I mean none of these are actually pornographic ...

I thought this place was supposed to be "free", just how much of a user and speech genocide is happening on the backend that there isn't a single porn server on the whole fediverse ?

I mean, I did notice that you can't say duck the ducking duckers but I thought that was just a little quirk of my randomnly chosen lemmy instance and it wouldn't be a problem once I leave this server for my own, greener, self-hosted pastures ...

But what's up ? Is this place also infected with the depraved virulent anti-human morality of americans and their infinite hatred of the sight of the human body ?

What else are you HIDING from me Lemmy ? What other thought have you been making me UNTHINK ?

I'm quite pissed right now

What even is poetry ? Is it a dead genre from over a century ago ? Or is it whatever comes out when we're given the permission to speak ? Is poetry the place where you're expected to propagandize about your marxist cause ? Does poetry have to have a point ? What's the difference between poetry and a shitpost ? Is it the jagged edges ? Poetry is a shitpost with the sharp edges rounded off ? Is that what poetry is or is it what it has become ? Is poetry about not stirring anything in the reader ? I'm really asking, when I imagine a poet, I have the standard default culturally transmitted view

Which is this

Some sad and/or depressed person making remarks that otherwise wouldn't be remarkable, like a banana taped to the wall of a museum, is that what poetry is ? Is poetry a social construct ? I don't know, all I know was that I should take it seriously, so I'm trying that, see if that poetry's stuff is any fun.

Hi,

I just spent a lot of last week trying to access the console of an old datacenter switch. I made a cable from the pinout of a similar switch.

My switch is a Dell S3048-ON this was for a C9010, it turned out to be correct.

So I tried over and over to make it work, but kept getting this garbled mess, but the mess was consistent with the rythm of a booting switch, and it kind of always looked the same

With many of these, I have many spares I thought they were broken, but they were not

I checked the signals with oscilloscope they were, dirty

So I made the signals cleaner by tidying it up

But still, it is a mess of garbled text !

Here I am using the other kind of serial adapter, this one serial to ethernet

Here is two runs, still garbled

As a last ditch attempt, I remembered one my old server has a real serial port !!

And it worked !

Here is my two cents on that question

When I fill out a sponsorblock,
I feel like I have comitted an act of civic duty
I feel pride

I hope others feel that too

I want to ***** on the grave of Ivy Lee and Edward Bernays and sponsorblock lets me symbolically do it.

We are participants in an hyperwar and I hope our side win.

Fellow sponsorblocker,
I don't know who you are,
I don't know where you are
But can I see you and I am proud of you
Fellow sponsorblocker, I salute you O7

To stop the nasty goblins and their stooges
who constantly besiege our minds and try to infect them
##Is our solemn duty
in this digital hyperwar
To protect the innocent from their vile endeavour
to have less and want more

I found the multicast registery here.

https://www.iana.org/assignments/multicast-addresses/multicast-addresses.xhtml

I already knew that addresses between 224.0.0.1 and 239.255.255.255 are reserved by multicast.

Obviously multicast could be immensely useful if used by the general public, it would obsolete much of facebook, youtube, nearly all CDNs (content delivery networks), would kill cloudflare and company's business model and just re-arrange the internet with far reaching social implication.

So, why hasn't all these multicast addresses been converted in usable private IPv4 unicast address space ?

Of course, after than, whatever you've just plugged into it, will most likely not work

502 Bad Gateway
504 Gateway Timeout
X-Forwarded-For

The solution is probably somewhere deep in the bowels of whatever you're trying to make work

It will look obvious once you've figured out, that's why it wasn't mentioned next to the bunch of instruction you pasted into your console to install the thing

Just another day walking in the forest of papercuts

I am greatly displeased at the smartphone industry. I think it's time for a heavy handed crackdown about all the spying they're doing. The smartphone industry and in particular the company qualcomm I find an intolerable company in their practice, I believe they should be smashed, their equiment liquidated and their intellectual property destroyed.

The smartphone industry is a festering cancer on general computing, a persistent and pernicious assault on human rights. An invasion of our private spaces. A colonization of our lives.

I think it is past the point of reform, not that there are any regulator with to intelligence figure out what is wrong let alone the wherewithal to do anything about.

For those reasons, I think global thermonuclear war is our only realistic option for setting back the clock on this travesty.

I am willing to hear your alternative, I don't believe anything short of that has a snowball's chance in hell to change anything about this.

I'm sorry this idea is kind of hard to explain. Like if you had a torrent, but every week or so you'd have new interesting stuff to discover from it ?

LIke a "torrent channel" but fully decentralized somehow ?

Maybe you'd just get more torrents to choose from. Large, searchable torrent archives, "this week's new torrents" ?

What about receiving news video, streams without a website to coordinate it, no gatekeeper except the digital signature of the strangers you trust ?

Like, why isn't facebook a torrent network ? Why isn't youtube, just torrents ? Facebook and youtube without having to ask Zuck and Goog for permission ?

So irritating, you find exactly the thread about your issue,

You ask for the answer, but they close it instead !!

So everyone else is going to end up here, with no voice, no way to even say "hey you jannie why you'd close are thread, do you have a learning disability" ?

How often do you end up mute in those top threads.

And they wonder why public forums are dying !

And by that I mean,

An http server that serves word-like rich formatted text documents and includes a web-based rich formatting text editor to write and edit these documents.

With some searching I found these might be candidates

Ghost
WriteFreely / Write.as
Plume

And maybe the following editors in some kind of standalone mode

TipTap
Editor.js
Quill.js
CKEditor 5
Slate.js

Hi,

I really miss the old version of the website "weatherspark" It had an absolutely fantastic weather dashboard.

It was a old google-finance-like graph that you could scroll, to zoom in and out to increase the timescale, or left to right to shift the date at the center of the graph.

The lines on the graph shows, current temperature, historical temperature and prediction temperature.

There were bands around the temperature that would indicate temperature averages and records for the date period on screen.

If there were precipitations, it would show as another line the amounts.

In that simple graph you could get the sense of the local weather, what it's been and what it will be, this week, this month or 25 years ago with just your mouse.

With all the weather data being collected by government and available on public APIs, is there any open source self-hosted software that has an effective interactive data visualization user interface as weather spark of old ?

Here is what it looked like, all in a single graph with NO pageloads !

I am looking for an open hardware PCB Ready to send files for oshpark, seedstudio or jlcpcb like places

A PCB with the following features

wired of an MCU supported by mainline QMK/ZMK/VIA and or VIAL correctly wired for bluetooth/2.4G and wired battery powered USB-C port surface mount diode and individually addressable LEDs

Has anyone ever made such an open hardware PCB ?

Last month I purchased a keyboard, it is physically very nice and has all the features I listed above, except it runs it's own unmodifiable proprietary firmware, so the whole thing is garbage.

Pity because physically this keyboard is everything I wanted

Hi,

I've been searching for the right switches for a while now. And I have a box full of keyboards I don't like to prove it.

I found a keyboard I like but it's got the wrong switches on it.

I got a mathew yg108, that seems alright, though I have firmware trouble with it so far.

The keyboard came with switches as follows

Brown switch:Operating force:45g Pressure Force:55g
Operating Travel: 2.0mm Tactile Travel:1.2mm Total Travel:3.40±4.00mm

The tactile feels like almost nothing, almost like linear switches and while it's great for gaming, I like having way more resistance than that.

I know a keyboard that has the switches I like. It was a victsing pc315a

No idea what switches this uses but they have a lot more resistance at the activation point

Anyway, I tried my luck buying switches that looks like they might be like that

I got a set of outemu branded "orange" switches

here are the specs

I received them and installed one of them

original switch

new switch

new switch behind

switch hole

And after all this was said and done... I cannot tell the new switch apart from the other ones ! Feels exactly the same ?

Do I just need a stronger spring value ? I had a 45 or 55 gram switch Now it's almost 60 gram switch

How high to these values go ?

What is the next tactile standard switch force I can search for after 60g ?

What does the victsing keyboard use ?
