i want to like this but I have to assume anyone still using pepe against the creator's wishes is a shitbag

Why is this on c/Technology? Musk isn't twitter and twitter isn't tech news.

the phrase "opt-in consent" is sickening. if its not opt-in then, legally, it shouldn't be consent at all. I hate that we have to clarify.

Think of all the weird minigames that were only ever released on mobile; its Flash Games all over again! This is huge for emulation!

That's exactly what I thought would work, but it doesn't.

I'm using a regular off-the-shelf tape recorder, it doesnt have an electronic interface, I just press play and record manually.

I did use par2 and tar to generate redundancy, but I still need a way to locate it in the bytestream. Tar doesn't seem to reliably mark the start or end of files :/

I tried that first! But tar complains if it can't find the file header! So I still need to do some sort of packets. Unless you know some sort of workaround?

 

I'm currently trying to set up a homebrew cassette tape storage format, but trying to use existing tech where possible. I was excited to see that minimodem already exists for converting an audio stream to a byte stream, and is even available in termux for android, so I could decode cassettes with my phone! However, I'd like some sort of higher-level tool to encode and decode "packets" or "slices" so that I can add error correction. I'm sure this sort of thing must exist for amature radio purposes.

I could write a script that cuts a file into slices, with checksums and redundancy for each slice, and then pads them with null bytes so I can isolate each frame when decoding. What I want is to find out if that's already been done. I've heard of AX.25 packets but I can't find a tool that does that with stdio.

If they enable IMAP for all accounts that'd be awesome. I've been reluctant to use their mail system in case it just becomes another lock-in.

syncthing is the easy option if you have some files you always want to have on both. if you just want to access your desktop files from your phone, I recommend Cx File Explorer for Android, it's a file browser that supports various network file share protocols including Samba and SFTP.

I dont. Its honestly not great. I'd rather that effort went to preserving and repairing the existing tools of the free and open web -- the old protocols are extensible. Imagine if we had an RSS client with a "reblog" feature!

"Federation" adds overhead and honestly creates as many problems as it solves. It's not a selling point, its a price tag.

 

It's been long enough that I'm sure someone besides me has shelled out the $200 for a DS5+, since it's a bluetooth controller with a touchpad and grip paddle buttons. Is it worth it?

Edit: To clarify, I own a Dualsense, but I'm lusting after the Dualsense Edge revision.

 

I have a steam deck dock in the living room, with a dualsense and some joy-cons paired to it. Are there any games similar to Ring Fit that work well on PC/Steam? Do I need a new controller or can I use these?
