A little less deduction, a little more Ferrari!

Thanks for the info!

I noticed this post on Mastodon, wanted to open it in the threadiverse, which nowadays I usually do through Piefed.social.

• Copied link
• In Piefed, Search > Retrieve remote post
• “Post not found”. Me: what? Did the author or mod delete it already???
• Clicked on the link to try, it opened on the native instance (lemmy.world) just fine! Neither author nor mod has deleted it. I read the article.
• After, I investigate a bit more. On Piefed.social, I am subscribed to [email protected] , I can open that /c & can see posts there. But not this post. It’s missing.
• Come to my Lemmy instance (lemmy.ca) with Alex front-end, confirm I can see the post from here. Twice even.

So why can’t I see it on Piefed.social??? Can I not rely on Piefed.social? Censorship, or just an innocent federation issue?

Maybe nominate it for #Monsterdon and show it to dozens/hundreds of people at once. (Live cast on https://miru.miyaku.media/ )

Looking here, it doesn’t seem to have been shown yet.

Thanks. Step 1 seems to make sense to me, but…(excuse me if this seems a silly question) this means I need a sound loudness measuring tool in order to use my phone as a sound loudness measuring tool? At least to do the calibration?

EDIT: Doh, re-reading, I see you already addressed that, thanks.

I like it rather than love it, but wow! 16%!

Lost River (2015)

I went into it with zero knowledge or expectation and was held by it from beginning to end (even when I knew it was blatantly emulating David Lynch etc, I didn’t care, I was gripped). Only to look it up online afterwards and find out that critics and viewers kind of hate it.

• IMDb: 5.6
• RT tomatometer: 30%
• RT popcornmeter: 38%

Thanks. I’ve installed it and looking at it now.

The experiment I need would be… Acoustic Amplitude, right?

And the steps would be? (sorry, I’m not very scientific)

“Calibrate” tab > “Calibrate”: do this when there is no/little noise?
“Calibrate” tab > “Offset”: no idea what to do here.
“Amplitude” tab > when there is noise I want to measure, press the play button?
“Amplitude” tab > after a bit, press the pause button?
Then, other? 3-dot menu > “Export data” or “Share screenshot”?

So, imperfect but perhaps one might help at least for comparing noise levels, e.g. the noise they’re making now compared to last night.

Saw that whole special a few year ago. Love him.

Ricky Gervais.

Liked him ~ The Office, Extras, podcast period, even some of his Golden Globes hosting, but now I find his “edginess” and mugging grating.

Used computers at school (BBC B), uni and work (beige PCs); and had video game consoles (Intellivision, NES, Atari Jaguar, 3DO, Philips CD-i, etc) but didn’t my own first home computer until relatively late, bought in 2000.

A Dell Inspiron 7500 “desktop-replacement” laptop, with:

• 15-inch 1400x1050 screen (shit hot back then, still higher resolution than many laptops today),
• 6GB HDD
• Intel Mobile Pentium CPU (can’t remember exact specs)
• 128MB RAM (a significantly expensive extra back then)
• ATI Rage Mobility M graphics
• Windows 98 SE (I tried out BeOS R5 PE on it, so much more stable but the only available graphics driver could only give 800x640)

And I’ve been cleaning out my mum’s shoddily built shed and just found it in this sorry state!

The hinge was always super stiff, and after 4-5 years snapped. I kept it alive for a while by rigging up some brackets to hold the screen. Eventually I put it away, and after a few moves it ended up stored at my mum’s. Now wIth a fair bit of opossum crap on and around it, and rainwater from the leaky shed roof.

I wonder if there are still any episodes of The Sopranos downloaded from Dalnet IRC on it.

I think there was just a post on Lemmy (maybe !SelfHosted) saying that Plex have just changed their terms to allow them to sell users’ data to third parties.

IIRC, Firedragon is Floorp with the best of Librewolf.

I was using it until a couple of months ago, when an update not only wiped all my open pages but also all the workspaces I’d created.

Over the last two and half years (since I quit Windows and Vivaldi and went FLOSS only), bouncing around between Firefox, Floorp, Zen, Firedragon and Falkon as my principal browser, while also checking out Pale Moon, Servo, Dillo, Netsurf, Agregore, Kristall. Also “special purpose browsers” like Station, Ferdium and FreeTube. (Is FreeTube a browser? I think it’s an Electron app, which is basically a Blink/Chromium browser, used to browse just one website in this case.)

Currently on my laptop:

• Fully-loaded Zen (multiple extensions and a couple of Zen mods) as my main browser
• Fairly minimal Firefox (just uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger) for streaming music (e.g Spotify without ads)
• Ferdium for email and IM
• FreeTube for YouTube (LibRedirect extension in Zen sends YT links to FreeTube automatically)
• Ungoogled Chromium as a backup in case some site just won’t work with a non-Blink browser. Haven’t used it in months.

Conky users?
