Nobody likes a sucker, especially the kind that fall for fruit tarts like you. I knew there was trouble. I could smell it on the hot evening breeze. Fortunately for me, trouble is my favorite thing… Because I’m Joe Milkshake. I kicked down the door with one swift, decisive motion.

  • Is pixel 4a too old for a new phone?
  • The software updates are maybe not an argument when it comes to degoogling? Then it depends if the OS they plan to use still sends updates.

  • Eating a Rainbow Potion should taste fabulous not delicious because that's more fun (not a request, just thought it was funny).
  • Oh boy, a positive opinion on the rainbow potion. Let's see how this plays out.

  • Finally solved the battery drain issue in Firefox Android!!
  • I've been using Mull for a long time and had no issues. Recently installed Iceraven, phone got quite hot already after minutes of using it, battery drained fast. Not sure that is this but it sounds like.

  • The Acolyte discussion and review megathread
  • Yes, absolutely agree on the Cortosis thing. I did not know about that and kept thinking were lightsabers really that unreliable in history? It was just heavily overused for something that had no introduction at all.

    Calling it, Sol is a Sith. He was Qimirs master, then Qimir somehow left (yes: somehow, Qimir left!) and Sol has been trying to convert another Padawan to his cause ever since. Osha didn't work out, so now its Jecki. Well, it was.

    That's why Sol is familiar with Qimirs presence. It's also why he asks Qimir "why risk discovery" because he is a Sith in hiding. It is also why he tried to attack Qimir when he had his back turned on him.

    It is the secret he wanted to talk to Osha about.

    I know, bit farfetched. But something's fishy with Master Sol.

  • Time to move
  • The hilarious thing is, in the movie that very same guy got run over and then he sued for a ton of money which allowed him to retire. The American dream!

  • Looks like something straight from Warhammer 40K
  • Yeah, that one is definitely a sight to see, if you can stand looking at dead people's bones.

  • Those with a side/second job in this economy, what is it that you do and how did you get into it?
  • You are blaming the customers for "thinking you deserve less pay" when the actual person not paying you enough is the bar owner. Sorry for kicking up yet another fruitless discussion about tipping in the US, but these kind of mental gymnastics just trigger me.

  • I don't know if it is worth the effort to brick 3 devices out in the wild.

  • Two different lives in Russia
  • You're probably joking but since my internet sarcasm detector blew up I still feel obliged to tell you, its probably rather about the foreground versus background.

  • Parent/Child Height Relationships - Regression toward the Mean
  • Oh, completely missed that, thanks!

  • Parent/Child Height Relationships - Regression toward the Mean
  • I might miss the point, but the height is dependent on both parents genetically, so just comparing mothers with daughters is a bit like the usual "correlation does not equal causation" thingie, or not?

  • Money, please!
  • The problem is they base that number on the already massively inflated profits they made before going open access. The only reason they have to go open access is if they are not making a deficit in profit.

    Funny enough, they are still double dipping in most cases because you still have to pay the subscription to access all the non-open access papers.

  • Alternative to RaspiCheck

    I have a small self hosted setup at home with a RaspberryPi and an external HDD, just enough for what I need.

    Some time ago I found a pretty sweet app which from the name implies its mostly working when you use a RPI OS, to monitor the RPI from your android phone: https://github.com/eidottermihi/rpicheck

    Its called RaspiCheck (picture in the post is the one from github), and unfortunately it is seriously outdated and development ceased. It is still working on my current phone but I am well aware that's not going to last.

    So I am wondering what else is out there that could fill the gap it would leave.

    I am using it for 2 things mostly:

    1. monitor system stats, like simply seeing the system is running (I know, like ping), but at the same time also showing memory, average load, temperature and so on.
    2. sending SSH commands, and this is where the app really shines. Using a terminal on the phone is not impossible, but boy is it annoying. In RaspiCheck you can define commands, with placeholders, which allows you to send those to the RPI just by tapping them. So for example I got my backup set up that I can mount the backup drive with one tap, a second tap runs the right backup script (I have several I can choose from by filling the placeholder I leave in that command) and then unmount with a third tap.

    I got other commands I like to reuse a lot set up in it and its really useful to me, let's me manage the RPI from my phone in an easy way.

    So back to the question at hand, is there anything else like this out there for Android? If possible one app, FOSS preferred. I am pretty sure there are browser-based solutions, if there is no dedicated app other than this, then I guess that's the next best thing. What are you using in your setup that you can recommend?

    Dual boot Fedora Kinoite and Windows 10

    I have been planning to install Kinoite on my laptop, dual booting with Windows.

    However depending on what I read online, it is either not possible, not recommended, tricky to setup or it is just a matter of setting partitions up before installing Kinoite. Broad range of opinions and no good "tutorial" how to do it.

    Anyone having direct experience with that?

    Amazing attitude

    Let's work from home when the kids are sick, thank you great company that I am allowed to slave away for you while taking care of my sick kid! It isn't even a US company it seems.

    Edit: guess I should have posted to unpopularopinions instead!

    I just wanted to add I cut off the photo of the person on purpose. She is posting that with her sick child in her lap and that photo has been taken by some other person, not a selfie. If you are not feeling that the content of the post is bad, you hopefully still agree that presenting your sick child in an almost professionally looking photo to the world for LinkedIn clout is not great.

    Rewatching AT: Come Along With Me

    Finally made it through after starting long time ago (like... a year back). Was just watching a few episodes at a time when I felt like it and it was my first rewatch since it finished airing.

    Can say it really held up well! Definitely rewatchable more than once! Lots of details I forgot about, like the whole deal between Finn and Huntress Wizard. Still think he should have gotten together with Canyon, Billy's ex, they had a good vibe.

    Rewatching AT: always BMO closing

    Love this episode, especially that while being super silly it actually leads into the main story of the final season. Best quote "These baby-smashing hammers are great!"

    Rewatching AT: loved this scene in "Mama said"

    I will always be sad that Canyon and Finn never got together. They seem to fit so well on a spiritual level.

    Rewatching AT: Jermaine, another whacky season 6 episode

    Just loved that Jake chose the biggest sword he could find. I think it is one of the swords in Final Fantasy. This scene has my favourite quote of the episode, when Jake notes about the sword "Why is it so dense?".

    Researchgate cut a deal with MDPI for "enhanced brand visibility"

    cen.acs.org Is the academic social networking site ResearchGate still relevant?

    A recent deal with the publisher MDPI is leading some users to delete their accounts

    Is the academic social networking site ResearchGate still relevant?

    Not sure this fits in the community but I felt it is an important topic that needs visibility. Researchgate made a deal with MDPI to prefer some of their journals on the site over other publications or journals. It will likely be impossible to know if suggestions you see in the future are genuine or paid for by this deal.

    MDPI made a post on their site about this https://www.mdpi.com/about/announcements/7051

    I could not find an announcement on the Researchgate site so far. Possible enshittification of Researchgate up ahead?

    Rewatching AT: Gold Stars, that scene when the lich breaks through

    I remember when the Orgalorg episode came out people who rewatched it thought it is Orgalorg in the bottom right.

    Rewatching AT: love this shot in Evergreen

    Another fantastic lore episode, I forgot how good season 6 of AT is. Check out the toaster on the shelf in Evergreen's study.

    Weird episode, amazing title card!

    This sub is pretty dead since Fionna & Cake finished, so lets try and reanimate. Have been rewatching the original series for a while now, slowly and finally reach the really good seasons.

    However those include the weird ones like Food Chain. I totally forgot about that one. Super beautiful title card but the storyline is just bonkers. Not sure I would have rewatched it if I had remembered it better.

    Whats your pick of the weirdest episodes?

    Unpopular opinion: I was more excited to find crystal keys when they only opened crystal chests

    Just something to rant about, obviously ShatteredPD is great and I still enjoy playing it after so many years...

    ...however! The one addition I don't like is to use the crystal keys for so many more goodies than just the two chests rooms.

    It used to be when you found a crystal key, you would immediately know there are two chests waiting for you, maybe even the crystal chest mimic. I was always excited to find those keys because it meant I would get a new hopefully useful item.

    These days however, its just one of many possibilities and once you find that second or third key, you know its not the chest. I don't dislike adding all these other options, but I like them all less than the original chests. Could there not be another key type to use for those? Like the golden ones, if it has to be an existing type. Or make the original crystal keys into something else, skull key or dragon keys or whatever. Rat king keys maybe. Please?
