BlueSky uses AT Protocol which is similar to how you break things down: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT_Protocol

Should be trivial to set up something like that if you’ve got parts you want to work with. Any desktop with an automatic background switcher should be able to cycle through images in a directory you specify on a timer. Set up your favorite remote access software (SSH, Samba, NFS …) and you’re done. If you want more control over the behavior, you could script up something custom with a little more effort – but it’s still not particularly hard to implement something like that.

Watch out for burn in on the screen if you’re leaving it on all the time.

The snap came back

It wouldn’t stay away

It was on my desktop

Are you trying to write your own parsers for these formats or something like that? I don’t think I really get the issue you’re running into.

If you want to just display formatted text (esp. including HTML), you can use a browser (either as an embedded widget in a custom app, via an Electron app, or in a regular browser via an HTTP server) and generate the output on the fly. You don’t need to save the converted output if it’s fast enough to generate…

the contents of these tickets need to be encrypted at rest

If that’s the actual requirement – i.e encrypted at rest – then store the database on an encrypted volume instead of encrypting the messages themselves inside the DB. It will likely be more performant, and much, much easier to both implement and maintain while still providing good security.

Just ducky.

Instances go down a lot – often permanently. e.g. kbin.social, lemm.ee, etc.

When an instance goes down, it takes out all the user accounts and communities on it, and it’s hit or miss if you can find copies of the posts on other instances.

“Colder than a witch’s tits!”, as some of my relatives are fond of saying.

Yeah; I think so. When I got this file originally, I think it was from here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Neptune_Voyager2_color_calibrated.png

which says:

Neptune on 1989-08-17, taken by NASA’s Voyager 2 probe. This color image was composed of three frames, orange, green, and blue, taken by Voyager 2’s imaging system. This color image has been calibrated to best represent Neptune’s true color and appearance. Based on: (in English) Irwin, Patrick G J (2023-12-23). “Modelling the seasonal cycle of Uranus’s colour and magnitude, and comparison with Neptune”. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 527 (4): 11521–11538. DOI:10.1093/mnras/stad3761. ISSN 0035-8711

It looks like I re-compressed the version I posted with webp to reduce the file size for quicker viewing on lemmy – so the colors in that are a little off from the PNG on Wikipedia, but are still closer than the classic enhanced color image.

It’s also light blue; pictures of it were just always published with exaggerated colors for a long time. It’s actually more like this if you do better color calibration, apparently:

Demons Roots is probably the best RPG Maker game I’ve played that was actually playable as an RPG. (So, not counting things like To The Moon which other people have already mentioned.)

I wasn’t a fan of most of the sexual content in Demons Roots, but taking the whole thing as basically a giant love letter to fucked up doujinshi stories – i.e. to unpolished indie writing with wild genre bending plot twists in addition to the hentai stuff – I can accept it for what it is. The game has that RPGMaker wabi-sabi; it’s not especially well-crafted software… but the combat was OK (unlike a lot of indie RPGs), the music was good – a mix of original and mostly well chosen asset packs (I still listen to some of it occasionally!), and, without getting into spoilers, it did a couple of very memorable things…

By “legacy” they probably mean that they work with the older process technologies, not that the fab itself is old:

The acquisition includes an existing 300 mm fab cleanroom of 300,000 square feet and will further position Micron to address growing global demand for memory solutions

In its May 2024 ’Hooray, we’re open!’ announcement, PSMC said it invested more than NT$300 billion (US$9.5 billion) on the facility, and that it had capacity to produce 50,000 12-inch wafers per month under 55, 40 and 28 nanometer technology nodes.

Those kinds of chips are still very useful for things like cars and washing machines and such where you don’t need bleeding edge chip tech.

Most games have trophies designed by some corporate drone and consist of a handful of trophies giving for completing the storyline and the rest for token actions that you’ll inevitably do while playing.

Those are basically just publicly accessible analytics for how far people typically get in a game.

As others have noted, you can use the mount command from the terminal. On Mint, you should also be able to use the Disks utility that ships with the OS if you’d prefer to use a GUI.

Computer Science is basically just a Frankenstein amalgamation of interconnected subjects related to computers that have been useful for universities to lump together for teaching and/or funding purposes. I have a Bachelor’s degree in it. Most of the courses were split between either more “theoretical” / math-y courses on discrete math, probability, “Theory of Computation”, etc. (where we were mostly solving math problems/writing proofs) or practical programming courses on things like “Intro to Java”, “Debugging”, and “Software Engineering Best Practices”, etc. (where we were mostly writing programs). Some met in the middle – e.g. Algorithms, which got into things like graph theory and complexity classes while also requiring us to write programs. The traditional “hard” courses also included compilers and operating systems where we were supposed to learn enough to build at least toy versions of both. I also had digital logic courses that got into to the boundary between programming and electrical engineering (but without going too deeply into how electronics physically works or is manufactured) – e.g. covering logic gates, state machines, the design (but not physical implementation) of CPUs, Verilog, etc.

Basically a “computer scientist” is someone who does something academically interesting about/with computers – either on the mathematics of what can be computed, or on the practical applications of computer technology. Most people who study it go on to become professional programmers rather than academics though.

Bee-kake

Thanks. I finally managed to get him this morning! Just barely won though. 23 HP left, Estus flask empty and used an Ember for healing late in the fight… One Ashen flask left. Used the Pestilent Mist strategy in combination with Sunlight Spears and Tears of Denial (which triggered twice, I think, during the fight) – cast using Crystal Chime+5 and unequipped my sword to stay under the 70% weight threshold. 8 Estus / 7 Ashen Estus split. SL143. Ring of the Sun’s First Born, Morne’s Ring, Sage Ring, Estus Ring. Dragoncrest shield (for fire defense) + Crest shield (for Dark defense) that I meant to switch to for the second phase, but didn’t. Armor was a random collection of whatever seemed like it might help – most significant piece was the Winged Knight Armor; I look really goofy. Started game as Deprived and played early game as Dex fighter before switching to mostly pyromancy mid-game. Highest stat is currently 40 Faith – I did some grinding to get there from 35 to free up a ring slot for an earlier strategy that didn’t work. (The 3 guys who drop down on top of the Archive are worth about ~21K souls each with my best grinding gear equipped and are vulnerable to Rapport – best grinding location I’ve found so far.)

I’m sure the guys who live and breath this game will be like “Lol, git gud scrub” but it’s my first playthrough and I’m just happy I managed to pull it off at all. :p

Still getting my butt kicked by Dark Souls 3. The end is in sight though. I’ve already beaten the final boss of the base game, but I’m going through the DLCs. Finished Ashes, but still stuck on the M. boss fight in the Ringed City DLC. (I’m too stubborn to just skip it – or, well, I have been so far, at least…)

Edit: I did it! Finally beat DS3!

I have a 1050 Ti running the 580 driver under Linux Mint; it works fine.

I’m still using DDR3 in some of my systems, so there’s probably someone out there who could make use of it – finding them may be a challenge though.
