I got this basic capture card, works straight out of the box. It does not have good contrast at 1080p (still acceptable) but the picture gets better at 720p. I can provide samples out of a camera or pc if anyone asks.
Turns out Sec 107 was put forth under The Right Honourable Brian "GST" Mulroney. (Bill C-40, 1985), PC. The Liberal way: let Conservative put anti-labour legisation so that they can use it later.
Workers voting CPC vote against their own interests. And LPC too.
I do all my self-hosting on a couple of VPSes. Because I have been using a single configuration for a couple decades, they both use MySQL for all databases.
Do you want to try to convince me I should switch from MySQL to PostgreSQL? If I should switch, why?
I'm slowly working on moving all my MySQL things to sqlite3, since none of them are particularly heavy lifts and MySQL is a giant pain in the ass...but I'm wondering if I should be talked out of this before I discover I regret it.
Having run like this for a while, my Opinions About Databases can be summed up as "for anything human-sized SQLite on solid-state storage is way, way better than anyone realizes, and there's not much room for MySQL/MariaDB in the world outside of social inertia."
If you don't need Postgres - and if don't know with empirical certainty that you need Postgres, then you don't need Postgres - then SQLite is plenty.
I'm looking for a site that has audio environments that you can listen to. I can't remember the name of it, but it lets you adjust the audio quality, and the length of the stream. It allows you to sign in with your google account among others, but that's all I can remember of it.
I wouldn't call on flight attendants to do millions of dollars of damage to Air Canada's planes, but I think that would send a message to the government and frivolously denying labour the right to strike.
J'ai un problème que personne ne comprend : comme je parle allemand (au niveau entre B1 et B2), pour moi le problème est de lire ces noms alsaciens comme Ilkirch-Graffenstaden ou Scharrachbergheim-Irmstett à la française 😊
@menelion Ah m'en parle pas ! Plus d'une fois je me suis écorché la bouche lors de ma traversée du massif des Vosges ! 😅 Par contre, top les balises du Club Vosgien !
Dear fedi, I'm looking for a needle in a haystack, but maybe you can help.
I'm looking for a song, roughly jazz with female vocals, sung by a Finnish goup or vocalist, with lyrics in English. The parts of the lyrics I remember say something like "we could be inside each other for a hwile."

Remember the trope where the thugs bring the person to the mob boss and they have a conversation about what is expected and the boss reminds the person that it is an offer they can’t refuse? This was the meeting in Alaska.
For anyone who needs it pointed out: Air Canada was expecting people to be upset about flight disruptions, and they were counting on people to blame the workers. So… make sure you tell your friends and neighbours that Air Canada expects flight attendants to do a bunch of work for free, and that you support workers in demanding fair pay for the work they do.
Audiobooks are a 100% valid way of reading, and if it's your primary way, I hear & honor ya.
Your irregular reminder that if you enjoy audiobooks Libro.fm is an incredibly good replacement for Audible.
Libro.fm provides DRM-free downloadable MP3 versions of the book (in addition to having an app you can use). They've had at least 90% of the books I've looked for.
They're also an employee-owned social corporation that allows you to support local independent bookstores with your purchases.
@Friendica Support Die #Mona App zeigt mir ziemlich bei der Verwendung mit #Friendica oft die Fehler-Meldung an dass der Beitrag nicht gesendet werden konnte, weil die Netzwerkverbindung unterbrochen wurde, ebenso kommt oft eine Fehlermeldung beim faven, dass das „faven“ fehlgeschlagen ist. Wenn ich mir das jedoch im Web-Browser ansehe wurde die Nachricht versendet und das Faven ist ebenso erfolgt. Woran könnte das liegen? @Mona app
@Tuxi ⁂ @Mona app Ich denke schon, aber vermehrt erst seit ca. einer guten Woche, wobei es egal ist ob die App auf dem MacBook, iPhone oder iPad verwendet wird. Vielleicht irgendetwas mit dem Timing der Bestätigung, dass der Beitrag gesendet und ein faven erfolgt ist?
@tux @heluecht Timeout for bookmarking is set to 15 seconds. Are you always getting an error around 15 seconds after you tap the Bookmark button? If it's earlier, then maybe it's the server that cut the connection too early.
@Mona app @Tuxi ⁂ @Michael 🇺🇦 Ich schätze die Meldung kommt bereits früher, so nach 10 Sekunden. Werde versuchen es mal mitzustoppen, wenn es das nächste Mal passiert.
Oh, how I wish Discord would just go away, but it doesn't seem like that's going to happen for a long time. It seems like it's reaching the hight of popularity and inaccessibility at the same time.
Have the possibility of applying more than one filter to an email. For example I want all the emails for the address xxx@tutail.com go to folder personal, but if they have a specific subject apply other filter.
I'd love to have some visual feedback if a Search came back empty because there's nothing matching the search string or because not all emails in the specified time range are locally cached.
ability to adjust the text size on all screens (not just zoom in, but actually changing the size), for those of us who have poor vision and can hardly read the tiny default text size
Please work on the import of contacts for iOS. If I import a contact which has information in the notes field, it doesn’t migrate it to Tuta. It’s not usable for me, if this doesn’t work.
Search functionality. When searching for an old email, it should scan everything, not the last 3 months or however far I've scrolled.
Phone alerts. Some times the Tuta app elects not to notify me about new mail, which makes me miss info or events. Wouldn't be a problem if POP3/IMAP were an option, then I could use another app, but that would defeat the security sales pitch.
Those two are my reasons for switching to another email provider.
Mainly applies to mobile apps: 1. Ability to check new emails by pulling down in the inbox (pull-to-refresh). 2. Ability to change the app icon (looking forward for a version with the white background).
I would really appreciate subject line in notification on desktop. It is already working in mobile, I don't know what is the blocker to have it on the desktop as well
this is a long shot that has probably been asked for in the past, but it would be really cool if Proton and Tuta's end to end encryption features automatically worked together. That way you wouldn't have to keep everyone on the same email service to ensure private and convenient emails.
Bitte in der Desktop-Version das Symbol zur Archivierung dauerhaft anzeigen lassen. Am besten sollte man in den Optionen festlegen können, welche Symbole dauerhaft angezeigt werden sollen.
this is a big ask, but one of the things stopping me from switching to Tuta from Proton Mail is the email filtering. Proton Mail offers Sieve filtering, where I can check if the receiving email alias is a member of a contact group, and route is based on that. I have my email aliases as a contact group, and if someone sends an email to an address that deviates from that contact group, it ends up in spam.
a better search function. It's very difficult to find an old email because the word we search is searched in the title and thé body of the email. We should have the possibility to select how and what we are searching. I don't know if i'm clear.
@MurrayWindripper and scheduling email! That would be really usefull. That's something i often use (with other systems) : i write my emails in the evening & schedule them for the morning.
If that option was created i would more gladly use Tutanota for professional tasks :)
It'd be quite useful if I could quickly create reminders for e-mails I receive. Now, when I got an e-mail that requires a follow-up action (one that is not urgent) I create a reminder in calendar, which is a bit tedious. Being able to create quick reminder and get notification (e.g. next weekend) would be helpful. Functionally it would be similar to snoozing e-mails in Gmail 🤔
Here's a 20-minute tutorial In which I demonstrate how I use #Suno AI to cover/remix my tracks in new ways. A few people have been asking me to show this because the website's a little incomprehensible, so I thought I would do a bit of an explainer. Here, I'm using NVDA screen-reader in windows with Google Chrome.
If you are attempting this on MacOS, you will likely have to interact with the item and move over to the play button before being able to do VO+Space to play your item. If you don't, nothing much happens. In all other respects, MacOS works very similarly to windows, so you should be able to follow along with this demo successfully.

Thank you so much Andre! that proves once more my claim that AI won't replace humans, but those who work *with* AI will be far more productive. One question: Can you fine-tune your generations? Like, I noticed in the first acoustic guitar one that there should be an F# E, but it actually was two E's in a row in the bass. Can you tell it something like "look, there is this note, correct it to that"? It might be a stupid question but that's how I work with AI assistants for coding, that's why I'm asking. Thanks!
@menelion I don't know honestly. I just move on because I know what it can do and I have about 4 gigs of files to prove it. When I don't like something, it's easy to simply ignore it. Maybe you can fix those things but I can't say I've found good documentation on it.
Just as an FYI, you can press enter on those artwork icons and the music will start playing. Plus, those artwork thingies only appear when the song has completed processing. So no need to go back to the library after hitting create.
I realised today that I’m not really a mega fan of anything. Like… there’s no band, show, or creator that I’m a die-hard fan of. And it kinda makes me sad. There’s this joy in being so into something that it becomes part of your identity, and I’ve never really had that. Sometimes I wish I knew what it felt like to go full feral over something. So tell me, what’s the thing you’re a mega fan of? What gets you screaming, defending, or just fully obsessed?
Please repost, as I"d love to see all the answers everywhere.
I got utterly hooked on novels by Dave Duncan, a Scotsman turned Canadian who, after retiring from geology in his 50s, ended up publishing over 60 books before his death in 2018.
I picked up the first of one of his series by pure chance, and got sucked in for days during one of the coldest winters we'd had for years. The first 3 days stuck indoors, no work, no warmth, nowhere else to go and nothing to do, set the tone for me to enjoy dozens of his stories afterward. I'd regularly preorder one of his upcoming releases and be excited for it for weeks. The build-up and the anticipation were tremendously fun.
While I'm generally very pro-EU, this #ChatControl initiative they keep pushing - despite experts persistently debunking the rationale behind it - is indefensible.
Instead, this initiative will create an extremely invasive surveillance state where everything you type, view and receive is automatically scanned & potentially (falsely) flagged for human review.
This would mean the end of privacy.
If you are an EU-citizen, please consider writing to your MEPs.
And another great newsletter by Jonathan & Melissa from Raw Signal Group on AI in work and the loss of humane interaction in all of this. "None of this is real and it doesn't matter"
LibreOffice does not include artificial intelligence (AI) out-of-the-box. But many users want AI features in the suite – so we encourage developers to make them available as optional extensions.
I give #xmpp a try every few years hoping that it has become easier to use.
I recently installed Kaidan and started chatting with another person using Kaidan. I then installed Conversations by @daniel hoping I could continue the conversation there.
However, every message we had sent in @kaidan had been replaced with “This message is encrypted with OMEMO 2 but could not be decrypted”.
I guess the keys are stored locally and needs to be transferred to Conversations somehow?
I'm on xmpp.earth which seems to have good XEP support.
I like how any Mr. Beast contest can be described as "What if a bad person was forced to give away large amounts of money but found a way to still be a total dick while doing so?"
So among the various things i #selfhost is my NAS. It's just a desktop that I installed a nice disk controler and some 12K SAS drives and #TrueNAS. But it lives, like a lot of my kit, in the garage. And it's hot in the garage tonight. Ambient air temp is like 82F/28C at 23:00 at night.
Most of the time it's fine. CPUs tend to run around 45C just doin normal stuff. But when I do an scp of a film I've digitized on my laptop, it goes over gigabit ethernet and that seems to warm up the CPUs. For the whole like 45-90 seconds the scp is running, the cores get super hot. Then it calms down.
@feld yeah. I pips 100 a little. I am either gonna have to bring it inside or wait for cooler weather to digitise my films. 😜
I got the documentary “Aliens Expanded” (about the film “Aliens”) and the MKV is 38G. It’ll only take 5 minutes to transfer. But that would be 5 minutes at 100C or more. So, I don’t date.
