  • I use the Sensi ST55 with the Home Assistant HomeKit integration. I got it from my utility company for $1 as part of an Earth Day promotion, but they sell it for $25 now. You might be able to find it pretty cheap where you are.

  • The scientific process does not operate on the order of hours/days, but months/years. It's very impressive that responses have come out as fast as they have. The fastest I've seen a paper come out in my field after results were in was 8 months, and that took 5 people basically dropping everything else they were working on immediately and working full time to get the paper written as fast as possible while keeping the same rigor.

  • I started tears of the kingdom on an emulator on my desktop PC, and wanted to see how it would work on my steam deck. After setting it up with autosync using NextCloud for saves, not only is it a better experience than the switch because I can sometimes play on my desktop at 4k with frame rates consistently higher than what the switch can do, but playing on the steam deck has comparable performance to the switch albeit at the cost of shorter battery life. I loaned my switch to a friend who doesn't have one so he could play totk, then I moved across the country and just decided to let him hang on to it until he's done. The only thing I miss is Tetris 99, but that's not a big loss.

  • I recently set up my partner's 2012 MacBook Air with nixOS and it's been a fantastic machine. I already had a nixOS configuration from my laptop, so it took all of 30 minutes to install and get to virtually the same state as my primary laptop.

  • I'm using it currently. Documentation is really annoying to deal with because it's changing so quickly. I went with a flake + home manager setup and tried to keep my config as spartan as possible. Most of the configurations I found online use a ton of files an a deep tree of folders and I found that really hard to follow. You can look at my configuration here.

  • I know it's not what you really want, and I haven't tried it yet, but I think your best bet is probably podfetch. I don't know if you've looked into it yet, but it's basically a gpodder server with a web podcast frontend tied to it. It's the next thing I'm going to try.

  • Can confirm. Just finished up at the UMD physics grad program. CMTC is headed by Sankar Das Sarma, and he knows his shit.

  • A great first app for this this type of algorithm would be an open-source replacement for Google Keep/Apple Notes.

  • If you can come up with a way to reliably reproduce the bugs you're noticing, you can make an issue on github. The developers seem to be very responsive and they want to fix things like that.

  • 30s forward and 10s back works fantastic for that, so I'm not missing sponsorblock that much either.

  • It has near feature parity with Pocketcasts. I have a lifetime subscription to Pocketcasts premium, but with all the price increases, I expect that I'll be switched to monthly sometime soon, so I've been looking for alternatives.

    I started with Audiobookshelf, but AntennaPod is much better for my use case. There are a few bugs, I'm still testing the automated features, and I have yet to test gpodder sync through NextCloud, but so far I'm liking AntennaPod a lot.

  • No clue. Could be just someone posting things in a really sketchy way, but could also be malware or something really bad like child porn. I messaged the mods about it the last time they posted one of these. The mods said they were handling it and then that post disappeared, but all their old posts are still up and then they made this one less than 24 hours later. I'd love more information on why these posts are still being allowed.

  • I use thunder and for the most part, it's great. I would love to be able to delete comments and copy text from other comments without needing to open a reply window, though. I think this functionality would fit perfectly as a long-press menu.

    Also, sometimes on posts with lots of comments, not all of the comments will load, and there is no easy way to force the app to refresh.

  • I use a Audio Technica AT2040 with a Focusrite Scarlett 8i6 audio interface.

  • I'm putting this here because I couldn't find a good summary anywhere else on the Internet:

    There hasn't been much work on this recently, but a summary of the scholarly work in this field can be found between these sources:

    The 2013 paper unfortunately is stuck behind a paywall, but message me if you would like to read it.

    My suggestion given the work in the field would be to keep temperatures around 30°C if you can because at higher temperatures, you could be reducing the lifespan of your drives.

  • Unciv

    It's a Civilization 5 remake (with multiplayer!) that is lightweight enough to run on pretty much anything.

  • Can you say what those temps are?

  • You're getting slightly slower print speed. 27ppm vs 32 or 36 for the HL-2300D.
