Randonneuring
long-distance unsupported endurance cycling. This style of riding is non-competitive in nature, and self-sufficiency is paramount. When riders participate in randonneuring events, they are part of a long tradition that goes back to the beginning of the sport of cycling in France and Italy.
But surely, a 3D printer could/can. It's just that the software that runs on it shouldn't have shit security and there should be multiple safeguards and redundant fail-safe systems.
Djent is a subgenre of progressive metal characterized by its use of complex and heavily syncopated rhythm patterns, pioneered by the Swedish band, Meshuggah. Its distinctive sound is that of high-gain, distorted, palm-muted, down-tuned strings. The name "djent" is an onomatopoeia of this sound.

I did this with /r/Cardano mods back before Reddit was blocking all mention of the fediverse even in PM’s. I managed to get one of them to help mod my Cardano communities. I’d wager that it’s exceedingly hard to get in touch with mods over there now that Huffman is blocking fediverse recruitment.
Actually, this is a good reminder that the average person who hates NFT's is a complete hivemind idiot, equating all NFT's to moonboi scams when NFT's are simply UUID's for blockchain technologies.
a good reminder that NFT's are simply unique identifiers in blockchain technologies and just like UUID's in most software engineering are not, indeed, shit, NFT's also aren't.

I have just spent almost 5 days trying to rid the interference noise (and at one point the radio) from my speakers that started when I setup my new Behringer audio interface.
Signal chain: Peavey Classic 20 MH -> XLR -> Audio Interface -> NAD hifi amp -> speakers.
I must have tried at least 20 different things, so many youtube videos, including complete rewire of pc cables, usb, power cables. Different power outlets, with and without the UPS, extension cables from different floors of the house, turning off the tumble dryer, removing smart plugs, different cables, different usb ports, turning everything but the amp and interface off. Bought a noise canceling usb (ifi Defender+)- made things maybe a bit better when unpowered, made things worse when powered. So much crawling around under my desk! It was only an issue when the XLR was connected from my guitar amp, whether the amp was on or not - XLR unplugged PC audio was fine. Thought I'd try a different power cable to the amp - unplug the existing one and all hell break loose - SO MUCH NOISE AND INTERFERENCE!! Give up on the power cable idea. Then I unplugged the XLR and decided to try the headphone output of my guitar amp in to the interface. Whilst reaching around the back of the amp I see a small switch labelled "ground lift". Press it. Problem solved! Almost no noise. If I had happened to have that pressed when I bought the amp over a year ago I'd have had no problems. FFS!
And now the ifi Defender+ does work and has made everything perfectly quiet when nothings playing. No more annoying noises when I move the mouse with a fuzz pedal on. Really nice, so a pretty good result overall, but so much effort!
So remember kids, if you have a noise issue, check if your equipment has a ground lift button. I didn't see a single YT video that mentioned ground lift and I didn't even know they existed or that my amp had the button even after I was sure it was a ground loop issue.
This is a barely-disguised ad.
https://youtu.be/JWp9Ha0gWfY?t=1181 is my favorite part. He has clearly had enough of Billy's shit at this point in the rig rundown. I'm laughing my ass off and it's not even over yet.

About 8 months ago I got pretty tired of seeing billionaire spam online. I could not bear to read about yet another rich guy who launched themselves (or their $200,000 car) into outer space 🚀 . I did not care about their expert opinion on the latest meme coin back then. I do not care about their expert opinion on the dangers of AI today.
So... I developed a tiny, free, and open source Firefox browser add-on called "Block the Rich". It is completely local and private. No data is tracked. No data is phoned home.
The concept is pretty simple: whenever I load a web page, the extension quickly analyzes the content and intelligently blurs out any references to the Forbes Top 10 Billionaires. Some former and wannabe billionaires are blurred out of courtesy as well (I'm looking at you Trump and Kanye 🙄).
This project is a very early prototype that I built in the span of a few days. I have so many awesome ideas for enhancements but the truth is that the wind got completely knocked out of my sails when I put myself out there on Reddit many moons ago. There was absolutely zero public interest. To this day my wife and I are the only ones using the original prototype.
People of Lemmy, do you think there is a place on the internet for such a project, or is it time that I let it go?
Mlem: missing a lot of features but the ones that they have work very well. This one feels the most native because it is. This is my current choice because it is actually native and open source. That icon is ugly as hell, though.
Voyager: this one is a month ahead on features of ALL other lemmy apps. this one is the most feature-rich in that they have the ability to edit posts and do all kinds of other stuff. The non-native web app aspect causes it to lose LOTS of points in my book
Memmy: this one was easily my favorite but the recent updates have started to show how poorly architected it is. They have a TON of work to do under the hood to make this one feel solid again..and honestly, I sincerely think it may never feel as responsive and snappy because they made the strange decision to make an iOS only app in react native....
Liftoff: this one is pretty good but it just goes too far from the standard that Apollo set that I feel awkward in it.
Bean: this one is early days but already has some cool stuff that I wish other apps had (the profile button at the bottom has the icon from the currently signed-in user) I had been asking for that feature from other devs for FAR too long.
This glitch is annoying. This link/project is dead in so many different ways.
It’s not open source.
The site is down.
NodeRed actually does what this non-working app says it does.
This is a great way to check whether the horrible asshole mods from /r/guitar are moderating here without specifically asking. 😂
A few of the communities that I created here, I probably wouldn’t want to mod long-term. They’re a piece of cake at the moment but if the fediverse were to blow up, I’d have to hand them over to someone with more time.
!krita@lemmy.world , !gimp@lemmy.world , !darktable@lemmy.world , !guitaramps@lemmy.world , !offset@lemmy.world , !machinists@lemmy.world and a few others were just created to keep those names in safe hands and I’d prefer to safeguard them until I can pass them on to another person who is deeply committed to the collaborative spirit of FOSS and wants to run a community with fair and gentle moderation, no gate-keeping, and not ban-happy like /r/guitar on Reddit.
I only go there to steal content that I then enhance manually. I always had a kneejerk reaction against the hackernews reposts on Reddit. So, I try to make my content cloning less conspicuous and I make sure to enhance the content with more depth when I bring it here.
It's kind of a ghost town so far. But if we can wrestle control of social media away from corporate control, democracy across the world will be stronger for it. Regardless, I'm here for the long haul, making contributions FAR exceeding my efforts on Reddit.
Capitalism turns anyone into a fucking soulless ghoul.
