Do you use your Deck for non-gaming purposes? If so, what do you use it for?
  • I use it as a general purpose computer. I set up an encrypted home partition by more or less following this guide: https://github.com/hirak99/steam_deck_encryption. I have a bag that nicely fits the deck, charging cable, dock, and a 60% keyboard for travel.

  • Another wild thought: Biden could test the limits of presidential immunity.

  • What's the longest you've ever had to wait in line to vote? Where in the world?
  • 10 minutes, from leaving home to getting back to home, by foot. I have always had a polling place withing walking distance, and have never seen a line more than a few people.

    I lived in a city of 25,000 people, a city of 200,000 people, and a city of 10,000 people, all in western NY.

    I always vote before 8am.

    America is ratchet
  • Support and vote for progressive candidates in primaries.

  • What were or are your thoughts on the US Pres. Debate?
  • They should do another debate next week between two people who are not running and can actually answer questions and talk about policy. Just to show us what we could have. Elizabeth Warren vs Mitt Romney.

    Then a Bill Clinton vs George W Bush rematch.

  • What would your political compromise be?
  • Climate change: do they have to pay to clean it up before or after it hurts people?

    Immigration: We already do not allow employers to hire people without their paperwork in order. The issue is way more complex than that.

    Trump: I 100% support replacing Congress and POTUS with a Parliament and Prime Minister, and would compromise by making POTUS a ceremonial office with the only function being wearing a bald eagle costume at international sporting events, and letting Trump do it until he quits after being tackled by the Canadian in a maple syrup bottle costume.

  • Does anybody know an open source self hosted application to create diagrams? Like draw.io or something like that
  • They added:

    1. None of the Work may be used in any form as part, or whole, of an integration, plugin or app that integrates with Atlassian's Confluence or Jira products.
  • Two men dead, six others injured after semi truck hits a group of motorcyclists
  • Until paragraph 11 you would be forgiven for thinking that the semi-truck was autonomous.

  • EV prices need to drop by one third if Canada wants to hit sales targets, says gov't report
  • Sounds like Canada should put a 50% tax on gasoline powered vehicles.

  • Router died - Replacement/solution recommendations
  • Can't you just not use their cloud services? It makes you create an account for setup, but once setup was done I never touched it.

  • Router died - Replacement/solution recommendations
  • I do not know what you mean by third-party integrations. I do not use any cloud stuff, Ubiquiti's or otherwise.

  • Router died - Replacement/solution recommendations
  • I used to use OpenWRT on various devices, but two years ago I got a UDM-Pro, a USW-16-POE, and a few Unifi APs and cameras. I run pi-hole on the UDM-Pro. I have no complaints. It is more expensive than piecing it all together using OpenWRT and some Raspberry PIs, but way easier.

  • Self-Hosted setup for remote music lessons?
  • You could use multiple USB microphones and do the mixing in software. I prefer using an audio interface (e.g. UMC204HD) because it is simpler to set up and adjust levels, and because it lets you use any widely available microphone, or plug in an instrument (e.g.: electric guitar, electric piano). You can plug your headphones into the audio interface and adjust the relative level of your own sound and what is coming from the computer (e.g.: your teacher). sweetwater.com has the UMC204HD and the UMC404HD on sale right now.

    I do not have any experience with pick-up mics.

  • Self-Hosted setup for remote music lessons?
  • I tried Jitsi, but was unable to match Zoom's audio quality.

    The difference between Jitsi and Zoom was noticeable, but less important than the difference between the mic built in to the webcam and good mics. I use an SM58 for voice and an SM137 pointed at the cello just below the bridge, through a UMC204HD.

  • Donald Trump Photo Without Ear Bandage Raises Eyebrows
  • Prosthetic makeup is a thing. In that photo, he does not look like he was painted with an orange marker by a three-year-old. The news here is that he got a new makeup team.

  • Officers Texted Each Other About Trump Shooter but Didn’t Approach Him
  • Conspiracy theorists who do not know that deodorant exists of course do not know that prosthetic makeup exists.
