I have one 27in 5k monitor and one 24in 1080p monitor. When I try to change the dpi for one, the other changes with it. Is this the intended behavior? Do I need to fiddle with xrandr? Do we still use xrandr on Wayland?

Also, get a sleep study for sleep apnea. "It is estimated to affect 10% to 30% of adults in the United States but in many cases goes undiagnosed". -National Sleep Foundation

I'm recapping the analog and logic boards on my Macintosh SE, because they have known leak risks. Is there any evidence that the Sony PSU has similar problems, or can I leave it alone?

That's the one! Damned good on the eyes, too.

I've got a thunderbolt chip on an AMD motherboard, which doesn't usually happen, and I'm running an LG 5k monitor through it. I use an IBM model M over native PS/2. I've got a Ryzen 7, but a GTX 1060 cuz it still works. It's running Ultramarine Linux, based on Fedora.

Criticism is welcome!

Symbolism breakdown:

  • The gold semicircle represents the rising or setting sun, a symbol of change. Morrilton is currently growing after a period of decline, so this sun represents the glories of the past and of the future.
  • The white field represents a blank slate, the city's enormous potential to grow. It also represents the sense of morality and community that binds its people together.
  • The green band represents Petit Jean mountain just outside the city, and the semicircular cutout represents the Arkansas River Valley which encompasses Morrilton and many of its neighbors.
  • The ruddy semicircle with white border represents a wine glass; Morrilton is the seat of Conway county, where the sale of alcohol is allowed, surrounded by dry counties to the east, north, and west. The color also represents Morrilton's 3 major educational institutions (UACCM, SCCSD, and Sacred Heart) all of whose primary school colors are a shade of red.
  • The blue band represents the Arkansas River, on whose shores the original settlement was built. This further represents the rich history of the city, as well as the past and present flow of trade along the river, railroads, and I-40.

I feel somewhat confident in the geometry of this design, but I don't know anything about color theory so I'm open to suggestions on that. The present colors were picked with the help of an AI, followed by some mathematical derivation using software and hand tweaking.

 

I'll be in DFW for a concert in May. Do any locals have recommendations for retrocomputing locales in the area? I.e. used electronics stores, recycling centers that let you take things, et cetera. I know Computer Reset is pretty much done at this point, but I'm from rural Arkansas so I imagine there's still a few good spots much better than what I have at home.

 

I love the graphic design on these old removable media.

What are some poems or other texts that you think should be put to music? I might use one or two of your answers :)

I have been a bad plant parent and left my poor ficus in a hot sunny car for a few hours during a move. I've now gotten it to a place where it gets the right amount of sun (I think) and watered it, but it still isn't doing well. First one, now two leaves are drooping, and the top of the stem is shriveled. What can I do to help it?
