I used to be on kbin as e0qdk@kbin.social before it broke down.

  • I recently managed to get a physical copy of Evangelion. Most of the discs work, so I'm watching through the series now for the first time. The only disc that didn't work when I tested them is the one that has something called "Evangelion:Death(True)2" and the End of Evangelion movie plus some bonus content -- this is an AACS issue rather than physical damage so there's hope that I can watch it eventually, just... not now.

    I was told that the ending theme has been changed. The copy I have has an instrumental piano piece instead of the various "Fly Me To The Moon" versions on animethemes. It's not clear to me what the title of the ending piece on my copy is, and the version on my discs isn't listed there.

    I was expecting some weird stuff from this show, naturally -- the later parts of it are infamous for that, even though I don't know exactly what I'll encounter yet -- but, even still, the casual presence of the penguin was a surprise.

  • Black olive and mushroom? Enjoy!

  • Should be trivial to set up something like that if you've got parts you want to work with. Any desktop with an automatic background switcher should be able to cycle through images in a directory you specify on a timer. Set up your favorite remote access software (SSH, Samba, NFS ...) and you're done. If you want more control over the behavior, you could script up something custom with a little more effort -- but it's still not particularly hard to implement something like that.

    Watch out for burn in on the screen if you're leaving it on all the time.

  • The snap came back

    It wouldn't stay away

    It was on my desktop

    The very next day 🎵️

  • I hope this gets a GOG release too like III, IV, VIII, and IX just did.

  • As others have mentioned, the :has() approach is cleaner, but if you need to get this to work on older browsers (i.e. that don't support Baseline 2023 yet), you can use the ~ approach by moving the checkbox up to the top of body and putting all the body content into a div that follows it.

    Basically, something like:

     
            <body>
            <input style="display:none" type="checkbox" id="hidden-checkbox"></input>
            <div id="main-content">
                <label for="hidden-checkbox">
                   ...
    
    
      

    That way you can use #hidden-checkbox:checked ~ #main-content (followed by additional selectors) to modify children of #main-content only if the checkbox is checked.

    Note that you still need a tiny bit of JS to make the choice persistent between page loads even with CSS checkbox toggle tricks.

  • Are you trying to write your own parsers for these formats or something like that? I don't think I really get the issue you're running into.

    If you want to just display formatted text (esp. including HTML), you can use a browser (either as an embedded widget in a custom app, via an Electron app, or in a regular browser via an HTTP server) and generate the output on the fly. You don't need to save the converted output if it's fast enough to generate...

  • the contents of these tickets need to be encrypted at rest

    If that's the actual requirement -- i.e encrypted at rest -- then store the database on an encrypted volume instead of encrypting the messages themselves inside the DB. It will likely be more performant, and much, much easier to both implement and maintain while still providing good security.

  • Instances go down a lot -- often permanently. e.g. kbin.social, lemm.ee, etc.

    When an instance goes down, it takes out all the user accounts and communities on it, and it's hit or miss if you can find copies of the posts on other instances.

  • "Colder than a witch's tits!", as some of my relatives are fond of saying.

  • Yeah; I think so. When I got this file originally, I think it was from here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Neptune_Voyager2_color_calibrated.png

    which says:

    Neptune on 1989-08-17, taken by NASA's Voyager 2 probe. This color image was composed of three frames, orange, green, and blue, taken by Voyager 2's imaging system. This color image has been calibrated to best represent Neptune's true color and appearance. Based on: (in English) Irwin, Patrick G J (2023-12-23). "Modelling the seasonal cycle of Uranus’s colour and magnitude, and comparison with Neptune". Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 527 (4): 11521–11538. DOI:10.1093/mnras/stad3761. ISSN 0035-8711

    It looks like I re-compressed the version I posted with webp to reduce the file size for quicker viewing on lemmy -- so the colors in that are a little off from the PNG on Wikipedia, but are still closer than the classic enhanced color image.

  • I think links opened from outside firefox will open in whatever the active tab group is currently set to. You could also play around with the pattern matching if there are sites you always want to catch in a specific group/container, but like I said I don't use that feature personally.

    I usually just use a single firefox window for most of my browsing tasks and switch groups inside it as needed. Groups are persistent between sessions, and I usually keep a few groups around for different projects as I work on them -- you could try setting up a group for each class you're taking and switch between them quickly with the menu (or set up hotkeys, if you prefer).

    You can open two windows and change groups in the second window independently, but I don't have much experience with running things like that, so not sure what quirks you'll run into.

  • darkblue

    It's also light blue; pictures of it were just always published with exaggerated colors for a long time. It's actually more like this if you do better color calibration, apparently:

  • For whatever reason, new/blank tabs don't show up as attached to a container, but once you actually load something in it, it should be bound to the container if you set that option I mentioned.

    I can try to post some screenshots later if you're still having trouble.

  • I mostly use Ctrl-T, but the new tab button also works. I set a specific container in the "Always open tabs in container" section of each group's settings under "Manage Groups" in STG and after I load something in a new tab, it binds to the container I specified automatically. It's pretty easy to set it up that way and, to me, at least, feels natural.

    There are some other options there too if you want to do things like always load particular sites in particular groups based on a pattern, but I don't use them personally.

  • The way I use Simple Tab Groups, I have a bunch of different groups and when a particular group is open, any new tab opened in that group is automatically in the container I associated with the group. e.g. I made a "fun" group, and all tabs are automatically opened in the personal container; in my "shopping" group all the tabs are opened in the shopping container -- if I tried to visit lemmy in the shopping container I would see it from a logged out perspective, but I could also log into a different lemmy account (if I had one) and switch back and forth between them just by changing the group.

    Only tabs from the specific group are shown while I have that group selected in STG. (The rest are hidden.) I can quickly switch back and forth between different contexts that way and often do so dozens of times a day.

    I usually use just one window for Firefox though and change the group to switch context within in. Testing quickly, if I open two windows, it looks like I can tell STG to switch to a different group in the other window, but since I don't use it like that regularly, there may be gotchas I'm not aware of.

    You might run into some issues if you're using Firefox's newer built-in tab grouping feature though; the extension is older than that feature and doesn't really work particularly well with it. I have it disabled and just use STG for grouping. I think I did that by setting browser.tabs.groups.enabled to false in about:config? It's been a while though.

  • Containers seem designed more for isolating cookies between two different sites, rather than hiding instances of sites from themselves. Like the original version was a "facebook container", which would hide the facebook cookies from other sites, but I don't want that. I want to be able to log into multiple facebook accounts (hypothetically, I don't actually have a single facebook account but you get the idea).

    Containers work fine for isolating two logged in sessions of the same site; I do that all the time. I suggest trying the Simple Tab Groups extension for a better UI though.

  • where you can magnify your desktop almost down to the pixel with just 'alt + mouse wheel.'

    You can do that in Cinnamon as well (via the Accessibility settings); the key configuration is just limited to Alt/Super/Ctrl/Shift for some reason.

  • Demons Roots is probably the best RPG Maker game I've played that was actually playable as an RPG. (So, not counting things like To The Moon which other people have already mentioned.)

    I wasn't a fan of most of the sexual content in Demons Roots, but taking the whole thing as basically a giant love letter to fucked up doujinshi stories -- i.e. to unpolished indie writing with wild genre bending plot twists in addition to the hentai stuff -- I can accept it for what it is. The game has that RPGMaker wabi-sabi; it's not especially well-crafted software... but the combat was OK (unlike a lot of indie RPGs), the music was good -- a mix of original and mostly well chosen asset packs (I still listen to some of it occasionally!), and, without getting into spoilers, it did a couple of very memorable things...

  • By "legacy" they probably mean that they work with the older process technologies, not that the fab itself is old:

    The acquisition includes an existing 300 mm fab cleanroom of 300,000 square feet and will further position Micron to address growing global demand for memory solutions

    In its May 2024 ’Hooray, we’re open!’ announcement, PSMC said it invested more than NT$300 billion (US$9.5 billion) on the facility, and that it had capacity to produce 50,000 12-inch wafers per month under 55, 40 and 28 nanometer technology nodes.

    Those kinds of chips are still very useful for things like cars and washing machines and such where you don't need bleeding edge chip tech.
