I think this was also the plot of the first Elite Force game. Been a while tho and I'm not sure if it's canon.

works with just three distinct weight values: -1, 0, or 1.

That's a trit.

Be cool if they could integrate with gadgetbridge

I rewatched this recently, and yeah. You do kinda just have to accept it as a product of its time. The language is incredibly dated, but if you can get past that it mostly still holds up IMO.

My first thougt is Rutger Hauer. Rarely in anything spectacular, but always delivers. Just a good solid back catalogue of surprisingly decent performances in otherwise B-movies.

With a little fucking around I'm fairly sure you could do it on the phone itself via termux.

Core 2 Duo.

Uhh.. Did nobody check with Intel about this?

There's a repo for it maintained by ghost, but you have to do the install and setup yourself. Can't vouch for reliability, never used it.

Pretty sure if you self host your own ghost install it's already available.

Yes, fuck Amazon and Bezos. No argument there. But this also helps people who have previously paid for content to break out of Amazon lock-in while keeping what they've paid for. You don't have to buy new stuff, but this means you can keep the old stuff.

It's still shitty because they ship with a 3.5mm -> 3.5mm cable (literally straight through, no inline silicon) that's billed as replaceable. It is, but only with -their- cable. It's a way of making a standard connection proprietary.

Aside from the pigtail USB-C -> 3.5 socket adapters which absolutely do suck, you can also get USB-C -> 3.5 plug cables (link for example purposes only, not an endorsement of amazon or this product) which can be pretty decent length and quality. This, together with headphones with a replaceable cable (also just an example) might open up a few more options for you. Added bonus that if the cable fails it's .. well .. replaceable.

Just be mindful that some manufacturers do the extremely shitty thing of placing the socket on the headphones in a very specifically shaped recess that only their cables will fit.

 

I have some downtime at the moment so I'm thinking of reviving my personal blog again. I have enough experience with managed services that I'm reasonably confident to self-host. I'm aware that WordPress / Drupal / Joomla will most likely do what I want, but they're way overkill for my needs and I don't need the extra headaches.

Currently I'm leaning towards ghost, even though activitypub is only in alpha as far as I know. Plume isn't actively maintained any more, which is a shame. WriteFreely is a great project but doesn't suit my aesthetics and doesn't support themes as far as I know. I know connecting a flat-file CMS to activitypub is possible, but seems like way more trouble than I'd like to go to.

Is there anything I've missed that I should be looking at?

 

I'm pretty deadset on switching my Legion Go over to Bazzite (for the controller support). One of the games I play a lot of is Elite Dangerous. While I'm quite sure I can get that up and running, there's a few third-party tools I use like EDMC and Voice Attack. EDMC and the like I'm fairly sure just need to get pointed to the logfiles, but I'm not sure how well VA will operate in a Linux environment. Anyone out there dealt with anything like this? It's not a deal breaker if it just doesn't work, but I'd like to know ahead of time.

 

Normally I'd go to r/mousereview for this kind of thing, but fuck that website.

Can anybody recommend me a mouse that isn't going to fuck out inside of a couple years? Was previously using an Ironclaw until the USB port went, replaced it with a Basilisk and the scroll on that one's started to jitter up and down now. I have fairly large hands and tend to use knuckle claw grip. Wireless is a must, builtin battery preferred, but requiring a single AA isn't a dealbreaker. I don't mind heavy, prefer a little weight tbh.
