  • These people are absolutely pitiful and predictable. “DEI this” and “DEI that”. Loomer is just mad she couldn’t be Trumps “DEI side chick” because she can’t shut her mouth and makes him look worse than he does on his own.

  • Tbh I didn’t even mind what the bot was trying to do. I just remember opening what felt like every post and seeing dozens of lines taken up by the bot. I ended up just blocking it and cross-referencing with ground news myself.

  • Donations do not obligate anyone to do anything. It’s a donation, not pay. They should be done out of appreciation for someone’s time and effort, or to help support any potential work the project decides to do. But never with the expectation that you’re owed something back for donating.

  • Unfortunately not everyone has the luxury. Nothing about a 9-5 preventing them being there is “exceptionally lazy”. It’s a reality people face. Especially when everything’s about to skyrocket here in price. Job security is kinda important too.

  • I’ve been using Netlify for smaller apps, but lately Railway has been my go to. Pretty cheap too and it covers mostly everything you’ll need to deploy app regardless of language or framework. Their UI makes it all very easy to manage with the “nodes”.

    Both of those services (as do most) give you the option to load environment variables onto the app itself.

    So the process is normally this: You have env vars you’re using locally like API tokens that you’re putting in your .env during development. Now you’re ready to deploy. Because you’ve gitignored that file locally, you don’t have to worry about secrets being in your code base, but also, because they’re environment variables, you’re framework will see those variables available in the “box”.

    Ultimately, there’s no difference between having stuff in your local .env and injected by a service during deployment. Just make sure the env var keys are the same in each case.

    Hope that’s not too confusing. If so, I’m happy to clarify anything.

    EDIT: also wanna add that Supabase isn’t that bad. It helps you know exactly what you need it to provide for you and then start searching away to see how to slowly put together each of those pieces. With them, I usually start with the Auth stuff, then move on to my database and storage. Functions last if the project calls for them. There’s quite a bit of info out there if you know specifically what you’re wanting to solve at the moment.

  • You don’t really need to know a specific language to self-host anything. But things like YAML, JSON, Docker, and some networking basic will go a long way.

    If I could do anything different though, it would definitely be to write more documentation. Document the steps taking setting things up, log notes on when you have to fix something, archive webpages and videos that you used along the way. Currently doing that myself now after some time self-hosting.

  • Disposable vape pen batteries. They can be wired up to make battery banks. There’s tons of videos online explaining the process. Just please don’t try if you don’t know your way around electronics.

    Video streaming services should provide an option to disable thumbnails and description

    It happens so often where we’re watching a series and as we’re scrolling to the right episode, we see thumbnails made from a clip in that episode. So like if someone was maybe about to die, now I know that’s not gonna be the case. And most of the time, the description says too much.

    Edit: I should maybe specific that I’m mainly talking about services like Netflix, Prime, etc.

    Any meteorologist that can help me figure out what the heck this line is?

    Last night at about 6:15 pm, I noticed this super bright pink line in the sky. It was almost exactly N<->S. I’m in the Space Coast, Florida if that helps. I’ve never seen plane contrails look like this. Weird thing is that it almost looked like if the area in the center of the line was ionized, plasma-like. Unfortunately the camera didn’t pick up how vivid the line was. In another picture it almost seems like the line makes a 90 degree turn due east at the northern tip of it.

    I thought maybe a meteor since there was that Taurid shower a few days but I don’t know if meteors fall N to S and if they ionize clouds like that. I don’t know if that actually is even ionization. We also have a lot of aerospace research companies here so who knows if it could be that?

    Hoping someone can chime in with what it might be.

    Live Long and Prosper... with aliens

    During the UAP hearing yesterday from the US House Oversight Committee, Michael Gold, a witness who is a former NASA official involved with NASA’s UAP study team, gave the Vulcan Salute while being sworn in. His smile is like “Yeah I’m doin it”.

    What DAW are you using?

    I don’t think there’s a way to do a proper poll so if you don’t see your DAW mentioned in a top level comment, make the comment to the post. If it’s already listed, maybe just upvote it? That way we can get a representation of what DAWs are more among subscribers here.

    I’m curious just because it’s always neat to hear what people use and how, but also to see how possible tuts or techniques can be explained in a way more people will understand. Or provide a variety of examples for various DAWs.

    EDIT: Actually, I don’t know the best way to list the ones I use without making a few comments to this post. I’ll just upvote them if I see them listed.

    Getting Wide and Lush Acoustic Guitars

    This is a simple technique that creates a beautiful spread on acoustic guitar. It requires a few things first:

    • Acoustic guitar recorded on two tracks.
      • One track with a mic capturing the neck. I like to use a small diaphragm condenser.
      • Another track with a mic capturing the body. I usually go large diaphragm condenser.
      • (or go with some other XY/stereo mic config)
    • Two aux channels with a reverb. One aux panned hard left the other panned hard right.

    Usually when guitars are mic’d with two mics like this, in the mix you pan them hard left and right. Like body left, neck right.

    The trick here is that for the guitar track you pan left, send a bit to the reverb aux panned right. For the track panned right, send to the left reverb aux. What happens is that the reverb will fill the opposing sides and creates a super spacious and wide sound unlike just sending both guitar tracks to one aux. You can get an even better effect if the reverbs each have a slightly different sett

    How to reach out to university staff for consultation

    I’m working on an indie game that deals with Space Sciences. I’m nearby a well-known university for aerospace and space sciences and could use some guidance from people that know the subject well. The university’s faculty directory helped me find potential contacts but I’m not too sure on the proper etiquette for contacting them.

    Do I just contact a few of them individually to their uni emails? Do I contact their provided phone numbers? Do I reach out to the Department Head and ask for their guidance? Is payment usually expected for an initial conversation like this?
