@mhoye I thought static on a TV was radio noise being interpreted as an analog television signal rather than from the CRT?

good morning/afternoon

@algernon it's a bit late to do that now but making it a SHA256 repo would prevent it from being mirrored to github

this is somewhat later than I would have liked to go to bed again

I wish all USB cables were labeled like this!!!

(Elecom brand, if anyone's wondering)

reminder: all those 'homemade hacks' for looking at an eclipse (looking through CDs, sunglasses, etc.) are going to damage your eyes permanently, and you won't notice until much later. they do not work.

you have exactly three valid options:
- look through certified eclipse glasses from a known-good manufacturer for <30s at a time at most
- go to your local observatory, they probably have equipment set up to do this safely
- project the eclipse on the ground using small holes but DO NOT look at the eclipse directly, also not through small holes

anything else will leave you with eye damage for the rest of your life. you do not want eye damage.

@ariadne @skyfaller it does? posts from threads have federated to me and I would be very surprised if I was on the allowlist (I have no idea if federation is working the other way, I have never interacted with a threads user)

@hexaheximal gentoo. I assumed it was a general linux issue, is it specific to some patches debian applies?

@hexaheximal does the 6.18 series have the same issue? (I updated the kernel on my server to 6.18.44 earlier today and am just waiting to reboot)

@sodiboo I have not used it myself but it seems to do what you want (providing a distributed, encrypted file store where the nodes actually storing the data are not necessarily trusted, but the gateway server (or whatever it's called, I only looked briefly) which you would host yourself does the encryption and so you can access your files unencrypted via it)

@sodiboo Tahoe-LAFS?

You'd expect that they skip certain numbers when numbering their vehicles, but apparently they don't…?

@freeplay the image just says "content not viewable in your region" :( (but I can use rimgo to view it)

@kemona_halftau meowing

I forgot about the eclipse until today and now I need to make a pinhole camera

@kemona_halftau why would it be enabled? I have literally never encountered middle click scrolling except for mentions of it on fedi

@kemona_halftau hello

@mkljczk @ariadne same
