Can anyone reccomend a simple screen recorder for Linux Mint?
Just tried Kazam and it didn't work.

Any opinions on mirotalk? It seems to work the way jitsi used to, where you can just create a room on the fly by making up a url... e.g.

The nice feature for me that I want to try out is simultaneous bidirectional sharing of both screen and video. I work with #engineers and it is often best to be able to share your own example while also watching your colleagues screen to monitor their progress in trying it themselves. (For example.)

Microsoft Teams can't.

dear #lazyweb by mistake i agreed/accepted the tahoe update (dark pattern 🤬) and now am stuck in this conundrum. is there a way to un-accept it and/or make sure i do not install it?

#lazyweb #nerd Does there exist any IP-connected camera that can operate entirely wirelessly (WiFi for comms, battery power, preferably solar-charged) AND transmit continuous video with a frame rate of 1Hz or better?

Every battery-powered option I've spotted so far refuses live transmission or even continuous local recording, only motion-triggered snippets.

I have done some research but I keep finding mixed reviews on SyncThing — particularly regarding my second use case below. I would appreciate advice before I dedicate time this weekend to set it up.

Use cases:
(0) keep 2-way synchronization for my pictures, notes, & short voice recordings in QuillPad¹ on Android with my laptop.

(1) synchronize of photos & videos from my spouse's & my Android devices and our laptops (e.g., what most ppl do with, say, Google Drive).

Hello fellow #laserdisk and/or #electronics nerds. I bought a #pioneer CLD-2700 today for scrap pricing. It does not turn on, at all. No standby light, no nothing.

I found a suspiciously rusty looking screw in the psu area that looks suspiciously like electrolyte damage?

Can someone with a bit more experience than me weigh in? I'm pretty comfortable with soldering and such but I'm really not good with analogue electronics or power supplies.

Thanks!

I’ve never bought a rice cooker, but I’m interested in getting one. Folks who have rice cookers: what’s a good brand? What are things to look for when shopping for one?

I wonder if anyone I know could recommend a reliable, open source tool for posting either from an RSS feed or some other automated fashion to Mastodon, Bluesky, and any other relevant social networks...

Basically, a Hootsuite or something but open source and *preferably* not a project that has jumped on the AI bandwagon.

Please boost for reach if you would. Thanks!

What was the last #Apple device that had an IR port? https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/src/commit/?id=a85c4ab626ef52530400ace1957daaa35dd07534

#lazyweb "bash: no job control in this shell"

I just saw this error message in a forum post. How is this even possible? I thought job control was the shell's responsibility. How can it abdicate that responsibility?

(Yes, I still don't understand job control.)

#lazyweb I'm trying to extract a best guess of a date from a CHANGELOG in CI. I think set -e is active.

Anyone have any suggestions to make this pipeline less shit, particularly the command grouping?

DATE=$({ fgrep -m1 '## [${{ forgejo.ref_name }}' CHANGELOG.md || true; } | { grep -o [0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9] || true; })

let's say, not entirely hypothetically, that we have a ResEdit TMPL. We want to convert it to an MPW Rez types file, so we can DeRez resources instead of mess with the GUI editor. Anyone got a tool handy for this?

#LazyWeb question: Looking at the #Meshtastic world map[1], it seems Iran's internet/comms shutdown[2] is also including #LoRa bands, but it's hard to find conclusive information about it, though I would assume that if a govt/regime is cutting off comms, it's doing so comprehensively... Of course, there's the (unlikely) possibility for there to be zero nodes in the country to begin with... Anyone knows more?

This insight seems quite important to understand (not just for Iran) and how it potentially re-frames (or constrains) the "networking without internet" to purely non-conflict situations (e.g. being physically out of range of other networks, rather than caused by active suppression)

#lazyweb Is it correct to say that the 68000 and 68008 only have atomic load/stores of 16-bit and 8-bits respectively*?

* Unlike most CPUs, an interrupt will pause the current instruction and continue from where it left off. But I haven't read the patent or RE'd microcode. So not clear to me if 68000 will wait to honor an interrupt until after an up-to-32-bit load/store completes.

Anybody know how to force LibreOffice to default to exporting PNG instead of WebP?

Specifically, I use Impress as a way to make quick and lazy graphics and then export to PNG. But for some damn reason it always defaults to WebP, which I do not want and have been unable to find the toggle to make it not do that.

It does not, as one might hope, remember the last setting used. Nope. Always WebP.

(Also, why of all formats would it be set to export to WebP and not JPEG or PNG?)

#lazyweb I'm sorry if this is a stupid q, but... if you do a _single_ sendto call, you can send a single UDP packet of up to 65535-minus-some-change, and IP frag/reassembly will ensure you either receive it in order, or not at all?

I.e. it's only with multiple sendto calls that you start having problems with UDP packets being received out of order?

(And if you do a single sendto call, the larger the packet, the more likely it'll be dropped due to reassembly timeout?)
