Today it's 25C and humid. The butterflies are out in force, and it struck me that it looks like a white Christmas! I wanted to get a picture of a good flurry of them, but they weren't cooperating when I snapped my photos! The one photo looks good and captures some of them.
These are called Cabbage White butterflies.

Open Source NVIDIA Drivers Are Finally Good
If you told me that there was soon coming a time where open source NVIDIA would have good open source gaming drivers I wouldn't believe you but a lot of work...YouTube
Sadly my GTX 1060 won't benefit from this. Hopefully nouveau gets better which makes the 1060 more usable. I will still use proprietary drivers then.
The problem I have with nouveau drivers is that it does not support 2 monitors with my GPU. No way I am going to buy a new GPU.
Made my ERC application public. Since 2022, ~once/month a colleague has asked to see it (also ppl I don't know). As someone who didn’t have access to previous applications, I know it’s hard to imagine what might be completely wrong or missing, especially in small unis that don’t have much funding support. It's a structural problem and unfair that some have examples & others don’t. So here’s 1 example for those who need them.
A few thoughts about application sharing -->

hmm, that's a shame. the bot is really only designed to work with mastodon, and it only works with pleroma because they've cloned the API

current project: a GTK GUI for remotely accessing qbittorrent
basically, if you have qbittorrent running on a remote machine, but don't like that you have to use the web-based UI and would prefer a native desktop app, this project is for you!
it's also handy if you have multiple qbittorrent instances, because you can switch between them with a dropdown in the top left
Lynnesbian reshared this.
@thufie hmm, that first one could totally be doable!
i don't yet have a pause/resume all, but it wouldn't be hard to implement
Wishing you a Happy Holiday season from everyone at Nextcloud! ☃️💙
Thank you for being a part of our awesome and important journey. Take a good break, and get ready for more great accomplishments in the coming year! ✨

Thank you for the fabulous present of looking into #Peertube this year (not being sarcastic, I recall seeing this account mention words to that effect here).
Nextcloud itself is a wonderful gift, and having your videos on a platform that reflects Nextcloud's stated values will be one of the best gifts of the new year!
Happy 2024!

They Want You To Forget What A Film Looks Like - Aftermath
The 4K transfer of True Lies is what happens when a company uses proprietary tech to overwrite and denoise history.aftermath.site
great article. the thing is, if they used a little restraint, and dialed in the settings to preserve artifacts like film grain properly, they could probably do a decent enough job -- in cases where no 4K transfer is available, and the best we've got is a TV transfer tape or, god forbid, an anamorphic DVD.
but instead they've dialled it up to Mondo Smooth Mode and created these garish oil painting monstrosities.
i particularly the result in this comparison here:

TIS THE SEASON!
Along with Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever, another of my holiday traditions is watching this music video. So much better than "All I want for Christmas is you", "Last Christmas" or "Simply having a wonderful Christmas time".

Effective immediately CARTOONISTS RIGHTS will cease using the Twitter/X, citing mismanagement, disfunction, and increased hatred on the social media platform.Terry Anderson (CARTOONISTS RIGHTS)
I finally listened to the Dear Alana podcast, on a queer woman who died by suicide after being guided in the CU Boulder campus Catholic parish. I am so moved and heartbroken.
This Christmas, as part of the Boulder Catholic community, I will pray for the conversion of our church toward a fuller embrace of people as they are.
