Replace “x.com” in the URL with “xcancel.com” to see context, replies, chronological user tweets, etc. It’s a Nitter instance that still works.

Hadn’t heard of pikvm before. Will keep that in mind, thanks!

While you didn’t name names of what app you were using for streaming, I just got into a similar situation with my dorm and what I found worked was using wired ALVR for my streaming. Not wireless, but good, long right-angled USB-C cables don’t cost a fortune. https://github.com/alvr-org/ALVR/wiki/ALVR-wired-setup-(ALVR-over-USB)

I’m at college right now, which is a 3 hour drive away from my home, where a server of mine is. I just have to ask my parents to turn it back on when the power goes out or it gets borked. I access it solely through RustDesk and Cloudflare Tunnels SSH (it’s actually pretty cool, they have a web interface for it).

I have no car, so there’s really no way to access it in case something catastrophic happens. I have to rely on hopes, prayers, and the power of a probably outdated Pop!_OS install. Totally doesn’t stress me out I’ll just say I like to live on the edge :^)

What’s Reddit?

I don’t know the specifics behind why the limit is 72 bytes, but that might be slightly tricky. My understanding of bcrypt is that it generates 2^salt different possible hashes for the same password, and when you want to test an input you have to hash the password 2^salt times to see if any match. So computation times would get very big if you’re combining hashes

bcrypt has a maximum password length of 72 bytes.

Good to know! I suppose it makes sense for the smaller registries to be a little shadier.

While I do agree that this is bad, I’m a little confused—what does this have to do with dead internet theory? Doesn’t that relate to users being bots?

I’m sure a lot of forks will pop up right around this time. I’ll be less skeptical of them once I see actual commits made to the codebase instead of things like just changing the readme

I hate to be that guy, but it doesn’t seem like there’s anything to this fork. At least a few links in the README don’t work, and the domain for the “email” is actively for sale. The owner of the repository doesn’t seem to have any real previous projects on their GitHub account.

I can understand that it’s a new fork, but in my mind you’d want to at least make sure the Readme is… passable before you spread the word and make a Patreon for the project.

EDIT: The Patreon link has been removed since I made this comment. I’m still incredibly skeptical of the project though

The brief explanation is that Nitter worked by creating “guest accounts”, which were a leftover from when you used to be able to use the Twitter mobile app without an account. After creation, these accounts lasted for a month. The time since the ability to create these accounts was removed is nearing (has reached?) a month

This guy goes by the name Skweezy Jibbs, and he’s actually a comedian! Look him up if you don’t know him, he’s done some pretty funny stuff. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/people/skweezy-jibbs

Lsen -> “Listen [,]”

OlsenFish -> “I’ll send fish”

Edit: No, it’s just the OlsenFish. The “Lsen” I thought I saw at the top was part of “Olsen”, my vision failed me again >_<

I think what was meant here is that it won’t run apps designed for the Oculus Quest lineup (which is based on Android), not the actual Facebook application

I assume the console / game store pays for the bandwidth, not them. No skin off their back

I believe the name is using Unicode Regional Indicators for something other than their intended purpose. Not sure of the specifics though

StreetComplete is Android only, but last I heard Go Map!! for iOS was trying to add a similar “quest” functionality to that found in SC.

It’s not exactly the same, but I can vouch for StreetComplete being an incredibly good/similar game. You walk around the real world, and the app points out missing data in OpenStreetMap that you can fill in easily. You get the dopamine of a number going up, help dethrone proprietary map dominamce, and get some good excercise in in the process.

I have an external monitor that runs at 144Hz, but a while ago I realized because it was connected over HDMI, it was limited to 60Hz (for some weird reason). So I bought a DisplayPort cable, and after plugging it in the screen was flickering/artifacting in some weird way that I haven’t seen it do on X11 or Windows with the same cable. So as a result I’ve had to reluctantly switched back to i3 for daily use
