Lemmy is still here yes? You're commenting on a Lemmy post and reaching other Lemmy users. That is what decentralisation solves. If it was centralized this would mean the end for Lemmy.

Wolfizen ,

I disagree. I believe this is object oriented and the object is Point.

You're right that the syntax looks different. But whether the object is before the function name: obj.fn(p) or after the function name: fn(obj, p) does not change its status as a parameter. It is still required to be present in the invocation in both cases.

Object oriented isn't about where the parameters go, it is about how the program is organised and designed.

How to Use Local IP for Services when at Home?

So I have some services and wireguard running locally on a "home" network. I also have wireguard, a DNS resolver, and a reverse proxy set up on a remote server. Since I don't want to expose the home IP to the public, to access my services I connect to the VPN on the remote, which then forwards my request home. But this means ...

Wolfizen ,

If you use IPv6 globally routable addresses for your services you can avoid all split horizon DNS, NAT, hairpin, etc. With the magic of IP routing and maybe some custom wireguard route advertisements your packets will go through the shortest path wherever your client hosts are.

It’s 2005 Again.

You were supposed to be studying for your computer class, but got distracted by The Sims on your iMac G4 instead!

A warmly lit desk staged to look like 2005, with a white iMac G4 in the center running The Sims in a window. Four pink sticky notes with handwritten reminders are stuck along the bottom of the screen. On the desk are a white Apple keyboard and mouse, an open computer textbook showing diagrams about disk boot and memory, and an open notebook with handwritten technical notes and a pen resting on it. To the left are a Coca-Cola can, a portable Sony Discman with a small speaker attached, a Sony Ericsson flip phone, a blue floppy disk, a blue calculator, and a black Game Boy Advance SP with a Shrek 2 cartridge beside it. A DVD of Corner Gas season one is also visible. To the right are a Logitech game controller and a green-yellow lava lamp casting a soft glow. The scene looks like someone was supposed to be studying for computer class but got distracted by playing The Sims instead.

The PLOP bootloader floppy and TI calculator caught my eye. Nice set!

Wolfizen ,

I believe it. I still miss the starfield background on PLOP.

I bought this light a week ago. My overall impression is great satisfaction.

Positives:

I LOVE the beam flexibility. I use flood most, spot second.

The throw in spot mode is great. I feel a reluctance to buy a dedicated throw light because this does the job.

It feels solid in my hand without feeling bulky. The heatsinks and wider lens housing do not feel wide at all.

Neutrals:

The UI is meh. I do not have significant issues using it. I set the brightness I want for the activity then I dont change it for an hour+.

Bonus hidden UI: after you change modes with a hold press, you have again 3s to change the brightness with single clicks. So it is possible to adjust brightness without powering down the light, but feels like a hack not intended use

Negatives:

The included wrist strap has a wimpy attachment string, met with an equally small lanyard hole. I do not trust it with the weight of the light.

When pressing the button while locked, the indicator lights dont show the current battery level. They all blink. Missed opportunity.

Wolfizen OP ,

Dang. Thank you for your answer.

Wolfizen OP ,

Thanks so much! I will take a look at your suggested ships.

Metro series games use bullets as a currency. Theyre small, not easily produceable in the setting, and have inherent value (you can shoot your money at enemies). Great design.

Wolfizen ,

+1!!

I found this guide very inspiring: https://melonking.net/thoughts/lets-make

It focuses on the creativity and self-creation aspect of writing your own websites. The site is quirky but also geniune.

+1 to FlorisBoard!!

(I am biased, I create themes for it)

Great read!

How does the game play on Linux?

I've been thinking of coming back to the game after about 5-7 years away. Are there any new features I need to be aware of? Has anything drastically changed? Also, how well does it run on linux since that's all I have to game with these days? Does anyone have any fleet suggestions? I'm not sure if my old fleet is still around, ...

Wolfizen ,

Works fine for me. Steam autoselected a proton version and everything worked out of the box.

If you drop the "from anywhere" part, you can set up a pihole with a static address that you can use from within your LAN, without any involvement from your ISP.

Read section "Assign your Raspberry Pi a static IP address" of https://www.raspberrypi.com/tutorials/running-pi-hole-on-a-raspberry-pi/

Wolfizen OP ,

Thanks! I agree.

Wolfizen OP ,

Do you use it? What features benefit you most?

Wolfizen ,

How touching. Let me play a sad tune on Canada's smallest violin. 🥺

Apparently this message used to be common when GDPR first came into force.

Also, I love that the response code is 451. It's meant to replace a generic "404" for content unavailable specifically due to legal reasons. And of course 451 is referring to Ray Bradbury's book of the same name.

Wolfizen ,

Nice!!

Wolfizen ,

I miss the "good web".

We can contribute to making a part of it good again with one of these kinds of sites.

I did my part! It is a fun experience. No JS. No CDN. With a webring.

Wolfizen ,

I went to my town's Canada Day celebration this morning. It was really nice.

It was high time to get on board the furry train and stop just watching from the platform :) ...

Reference Sheet of a character based on the Egyptian God Anubis, anthropomorphized Jackal, fully black the with gold accents, wearing a blue and gold pagne, ornamented with the Ankh symbol. The character is view from the front and the back, and two headshots with a loving and an angry mood. The background has warm colors and flames.

Great design!!

Wolfizen OP ,

I see! That makes sense. Thank you :)

What do you prefer using?

Wolfizen OP ,

Absolutely!

What do you like about those that make your experience better?

Wolfizen OP ,

What is a "tmm" stack? Sorry for my ignorance.

Wolfizen OP ,

No TV, yes spouse. She prefers playing media from the network folder just like me.

Wolfizen OP ,

I'm a fan of simplicity.

Which software do you use to run your NAS? I have TrueNAS scale.

Wolfizen OP ,

Nice! Thank you for sharing your experience. :)

How did you get your NAS to know when it was being used?

Wolfizen OP ,

What are your reasons? Discovery / searching?

Wolfizen OP ,

Thanks for your experience.

It seems a common reason to set up a frontend is for family use. I suppose that is a logical extension of designing a system for its users - if someone wants to use it a certain way, they get to use it that way.

Wolfizen ,

The best illustrated page so far!

Wolfizen ,

Thanks OP for your code!

Mine is: WOLF888

On my DJI RC (version one) I can tap the camera button to the right of the EV display and it replaces my EV display with a larger combo display that has ISO and some other statistics / controls

Nice shot!

Guide and FAQ for new players to Star Trek Online (STO)

Star Trek Online can be a little intimidating, considering its' age. When I first started, I was very much unknowledgeable about the game and made some mistakes. I make this guide for new players to know what everything is and what they should do. This is a guide for new and returning players to STO that need some heads up. ...

Wolfizen ,

Thx! Many help :)

I just bought a Mini 3. Any tips?

Found DJI Air 2S in the Ocean ( www.reddit.com )

I stepped on something in about 4’ of water off the coast of Kauai, leaned down and picked up this Air2S. No idea how long it’s been underwater. Is there anything that can be with this? Obviously happy to have gotten it out of the ocean, but beyond that is it useful to anyone in this condition?

Wolfizen , (edited )

Finders of lost drones can try to contact DJI and share the serial number and your contact info. They might forward it to the registered owner.

Wolfizen ,

For readers in 2025 and later:

You need to ensure the seller unbinds their drone and RC from their account.

DJI has a new security policy that removes your ability to bind to a drone if it is still bound to another account.

Wolfizen ,

Thanks!
