You don’t need to build out a giant shack with a tower and 1kW of transmit to get on the air and hit decent ranges! There’s a ton of 5-10W pocket sized radios that’ll give you surprisingly great results with just a wire thrown up a tree branch, some under $40 if you wanna learn the dit-dahs. The equipment is way less important than how you set it up, and anything is better than nothing. Get on the air and have fun!

Eh fuck em. I’ll wave 'till I die. 👋

How old are you? 😆

Depends on the game/publisher. Depending on the anticheat it can be as simple as enabling Linux/Proton support on the dev’s side with a flag.

I can’t play Destiny 2 with my Destiny obsessed friend, that’s about all I’ve been impacted. Didn’t really get into it anyway. I don’t even check ProtonDB anymore before buying new games, they almost all work flawlessly these days.

You’d be surprised how much can be done at the edge with current cameras. I’m not sure exactly how these particular ones are set up, but the other major players in the space (Axis,Bosch,Panasonic) all have pretty surprising levels of local compute dedicated to “AI”, and leveraging external VMS platforms can exponentially increase capabilities. It’s pretty idiot proof once set up, as it’s aimed at desk jockies that monitor and report with minimal systems training.

Again, not this specific system but this stuff is far from sci-fi anymore.

Spray paint. Krylon makes “stained glass” paints. Something dark and thick like violet would be pretty effective.

I work in security engineering, including massive video systems. With any commercial unit made in the last 5 years and any software past entry level consumer grade this is a non-issue. Especially if someone is using descriptive visual search when pulling up video vs just scanning through every motion event.

That’s a fucking hilarious shirt though.

I wouldn’t even be mad honestly. I learned a ton of my early computer skills trying to get stuff running where I shouldn’t or get into things I had no business messing with. That’s how kids learn!

So…if I were to write and illustrate Lot(?) throwing his daughters to an entire gang of dudes to be used that’s cool right? With proper citations and stuff?

Follow Sony’s play and call it an “OtherOS” mode. You don’t even have to support it once you’re already shipping under the new classification!

Yeah but it’s all strip malls and Arby’s.

We need them here now more then ever unfortunately. But yeah, stay safe and spread out for sure.

They’re the only thing I wear tee shirts for, have stickers all over my gear, and talk about way too often. Underappreciated champions of the people and nobody outside of these kinds of circles knows who the hell they are.

Oh look, Boston!

What would the wall being precut have to do with the car deciding to drive through it?

Doing my part!

$11 in Western WA state too.

Well Pop is based on Ubuntu, while EndeavourOS is based on Arch. So package availability is a little different. I’ve never really had issues with either but only really checked out Pop for a few weeks. I’m typing this from my EOS rig I play all my games on that’s been stable and happy for maybe a year now.

One distro is fairly similar (or can be made similar) to another more or less if you get into it. I’ve found EndeavourOS pretty damn easy to set up and run for what that’s worth and run it on three different machines right now.
