By the life of the party by bringing crossover cable, allowing you run ethernet directly from one laptop to the other for some intimate social networking. Keeps the LAN uncongested for everyone else.

Nice ethernet hardware will detect if you cable is not a crossover cable in this situation and reverse the pin mappings for you.

It's all fun and games until someone brings a USB 2.0 thumb drive.

The file could transferred over the LAN and the network de-saturated faster the file could be copied off a USB 2 drive.

Solar panels are popular with progressive Indiana churches too, who don’t mind saying they help address climate change.

In either case, a reality is that churches are a big buildings with big power needs, and the panels can pay for themselves over their life.

And if the panels get fully or partially funded by donations, that ROI can come much sooner.

I helped my Indiana church get 304 solar panels installed. It was the most panels for a church in the state at the time.

They save about $500/month in electricity.

This site seems to a content farm, recycling other sources for this.

It makes several references to WXYZ, which did original reporting on it. Their story is here:

I was reading about trail etiquette and saw the recommendation that if you must walk on muddy trails, walk straight through the mud, not around it. Otherwise, some trail sections will get wider and wider, disturbing more of forest.

People are not always prepared to walk through mud, though. And sometimes a small re-route around a low spot is a stable change and not ever-widening.

Still, the idea got me thinking. Now on trail runs I’m more inclined to plow straight through.

It appears to have the display functionality of swaybar, the default dock of Sway.

Reminds me of the headphone company that got caught stuffing foam into one of their headphones and selling them for less.

It was cheaper that actually making two different models…

No, you can’t prevent open source software being mirrored, nor can you can compel citizens and companies of other countries to stop working on it.

Must be completely unrelated.

In 2004, Munich, Germany led the creation of LiMux and switched the city to that from Windows.

In 2017 they reverted to Windows.

In 2020 they re-asserted the intent to switch to open source.

What’s old is new again.

I picture it shattering with force of going over a hard bump.

 
  1. App redirects to identity broker
  2. Identity Broker redirects to social login
  3. Browser prompts to open password manager to access social login password.
  4. Password manager prompts for master password and redirects back to social login
  5. Social login prompts for security key.
  6. Social login redirects back to identity broker.
  7. Identity broker redirects back to app.
  8. "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'length')"
 

Keyboards with custom firmware supports keycodes like XF86Copy and XF86Paste. These are great for having truly global copy/paste shortcuts that also work in apps like terminals where "Control-V" and "Control-C" aren't supported by default.

I advocated that these keycodes be supported in a web browser, Qutebrowser. The author of that project, Florian Bruhin liked the idea and submitted a patch upstream to the QT framework, which is used by many apps associated with the KDE Linux desktop. And about 5 years later, apps will be packaged with QT 6.10 that include the fix.

Here’s the change description.

This adds support for the Help, Open, Close, Save, New, Cut, Copy, Paste, Undo, Redo, Back, Forward, Refresh, ZoomIn, ZoomOut, Find, Settings, Exit, and Cancel keys to the default keyboard shortcuts.

The bug report:

It is reportedly plug-n-play for basic features, but for more advanced features, something like this project would need to be patched to add support for the camera.
