Jenny had married Roger, a man much older than her. Concerned about his health, she decided they should have separate bedrooms after the wedding to ensure he didn’t over-exert himself.

That night, after the celebrations, Jenny got ready for bed. Soon, there was a knock at her door. It was Roger, her 85-year-old groom, ready for some romantic time together.

They enjoyed their time, and Roger left. Jenny was about to fall asleep when she heard another knock. To her surprise, it was Roger again, full of energy. They spent more time together, and he left once more.

Just as she settled in, there was yet another knock. Roger, as lively as ever, was back for a third round. Jenny laughed and went along with it again.

Afterward, she looked at Roger in amazement. "I’m so impressed!" she said. "At your age, you’ve got more stamina than men a third your age. You’re incredible!"

Roger paused, looking puzzled. "Wait," he said. "You mean I’ve been here before?"

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!

So here it is: david.guillot.me/en/posts/tech…

Enjoy! 😸🔔

Push notifications without a mobile app: an experiment (with Django)

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:

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.

Head up, #maker #3DPrinter fans. The just-announced BambuLab lockdown on our printers is on it way - but you can still enroll your printer (with the usual caveats) to run rootable firmware.

Buuuuuuut,

You can still go through the opt-out procedure (or just not upgrade your printer)
