Hard time with an HDMI switch in c/[email protected]

[–] encrust9870 2 points 3 weeks ago

I have an HDMI switch that starts acting up if the power cable gets loose. Why does the power cable get loose? No idea, but it's also a cheap nobrand switch. This probably isn't your issue, but try pushing the barrel connector in more or try a power supply that supports a higher current (same output voltage). I only mention it because I only managed to "fix" my switch by noticing it was just a mm out of the jack.

Hypodermic needle with red blood cells under an electron microscope in c/pics

[–] encrust9870 30 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm assuming if the syringe was wet before being placed in the microscope, the vacuum of the chamber would cause most of the water in the plasma to vaporize. The remaining salts and compounds would be much smaller than the red blood cells. The density of the red blood cells would be much larger than any remaining plasma, so the bulk of your backscattered electrons will be coming from the cells and needle, making the plasma essentially transparent. This is a fairly low magnification image for SEM, but that's how you get such fantastic depth of field.

This is great! If I ever get a minute from playing Balatro from the Steam sale I'll try some out!

I saw this a bit ago and I think it's really creative. I won't use it though because I'm not a cat person. If there are any other unique ones out there (not just a distro logo with flair), I'd be interested.

Does she have a name? What do you call her? in c/[email protected]

No name, but for the longest time, I thought she was a man with a big mustache.

What would you put in the bowl? in c/[email protected]

You really need to try mixing the candy corn with salted peanuts. 👁️👄👁️👌

Can I fix an AUR package myself? in c/[email protected]

[–] encrust9870 2 points 3 months ago

Did you change something in the license file yourself? Check your yay cache and perhaps delete the cached files for this package.

While there seem to be other issues with the PKGBUILD (typo for example), this seems like a problem with your local setup and not the package. Note that using AUR helpers like yay are not supported, so check if the package builds correctly manually.

This one time at the Champaign Blues, Brews, and Barbecues festival, I opened a port-a-potty and there was a woman on top of a man inside having some fun, so I apologized and shut the door.

I plan on installing some water to feed my garden later this summer. I was considering PVC, but is this a better case for metal? How does the plastic handle the UV from the sun? I thought outdoor might be gray PVC, but I was thinking underground PVC with galvanized above.

Have a low flush toilet that doesn't flush much? Keep a container nearby, fill it up with water, and pour it in the bowl as you flush. in c/lifeprotips

Are you sure you just don't have the water level in the tank set right?

I made a quick template sensor to pull in data from AirNow. After, I then found out about the post at https://lemmy.world/post/730349, but I thought it might still be useful to share for a quick glance.

template:
  - sensor:
     - name: "Air Quality"
       unique_id: "airnowaqitemplate"
       state: >
         {% set aqi = states('sensor.airnow_air_quality_index') | int %}
         {% if aqi <= 50 %}
           Good
         {% elif aqi <= 100 %}
           Moderate
         {% elif aqi <= 150 %}
           Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups
         {% elif aqi <= 200 %}
           Unhealthy
         {% elif aqi <= 300 %}
           Very Unhealthy
         {% elif aqi >= 301 %}
           Hazardous
         {% else %}
           Unknown
         {% endif %}
       icon: >
         {% set aqi = states('sensor.airnow_air_quality_index') | int %}
         {% if aqi <= 50 %}
           mdi:emoticon-happy
         {% elif aqi <= 100 %}
           mdi:emoticon-neutral
         {% elif aqi <= 150 %}
           mdi:emoticon-sad
         {% elif aqi <= 200 %}
           mdi:emoticon-sick
         {% elif aqi <= 300 %}
           mdi:emoticon-dead
         {% elif aqi >= 301 %}
           mdi:skull-crossbones
         {% else %}
           mdi:minus-circle
         {% endif %}
       availability: "{{ has_value('sensor.airnow_air_quality_index') }}"

The github link or the pseudotv link on the github page? I had to download the zip from the zips folder on github and then install it from zip on Kodi (kodi.tv). Note that this would be an unsupported add-on, so use at your own risk!
