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

  • How do I join lemmy communities from my brainbin account ?

    Jump

  • Try searching for the community explicitly -- e.g. community@example.com -- that should make the server aware that it exists. You may also need to subscribe to keep it from going stale, IIRC.

    It's been a while since my time on kbin, so apologies if I'm remembering something incorrectly or if mbin has diverged since then.

  • what is the best fruit to leave in a fridge?

    Jump

  • Don't put them in until they are ripe. Once they are the right level of ripeness for you, you can extend them being in that state for several days by putting them in the fridge.

  • Call the manufacturer -- if it's commercially produced, there's usually a number on the jar somewhere. I've done that when I bought cereal that had a badly sealed bag inside and got sent coupons worth more than the cost of the item for taking the trouble to report it.

  • Maxwell (the GTX970) I believe is still receiving updates from Nvidia so probably fine.

    NVIDIA dropped regular support for it last month. They will get fixes for critical security issues only (until 2028). (source)

  • What are some tricks to efficiently search for information on the internet?

    Jump

  • If you're interested in building a new general purpose search engine, it probably makes the most sense to start with Common Crawl's data set and augment it rather than starting from scratch.

  • Linux QT apps/packages for YouTube alternatives?

    Jump

  • I typically download videos from PeerTube (from the mp4 link they provide) and then do a quick pass with ffmpeg to make seeking work better. (ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vcodec copy -acodec copy -movflags faststart output.mp4) Then I can just play them in VLC.

    It's technically possible to stream PeerTube in VLC if you grab the m3u8 out of the network requests, but it doesn't seem to know how to fetch it on its own if you just give it a link to a video page though, unfortunately, and I'm not sure how to change the quality.

    Old Fashioned Sloppy Joes Recipe

    Ingredients

    • 1 lb. ground beef
    • 1/4 cup finely diced onion (frozen is fine)
    • 1 clove garlic, minced (or 1/8 teaspoon dried garlic powder)
    • 3/4 cup ketchup
    • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
    • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
    • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
    • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
    • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
    • Dash of ground black pepper
    • For serving: sandwich buns

    Instructions

    1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef, onion, and garlic until the meat is no longer pink. Drain.
    2. Whisk together the remaining ingredients to make the sauce. Add to the skillet with the beef, onion, and garlic.
    3. Simmer uncovered over low heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring regularly, until the mixture reaches desired consistency. You can keep the skillet covered if you like the sauce "sloppier." If the sauce is too thick, gradually stir in a small amount of warm water or beef broth. If the sauce is too thin, gradually sift in a small amount of flour while stirring vigorously to thicken.
    4. Spoon beef mixture onto buns and serve!

    Recipe Variations

    • Use both Ketchup and BBQ Sauce: for a zesty spin, swap out half of the ketchup and replace it with barbecue sauce instead.
    • Sloppy Joe Recipe with Tomato Sauce: For a slightly less sweet Sloppy Joe sauce, replace half of the ketchup with tomato sauce. You can even omit the ketchup entirely and use tomato sauce instead. Just sweeten with brown sugar to taste.
    • Homemade Sloppy Joes with BBQ Sauce: If you love the zippy flavor of barbecue sauce, swap out the ketchup and replace it with your favorite brand of store-bought (or homemade) bbq sauce.
    • Add Seasoning: Use your favorite seasonings like chili powder or cumin, or herbs such as oregano, thyme, basil, or parsley.
    • Include Vegetables: Make healthy Sloppy Joes by sneaking in extra veggies. Try diced bell pepper, shredded zucchini or squash, or grated carrots.
    • Try Different Meat: Instead of ground beef, use ground pork or ground turkey, or a blend of meats.
    • Make Them Spicy: Add crushed red pepper flakes or cayenne to your sauce.
    • No Sugar Sloppy Joe Recipe: omit the brown sugar and use no-sugar-added ketchup.

  • How is it possible to access Arduino compiled code from another language like MicroPython or FORTH?

  • I don't know about MicroPython or Arduino specifically, but I often call code I wrote in C or C++ using ctypes from regular Python.

    Jump

  • That's more or less how I read it, yeah. Pretty sure the authors were thinking in terms of GUIs having a field to enter that info when you make a user account on a system but I think something like that would meet the intent for programs to access the user's declared age.

    Go read the actual bill. It has issues, but it's not an ID requirement. It's an "are you over 18?" type of check (with several brackets) at the OS level.

  • It ships with Enigma (see the Steam page). It used to be Denuvo -- which is why I didn't buy the game at launch -- but I still ain't buying it if they're shipping it with that shit.
