Any enthusiasts around here? What do y'all think about the GMKtek K8? It seems to be pretty beefy compared to other NUCs. And has two Ethernet ports??

I'm not a gamer and if anything, rather love to work with old computers. However, expecting to receive a modest windfall soon, I'm thinking about treating myself to something nice for a change.

My first concern with this thing was cooling - lots of beefy hardware in a tiny (and fanless?) case. What else should I look out for?

Simplified marketing specsheet of the GMKTEK K8. It has DDR5 RAM, NVMe PCIe4.0 SSD.

We've been finding some fascinating artifacts while digging in some very deep clay to install a new drainage system around our house. Yesterday's finds include this etched metal medallion. Can anyone help us figure out what it is?

For background, the house is 80 years old and was built on the site of a Union army bivouac. It's got some cool US history.



reverse side of the medallion. there is writing etched into it that we have been told is likely Taoist-era Chinese but are otherwise clueless. there's a thin metal wire across the back, like you'd find on the back of a pin.

Not sure if this will reach out to anyone who can answer, but I've been learning a bit about the protocol, and it claims to be better against censorship and muuuch simpler that . However, what are the downsides of Nostr, compared to APub? Less censorship = more bots? Simpler protocol = lacking good built-in defences against unknow threats, or something like that?

Mmh, j'ai forké un projet y a des années que j'ai jamais republié, je viens de finir ce qu'il y manquait pour le rendre public.

Je me demandais, la licence d'origine est MIT, on m'a conseillé AGPLV3. Est ce que je peux redistribuer sous AGPLv3 (a priori oui) et surtout est ce que je dois ajouter qqc (de plus que le lien vers le projet d'origine) pour indiquer la licence d'origine ou ce changement ?

Is there a course/website/book/etc. that would focus on teaching CSS how it can be used today?

I learned webdev back when we positioned elements with float and IE6 compatibility was a concern. I know fundamentals. I picked some new things along the way. But I wonder how you would work when you don't shoehorn new things into outdated models I grew up with.

It all started with a single thought, a moment of doubt in which, for the first time in her life, she questioned what she had been told about the matter.

And it grew from there. She asked more questions. She read books. She talked to others about her doubts -- most dismissed her, or even acted offended that she didn't just believe.

But she kept going. And growing.

Some of you want challenges, so let's do an #OverratedUnderrated

What's an overrated/overdone discourse about a fictional work and what's an underrated/underexamined one?

(for an example, I mean like "Batman is a rich person who beats up poor people" or "Lara Croft is actually a villain" or etc...)

Using Python 3.11 or higher, I want to create an output file and add a line describing it to a log file as an atomic operation: either the output file is created and the log entry is added, or neither happens. fcntl.flock() is only advisory - will something else give me stronger guarantees, preferably on all three major OSes? -lock -operation

Hallo zusammen und einen schönen Sonntag.
Vergebt mir, falls ich das schon einmal gefragt haben sollte ... ich find nix wieder 😀.

  • Warum kann man eigentlich nicht an #Umfrage n teilnehmen? Ist das ein fehlendes Feature oder klappt da eine Kommunikation mit Mastodon nicht?

#Mastodon nutzt "Question" als Objekt... siehe:

Mit #Mammuthus habe ich das soweit kompatibel umgesetzt, vgl. z.B. @tagesfrage

Is the woman dressed for grief in the context of the time and culture of the painting? In other words… is the 19th century cryptobro knowingly chatting up a woman who just lost a parent, sibling or partner?

My old instance/server is shutting down and when I requested my Archieve I see that it does not include my past posts and they didn't migrate over to my new home.

Is there any way to get an archive of my past?

Where are custom keyboard command sets stored? I deleted FCP as I the SFX folder isn't anywhere on my Mac, but forgot to export my command set before deleting the app. Luckily I have a time machine backup, so if I would know where the command sets are stored I could find them! 😅 #FinalCutPro #macOS #FCP #VideoEditing #TechHelp #Question

Having established that dandelion seed heads are definitely NOT known as DANDELION CLOCKS by everyone I have a follow on question...

What DO you know them as?

Chatting to people already I have had FLUFFS (Lithuania) and WINDY PUFFS (Canada) both of which are SUPERB.

Are there any others? Will there be enough to make a World Map of Dandelion Names?! 😃

Places, names & any other trivia welcome!

@keepassxc Are there any issues with your Patreon account? My yearly support package is not working anymore and the money has been charged back. All tries to recover it failed and it does not seem to be a Patreon issue. It more seems like the support packages of the KeePassXC project have been removed completely. 😅

Does this have to do with this recent post? https://fosstodon.org/@keepassxc/112417353193348720
