What genuinely interesting people do you follow on mastodon?

  • Most drugs produce a sense of euphoria so Fentanyl just gets sold as whatever and because it's illegal it's impossible to understand the potency of what you're buying.

    Besides the issues caused by dealers adding adulterants, drug lab products have varying purity levels and a tiny mistake can create something totally different to what you intended with no way to test it.

    From Wikipedia: "In 1976, a 23-year-old graduate student in chemistry named Barry Kidston was searching for a way to make a legal recreational drug... Kidston successfully synthesized and used desmethylprodine for several months, after which he suddenly came down with the symptoms of Parkinson's disease and was hospitalized. Physicians were perplexed, since Parkinson's disease would be a great rarity in someone so young, but L-dopa, the standard drug for Parkinson's, relieved his symptoms. L-dopa is a precursor for dopamine, the neurotransmitter whose lack produces Parkinson's symptoms. It was later found that his development of Parkinson's was due to a common impurity in the synthesis of MPPP called MPTP (1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine), a neurotoxin that specifically targets dopamine producing neurons." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desmethylprodine

    • Looking for the simplest means of playing videos from a USB storage device on a non-smart TV

    Jump

  • I'd recommend a Raspberry pi running Libreelec. Its Kodi so has a great UI with no ads or tracking, supports HDMI-CEC so you can control it with your TV's own remote (on most models) and I haven't found a video codec it can't handle. Also if you decide to move to a NAS or streaming for your videos in the future it supports that as well.

    Any model of pi should be able to handle video playback from USB but older ones obviously can't handle 4k. Also a pi can't power a mechanical USB drive so if that's what you're using you'd either need them to have their own power supply or use a powered USB hub.

    One like this could be used to power the pi and drives at the same time: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Anker-PowerIQ-Charging-Macbook-Surface-7-Ports-3/dp/B00VE4UJD4/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=2SJ87KGXVYOFK&keywords=anker+usb+hub+powered+3.0&qid=1696764826&sprefix=anker+usb+hub+powered+3.0%2Caps%2C884&sr=8-1

  • Interesting point. I do have siblings, but they're half siblings. My father only had 1 child but my mother had 3, including yours truly. My paternal uncle had 3 children and my maternal aunt had 2. None of my siblings or cousins have had children yet but also they're still young, 4 are in their 20s and 3 are in their teens. Statistically at least one of the 7 will so yes you're right, it's likely that at least 1 and possibly both lines will carry on, and that I'll be a branch of a family tree some future relative may map off to the side which ends with just me. Think I might freeze some sperm...

  • That's cool if you're into Windows, but Linux or even Lineage OS should be able to run on it.

  • I'm no expert but I imagine that with a device like this, which will no doubt be popular amongst techie-types, there'll be a custom ROM out for it soon enough
