This is always my concern with creating git aliases, and find it’s just as easy to use the reverse search in shell to find
git commit -a --amend --no-editrather than make up an alias which just works on one machine. Also, a lot of the time I’m sharing my screen or sending the output to someone, and don’t want to have to explain whatgcanemeans.I do like the syntax highlighting plugin, that was new to me.
0·3 days agoYeah, I’m unfamiliar with the state of doing encoding with a pi, I have seen that newer models have a dedicated encoder chip for h.264 but I’ve personally never used it. Even with the first model of the raspberry pi, it included a hardware decoder, and was able to run as a media player hooked up to HDMI. I’m assuming OP wants something like that, just a media player for the CRT, and not a full fledged media server which can power everything.
Imagine if the CRT filter on an actual CRT turns it into HD
This was actually new to me that the recent models have it, I haven’t tried the instructions from this blog, but it seems about right. I only used the original Pi and gave some life to spare CRT TVs like 10 years ago.
You could do something pretty cost efficiently with a Raspberry Pi that has composite video out: https://www.blakecarpenter.dev/using-a-raspberry-pi-with-a-crt-television/
3·4 days agoRight, if it was a failure to catch fake IDs, my guess is the fake id would be to evade getting caught after the fact, regardless if they had any history on their record. I haven’t looked into anything really for both cases but I’d imagine the people at Turo are scrambling double time now.
In my area, Turo is the lowest cost for car rentals, and they just act as a middleman between someone with a car and someone without one. They may have some vehicles of their own, but most of their fleet are not cars they own. It could just be people were going for the lowest cost form for their killing & destruction.
I’ve rented through Turo and they just have you take a photo of your drivers license, front/back. No one confirmed it when picking up the car. It could be that their prescreening is flawed and fake IDs were not being detected? I’d have to imagine this violated state laws, so if they were found to not be validating the information, they are probably in some shit.
1·8 days agoFor the record, the Epic Game Store launched on December 6, 2018, and is over 6 years old now.
Works for Prime and GOG. Epic sometimes works outside the docker container, but sometimes you still get a CAPTCHA still. There’s an active discussion for fixing Epic inside a docker container.
Enhance your calm. I was merely pointing out that the game installers are offline for GOG, meaning there’s not a physical mechanism to cut you off. As you mentioned, if it’s online, then they can cut you off, which is true for Steam but not GOG.
GOG installer is offline:

A purchase of a digital product on GOG grants you its Offline Installers, which cannot be taken away from you.
free food, warm bed, access to healthcare. I’d kill for that right now.

Woah that’s neat. So if I open this link every week, i’ll always get the giveaway? Making this my homepage now.
9·18 days agoI inadvertently found out about this watching the video about the Jeff Bezos rowing boat
Very nice, thanks!!
This looks fun. Looked it up on board game geek too: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/358636/sas-rogue-regiment. Might check it out if i can get some friends interested as well.
