I can very slightly speak to this. But like from a beer league, geriatric sort if way. I play indoor soccer, but I also did pickup football games when I was a teenager. I am old now. Like middle aged I guess. As is most of my team. (1970's baby's). We are a very average team in our division. In a ten week season we typically win 5 or 6 games. Sometimes only two or three.

A couple sessions ago a team of similar aged football players made an indoor soccer team. They were larger than everyone, chopped everyone down, physically won most 1v1 battles. However, we obliterated them. Like 9-3 one game 11-4 another. We just kept passing around and they kept running at 10/10ths until they were gassed.

Now when I was playing football, you would only play me at RB or WR. Fast, quick yes. But a linebacker would wreck me. Build a whole team of guys like me and, well likely strip sacks on most plays. Diversity of si, R in the NFL is hard to see on TV, but offensive linemen are like 330lbs. Some wrs are like 180lbs. You don't see that variance in soccer.

In short. The sports aren't comparable.

If you do this, and you're near me, I'll come buy a book from you.

Just hypothetical idea here, what if we token max using billionaire class subsidized llm, on a pi5 like device and make our own roku with ab openscad body. Put the client on every TV possible and the thumbnail is a middle finger? Just hypothetical of course wouldn't actually use overly subsidized AI coding agents for open purposes... That's crazy talk.

Right but also, turn on your sponsorblock.

For whatever reason, the top piece warped despite what appear to be basically perfect supports.

I posted a few weeks ago (in ask lemmy) about an android app I was working on. At the time I didn’t have a google play account, but I do now! They allow for internal testers. I thought maybe I'd got some better traffic here.

Well, my post got a little traffic in ask lemmy, but no one volunteered. Here’s the thing though. I can’t find the issues, or crappy workflows, I need someone else to put eyeballs on it. I’m not a big company so I can’t offer much, but I can offer a free copy of the app if that’s a selling point.

Anyway, I’m going to take a real big leap here and just toss the link for testing out in the open.

Basically subject. I've been following my kid through two clubs over the last few years and there are just a few tools I think the coaches are lacking. One is drill and plan organization, the other is wellness before games (data science). I've been working on an android app for a while now and it's just about to the point where I need coaches to tell me what's wrong with it, or what they like about it.

I don't want to post any links so I can't get called out for advertising, but if you are interested in helping just reply and I'll message you directly. I did get my google developer account approved though I haven't posted a release build yet. There are still a few small issues I need to fix first.

I have a preorder for one. And I've been debating the best solution for a "stereo" Right now I'm literally thinking just a Bluetooth speaker that supports multiple devices so the other two drivers in the family can also use it.

But is there anything more interesting? Like a tablet with a simple card providing wifi hotspot maybe... Or a modified steamdeck with a controller kind of thing. I'd love some creatice ideas

Hairpin dns issue (lemmy.world)

I've got Immich working great on Unraid, but if I'm on my network I can't really use it. Just fails to resolve the dns. I looked it up and it's that my router doesn't support hairpin or something. It's a Aginet hb810. I found a workaround in the Immich client where you can add a second entry that's network specific, but it doesn't seem to work very reliably.

What are my options?

Finally decided to give GrapheneOS a try as I've got a fp6 with /e/os and love it.

Found an eBay listing for one in very good condition, and right in the subject it says unlocked. Got it yesterday, excited to try it. Start following the install instructions, only to see OEM unlock grayed out. One article says, it must be connected to the internet, so I connect it to wifi. Still grayed out. Another article says install all the updates and reboot. Two hours later, still grayed out. I've measaged the seller asking for a refund, but I don't know. Anyone else have an idea?

My local transit only uses Google wallet for tap to pay, but I've got about 90% of my stuff out of Google. Paypal used to install as a wallet but doesn't seem to do tap to pay. And since the latest /e/os update, can't even select it anymore. I'm not in the EU so can't use wero.

Any other options I haven't found maybe?

Just got a marketing email from Murena and they are advertising the FP6 in the USA with a $60 discount. I bought one when they first went on sale in the usa and I love it. You can run AOSP android or /e/os on it. I'm running /e/os with the fossify launcher and it's pretty great. Battery life is probably the best part though, I can easily make it 3 days without charging.

The state program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years. At the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

I think I'm done, hit my mental energy limit. I have a very small 3d design company, where I started by taking small projects, making the design and then selling it on either Etsy or Artisans coop. I'd also attend local craft fairs, or makers markets.

I've had a lot of fun and satisfaction doing this, solved some cool problems for people and made a small amount of money. (Mostly just paid for the printers)

But, the last three craft fairs I've attended I sold literally nothing at one, and only a few dollars at the others, Etsy sales have dried up and Artisans coop never got off the ground for me. I know I need to market, but I've been doing it without Meta/deadbird etc which is so tough.

So I think I'm done and just want a way out.

If anyone either has advice on how to sell this company (its an LLC) or if you are even interested in buying it, maybe DM me. I've got tons if filament, a pair of nice printers, probably a few dozen 3d designs plus a bunch of replacement parts for the printers. PrusaXL2T and Vivedino Troodon300 heavily modded.

I mean that has licensed tracks and cars that you can modify in stupid fun ways? The last time I played Gran Tuismo was on a PS3 and I played it so much.

I have purchased a few games over the years, Project cars 1-3, Asetto corsa, Forza Horizon, The Crew 2.... all of them were interesting in some ways, but I just miss grabbing a boring car and modding it to stupid power levels and racing it at Laguna seca for example.

I made this planter (<- imgur gallery) to sell at a pair of craft fairs I'm attending this month and next. I needed something small enough I could fit a few of them on the 6 foot table. I can make them in any color but I love how the black and white turned out.

I would like to have one with a plant in it to showcase it on the table and was hoping you all would have some suggestions (this community always has great suggestions!)

It's about 4 inches tall and 6 inches wide.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Listen man, there are 100 senators. If you wanted to drag on any of them for not being progressive enough, I'm sure you can find something to complain about each of them.

All I'm saying is dragging on the ones who have a history of pushing for civial rights might not be the best choice. The only result you get from this thinking is more capitalist nut jobs.

But maybe you know that and are just being disengenous?

[-] mortalic@lemmy.world 86 points 1 year ago

Respectfully, Bernie isn't the problem. Literally the last politician you need to worry about. Also I've got op tagged as "posts anti Bernie" so op, think about why you want to drag on the literal only senator that has been arrested for protesting. Why do you ignore people like John fetterman who literally tricked people into thinking he was progoressive and now votes with republicans.

Op. Do. Better.

Ok since no one here is giving actual information, there was a guy on Rich Rebuilds channel a few years ago that had done a lot of work in this space. I think it was this video: https://youtu.be/o-7b1waoj9Q

Any way, at the time he had made a ton of progress on the hardware. I don't have the mental energy right now to dig in to see how it's gone, but feel free to do so and post back.

MRNA vaccines for cancer, HIV and others. Moderna clinical trials have been real good.

Imagine getting a cancer diagnosis, then 30 days later getting a tailored treatment that eliminated the cancer.

Also vote. Because one party system has decided to side with anti vaxxers. The other has not. Cancer numbers have been steadily rising, second only to heart disease as a cause of death. There is a solid chance you're going to get cancer.

Gaming on Linux is pretty legit now. I don't even boot into windows very often. In recent memory, only one AAA game didn't work out of the box for me that required booting into windows.

Just a reminder that it isn't a left vs right conversation. It's working class vs ruling class.

You aren't bitter at leftists, you're bitter at the ideas that media companies use to keep you angry at leftists instead of oligarchs.

If you have to work, you're working class.

If you actually do hate certain types of people, then you need to work on yourself.

If you don't believe certain people need health care, then you need to work on yourself.

If you believe ultra wealthy (people making over $10mil in income annually) deserve more tax cuts, then you need to work on yourself.

If you don't believe that minimum wage should have parity with inflation, then you need to work on yourself.

Have some class solidarity.

EDIT: To all those downvotes... Ask yourself why you are downvoting me. (Now with 100% more sources)

Do you actually hate certain people? Really? But you're downvoting me? Work on yourself.

Do you actually believe you don't deserve health care? That others don't deserve health care? Seriously? Work on yourself.

Are you super wealthy (low percentage chance)? I'm saying uncomfortable things to you. But you can easily afford those taxes so maybe work on yourself.

Do you believe people working for minimum wage shouldn't be able to afford an apartment by themselves anywhere in the USA? Work on yourself.
