Switch emulator Ryujinx shuts down development after “contact by Nintendo”
  • This does not apply to difficult projects like emulators.

    E.g. suyu, a yuzu fork, does not seem to get much development. Most of the changes are build or documentation related. [1]

    Those emulators will work fine for the currently supported games, but without new competent people (trying to stay anonymous), I don't see how these emulators will improve.

  • Rauschmittel: Cannabis ist die neue Volksdroge
  • Ohne legalen Verkauf macht das die Verfolgung von Dealern schwieriger, was auch der Grund ist, dass nur max. 50g zu Hause erlaubt sind.

    Verständlich aus Sicht der Polizei, aber trotzdem nicht gut, wenn das Ziel ist, den Schwarzmarkt zu bekämpfen. (Bekanntenkreis mit Selbstanbau zähle ich als Graumarkt.)

  • Mouse with USB-C and replaceable battery?
  • It's reasonably easy to replace the internal battery of many mice, which might be worth a try if your mouse is fine otherwise.

    E.g. below is an example of a Logitech G Pro Wireless battery replacement. These exact tools aren't necessary, and a replacement battery can be found for 10-20€.

  • Findroid is a native android jellyfin client.
  • Findroid does less, but what it does, it does better (imo).

    In addition, Findroid supports jumoog's Intro Skipper and Trickplay, which isn't available in Jellyfin Android.

    The major missing feature is transcoding support.

  • Nintendo shuts down Switch emulator Ryujinx
  • Nintendo didn't put legal pressure on emulator devs for decades at this point, which made devs less cautious about preserving their pseudonymity.

    Now it's too late and they can't stop Nintendo from finding out who they are and which mistakes they did at some point over the years.

    Maybe a new generation of emulator developers will be more protective of their identity, by using hosting providers like Njalla or privacy networks like i2p. The latter would limit access (as it requires i2p), which isn't desirable for most users.

  • Inflation sinkt weiter: Gut für alle außer der AfD
  • Da die Löhne der meisten Menschen erst nach Jahren, wenn überhaupt, zu den aktuellen Preisen aufgeschlossen haben, wird sich mMn. nicht viel verändern.

    Es ist gut, dass die Inflation nicht mehr stark steigt, aber Aussagen wie "der Mindestlohn wurde 'erst vor kurzem' angehoben, dementsprechend reicht das für die nächste Zeit", obwohl die Erhöhung nur die Verteuerung der Jahre zuvor kompensiert, wird viele Arbeitnehmer nicht zufriedenstellen.

    Letztendlich hat die AfD ihr neues (altes) Thema bereits gefunden.

  • Is it possible to stay anonymous when joining a private tracker community?
  • Most people using these sites prefer the lossless codec flac anyway, which can be transcoded to anything.

    MP3 320kbps and MP3 V0 is transparent to most (all?) people, so there's not much of a reason to go with a newer codec, except for space savings.

    There's not even much of a reason to go with 320kbps, as V0 achieves the same quality with smaller files. That's why almost nobody actually downloads MP3 320.

    I personally think MP3 is there for historical reasons, as I don't see a reason for using lossy codecs for archiving purposes. Just download flac and transcode it once or on demand on a media server for streaming.

  • Pro Tip: If you are using a Mac, and your PLEX library on an external drive is behaving oddly, and/or mounting very slowly; check the format.
  • Not natively, as far as I know. NTFS works well on Linux for the most part (unless you need permissions), but macOS natively only supports reading.

    FAT32 is universally well supported, but the partition size limit and 4GB file size limit make it unusable for me.

    Linux filesystems as well as macOS filesystems aren't supported natively anywhere else, so ExFAT it is.

  • Pro Tip: If you are using a Mac, and your PLEX library on an external drive is behaving oddly, and/or mounting very slowly; check the format.
  • ExFAT does make sense, since it's the only filesystem which supports read and write on all major OS. Sadly it's also pretty basic, and thus not the first choice on any OS - except for USB sticks.

    I generally recommend formatting any new storage media before using it. Just to make sure it's properly formatted to work with my machine, and the manufacturer didn't mess up their implementation for some reason.

  • Pop!_OS 24.04 and new COSMIC desktop hit alpha • The Register
  • Navigation within a single workspace is pretty much the same as in Sway/i3.

    I don't remember how it's done in Sway/i3. If you have two monitors side by side, moving the focus from the left most window on the right monitor to the left, moves the focus to the left monitor.

    A major difference is the workspace design. In Cosmic, there's currently a single set of workspaces for each monitor. In Sway there's one set shared between all monitors.

    The workspaces can be either horizontal or vertical, which is useful depending on how you configure a multi monitor setup. This is because with vertical workspaces, moving down from the bottom window moves the focus to the next workspace (and vice versa).

    In my case with two monitors side by side, this is awesome, because moving the focus feels like moving naturally on a single giant plane. E.g. moving down moves to the next workspace, then moving to the left moves to the left monitor, where I could move up to the workspace above etc.

    It's difficult to explain for me, so I recommend giving it a try (or maybe wait a while, depending on your needs, e.g. there's no VRR, no window rules etc. Also, currently monitors have to be aligned at the top edge to be recognised as side by side. If they aren't, moving between monitors and workspaces doesn't behave right.).

  • Pop!_OS 24.04 and new COSMIC desktop hit alpha • The Register
  • I like the Cosmic tiling better than Sway, because it tiles through the long edge by default.

    I.e. If I just two windows after each other, Sway will tile them as two equal columns. If I open another window, it'll add another column, while making each column the same size.

    Cosmic also creates two equal columns with two windows, but the next window tiles the focused column horizontally.
    With three windows this means half the screen is a single window, the other half is two windows taking up a quarter of the screen. Obviously if you instead focus another window, it'll be tiled instead.

    This is basically the same behaviour as the autotiling script for Sway/i3, but it works reliably (I've always had issues with those scripts).

    Messed up folder structure for arrs
  • fclones is fast and supports hardlinking/softlinking of duplicates instead of removing them.

    I've used it successfully to deduplicate my documents folder (and "archive").

    As its quite the amount of data, I recommend using the --cache option to make subsequent runs way faster, if you want to dial in the options. This directory can be deleted at any point and isn't necessary.

  • Network Switch
  • There's different types of relay, including exit relays, which are the legally problematic type. Middle, guard, and bridge relays don't face the same issues with law enforcement and IP blocking.

  • Durchschnittlich 8 Tote und 1 004 Verletzte pro Tag im Straßenverkehr im Jahr 2023
  • Wenn wir von einer Geschwindigkeit von 150km/h ausgehen, wäre das ein Bremsweg von ungefähr (150 / 10) * (150 /10) = 225m.

    Wenn jedes Kind ungefähr 30cm Platz braucht, wären das 218m an Kindern.

    In dem Fall sind es sehr kleine Kinder, da sie durch den Aufprall das Auto nicht ausbremsen.

    Mit der Dreifachen Geschwindigkeit an einem "Achtung Schulkinder"-Schild vorbeizufahren, ist doch noch im Rahmen.
