Not exactly the same, but an electron beam puts a lot of noise in the image: https://youtu.be/Uf4Ux4SlyT4

Also I've heard the international space station gets a lot of dead pixels on their cameras from cosmic radiation.

I think you'd have to modify the edid, since you're setting a custom refresh rate, not a hidden one.

I've use wxEDID to force enable VRR before.

Well, aren't you glad they're removing go-git then!

I've heard of it, but I didn't think it was financially viable for an individual to pay for though.

Frontier Airlines jet appears to catch fire while landing at Las Vegas airport, FAA and NTSB investigating in c/[email protected]

Someone commented on another video that they saw the Ram Air Turbine extended. So they would've lost power, supporting your electrical fire theory. Also it seems extending the RAT disables some safeguards, that can cause the wheels to lock and catch fire.

Having problems over installing and running py2wasm in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

For projects like this where they're hooking into the compiled python binaries, you really want to match the version.

Like 3.11 and 3.12 were pretty much released a year apart, a lot can change implementation wise.

After reading their blog, it seems like it doesn't support Python 3.12, and it looks like you're using Python 3.12.

Also if you tap on the 'kebab' menu and press View Source, you can copy the message.

AMD’s Linux graphics driver is getting too big for older machines in c/[email protected]

My understanding is that most of that all lives in mesa, and the kernel driver basically just abstracts the hardware.

I swear Lemmy comments for YouTube had a feature that let you open it for any page, but it seems the GitHub and Firefox page been deleted.

Edit: Looks like I've still got a fork: https://github.com/Steve-Tech/Reddit-Comments-for-YouTube (it says Reddit, but works for Lemmy too)

FOSS App Idea: A browser with Wireguard built in (programming.dev)
 

I was basically thinking of a simple browser app for Android that automatically makes its requests over a Wireguard tunnel.

I don't publicly expose a lot of my self hosted services, most are only available over a Wireguard VPN. I don't think my family could work that out, and I also don't usually keep it enabled all the time on my phone.

It doesn't have to be a fully featured browser, I'm fine for it to be the built in Android WebView or something, and just have a configurable menu of pages that can be easily visited.

I have some Android app experience from Uni, so I could maybe help out somewhat, but I feel I'm going to be in way over my head to do this alone. I'm happy to donate a little anyway.

KDE: Fix to weird theming in flatpaks (programming.dev)
 

This is more of a public note to self, but if anyone else had screwed up fonts, default cursors, and missing minimise/maximise buttons in flatpaks on KDE Wayland, put this in your /usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/kde-portals.conf:

[preferred]
default=kde;gtk;
org.freedesktop.impl.portal.Settings=kde;gtk;

Then restart xdg-desktop-portal.

Source: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=474746#c12

Apparently this will be fixed in 5.27.9 releasing on the 24th anyway, but I've tried so many different 'solutions' and this had been annoying me for weeks.

Anglican Church sacked Headmaster over compensation to child sexual abuse victims (archive.md)

I'm not usually one to share links, but my old school's Headmaster (Dr Paul Browning at St Paul's School) is in a little bit of trouble with the Anglican church for compensating child sexual abuse victims from incidents in the 80s/90s. As he started in 2008, those victims technically weren't his problem but he refunded their tuition fees anyway because it's the right thing to do. However the Anglican church doesn't see it that way and sacked him.

I graduated in 2021, but he was truly an amazing person, somehow remembers everyone's names, greeting them whenever and while I never had him as a teacher, I've heard he was really an amazing & energetic teacher when in the classroom. I was even at the school earlier this year and was asking how I was doing with uni and stuff. I genuinely believe he doesn't deserve this.

Please share this as much as you can, there is a change.org petition, but I feel raising awareness and maybe writing to Bishop Greaves and the Anglican Schools Commission are probably the best ways that you can help!

Thanks for Reading!
