You can do this in VLC, though it’s not very practical. VLC’s equalizer has a preamp slider, it’s just not great if you want to change it all the time.

Here’s a circular rainbow from an aircraft a skydiver:

EDIT: image embedding didn’t work

EDIT 2: not from a plane

EDIT 3: sorry for all the edits, fixed image

This is pretty cool, thanks.

It automatically replies when it can read/summarize a site, but that isn’t always possible (maybe it has problems with some paywalls).

If you decide to set up an SDR for ADS-B, you might want to consider setting up a WebSDR with something like OpenWebRX. This would let people listen to all the signals in the bandwidth that you set.

If you’re interested, receiverbook.de is a list of most WebSDRs.

Artemis Fowl (Book 1) (he’s the good guy in the following books)

Can I take one end of a cable with me?

What’s the max power I can get from the sockets?

Where does the eject button dump people and can it be set to dump things other than people as well?

Does time continue inside the pocket dimension if no one is inside?

What’s the internal temperature/humidity? Is it regulated?

Can I choose what I take with me, or is it just everything im wearing/carrying?

Questions aside, I would fill it with all sorts of stuff that I might need at some point, but leave enough space for a bed and a desk.

I don’t know enough about the lemmy server to say whether this is a regular issue. I’d just retry creating a user with the same email.

Did it show an error when you tried to confirm your email?

I’d like to elaborate a bit on why DNS can be used to track you.

Nearly all web traffic is encrypted (https), you can check by looking at the padlock next to the URL in your browser. But DNS requests aren’t encrypted by default. This means anyone, most likely your ISP our the admin of your home network, can see what domains you’re accessing. That means just google.com, lemmy.world, etc. and not lemmy.world/post/… This isn’t a huge amount of info, but it does tell anyone who’s looking approximately what you’re doing (googling something, looking at lemmy, etc.).

To fix that there are a few different ways to encrypt DNS requests, the most common of which (afaik) is DNS over HTTPS, which will encrypt DNS requests like any other web request your browser makes. I don’t know why this hasn’t been made the default yet. Firefox has a setting for DNS over HTTPS, it calls it secure DNS.

A small, cheap holographic projector (as in projects a glowing volumetric image into the air that I can wave my hand through). It would probably work using femtosecond lasers, but making the optics small and cheap would be difficult.

If I remember correctly, Peter later also became ruler of Earth just through his political influence.

Peter Wiggin (Locke) as well as his sister Valentine Wiggin (Demosthenes) are Ender Wiggin’s siblings. After Ender was

shipped off to military school at age 6

, Peter convinced his sister to write on “the Nets” about the war, posing as adults using the Pseudonyms Locke and Demosthenes. They managed to get a significant amount of influence, especially considering they were like 10 years old.

Also, relevant xkcd.

Yes, but it looks like it’s been inactive for a while:

Not a classic book, but Artemis Fowl. Disney managed to confuse fans of the books and newcomers to the series alike by adding a McGuffin that was unnecessary, bringing the antagonist from the second book into the movie on the first book, and mangling the relations between the two main protagonists beyond recognition.

Ahh, sorry my mistake. I remembered reading a headline somewhere about Google having already implemented it, but I didn’t check. Thanks!

It has allready been implemented in Chromium/Chrome (link). Websites only have to start using it.

Edit: see comment

Did you know that every Apollo mission carried multiple rolls of ordinary duct tape with them.

It was used occasionally to fix broken things like the Apollo 17 moonbuggy.

I know as little as you do about selfhosting, but I just want to point out, if ip a generates a convoluted/confusing output, I would recommend using hostname -I instead. It just prints out all your IP-addresses, with no additional info.
