I’m afraid to say that I too have been corrupted by VSCode.

It’s widely used, easy to get into, has LOTS of extensions, and works mostly the same across OS’es meaning it’s easy to setup by and explain to others.

The two extensions I’m missing most in other IDE/text editors would be the “Remote - SSH” extension by Microsoft, which gives unparalleled integration when working remote, and PlatformIO which, while it can be used independently in its core form, just works way better in VSCode.

Besides this, I’ll use Nano for small tasks and vi on embedded devices where Nano is unavailable, though, I’ll need a vi cheatsheet for anything more advanced than basic editing.

That’s weird. I just tested it with a friend (I’m on Endeavour, she’s on Win11, the server is VPS with Debian running the newest Synapse and Element-web). Audio works fine both ways with no mic config required, streaming is a little laggy when viewing the screen and stream next to each other, but that’s all.

EDIT: No, you’re right. Audio within streams seem to fail. I remember Discord having the same problem (hence why I use Vesktop), but if Windows also suffers this shortcoming? I’m pretty sure I remember it working a month ago, so there should be a bug report in Synapse (or element).

Element has audio issues on Linux? Didn’t notice it when I tested whether Matrix had what I needed (a month past). I’ll see if it screws up if I try again now.

Element already has desktop streaming as an experimental feature. Worked fine last i tested it. Currently planning how to trick my social circle into using it.

I also want to go check out the new TeamSpeak, it’s supposed to be a decent Discord alternative - Even though Discord originally replaced it.

Go tell 'em! Why have alternatives if we can just put all our eggs in one, holey, basket?

Found the answer in the parent thread, thank you @Quibblekrust@thelemmy.club:

That’s a mention, not a tag. A tag is a private description you save about a user. Only apps have this fearure.

It’s a little weird that they took a well established term (in social media context: tag, id by which to mention a user, also known as ‘tagging’) and gave it a wholly different meaning (tag: label).

This is what we are talking about, right? Tagging others?

But the other comments seem to be talking about some kind of labelling. Did Lemmy add a new feature that I’m unaware of?

Well, I got that, but that’s also pretty much the only thing it mentions. What were the results? Was it better then the last generation? How will it change warfare in the future (beyond Gaza)?

I’m gonna ignore the deeply unethical application under which this mysterious and barely named new rocket was tested, since that hardly is relevant to this community and better discussed elsewhere.

EDIT: Sorry, that last paragraph should have an “I think” in there, since I’m no mod and am purely voicing my opinion about low quality and (what I find to be) barely relevant posts in this community.

Hmm, this seems more about economics and politics than technology.

Like, what exactly is the new type of Bar rocket and how does it compare to the older rockets? I see it being mentioned as a replacement for Rumach rockets, but the only details are that it’s got some unnamed “guidance mechanism specifically designed for difficult combat environments” and that it’s rapid fire (compared to some other unnamed rocket?).

Seeing these errors means “the SSD is on its way out,” according to HTWingNut.

Since we’re simply talking about being unpowered for a while, wouldn’t a simple full format fix/reset all ECC errors? No need to scrap the drive.

Surely a cap/transistor temporarily losing charge shouldn’t permanently destroy it!

Anyways, HDD for 6-24 months offline data storage, SSD for always-online data storage, and flash if you’re a masochist like me.

I returned them. And I did indeed get the name wrong as they are a series of WiFi mesh towers named ‘Deco X20’ and not ‘Deca’.

I do already use DD-WRT in my home network, but these were meant to provide a network-on-a-budget out in the field, aka. a stand-in for professional solutions which other people should be able to set up too, so I wanted to modify them as little as possible.

WiFi extenders do technically fit my requirements (and I’ve got them working mostly successful), but, as far as I’m aware, mesh is specifically made for the purpose of having a seamless WiFi device transfer from one tower to another, and where one can form a circle or “spiderweb” pattern with the signal taking the best (distance/speed/reliability) route back to the router - which is what I need.

Ubiquity seems to have gained traction lately, so I’ll throw them an E-Mail whether their devices are too smart to be usable too.

Yeah, I even wrote TP-Link an E-mail about this, but they wrote back that that was just how the device worked, that they could not recommend any of their mesh solutions which could provide a stable WiFi connection even without internet, and that they obviously couldn’t recommend any devices from competitors.

My image of TP-Link might have taken a hit as result as I believed this to be a fundamental and implied feature.

I’m also looking for a good WiFi mesh, preferably one that can be used with IoT devices (aka. Even without an internet connection).

I tried TP-Link Deca, but the mesh refuses LAN communication if the router doesn’t have a constant and stable connection to the internet - A feature I previously believed to be given - making it unusable for IoT and for providing WiFi at remote locations.

I do agree.

Some people might need access to those sites for various reasons (journalists making research, keeping in contact with friends overseas, etc.). But we ought to inform the european population about the dangers of using those services, and preferably move politics and country-specific communication (your local police station social media account) onto european solutions.

Cutting off or limiting the profits which american megacorps can make off the european population does also sound like a good idea.

Right, please excuse us.

I’ve already read and voted on that post. It did give me a rather negative view of the buyeuropean mods, but i still think their work is commendable. If nothing else, then at least for running the community.

Im not very appreciative of your attempts to trap me using loaded questions. When have I ever mentioned America? I’m pretty sure that I have only ever argued for a EU-only community, and not a “EU+everyone except other non-EU european countries” community. Are european countries favorable compared to the USA? Of course they are! But that’s not what I’m arguing in the first place, so please let’s keep on topic.

Looking at this comms name, I’m rather sure that the rules are meant to be european (union), which, sadly, might be an error similar to those from the USA wrongfully calling their country “America”.

Regarding CM’s online status, I checked that they: made the account, made a few posts, made the comm, and the went offline. Likely someone testing out the waters and unlikely to return. In other words: This community does indeed have a dark future and should be evacuated.

Now, regarding why I’d want a EU-only community which does not encompass the UK, Norway, Switzerland, etc.: I want goods that I know adhere to EU standards (not russian, not Norwegian, not UK), and/or which are shipped from inside the EU (eg. not russian, not Norwegian, not UK, not even the USA (???)) so I don’t have to pay that stupid import handling fee of 25€ for my 2€ pack of chinese assorted transistors shipped from the UK.

In other words: I’m not attacking the existential rights of the ‘buyeuropean’ community - I think that community is great when looking for european goods - but I’m instead looking for a community specific to the EU. Again, not a community for EU+USA, not a “russia and friends”, not a “buyworldwide”, but a “buyfromEU”.

At last I’d like to apologize, for if this didn’t make my stance clear, then I’m unsure how to convey it to you.

Fine, in that case i propose we make another community for those of us who want EU goods, so we don’t confuse them with european goods. Happy?

That might be, but it is not specific to the EU, and therefore not relevant to those of us looking for EU goods.

Or !buyfromeu@feddit.org if you want to make sure they adhere to EU laws.

Lol, never mind, that’s where you posted it in the first place. Nice to see that the community is already gaining traction. :P
