Compost the rich.

I.. don't actually know. I wouldn't think that would be necessary (at least manually).

Why can't we have a static vintage web? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

I believe that the text would have to be in at least a <body> tag, so.. you've got a bug. But yes, I was including browser bugs.

It transfers across other peers; you don't have to have a direct connection to the recipient, just an eventual connection to them.

Not without bugs to patch.

1% of their valuation and they can keep the model built on the stolen works.

Been looking into getting an "Indexed Universal Life" insurance policy. Are these trust worthy? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Don't forget the extra fees!

Grab a broad-market index fund with the lowest fees (e.g., VTSAX), set regular purchases, and move on with your life. Avoid insurance products that claim to be investments. Avoid anything with higher-than-minimum fees or load fees.

Good.

Why do i tip my bartender $2 per drink and per bar food order but 20% when I order food from a waitress? Am I tipping wrong? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] TheButtonJustSpins 12 points 4 months ago

I think 1-2$ per drink is the recommendation because it's easier to remember than doing the math, and you're more likely to drop the cash and go rather than interacting with a busy bartender more. That said, if they're doing full service for you (food, checking in on you), you should probably tip normally, because they're acting as a server in that case.

I'm still trying to get the hang of that sort of fit. I saw it in a video about crush ribs but it didn't work when I tried it. Will keep at it until I figure it out, though.

Turn off tips? (self.protonmail)

Is there any way to turn off the random tips like "make a receipts folder!" in the Linux desktop app?

vlc.py -- setting the time in a song sets the song stuttering and it doesn't really recover (self.python)
 

This happens if I use set_time or set_position. Is this typical, or am I just not doing it right?

This is on a Pi Zero 2 W, so not the most powerful, but should be able to handle this.

These are the relevant bits of how I'm setting up the player:

    self._vlc = vlc.Instance()
    self._player = self._vlc.media_player_new()
    self._list_player = self._vlc.media_list_player_new()
    self._list_player.set_media_player(self._player)

    playlist = self._vlc.media_list_new()
    for index in self._play_order:
      playlist.add_media(self._vlc.media_new_path(self._songs[index]))

    self._list_player.stop()
    self._list_player.set_media_list(playlist)
    self._list_player.play()

And trying to seek is just this:

    self._player.set_time(_s_to_ms(seconds))

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Bent RAM Clip (infosec.pub)
 

I've somehow managed to bend a RAM clip so it can't clip anymore because it's blocking itself. I haven't been able to bend it back. Any suggestions?

RPi 0W - How to stop long-running action (self.raspberry_pi)
 

cross-posted from: https://infosec.pub/post/12005873

I have a Keybow MINI hooked up to a Raspberry Pi Zero W, and I'm using Python to respond to events. I have one button that kicks off playing a song on a passive buzzer, and I'm wondering if there's a way to have a button press stop the song before it completes.

Do anyone else's wrist hairs get caught in the little gap between the frame and the trackpad/spacers?

Keybow OS (self.linux)
 

Does anyone know if it's possible to have events from the Keybow keyboard cause effects on the Pi Zero W running the keyboard instead of outputting to another machine? Or do I need to go with a different OS and figure out the handling of the keys myself?

Linux Mint battery tuning for Framework 16 (self.linuxmint)
 

cross-posted from: https://infosec.pub/post/11305365

Anyone have a list of changes that they've made to increase battery life? I've got about three hours (with 80% limit in BIOS, which I might get rid of), so I'm sure there's a lot that can be changed.

Not asking for password after hibernate? (self.linuxmint)
 

I just hibernated my laptop and then brought it back up, and it went straight into LMDE without asking me for a password on a lock screen. That seems.. like weird behavior. Is there something I can set to fix that?

Fingerprint reader in LMDE 6 with Cinnamon? (self.linuxmint)
 

Anyone been able to set up a fingerprint reader in LMDE 6 with Cinnamon? I can use fprintd-enroll and fprintd-verify successfully, but it doesn't show up in pam-auth-update so I don't know how to add it to the login screen or the terminal.

I know the drivers come in the distro package manager, but, is there a set straight from AMD? Trying to use Brave causes freezes and black screen flashes, which I'm pretty sure is a driver thing.
