my expectations.
Using the Shelf algorithm, I implemented an approach where windows are arranged with radial growth; exactly what I was looking for. This greatly improved space utilization and looks visually well-balanced.
Before the algorithm tried to complete the horizontal space of their "shelf" with windows before creating another "shelf". The look was very unbalanced and uncentric.
I tried everything: spiral packing, radial growth, bin packing... Each one promised to be "the definitive." The radial looked nice but had gaps. The spiral got stuck on edge cases. The bin packing ignored aspect ratios.
In the end, I went back to basics: horizontal rows with smart distribution. Windows arrange themselves in lines, respecting their original sizes. Simple, predictable, and it works.
Sometimes the elegant solution is the one that doesn't try to be brilliant. 🧘
Any time, and this is no an exaggeration, any time I stumble upon a piece of code, a translated string, a design, or a text that looks "off" I always ask the author "did you use any sort of LLM to make this?" and the answer is always "yes".
This shit is wrong, it produces wrong things, it gives the illusion of efficiency and productivity but it's just wrong.
Today is day 8 of 25 Christmas Songs in 25 Days. The year is 1963. The artist is Johnny Cash. The album is The Christmas Spirit. The label is Columbia, although my copy is a European release on the DOL label.
As much as I love this album and want everyone to hear it at least once, I’m enough of a realist to know that it is definitely not going to be everyone’s cup of tea. There are two reasons for this. For one, this is by no means your cheery Christmas album with bouncy songs. For another, this album leans heavily on the religious aspects of the holiday. However, if that’s your thing, and you somehow haven’t heard this album yet, I totally recommend it.

Windows 10 and 11 can automatically reboot for updates when you're not at your computer, and sometimes this can come at an inconvenient time. If you want to be able to see exactly when the reboot is about to occur, you can go to run, type in "cmd" without the quotes, and then hit ctrl+shift+enter to launch it with administrator privileges (this is necessary for this to work). Next, type "powercfg /waketimers" without the quotes, and it will tell you the time the system will wake up to install updates, or if the system is already on, the time at which the restart will occur. As there can be more than one thing listed here, the one you want to look at is "Reboot AC" on Windows 10, or "Schedule Wake To Work" on Windows 11. To help you locate these, these will have Microsoft Windows Update Orchestrator listed before them.

You transformed on every full moon. Not like you have a choice there. You traveled a distance of 2158 km. Where the hell were you going?? You awooed 147 times. We can't blame you, awooing is fun. You successfully kept your secret. Here's to another year!
Someone needs to write a book about social activism through funny gamer tags in online competitive videogames because they're pretty funny as hell, often very topical about pop culture and politics
ooooh I've heard of this! The eSIM got all fucky and wasn't registering VoLTE right yeah? Someone else complained about T-Mobile doing the same.
I guess if they're going to be so goddamn inept after like 10 years past the invention of the eSIM I'll just keep using phones with a real SIM card if I have the choice, anyway
When I moved in three winters ago I noticed a pattern during snowstorms: everyone would shovel their own section of walkway and nothing else -- sometimes just from the door to the street and not the public crossway or they'd just shovel their driveway and nothing else. This lead to there being a 20 foot section of sidewalk that was clear, then 20 foot not clear, then maybe another clear section down and on and off again all the way down the street, forever. The sections that were not cleared would freeze and become impassable, school kids would wipe out on them, the mail carrier would have to navigate through yards, etc. And through all of this I was watching some people clear their short sections of walkways with gas powered, self-propelled blowers.
So I started shoveling the entire block each and every snow. Sometimes my idiot self would use an actual shovel so I could be a total dork and do it while partialing (gets lots of car honks, cheers, and photographs. I apparently made the village Facebook group a few times with people thanking whoever it was doing this anonymous work), other times I'd use a handheld electric snow thrower thing and just wear my tail so that anyone viewing security cam footage to see who did the work was a weirdo. But I always went from one corner all the way to the other. Then last winter I started doing both sides of the street as well as the block south of mine because I expanded my arsenal of batteries to two. I did this over and over again regardless of how much snow or time or took - sometimes it needed several clearings in a day/night - because it was a decent replacement for my gym and actually resulted in something tangible I could see -- a clear path three blocks long with no interruptions. A thing of beauty. Each time I'd be sore as hell but feeling wonderfully accomplished.
Now and then my neighbor would see me doing his portion and would tell me that I didn't have to do that, he'd handle it later, etc. Did it anyway. And then it started to click for others. Last winter I noticed someone up the street from me began clearing half of the block to widen the path I'd created. Then my neighbor began to clear the south side of my block to complete it. Across the street someone now widens my path for a row of five houses. With the storm yesterday I did my paths and then returned home to find someone had cleared the south block after more snow accumulated. This morning, I did it again. A few hours later: engine noises. Four snow blowers out there making sure the path was completely clear block to block, end to end including cross streets. Someone has taken to start clearing up to some people's doors as well. It's incredible.
I did this because some people don't care but also I know some people simply can't due to age or physical ability and it's cool as hell because now I feel like we have an secret, unspoken group of Guardians of the Neighborhood thing going. I freaking love it.
Hey everyone else: 3200-3300 Maple Ave blocks are putting you all to shame. Step up.
I used to shovel not just my sidewalk and patio, but all my neighbors because they were connected and I needed to pass through anyway. I was also the youngest in the building as the others were much closer to retirement age and the contractors the condo association was paying to clear the snow either didn't do it properly or they'd just show up like late at night after it was covered all day and everyone was walking through it or on the ice that built up. What a waste, they wouldn't even pay someone to come do it properly so it was cleared BEFORE people needed it.
tl;dr be nice to your neighbors and burn down every HOA / condo association, they suck
Antisemitism in the U.S. has hardened into a "durable" new normal as fewer Americans feel any obligation to push back, according to a sweeping new survey shared first with Axios.
The survey also reveals a widening empathy gap amid rising hate incidents and a public increasingly convinced antisemitism is either exaggerated or not their problem two years after the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel.
The big picture: Around 3 in 5 U.S. adults think antisemitism is a minor problem or not a problem at all, the 2025 Antisemitism Landscape Survey released Thursday by the Blue Square Alliance Against Hate found.
If you only saw comments under the latest best of the month on the Eurovision channel… No, they are polite (at least what I saw, or mods clean them, I don't know), but I still had nausea. Absolutely disgusting.
My mom has a habit of ordering all kinds of garbage online that she doesn't really need (hello early dementia) and refuses to listen to us when we advise her on this. She texted me today asking for help as some "Amazon people have called and scolded her for ordering pallets of cat litter and potatoes" which I figured was some weird scammer thing
Talked to my brother. It's him and his wife. They're crank calling my mom pretending to be Amazon to make her stop ordering shit.
The doors are closing on the open Internet.... (I expect at some point they'll actually force you to submit ID to prove your birthday that you have added in there).
Almost finished working on a song. I hit my new record for track count: 58 tracks. I've heard of projects with hundreds of tracks, so it's nothing in comparison to those, but it's big for me. :)
@Bri Heh, I have no idea. It seems to be coping just fine, which is surprising to me, given that I've had to freeze instruments in the past to deal with smaller projects. I'm working on a mini PC now instead of a laptop. The mini PC still has a laptop like CPU, but I guess it has better thermal management because it seems to cope just fine without ridiculously audible fan noise.
@Bri It's also AMD where the laptops were Intel, which I suspect also makes a difference. The Intel chips probably had slightly faster raw speed, but my experience is that the thermals aren't great, particularly in a small machine.
@Bri Very impressed with this little mini PC given its price. My only complaint is that like a laptop, it has S0 sleep (modern standby) and no S3, which means the damned thing doesn't fully go to sleep half the time, so I end up shutting it down overnight instead of just sleeping it like I normally would.
@Bri Heh, I used to do that, but these days, I'm fussy about the unnecessary power consumption. I do have a Raspberry Pi running 24/7 for low power, always-on stuff though.
@Bri I hibernate mine most of the time or run it overnight, potentially with a scheduled shutdown if I'm running sync applications, since they're known to interfere with my mom's work VPN. I want to get a mini PC but unsure if I'll be able to, since this shit Altman pulled the price of DRAM has skyrocketed and it got so bad for SSDs that Crutial is actually dead, so I doubt I'd be able to afford one.
@x0 @Bri Yeah, I thought about hibernating, but strictly speaking hibernating puts more wear on the SSD. But then again, hybrid boot does most of what hibernate does anyway, so maybe it's much of a muchness anyway in terms of SSD wear, heh.

Hello. It largely depends on what band you are interested in.
For LW/MW/SW I'd recommend: Software: HDSDR - hdsdr.de/ Tons of shortcuts, you can easily tune, input frequencies, adjust filters etc. Cannot do FM stereo, RDS decoding possible only with external software. Hardware: I use Airspy HF+ Discovery and HF+ Dual Port. These have narrower bandwidth, but thei're nearly impossible to overload with strong signals. Great for both lower frequencies and broadcast FM. Won't work for DAB+ due to higher bandwidth requirements.
For DAB+ I use RTL-SDR blog V4 SDR and QT-DAB software. It's QT, so it has its ups and downs. github.com/JvanKatwijk/qt-dab
I have no experience with the more expensive, high end SDRs.
FOR #FMDX, there's currently a great combination. TEF-6686/6687 chip-based receivers, and FM-DX Webserver. The radios aren't strictly SDRs, but they are DSP-powered. The Webserver is maybe 90% accessible, with some accessibility bugs still unresolved, but they are rather minor. You can tune using arrows, input frequencies, view RDS data / signal strength etc. As far as I know, the keyboard shortcuts are undocumented, so feel free to ask, if you need to. FMDX Hub: fmdx.org/ FM-DX Webserver: github.com/noobishsvk/fm-dx-we… FMDX server list: servers.fmdx.org/ You need to activate the "Server list" button first to browse servers. My FM-DX Webserver 1: fmdx.praa.sk:39400/ My FM-DX Webserver 2: fmdx.praa.sk:40410/
Server description: QTH: Spišská Nová Ves, SVK 🇸🇰, north side of the building
RX: Headless TEF with FM-DX-Tuner firmware
Antena: Iskra FM-50F. Currently v, variable azimuth.
Note: I may occasionally lock to admin when I want to use the server myself.
