It won't open in Brave on Linux either.

There is no S.

Continuing the analogy WAV = BMP

I got myself free API access to openweathermap.org and added it to Home Assistant. You can create some nice dashboard items from the data from it.

The simple answer would be just to click "instances" at the bottom of any lemmy page to view the list of other instances the one you're on is federated with. Most instances have both a linked list and blocked list on that page.

I wonder if it can be cheaper and better at scale than iron-air batteries. Those seem inexpensive to make, and can carry a large enough capacity if you put a whole lot of them in parallel with each other, and have a long lifetime. They're just really heavy for their amount of energy density and fairly low current per cell, but that shouldn't be a problem when building enough to be grid-scale.

Old me would've been all about such a nice upgrade, but now that I've been upgraded to 1G/1G Google Fiber in the first place earlier this year, I'm just happy to have that.

Even with more equipment besides that which they provide upgraded, it would be hard to notice a difference most of the time and wouldn't be worth the extra $55 a month. It is nice knowing it's an option in case I outgrow 1 Gbps. My current fileserver when I do a zfs send command piped into xz with -9 compression to send to backblaze b2, is still a little slower than 300 Mbps.

I don't remember what happened to Scotty after the TNG episode where they found him preserved in a transporter buffer on a ship left on the outside of a dyson sphere.

O'Brien when this episode concluded: "Back into the transporter buffer you go, Mr. Scott!"

I learned that lesson as a 12 year old in the early 90's on an original IBM PC 5150 with a 5151 monochrome monitor, fucking with TSR's in DOS 3.1. It must've made the graphics card change timing modes and the monitor immediately blew a fuse. My dad then soldered in a fuseholder so the fuse in the monitor can be replaces as needed.

Out of fear of doing further damage, I did stay away from the particular TSRs that had any relation to changing video timing modes and it didn't happen again.

Apologies for necro'ing an old thread but - the above link has gone 404. What was the solution? I'm trying to do the same thing and am not sure how to get it to authenticate with my SMTP server.
