I'm a tournament organizer for a local Smash tournament. We normally host our brackets on start.gg. However, the site is pretty unreliable. Occasionally, we've had to run the bracket on challonge.com instead. Recently, the venue wifi was having issues and we almost had to run it on our phones which wouldve been brutal. Every alternative I can find is either web-based or is commercial software for big E-sports events. I just need software on my laptop (I'm running Linux Mint, the other TO uses a MacBook) that can generate a double-elinination bracket based on a seeded list of entrants. After that, it should be able to track the bracket progress over the course of the event. This seems like a pretty simple concept but I haven't been able to find anything.

I recently switched my desktop to Linux mint. Overall it seems to work well for me. The one exception is that my password manager, Keepass, won't work. I currently use Gdrive to sync the database between devices. It works very well for this purpose. Is there another way I can sync this file as seemlessly as Gdrive? It would to work for an Android phone and Mint PC.

This channel normally posts board meetings and short progress updates on specific sections of the project in a pretty dry way. This is the first time I've seen them lean into a more engaging method of getting the word out.

I find it disgusting that they feel the need to appeal to their importance for economic activity. Safety should be a worthy enough goal to maintain such a lightweight organization. Trump says he wants to bring industry back to America. With moves like this, it's clear the actual intent is to keep workers subservient and expendable.

I want to make the switch but I want to test run first before fully committing. My PC has an M.2 SSD. I was thinking I could buy another one, swap them out and put Linux on that. In an emergency, I can swap the SSD back. Does this seem like a viable/sensible path toward Linux? I don't really have too many files on my PC that I care about. I don't want to dual boot. I did that on a laptop back in the day and it was annoying.

Dan Gelbart is a rich Canadian guy who made his millions building machines for other companies. Now he has a money-is-no-object shop to mess around in. I particularly like the video going over his lathe/grinder combo that he designed and built. The spindles and ways are on air bearings and it's incredibly precise. Also check out his video on flexures where he shows off a simple water jet part that allows 25x resolution for you measurements or positioning.

Game starts at 4:05. He entirely relies on game audio to play the game. Street Fighter 6 has good accessibility options that he uses to help understand the game state.

On the Beehaw local page, it's filled with posts from the Socialism community. On my subscriptions page, it's filled with posts from a 196 community. I'm glad Lemmy is getting communities that are gaining traction, but I don't want my feeds dominated by a few communities. I'm not sure if this is a Lemmy issue, a Beehaw issue, or a Thunder issue. Anybody have any ideas?

Pictured is mainly the shoe unit and backing plate for a CNC internal grinding machine. The quill sans wheel is on the right. The single point dresser is mounted to the shoe unit. This is a picture taken before re-fitting this grinder to grind taper inner ring bores. This grinder wasn't meant for that so I took a picture for reference while we discussed what modifications were needed.
