I think that is basically what this is. I was actually looking for a replacement power supply for a cat feeder when I found this. Considered it for a minute then discarded the idea as cool, but overly expensive in my case. If I had had a spare 30w USB-C power supply, might have gone another way, but the older wall wart style power supply only cost me $15.
I found an interesting USB-C alternative to barrel jack wall warts. Thought I'd share...
This cable will let you get rid of all those wall adapters you have stashed in the plastic bin in the basement. Instead of multiple wall warts with different power and current capabilities, ...
I found an interesting barrel plug cable. Thought I'd share in case anyone else is looking for a 5.5mm barrel power plug. No clue if it's any good.
Looks like it's available in 5v 5A to 28v 5A and the cable will only supply the rated voltage or 5v if the power supply can't supply the required voltage.
It does have a datasheet, which unfortunately is written in a language I can't read. Doesn't look like it comes with a power supply.
I see two issues with it. First, I don't have a boat load of spare USB-C PD power supplies so this solution winds up costing me more. Second, while the voltage is printed on the cable, it's printed grey on black so it probably going to be hard to read and once that wears off your back to playing "what's this cable".
This cable includes an EMARK chip
This cable is 1.2 meters long
Tip is 5.5mm outer diameter, 2.5mm inner diameter with center positive voltage, but it's springy so it works just fine for 2.1mm as well.
First time I’ve heard of that DAW. The UI reminds me a bit of Aurdour or MixBus. Personally I prefer Reaper.
Aurdour is FOSS and under heavy development, so if you’ve tried it in the past you might want to take another look at it. Reaper and MixBus are both proprietary. Played with MixBus some but it wasn’t for me. UI kept flummoxing me. Reaper made more sense to me off the bat and so I stuck with it.
If your needs are really simple though you might see if Audacity might work. Also FOSS. It’s more an overgrown voice recorder than a DAW though.
There are a lot of options in that space and it’s strongly a personal preference thing.
The main thing I notice is piping audio around from one piece of software to another.
It's braindead simple in Linux (so long as you have JACK or Pipewire setup and the software is JACK aware), but as far as I could ever figure out, it's pretty much impossible in Windows.
Like others have said, your best bet is to just buy new a new scope mount and rings from any firearms shop. Easier and less headache. You will need to know your scope's tube diameter.
However, if you are dead set on repair rather than replace (and are in the US), for oddball engineering projects like this I tend to use McMaster Carr. If they if they don't have what you need I would be very surprised. They are an engineering supplier, and have prices to match. But they sell anything thats not electronics. Excellent customer service too.
For electronics builds or repairs, I recommend DigiKey.
Between the two you could build or repair just about anything.
I'd say no.
I don't think they federate. Least ways, I don't think I've ever seen a post from a bluesky account, on lemmy or mastodon, and SDF hadn't blocked them server side last I checked.
I think they're a bit like truth social, not federating and off doing their own thing.
A trio of House Democrats asked to be removed as co-sponsors of a resolution to impeach President Trump, a sign that many in the party do not want to go down the path of trying to remove the president from office — at least at the current moment.

Here’s the text of the press release if anyone is blocked for some reason. About damn time.
Today, Congressman Shri Thanedar (MI-13) introduced articles of impeachment against Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, citing a sweeping abuse of power, flagrant violations of the Constitution, and acts of tyranny that undermine American democracy and threaten the rule of law.
"Donald Trump has repeatedly demonstrated that he is unfit to serve as President and represents a clear and present danger to our nation’s constitution and our democracy," said Rep. Thanedar. "His unlawful actions have subverted the justice system, violated the separation of powers, and placed personal power and self-interest above public service. We cannot wait for more damage to be done. Congress must act."
The resolution includes seven articles of impeachment outlining a range of constitutional violations:
Rep. Thanedar emphasized that the American people deserve leadership rooted in accountability and integrity, not authoritarianism, saying, "This is not about partisanship. It’s about protecting our democracy and ensuring that no one, not even a President, is above the law."
Congressman Shri Thanedar proudly represents Michigan's 13th Congressional District, which includes Detroit, Downriver, and the Grosse Pointes. As a champion for working families, Shri is committed to advancing economic opportunities, education, healthcare access, and entrepreneurship for underserved communities. Drawing from his journey from poverty to success, he works tirelessly to uplift Metro Detroit, ensuring every resident has the resources and support they need to thrive.
I have to agree with @Wilco@lemm.ee, though the issue is not really while going down the road.
Language barriers become an issue at pickups, drop offs, truck stops, weigh stations and anywhere else where you might need to follow a precise set of oddball instructions.

If I remember the Halo books correctly (it’s been a while) the Spartan armor started out a golden color but dulled to green hue due to hits from Covenant energy weapons over time. Not particularly relevant to this discussion but I thought it was an interesting bit of lore.
I need to go back and reread them. Great series and well written for the most part.
Originally doom guy was just a face at the bottom of the HUD that grunted and got bloody as you took hits. The only images of him I remember was just a marine in green combat armor, not too dissimilar to modern real world combat armor, standing on a pile of dead demons and zombies(1993) and the 3rd person cinematics from Doom 3 (early 2000s ish?) where again he looked just like a normal human marine.
Halo come around in the mid 2000’s and Master Chief was never shown outside his armor or with his helmet off. Outside the TV show I’m not sure if that is still the case.
Not sure when the modern images of doom guy came about but I think it was around 2015. Probably not earlier.

A prominent computer scientist who has spent 20 years publishing academic papers on cryptography, privacy, and cybersecurity has gone incommunicado, had his professor profile, email account, and phone number removed by his employer Indiana University, and had his homes raided by the FBI. No one knows why.

Ukraine’s military and Russian war bloggers say Russian special forces walked inside a gas pipeline to strike Ukrainian units from the rear in the Kursk region.

One bit (out of context) from the article that made me chuckle:
Rubio told Sikorski: “No one has made any threats about cutting Ukraine off from Starlink. And say thank you because without Starlink, Ukraine would have lost this war long ago and Russians would be on the border with Poland right now.”
In fact, Russians are already on the border with Poland because the Russian region of Kaliningrad lies on Poland’s northern border.

Is it possible to mount a ZFS drive in OpenMediaVault?
Original Post:
I recently had a Proxmox node I was using as a NAS fail catastrophically. Not surprising as it was repurposed 12 year old desktop. I was able to salvage my data drive, but the boot drive was toast. Looks like the sata controller went out and fried the SSD I was using as the boot drive. This system was running TurnKey FileServer as a LXC with the media storage on a subvol on a ZFS storage pool.
My new system is based on OpenMediaVault and I'm am happy with it, but I'm hitting my head against a brick wall trying to get it to mount the ZFS drive from the old system. I tried installing ZFS using the instructions here as OMV is based on Debian but haven't had any luck so far.

I've been looking for a good Bluetooth speaker for a while now. My old one, a 1st gen Anker SoundCore that I bought in late in 2018 decided to quit working on me 2020 when the battery failed. I decided that I didn't want another one that would only last me a year or two before it failed. The ones that have actually decent sound just cost too much for me to be able to justify that. That one requirement turned out to be a big problem as almost nobody makes a decent Bluetooth speaker with a replaceable battery. Except, the power tool makers.
About 15 years ago (give or take) I had owned a Ryobi Bluetooth radio. The sound was crap and it wasn't exactly what you would call compact but it was loud and it took a good 5 years of actual, honest to god, abuse until it finally died. It fell into a pan of used motor oil. I cried. Not so much over the radio but rather over the 4ah 18v battery that had been powering it. Those things were damned expensive at the time.
So when I noticed that Ryobi h
