"Beyond the veil", because it sounds poetic.

The ad is from 2009, which was 16 years ago.

Genau. Man muss Menschen erlauben, zu lernen und sich zu ändern. Jemandem pauschal alte Aussagen vorzuhalten, wenn die Person sich vielleicht in der Zwischenzeit weiterentwickelt hat, ist dumm. Allerdings sieht es danach hier nicht aus. Ich habe natürlich nicht mit dem Herrn gesprochen. Aber so, wie er zitiert wird, klingt es in der Tat danach, als hätte er nur bessere PR gelernt.

Future? Futare? I don't know how that works but I like the sound of that.

 

Pictured here is Catherine Combs, then 19 years of age. If you don't know what this is from, just search for Folgers' infamous Coming Home commercial.

Same here. I have used everything on this list at least once.

Oh man, I haven't seen this in ages. Still funny.

I built a notifier for new movie releases for myself and there are so many of these movies. One would think the market is saturated by now, but apparently there are enough people who enjoy this kind of content for the never ending onslaught.

Yeah, I noticed that too. I'm not queer, but I welcome the diversity and variety. Definitely room for some sociology papers, I think.

I am happy that trans people can be who they want to be, even if there is still a long way to go. But I am thrown by how statistics, that consistently give numbers of <1% to 3% for transsexual people in the general population, don't match the number of transitioning stories I read online. I get why that is, safe space, confirmation bias and all, but it's such a major disconnect between experience and actual numbers that it constantly trips me up. From what I read online, the percentage of trans people feels like it's around 20-30%. Or, in this case, 50%.

My last trip to the US was 2016. I have no intention to visit again anytime soon. It's a nice country, unbelievably large if you're from Europe. But the current regime can fuck right off.

 
 

I am currently using Trilium for my notes. But I am constantly annoyed by the mobile experience. What I want:

  • sync across devices from a central server (this is why I went with Trilium, as having a web client means there's always the same notes everywhere)

  • native Android app with local storage so that I don't have to log in just for looking up a single note (this is what annoys me most about Trilium, plus the UX on mobile)

  • web version (for use on PC)

I only need very basic markup, markdown support is enough. I don't worry about security, as I run everything inside my own VPN.

Is there something like this out there? I always see people raving about Obsidian, but sync seems to really suck there. Using some folder sync is a no go for me.

 

I use a SIP provider for the landline at home. When on vacation I want to be able to make outbound calls with my landline number. I know this can be done, but I have no idea how. Does anyone here have some pointers for required hardware, software and configuration?

 

I am building a Wireguard tool for myself and I would like to receive events when a peer connects or disconnects. Does someone know if this is possible through some kernel API or EBPF?

 

I am looking for a movie, late 90s to late aughts. What I remember is a press junket for a fictional movie in some hotel and the chaos around it. One specific thing I remember is the director in the movie buying the Unabomber's shack to complete the movie.

 

Da fehlen mir wirklich die Worte.

 

Hi,

Is there good literature on how to repair stuff? Just general things, not specific appliances. How to repair wood, how to properly sand wood and metal, how to replace a tile, how to read and analyze circuits, identify faulty parts and correct replacements, etc. I just want to become better at repairing stuff.

 

I have a MiTV box with Android that runs apps for Jellyfin, Prime Video and Disney Plus. I would like to replace it with a mini PC, like some N100 box, to have more control over what runs on it. I tried a Pi with Kodi once, but I hate the UI so much. It's just not my thing.

What other options do I have with self-hosted alternatives? I want a central UI like AndroidTV offers, I need Jellyfin, Disney Plus, Prime Video and some local TV station's streaming offerings and some remote control.

I don't think that's possible, as you can only run Disney and Prime in a browser or their apps. And using a browser on the TV is not nice UX. But maybe some of the great people here have cracked that nut and can help me.

 

Are there any free/open-source TTS options out there that are on the same level as Google Cloud's? I tried a lot of free ones, but they are absolutely awful and still sound like my Amiga did 30 years ago. With LLMs being available as open source, I am hoping there's also a good TTS offering I just haven't found yet.

 

I really want to use Wayland, but the lack of a Wayland-based KVM sharing tool is an absolute deal breaker for me. I tried so many of them, but none worked. Waynergy looks alright, but it's only a client. rkvm didn't work at all and I don't remember the names of the other tools I tried. I know that Input Leap/Barrier has met their donation goal for Wayland support, but I am not holding my breath that it'll work with wlr.

Has anyone gotten KVM sharing to work with a Wayland host and other Linux clients?

Source for Comics? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Hi,

I am always looking for sources for comics, particularly franco-belgian in English or German. The only sources I can find are these godawful download sites where you need to pay or your download takes a day.

Anyone have better sources?

Edit: Thanks a lot everyone!
