in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

I tried #GemRB a couple of years ago but got the impression that it still wasn't a good experience, but still a curious experiment.

The worst part was how unstable it was, causing frequent crashes more often than the original game engines. This would be one of the most desirable traits, improved stability and crash management like you get with #OpenMW (The Morrowind open source engine project).

Has it gotten better? I can't seem to find any recent gameplay or reviews of it.

I thought I was a Konsole power user.
But then I saw this list of Tips and Tweaks from @itsfoss for the KDE terminal and it blew my mind.

I'm going to try to use it as a desktop for browsing, email and maybe Zoom...hoping 16GB will do the trick!

@msbellows thin section of a meteorite in cross polarized light; the meteorite has Martian signature; "Olivine macrocrysts (to 1.5 mm) and microphenocrysts (to 0.4 mm) are set in a finer groundmass of patchily zoned pyroxene, plagioclase (maskelynite), Ti-poor chromite, ilmenite, pyrrhotite and minor merrillite" (LPI)

I found his Instagram, he tags his uploads with "AI artwork" and "generative art", so definitely AI-generated. Anyhow, a disclaimer would've sufficed.

in reply to Cyberlyra

I feel like if I accomplish nothing else in life, I at least manage to get a few students a year to use password managers!

I personally use KeePass, which if combined with cloud storage (I use Nexcloud via @mayfirst) gets you the convenience of a cloud service without any company holding your keys.

On my Windows 10 machine, I can switch the audio output device by clicking on the speaker icon in the bottom right. It brings up a list. This list contains eight (8) items, only two of which I frequently use, and some of which relate to software programs I no longer use at all.The list can only show four at a time. The two I use ("LEN" and "LG") are at opposite ends of the list, so I have to scroll every time.

Is there a way to reorder this list, and/or to rename the devices more helpfully?

in reply to mcc

I don’t know about reordering this list but you can disable sound devices you don’t use. I only use Windows on other people’s PC’s, so going from memory:

  1. Right-click the speaker icon
  2. Click sound settings
  3. Find manage sound devices
  4. For each device you want to disable, there should be a disable button

The disabled devices will be removed from this menu. To reenable, just go back to manage sound devices.

ofc, didn’t check the replies first 🙂 I see someone else responded with this, too 🤷

Hallo Friendica Profis,

ich bin aktuell am überlegen, meine lokale Instanz auf einen kleinen VPS umzuziehen. Deswegen bringe ich mich momentan auf den aktuellen Stand der Dinge, was die Installation eines LAMP-Servers und die Installation von Friendica betrifft. Beim rumstöbern bin ich auf eine aktuelle Anleitung gestoßen, wie man Friendica installiert.

Dazu hätte ich zwei Fragen:

  1. Unterscheidet sich die Installation auf einem Raspi zu einer auf einem VPS?
  2. Würdet ihr die Installationsanleitung so durchführen oder würdet ihr was anders machen?
  3. Was würdet ihr generell am System optimieren bzgl. Friendica und dem System selber?

Den Artikel zu der Anleitung findet ihr hier: blogzwo.me/raspberry-pi/friend…

Über Feedback sowie Tipps&Tricks würde ich mich freuen.

@Friendica Support @Friendica Admins

in reply to Unity :Friendica: ⁂

In der Docker-Variante muß man nicht einmal das machen. Und man muß auch nicht wissen, ob und wann eine neue Version erschienen ist. Man kann ganz einfach sterben und die Instanz läuft immer aktuell weiter.

Gut, das mit dem Sterben sollte man hinauszögern.

wait a minute.

removed windows features: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/wind…

Hologram app: We've replaced the Hologram app with the Mixed Reality Viewer. If you would like to create 3D word art, you can still do that in Paint 3D


deprecated windows features: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/wind…

Paint 3D is deprecated and will be removed from the Microsoft Store on November 4, 2024. To view and edit 2D images, you can use Paint or Photos. For viewing 3D content, you can use 3D Viewer.


microsoft has COMPLETELY REMOVED 3D word art functionality with NO replacement. my startup, Wordr (elevator pitch: it's like venmo for 3D text), relies on this. it works by running an AutoHotkey script on a windows 10 virtual machine over public facing RDP. thank god i haven't updated the VM in four years, or our USP would be gone





I used to grade papers at university. I would actually applaud that first paragraph for being so vividly expressed!

Now I want to know if she passed and what grade she got for it.


We need to do an Australian version of Wind in the Willows. This echidna so belongs in that play!

in reply to It's FOSS

For me these were useful:
- always use a single process, avoid multiple windows
- change desktop entry so that it always opens "konsole --new-tab"
- profile that uses the #fish shell

@Rainer "friendica" Sokoll Ich habe heute fulltime 6 Stunden Fehler gesucht. Ich bin kurz vor dem Aufgeben. Die docker-compose.yaml funktioniert jetzt, dafür habe ich einen neuen Fehler und der Container startet nicht.
Error: crun: error stat'ing file `/var/lib/containers/storage/volumes/friendica_friendica_friendica/_data`: No such file or directory: OCI runtime attempted to invoke a command that was not found
exit code: 127
in reply to K@rsten 🏳️‍🌈

Wenn Du mein Beispiel genommen hast: Da werden docker volumes verwendet, die müssen natürlich erst angelegt werden:
docker volume create friendica_db
docker volume create friendica_friendica
