There are two modern ways to capture HDMI video into a computer using OBS. Both require a video capture card.
A PCIe video capture device allows you to capture and record video and audio from a device and save it to your computer through HDMI.
Besides a PCIe capture card, you can also use a USB video capture card. A USB video capture card is more portable, but you can only use one in each USB port.

We would also like to #welcome all people joining us today! If you are switching over from #Twitter, #X, #Facebook, #Instagram: welcome into a truly federated social network.
While you've made the switch, consider also moving away from that other big corporation named #Google: a great alternative is #OpenStreetMap . There are many apps (such as @organicmaps or #osmand)
There are also a lot of maps about a specific topic. You can find a collection of them on mapcomplete.org

📣 ✍️ New #webdev blog post!
This one is special to me, partly because it took some time to cook 😅 , partly because I talk a bit about #ux (which is not my main field), and partly because it features an experiment: after talking about #webpush and #pwa with #django, I'm asking my dear readers (you 😉) to visit a small demo website and tell me how it went!
You can give feedback here, or on Lemmy, Lobsters, etc. I'll update the post with the links!

MapComplete has seen a few improvements in the past few weeks. A few highlights:
- opticians now have a question if eye exams are done in the the shop
- A new theme for scouting is available: mapcomplete.org/scouting - it uses the NSI to pick a relevant icon
- toilets can now be rated
- One can mark if a mapcomplete.org/drinking_water point has (ice)cold, ambient temperature or hot water
- Charging stations have a 'charge point' layer
- and a lot of bugfixes!
Test it on mapcomplete.org!

I made another little controller for @mixxx. This one lights up the LEDs on my Obinskit Anne Pro 2 computer keyboard to match their actions in the Mixxx UI. Ie. the play/pause buttons ('d' and 'l') light up in the track color when their decks are playing, hot cues reflect whatever color are set in Mixxx, and the crossfader ('g' and 'h') set their illumination based on how much of each channel is in the mix. There's a demo of it here:

Journalists’ flawed math and ignorance of crypto markets turn tokens into fake fortunesMolly White (Citation Needed)
This is not to downplay the extent to which Trump is grifting his devotees and crypto traders looking to make a buck on memecoin speculation. But it is important that we accurately report on his cons and don’t contribute to misleading crypto hype for the sake of large numbers.
To understand crypto “valuations”, take the example of MollyCoin. If I conjure a billion MOLLY tokens out of thin air and sell one for $1, I’ve just created a “billion dollar” cryptocurrency.
Cynicism is the cheap seats. It’s the fast food of intellectual positions. Anyone can point at something and say it’s broken, corrupt, or destined to fail. The real challenge? Building something better.Joan Westenberg (westenberg.)

Zadany stav v clanku me prijde mnohem nebezpecnejsi. Defensivni pozitivne-skepticke postoje se rychle zvrhnou v sanewashing. Viz treba media ve vztahu k Trumpovi a jeho kampani (vs cynicke postoje proti-trumpovskych republikanu).
Weird tech mystery of the day.
I am running a Bookwyrm instance, which receives a post request to /inbox about twice a minute, from mastodon.sdf.org. The user it is posted as no longer exists, and every time this happens, SDF returns a 404, which is then logged here. Any idea what is going on? The two IP addresses the requests come from belong to mastodon.sdf.org, so I am assuming they are not forged.

- les minorités de genre et les personnes LGBTQIA+
