I have done literally nothing with my printer except print parts and benchies so they're all just PLA black. Wish I could help!

Haha, I might have to dust off my Ender for this.

Just used this as an excuse to setup a monthly donation. I love this little instance...

It did say I would get Jamaharon included though? I assume my Horgon is in the mail?

He doesn't need to actually stop them, just make them appear illegitimate. Also, in places where Republicans are in power already, they will absolutely do this and suddenly we're looking at a midterm where the best outcome for Democrats is losing no power instead of gaining any.

I have a wife stuck in the Adobe-verse and yeah, going back that far should work great. It didn't become a huge hassle until they started being insane with the licensing.

Uhh, is this not a direct reference to that song? I immediately took it that way...

The treatment of Bernie in the 2016 primary also made me lose faith in our form of flawed Democracy. Living in a red state, primaries are my only chance to have any effect on the national Democratic Party and 2016 made it obvious they would accept no challenge to the status quo. Superdelegates are plainly undemocratic, but the post Citizens United world makes both parties absolutely beholden to the corporations.

We literally can not have a candidate that is against business and therefore can not have a candidate that is against fascism.

That said, I will probably continue to pull the lever on my purely symbolic, utterly pointless, placebo vote for the lesser of two evils because people don't understand that the only non-voters that matter are the ones in battleground states.

I don't get why anyone thinks this will be consequential anymore. We already know what's in them, Trump's base does not care. The Supreme Court basically made Trump untouchable by the law...

I mean, I'd take some legal deus ex machina to get us out of this shit any day, but at what point are the Epstein files the distraction from the fact that Americans are being wantonly murdered by the state?

DFHack has some good commands for managing the clothing, but I think the base game should just have jobs queue up in the clothier shop automatically, potentially based on a fortress wide outfit. And yeah, worn items should basically disappear when replaced unless they can be shredded / melted into something usable.

"Don't be a minority" is a rule so deeply ingrained in their ethos they think it's universally understood already.

Haha, was gonna say that seems pretty optimistic.

I still haven't done it, although that's probably because I refuse to use the Byzantines and keep spawning myself as a weird pagan Roman in the middle of Catholic Italy...

Star Trek is just a setting at this point. Lower Decks proved you can do funny and respectful of the fans at the same time. I agree some of SNW's campiness is a bit over the top, but I'd rather a show spend time trying to do something different like a musical than be totally reliant on drama/action like Discovery (a show that was actually good on the rare occasion the cast could take a break from universe ending peril).

I'm doing two simultaneous runs, a good Sorcadin run on Tactician and a dark urge, evil Berserker run in Honor Mode that follows along. The good party is basically acting as an advance team to remind me of the scary encounters, ambushes etc. but I've also never done an evil durge run so it's not exactly a 1:1 comparison.

The evil party is just shy of Act 2, but I'm playing with the only companions I have access to (because of my evil actions) and I'm roughly trying to play them on type. Astarion is a Gloomstalker Assassin, Lae'zel is an Eldritch Knight and Shadowheart is a Light Domain Cleric. We are cake walking at the moment, didn't really break a sweat through the Underdark and Monastery. I'm concerned at not having a true caster... But I'm also sort of intrigued at the viability of this party.

Counterspell is the big thing I'm worried about. The advance team is proccing it constantly. Also replacing Haste with potions would suck and I can't get the Haste bow (I assume, Dammon is dead). So far relying on cleric skills for AoE has been working okay.

Can I get away with using speed potions and maybe something clever like going full anti-magic and using Sussur blooms with some party tweaks?(edit: apparently that's not possible anymore, but still Silencing weapons etc.)

Or, should I bite the bullet and spec Minthara as something castery when I get her? If so, who do I replace?

Any suggestions welcome.

 

I have my Linux box running my TV and it works great, but I'd like the ability to treat my Chromecast as a desktop window for streaming without switching inputs, multitasking etc. I have an HDMI capture card that works great with a Switch, but the Chromecast detects it's not HDCP (DRM) compliant so it won't work. Is there a way to outsmart that detection with software or hardware?

I've heard some knock off hardware confuses it enough to work but it seems like the info is old and I'd rather not roll the dice on hardware that's otherwise garbage...

 

Hey all. I use the Jellyfin Android app to control an MPV shim running on Linux (Arch, Plasma 6) and for the most part it works great. However, sometimes the app just completely loses track of what's playing or where in the video it is. I can still pause/play blind, but I'd like to be able to tell where I am in a season/episode. Any trick to dealing with this?

For reference I have the app set to "unoptimized" battery usage so it shouldn't just be going to sleep. I do have to open Jellyfin to actually send pause/play button presses from the notification though so I don't know if I just need a better workaround (I'm on the latest Android version if that matters). I also had the same problems using a Chromecast but never bothered to mess with that since the dongle is proprietary, but with the mpv shim the whole stack is open source so I thought I'd ask...
