Number three will get you through most all fences, walls, and locked doors. Become ungovernable.

I'm from Arkansas, US. I identify more with my small town than with my state or nation. I also identify as a southerner, but somewhat reluctantly.

In times like these, I repeat the mantra: "At least you're not in Mississippi."

 

I've got a few DS styluses that I'm going to sell for cheap on eBay. I know some are for the DS Lite (I think the purple one is). Which DS variant is the Blue one for?

Weightless by Marconi Union if you want something relaxing, and anything by Alon Mor for some more exciting, incredibly sound designed music.

That definitely looks promising. What's the workflow for getting the subscription data into the application?

[–] amminadabz 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I hear you. If I already had a list of the subscriptions I have, then yeah that would work. But I am a forgetful person, so I need (or I suppose, want) a tool that will get me to that starting point.

 

I'm looking for a tool that can help me keep track of what subscriptions I'm paying for. I don't really need extra functionality, I'm happy to cancel them manually. As someone who listens to podcasts, I've heard about Rocket Money, and it seems like it would get the job done. The question is: can I trust them with all of that data? Are there more privacy-respecting alternatives I should be considering?

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?

Podcasts! They're not all boring

Impressive. Very nice. Let's see the Duke of Savoy's lover.

This is rpm erasure

 

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?

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 :)
