Fediverse audiophiles I need your help!

Even if you are not, please boost so more people can see this ❤️

In short, I need a couple of loudspeakers.
Context: since I have so many vinyls and CDs at home I decided to build a simple hi-fi system just for them (like if it was the 2000s 🙃)
I’ve found a second hand Denon avr1708 and a CD player, and I already had a ~10 years old record player. Now I just need a couple of loudspeakers but I literally have 0 idea how to choose one. I just read some infos about ohms and watts but that’s all. I’m also not much an audio expert so I don’t know which kind of “sound” should I be looking for in a speaker.

If you could suggest some specific speaker I would appreciate it, but since I’d prefer to find something second hand I’d rather like tips about what to look in a speaker, also some dos and donts when buying them second hand

Looks like this Mastodon instance is having lots of issues right now. Anyone else having problems with image loading?

Hey ,

How much time is ok to wait after an account is moved from server A to server B, to bring down server A?

My old instance is abandoned, just forwarding any request to my new instance for the last 2 months, and I want to bring the first down finally.

Thank you for the answers 😊

Oh, hey, I was wondering, are there any fedi instances where one can create an account to practice another language than the one in which they're fluent? I don't want to bother a foreign language server, but would love to practice with folks who wouldn't be bothered by it. I've seen folks asking similar questions before but never seen the answer.

Looking for an EU producer of custom enamel pins, min. order 50 pcs or less.

Here I found one, 250 pcs min. order, at 2.80 €+VAT each: too expensive for my "target".

DM for suggestions, thanks!

OK I'm obviously doing something wrong so some in would help here. Say I have an automaton whose cells can be in any of three states S1, S2, S3 with probability p1, p2, p3 (p1+p2+p3=1). The probability of a cell c changing from S1 to S2 depends on the neighbors being in state S2. c stays in state S1 if it's not “infected” by any of the neighbors. Say p12(c, n) is the probability of c moving from S1 to S2 if n is S2. What's the total probability of c staying in S1?

1/n

@giuseppebilotta@fediscience.org avatar

Different approach I'm considering: the probability of c being infected by n is k12(c, n) = p1(c)*p2(n)p12(c, n). So the probability of staying S1 is the complement from all neighbors \prod_n(1 - k12(c, n)), but that can't be, as it can be higher than p1(c). Should it be p1(c)\prod_n(1 - k12(c, n))? But then am I not account for p1(c) too many times? I'm obviously missing something, and being out of my element don't even know where to look things up.

Seems to be a Red Frangipani / Plumeria rubra.

Scheint eine Rote Frangipani zu sein.

Kann irgendjemand erkennen, was das für ein Baum ist, und mir den Namen verraten? Blühte im März in merkbarer Anzahl in Kapstadt. (Nicht diesen März, ist schon etwas her...)

Ich hab in einem Gespräch gemerkt, wie verwirrend manche Begriffe des Fediverse für einige Menschen sind und hab mal versucht, einfach runterzubrechen, was Plattformen, Instanzen und Server sind.

Vielleicht hilft es? Dann gern weiterschicken an Leute, die vielleicht auch verwirrt sind.

New in the network and it seems to be empty? Try these steps.

(Note: I'm using as an example.)

  1. Create three lists: "CUR: All", "CUR: Flipboard", "CUR: Newsmast".

(CUR = CURated / CURation)

  1. Search for "Flipboard" and "Newsmast" (Flipboard accounts share the same icon, Newsmast accounts share the same icon as well.)

  2. Follow the accounts you're interested in. (It's by topic.)

  3. Add each of those accounts to your "CUR: All" list. And to its respective platform list: "CUR: Flipboard" or "CUR: Newsmast".

  4. Switch your "Home" view to "CUR: All", "CUR: Flipboard", or "CUR: Newsmast".

Another way of doing it is by topic:

  • CUR: Nature
  • CUR: Current Events
  • CUR: Programming

Or, by region:

  • CUR: Local
  • CUR: Asia-Pacific
  • CUR: Africa

Adjust it to your needs.


In the Mastodon family, you can set the list to not show up in your "Home" timeline. This way, you can still see the posts from other people you follow without it being filled with curated content boosts.

Benefits of following curation accounts:

  1. You don't have to follow every single account.

> Usually, accounts share other topics which you probably are not interested in. Curated lists filter these topics for you.

  1. You will discover content and people to follow.

> Both Flipboard and Newsmast boosts/reshares the original post. You see the original source/account and interact with them directly.

> You can then choose who you want to follow directly so you can see more of their content and interests, and build a friendly relationship with them.


It becomes possible to only follow 10 accounts ever, yet consume hundreds of content and information.

This way, you can avoid following hundreds of accounts which will only make your "Home" timeline confusing; and more likely, you'll miss what matters most for you because of so many posts from so many accounts.

I hope it helps you! Welcome to the Fediverse !

P.s. If you're using an awesome Fediverse software or platform besides Mastodon, the steps are similar, if not exactly the same.

Słuchajcie, może nie jest to do końca sprawa na , ale z drugiej strony nie mam gdzie indziej się zapytać.

Otóż. Mam bloga na wordpressie (w witrynie wordpress, nie na silniku). A wyciekł nius, że właściciel tumblra i wordpressa chce sprzedać swoją bazę OpenAI do trenowania AI-ów.

W związku z tym pytam: czy jeśli skasuję teraz bloga i gdzieś go przeniosę, to to coś w ogóle zmieni? W sensie, czy uchroni to moje teksty przed byciem pożywką dla AI? I jak się do tego zabrać, żeby nie umrzeć od natłoku dodatkowej pracy? Jakie hostingi blogowe polecacie? Pls, help, bo czuję się bardzo bezradna w tej sprawie 😥

I got a no-name thermal-print toy camera (named "Q5"), with no obvious tech specs to look for. Anybody got one and opened the case or reverse-engineered the app?

It has "wireless printing", where it shows a QR code pointing to https://www.pgyer.com/UNhf - with bloated YinTiBao apps for Android and iOS. It does not have WiFi, but appears as a device named "BQ05".

On USB it provides storage or UVC:

Fediverse question:

I'm not seeing "Share On" icons on news articles and such for Mastodon/Fedi, except very very rarely. Is this because of the limitless variations in server configuration? Is it not necessary because copying a link is just as easy? Or is it because the Fedi didn't start getting the little attention it's received lately, until only lately and still remains relatively obscure for most folks?

Hey folks, I'm looking for an example of an HTML “Style guide" page for a website. I've seen some blogs that sport this in the past but can't for the life of me find one again or Google for it. It's basically just a simple page on a site that has examples of all (or most) HTML elements and how they are styled for that site. I could just make one myself but would prefer to boostrap the process by getting a pre-made one to start and tweak from there. Thanks!
