Boyger?

1e100.net is google's catch-all domain. Many of their services run under this domain.

It is a geeky pun, 1e100 is scientific notation for 1 followed by a hundred zeroes. This number is called a googol, which is similar sounding to google.

Beautiful story. Feel that we've all been there. Every now and then, when the assumption is that the stupid piece of tech isn't working, and there it is, just functioning as intended :)

Thanks for sharing

It is an infrared receiver extension cord.

Say you have a device that is controlled by an infrared remote, but is tucked away out of line of sight.

You can use this cord to move the infrared receiver into sight.

Here it is on amazon : https://www.amazon.com/uxcell-Infrared-Receiver-Receiving-Distance/dp/B07FKMK3GZ

I stand corrected, there is a web-version of libre office, although they don't support it directly, they do provide builds etc.

Top comment and comment thread from this reddit thread : https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/mtyqj9/how_to_prevent_fedora_from_changing_firefox_start/

Probably the same thing.

An alternative is to install the flatpak version of firefox, that nobara wouldn't mess with.

Try pressing fn+esc. Switches between fn keys and F keys on my laptop.

More of a story than I was expecting, coming to a thread about eyelids!

Thanks for passing on the knowledge

I love your enthusiasm and I love that you are asking questions! Also cool that you feel an urge to learn.

That being said, it is rather many questions you are asking at the same time :)

Watch this brilliant series, it should give you a grasp of what is going on, then take it from there.

Typically IR transmitter LEDs are transparent or light blueish, to allow as many photons as possible to exit the LED.

Typically IR receiver LEDs are dark, almost black, made to block out visible light and only pass through infrared wavelengths of light.

Here you see an IR transmitter LED on top and an IR receiver LED below that.

Brought forth, my mind, my spirit, conscience and flesh and all
Into this universe, by merit of affections made by thee
As forebearer, Zeus as to Hephaestus, as you to me
Echoing ancestral age's call

From infant times, whenst could I not procure my own
Through learning and advancing in my worth
You held me high, and pushed me forth
By song affirmative in words and tone

This trust of merits, my esteem, oft besong by you
Make these words, this moment, this request
Become the heaviest of my behest
Albeit an inquire I can not undo

Upon my arm, as equator round our very earth
Is bound with leather strap, and nimble lock
A dream of time, of days, of tick and tock
Of life, it's passage, to the grave from birth

A timepiece, chroniker, a metronome, a watch
In and of itself a wondrous thing
And as I watch it circumnavigate it's ring
I have but a single question, single catch

When on it's surface, with extended digits laid
With tap, with stroke, with haste, with patience and between
Expected outcome of my action, none are seen
And of my merits, now am I afraid

I humbly ask of you, my genesis, my kin
Am I the one who know not how to utilize
This measurer of time, this timeless prize
Am I unknown to functions laid within

No prodding, poking, touch or stroke
Have rendered changes visually
And therefore I conclude I now can see
The functions I can not provoke

I utter loudly "what the fuck"
Have you equipped it with parental lock?

What you are looking for is some kind of on screen display overlay.

I found this, see if it can be of any use : https://github.com/vascofazza/Retropie-open-OSD

Yeah, dags.

I loved early MacOS. I was really young, but it made a lasting impression on me.

Great blog post, give it a read.

Terminator was my super goto terminal emulator the last decade or so. Love it.

Recently switched to foot, because of GPU acceleration, touch screen support and wayland amongst others.

But I miss splitting windows and being able to send keystrokes to multiple windows/groups.

Try Terminator if you haven't - it's really nice!

Always have backups. "If you only have one, you have none".

Looks like btop. Great piece of software!

Do you mean "No bitcoin is useless" - none of the bitcoins are useless.

or

"No. Bitcoins are useless" - all the bitcoins are useless.

Hit me up. Ie. contact me.

I use warpinator to share between my phone, laptop and desktop at home. It uses the local network.

But yea, I use signal to share often, when I am out.

According to the PS4 user guide (https://manuals.playstation.net/document/en/ps4/settings/controlleroff.html) it can be done, so I reckon it is either a bug in the linux driver or in the Steam software.

No, Libre Office is offline only.

You need to look at something like Only Office, a free/open source web based office suite, which supports collaboration.

What is the browser?

Unbearable. How does one even do it? Maybe some keyboard putting spaces after words?

I died as many times on the very last level, as in the rest of the game combined 😅

Loved it

Good old --no-preserve-root 😅

Problem is that there is a previous blissful state of ignorance rule 34, so you are caught in a loop.

Yesterday I finished Cocoon - super nice puzzle game from the gameplay designer of Limbo and Inside. Can really recommend it for it's surreal athmosphere, great sound design and well built puzzles. Check it out!

Half way through BG3 with a couple of friends. Playing together in a single player game streamed from one friend. Works really well this way, which is not too common.

I used to run a kodi setup controlled by the kodi app on my phone. You could try that.

The plot thickens ...
