The new material has eight times better performance than pure cubic silicon carbide

Nowhere is it stated how efficient either material is, other than to say that the researchers are 5-10 years away from a material that's 10% efficient. So they must have an efficiency of less than that I guess.

From the paper, the closest I can see is:

The applied bias photon-to-current efficiency (ABPE) of the Ni(OH)2/Co3O4/3C-SiC photoanode reached 0.47% at 0.65 V vs RHE, which is 15.6 and 1.8 times higher than that of the 3C-SiC and Co3O4/3C-SiC photoanodes, respectively (Figure 4b)

I don't know how representative that measurement is though.

There are still opposite charges - each colour has an 'anti'-colour. So R+~~R~~=colourless G+~~G~~=colourless etc. This is how mesons work (pairs of quarks). Baryons are triplets of quarks but there are also combined tetra- and pentaquark states also.

You can think of anti-red as being cyan etc. but the colour theory can be more confusing than it's worth.

Thanks for posting this. I see it was on a few other communities last week but I missed it somehow. Great debugging and reminds me of the classic GTA5 online mode fix.

Does anyone know how debug symbols came to be available for the old games?

I bet that kid doesn't even know what a computer is.

In the System settings, under Window Management > Window Behaviour, in the Focus tab, there is a Focus stealing prevention selector. If it's set to extreme, then it does prevent switching to another desktop when I open a window that gets sent there.

I think that's what you want but I guess it would mess with all applications, not just Steam. I don't think you can do it per application.

I remember there being a window management protocol that would allow more control but I don't think Kwin implements it yet.

Barrier is only for inputs IIRC. To get Keyboard Mouse and Video (more usually KVM) you need some kind of remote desktop software. Rustdesk is pretty straightforward. I think Gnome handles RDP access natively now if you're running a Gnome based Linux distro. Otherwise XRDP is a bit of a faff, but solid once it's working.

That's a biblically accurate implementation if ever I've seen one.

If you have the docker-compose.yml locally, you can nix run github:aksiksi/compose2nix to translate it into a nix file for inclusion in your nixos system config. I think that could be done in the config itself with a git url but I'm not that great at nix. You will surely still need some manual config to e.g. set environment variables for paths and secrets.

How do the DNS servers resolve local hostnames then? The pihole DHCP integration adds local hostnames to DNS when they are assigned an address. If there's two DHCP servers handing out leases, presumable only one would be accepted, how then would the DNS servers sync those names?

I think I had my secondary pihole resolve local names from the primary, and leases were copied over on a cronjob in case the secondary DHCP server had to be enabled.

Not that it particularly matters for just queries. The problem is that DHCP can only be enabled on one host. If that one fails then devices can't get on to the network themselves. I'd like to know a good way to have a failover DHCP server - my janky cronjob isn't great.

Where do you do DHCP? I had a primary pihole with DHCP enabled and a secondary with a cron job that enabled DHCP if the primary was down or disabled it if the primary was working. The cron job did sync DHCP leases from one to the other but it was a bit janky. I tried to update the secondary to pihole v6 and hosed it so I have no backup for now. I'd like to re-image the secondary and get a better setup - when I have time.

Edit to say I really wanted to try keepalived - that's really cool to fail over without clients noticing.

How are you setting font size? I'm running Plasma 6.3.5 and 150% desktop scale looks identical to 100% with a 150% page zoom in Firefox. Just scaling fonts sounds like it would make everything non-text appear the wrong size.

I do notice a weird behaviour where Firefox renders at 200% scale when it's entirely within a display at 100% scale. If it overlaps another display at all then it uses the appropriate scale for each monitor. Maybe that's a setting somewhere.

 

Has anyone watched the Secret Level shorts released so far?

Unreal Tournament was a huge nostalgia hit for me and I think the episode was a great interpretation of it. I highly recommend for anyone who played.

The Warhammer 40k episode was also great though I don't have the same kind of investment in the games or media there. The others seemed fairly good for what they are but there's only so much that can fit in a 5-15 minute piece.

Amazon Prime Video link for anyone interested.

Some neat clips of the FLEX rover being driven and the hardware prototypes they have. The video seems to mostly serve as a hiring call though.

 

No word about their plans, but a video on the steps taken to ruggedise a cube sat for 10k·g acceleration. Seems like they're still doing something.

 

This video appeared on my home page and I had to look twice at the thumbnail: The Tomb of Saint Peter Explained

 

Here's the requisite Manley analysis of the GEM 63XL SRB anomaly on today's Vulcan certification flight.

 

I'm upset that a meme I tried to remake with Unicode box drawing characters lines up terribly in apps: https://lemmy.ca/post/28490027 Shouldn't code blocks render in monospace?

On Lemmy's web frontend it's perfect:

On Connect it looks like this:

On Jerboa it's basically the same:

Eternity does use monospace but the box drawing characters seem to be too wide.

All I can find about it here is one post from a year ago: https://lemmy.ca/post/1492857

Sorry for the crap photos - I just wanted to share these extra keys I added to my Lily58.

I noticed there was a gap in the matrix so I tacked a spare hot-swap socket to the pads on the back of the PCB. That worked with minimal modification to my QMK set-up. I couldn't really use it dangling off some wires so I set out to make an extension that would slot in and be retained by one of the standoffs. I don't have a laser cutter or 3D printer so I just hacked these out of a sheet of ABS plastic following a printed template and glued them up. They're nice and solid and line up really well, despite being rather rough around some of the edges.

I'm finding the 1.5U keys a bit confusing at the moment, swapping them out for 1U keys makes it a bit easier to home my thumbs. These are certainly much easier to access than the outermost keys on the lower row or the keys below the display. I'm thinking they need to be called Lily Pads.
