Has anyone realized that you could post your videos to your Peertube and have YouTube pull them in via the Podcast RSS Feed? Or am I the only one that didn't realize this? Which means you don't have to upload to YouTube AND Peertube. You can upload to Peertube and YouTube will grab it for you […]

Today the Vulkan Working Group has released two important updates to the API and ecosystem: an entirely new Descriptor system and the Vulkan Roadmap 2026 Milestone. Initial support for these features is expected in the next Vulkan SDK release planned for Q1 […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]

Recent news about the OnePlus brand has freaked out some of its longtime users. Certainly it didn’t help that when I went to a T-Mobile store recently, the salesperson didn’t know what OnePlus was, despite the fact her store used to sell them […]

my husband's new Windows 11 computer suddenly stopped outputting audio to the 3.5mm headphones. I clicked the audio troubleshooting button in Settings. It did not send me to the troubleshooter, but instead redirected me to install a help app. (yes, it wasn't even pre-installed.) The help app […]

@PiecesOfKate Is there a possibility of some blog posts this year? Hope you're doing well.

@SharkaBytes Do you already follow @nicole & @SuperSelena64 ? If not, I think you'll find them as kindred spirits here.

Agrivoltaics boost crop yields even when the solar panels aren’t generating power. New research from Canada shows that shading crops with elevated solar panels creates a cooler, wetter microclimate that can lift yields and improve performance across dozens of crops, from peppers to pasture grass […]

It looks like I have been made a participant in a historical moment!! #GlobalTalk #snow#globaltalk@nulleric

One of my biggest #retrogaming issues is re-releases seldom include the manual. The actual, printed, full-color manual with art, maps, diagrams. Players were expected to read the manual before playing from at least the NES era to PS2 era, and a lot of description/story is simply not in the game […]

Lately I have noticed that when you purchase a ticket you don’t get a static PDF/PNG anymore. Increasingly often, you get a .pkpass file, which is supposed to be opened in wallet apps (like Google Wallet or any 3rd-party). Since I don’t like to share information about the events I attend with […]

Hi #retrocomputing #retro peoples, I've got an HP D510C/845G machine, part number 268899-999 that needs a CPU- everything else is in the machine except for the CPU. What should I get (including fans, and paste recommendations)? #askfedi

This Firefox mess is very upsetting. They've always had questionable leadership, but also played a very important role outside of just being "open." Having been in tech for a fairly long time I have seen the destruction caused when open standards like HTML are taken over by a single dominant […]
