Well, that's it. I have FIVE catastrophic failures related to my home automation setup. All cards, SSDs, AND multiple backups have failed, including TWO corrupted cloud backups.

I can't get CLEAN install to work 😱

@snauth yes but now I can't even get new, clean install going :-o on multiple devices, with multiple different SD cards. I have no idea what's going on but I can't get HA to run. I've been using it for 5 years, it's not my first rodeo. I have absolutely no idea what's wrong, it's like many things failing at the same time

What's this, solar flares? The SD card in my Home Assistant Raspberry Pi suddenly died, backup died too, and now I'm unable to install it onto an another machine. WHAT

I have tried a lot of system monitor apps for Mac and I have come back to iStatMenus. Nothing else has disk I/O and a combined menubar view that can be clicked to reveal detailed info (Stats is great but the combined view isn't).

I've got 10M of PETG to try out - what can I print with it to utilise it's benefits over PLA?

stooovie,
@stooovie@mas.to avatar

@cymplecy anything that needs to withstand heat or cold, or needs more flexibility than PLA. I print door hinges for our effing Indesit freezer from PETG 😂 or a nice new duct system for your printer

This is your irregular reminder are fucking dicks:

> Adobe Tells Users They Can Get Sued for Using Old Versions of Photoshop

We need tools to get to the point where they can replace Adobe tools. Open alternatives are great, but they are sadly not there yet to replace Adobe tools for professionals.

And won't be unless projects like @inkscape get enough funding to develop to a point of being viable alternatives.

Yes, it is in no small part about the money.

@rysiek @inkscape @Krita @Blender there's nothing that can effectively replace After Effects. That one has zero real competition. Fusion/Resolve and Motion are neat but nowhere near usable for advanced mograph.

The problem with these is that sometimes the mechanism is set to HarPull and your wet hands rip the paper.

Unbelievable case of US defaultism, with some serious rose tinting and selective memory - childhood of 95 % of kids around the globe didn't look remotely close to this.

I do realize it was not the intent of the prompt BUT that's exactly my point. Shows you what the AI is trained on and what biases are in play when shaping our world view.

@tomthistle yes, about the various Natives. It was a great article, a perfect illustration of my point.

Bluesky is going to skyrocket to mainstream popularity and actually replace Twitter, and Mastodon cannot, because Bluesky is being designed to be simple, fun, and — most importantly — easy to understand.

@thoralf @gruber agree, but what this means is segregation: us nerds on Mastodon, everyone else on either BS or Twitter. Not good.

@gruber @thoralf I don't know really, I personally don't think internet needs more nerd havens (I'm a nerd myself!)

So I’m about to edit my first narrative short film in a looooong time. Also acting as my own AE so, yeah. We’ll be using FCPX.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I’ve cut countless commercial spots over the years but been a while since trying something like this.

3 cameras (Alexa Mini, Sony FX3, and a RED Komodo) though the Alexa is out A Cam. Also will have some VFX work.

Hopefully jam sync timecode 🤞🏻

Excited, but nervous 😉

@adamschoales if your audio files are name SHOT#-TAKE#.ext or something, use that as the first part of the synced clip/multicam clip name (you can set this up in Sync&Link which is unbeatable for dual system and multicam sync). That way you can very quickly filter/find your shots. I also set up smart collections filtered by text (usually, one Smart Collection per scene).

@adamschoales I also like to Reject the parts before slate (or, Action!) so all I see is clean takes

Do you remember the endless wait for Portishead's third album that took so long it was thought to be vaporware?

It came out fifteen years ago.

Oh boy, I've reached a point where I don't know how to do simple things with my devices.

How do I install an app into my daughter's age-restricted iPad? I have absolutely no idea. It doesn't let me, and it doesn't ask me for "administrator" login.

I have ultimately used Apple Configurator but SURELY that's not the intended way, is it?

stooovie,
@stooovie@mas.to avatar

OK so no, it doesn't work :) Apple Configurator says the app is installed, but it's not actually available on the device 😂

stooovie,
@stooovie@mas.to avatar

Apparently using an app that I bought from my Apple ID on my kid's device is impossible. As soon as Screen Time is enabled, the app disappears. I haven't found a way to use it.

Came up twice today, but folks seem to have the impression that food geeks are picky and impossible to please. My experience is exactly the opposite. We love ALL KINDS of foods, so you can take us pretty much anywhere. We'll always find something we like. It's non-food folks who will only be happy eating a few things. I'm the pro critic, and I'm the easiest in my family to please. My list of favorites in Phoenix (yes, I keep a list) includes 204 restaurants. Not hard to find something I like.

stooovie,
@stooovie@mas.to avatar

@darmato same with movie critics. The good ones love all kinds of different movies, "good" AND "bad"

It turns out you can simply serve a file from a domain to use it as your bsky handle.

I have put off updating my old home Synology DS216j to DSM7 and finally caved in but holy shit it really IS faster. This is very rare but it does happen - I remember back in 2015 my 5k iMac was total trash with jerky GUI all over the place and High Sierra fixed all that. And my gaming PC ran much smoother with Win 10 than with 7.
