Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how? in c/patientgamers@sh.itjust.works

Very interesting. Are those custom maps on the Steam Workshop?

What do we do when all the crts are gone? in c/retrogaming@lemmy.world

I think early generation CRTs had mercury and lead in them, which made them not enviromentally friendly. Not too sure if there are any modern materials which can replace the hazardous ones.

Google can gargle my LineageOS (Just managed to install LineageOS after waiting nearly a week for Motorola to allow bootloader unlocking) in c/android@lemmy.world

I'm still sad that ASUS no longer allows bootloader unlocking for their Zenfones.

I remember back in the day when i was muckimg around with my HTC Desire Z, there were loada of custom ROMs out there and I don't think there were device blobs back then? If that could be done back in the day, it should still be do-able now? Unless Android has become so much more complicated now that it is a very big task?

Murena's HIROH Phone is a premium smartphone that runs de-Googled Android & has privacy kill switches in c/android@lemdro.id

LOL.

It would be great if there were more options for phone sizes. Not everyone wants a device they needs ro use both hands just to type message or even the most basic task of reaching the top of the screen without adjusting the grip.

So yeah, most phones are phablet sized. :p

Ender 3 v2 and new to 3D printing in c/3dprinting@lemmy.world
[–] root@aussie.zone 2 points 3 months ago (6 children)

I have and still use an Ender 3 V2.

One of the many upgrades which i think makes the most improvent / quality of life upgrade is the Z level probe. Either a BL touch or a CR touch will work. It helped me tram the bed as well as built a mesh of the bed.

"Professional firmware" is also a good upgrade. Lots of improvements over the stock Creality firmware.

Once you have been printing with it for some time and feel like tinkering a bit more, "Belted Z" mod for the Ender 3 v2 is another upgrade I did which was really great. It replaces 1 lead screw for 2 belts on each end of the X gantry to prevent sagging.

I also recently upgraded from the stock ender glass beds and replaced it with PEI sheets. I get the choice of either textured or smooth beds and the prints pop right off. No need to wait for it to cool down or having to pop it in the freezer. LOL

What are some games with absolutely fantastic soundtracks? in c/patientgamers@sh.itjust.works
[–] root@aussie.zone 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Rebel Galaxy - country rock genre? Very unique and different sort of music.

Trine 1 & 2 + Transport Fever 1 - instrumental background music good for concentration, working, studying or just relaxing.

Poll: Which abandoned Android phone features do you miss the most? in c/android@lemdro.id
[–] root@aussie.zone 12 points 4 months ago

Sub 5" screen, 3.5mm jack, removable battery, 2-stage camera shutter button.

My old Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact had all of those, except for the removable battery.

My Zenfone 8 has two out of those three features. ;p

Using curlftpfs with jellyfin to access media stored on old NAS? (aussie.zone)
 

Hi all. Very new potential jellyfin user trying to set things up.

I have one of those mini fanless mini PC boxes with Proxmox and pfsense installed. Jellyfin has been installed as a lxc via one of the helper scripts. Set it up and it works fine.

I'm now trying to set it up to access an old Netgear ReadyNAS NV+ that I have lying around. It's been setup with SMB/CIFS as well as FTP access. I'm considering disabling SMB/CIFS access since I think I don't need that anymore. I think the NAS only supports TLS 1.2 protocol and it's probably safer to disable it security wise. After searching around, I've come across curlftpfs which seems to be able to mount a ftp server as a local directly which i can then use as a library for jellyfin.

Is this the best way or is there a better alternative I can consider?

Thanks.

Noticed a strange occurrence where my monitor buttons will not react to presses when certain conditions are met (aussie.zone)
 

I have an Acer XV340CKP monitor connected via Display Port to my GPU. I also have a old LG W2253TQ that I use as a secondary display. It only has a DVI and VGA port. I have a DVI-DVI cable together with a DVI-Display Port converter to connect to my GPU, which is an Asus RX6900XT. I am running Nobara 38.

I have observed that if I were to have my Acer monitor powered when I switch on my desktop, all the monitor buttons do not respond. None of the menu buttons, not even the power button responds. When I switch off the desktop, the monitor stays on. The only way to power it down is to unplug the power cable.

However, if I were to only have the LG monitor powered when I switch on my desktop, all the buttons on the Acer monitor works.

I believe everything was working previously in Nobara 37. I think this issue probably started happening in the recent month or two.

Is this even possible, where the graphics card sends a malformed signal to the monitor and prevents the buttons from working?
