@icedquinn, if it’s only for streaming, there’s also Owncast. TBH with PeerTube 6.1 transcoding no longer necessary so it’s quite possible to host at home as well. @captainepoch, you can set up Wireguard between your home compooter and a public one and reverse proxy it from there.

Can’t say I’m surprised, @efraim and @clacke, chickens basically defecate everywhere (if kept in cage they fall into the other category tho I believe).

@icedquinn, I’m not sure what skipping should look like, but I’ve just tested with Xonotic and don’t notice anything unusual even when spinning really hard.

Forgot to mention, but the ProtoArc uses tiny (plastic? ceramic?) instead of ball bearings and I’m not sure how durable/replaceable they are. The Ploopy Classic is indeed an amazing device for a multitude of reasons but its price (including shipping to the other side of the globe) with the risk having to deal with customs (under a certain price there’s no fee and I don’t have to communicate with them) in a language I don’t understand is just not worth it for me.

@icedquinn and @tyil, there are a few new clones of the MS Trackball Explorer in town now. I recently got a ProtoArc EM03 for 1/10 the price of the Ploopy to use at home. No idea about the quality of its sensor since I’m no serious gaymer, but here are a few differences compare to the Classic:

• There’s no leftie version, yet somehow my ball craddling skill mirrors quite well
• The pinky button is moved to the thumb
• It works wirelessly and only wirelessly, despite using USB for charging :blobraccoon-facepalm:
• No QMK, tho libinput ended up working perfectly to remap the buttons and enable drag scrolling

That being said, I actually consider swapping it with my leftie Classic in the office, mainly because I want to replace the Model M with something more silent so I don’t feel bad typing there. That keyboard is full-sized tho so using a pointing device on the right hand doesn’t feel so good.

just name the price, @Nightingalle, and i’ll find people to crowd-fund it: @PeterCxy, @lain & @sun

@kaia, needn’t she only to show up at the bank with her ID? Never in my life I remembered any information about my bank accounts other than their closest branch.

Occam’s razor usually helps with probability problems, @redstarfish, e.g. in this case it’s intuitively 1 - 6!/6⁶

@teidesu, also the CET EET WET bullshits used by ropians

fortunately, @xarvos and @icedquinn, at the 7th refill tea practically tastes like water :blobfoxwater:

@blacklight, don’t most registrars meet those requirements? I wouldn’t recommend those I’m using though because their web UIs are behind clown flare. Recently I found out about NearlyFreeSpeech.net which isn’t (but it’s not worth moving because I’m already running my own DNS anyway).

PSA: Christmas-themed (ironically) Easter eggs can be naturally revealed today. Here are some that I know:

• Hedgewars
• mpv
• SuperTux 2
• SuperTuxKart

This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it. I’d prefer to only be informed of those for libre software, but who am I to tell you what to (not) do?

@hj, @peertube recently publish a stress test article concluding $20/mo should be sufficient for a regular instance. Where does this not apply? Cc: @duponin

@SuperDicq, up in the thread there are kiwiirc.com and thelounge.chat, but I want to highlight the IRCv3 trio by @emersion: soju the bouncer, gamja the web UI and goguma the Android client. Personally I’m happy with senpai the TUI with self-hosted soju. Cc: @mcc

@SuperDicq, it was in that same room when the history was still public, something along the line of a rant on purists. I wouldn’t expect that to help his public image among FLOSS developers and activists though. I mean the guy is entitled to his opinion, I just used to hope that he could be a leading/convincing figure on right to repair on both hardware and software sides 🥶

Unfortunately, no, @SuperDicq, it seems that there was a permission change when/after I typed my response. IIRC Louis Rossmann said he will post a video this week about the matter but I can see your last few messages and suppose thou are clear of his stance.

Meh @SuperDicq, he’s aware of this thread (edit: ugh now the log is gone, not sure if tis glitch in the matrix.org or twas a permission change) and his takeaway was that twas low key slander instead of people voicing he’d been repeatedly wrong :ym_sigh: Dude shits on the movement that practically power the interwebs and still refuses to understand why people are angry :neocat_facepalm:

Yea @SuperDicq, he did the same false advertisement for the FUTO S2T app and when I asked about it on Matrix he dodged the open-washing issue multiple times and instead directing attention to the license was temporary and they’re planning to improve it. Ugh twas really frustrating and as if he couldn’t comprehend he’s doing exactly what the New York governor did to his right to repair bill.

wot wei round, @lanodan, murderers begging women to beautify @nyx?
