That's cool! What software are you using for drawing/animation?

Is there an android app (without using root) that lets you set a timer to automatically reboot if you haven't unlocked it for some time? (In order to turn AFU mode back to BFU mode) in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

ShizuTools allows you to run ADB command through intents, which means that you can use Tasker (or other similar app) to run the ADB reboot command. I tested this part and it works.
The problem is that you would need to start Shizuku manually after each restart.
Searching TaskerNet for shizuku, I was able to find some projects that can start shizuku for you, although I haven't tried them out.

So, it does seem possible, but with quite a bit of setup.

Yeah, thats pretty much how I used it, it's almost always almost full haha.
So what are some things you can do to make sure your SSD lasts longer?

SSD Endurance question. (discuss.tchncs.de)
submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
9 comments fedilink
 

So, I have Crucial MX500 SSD, and on their spec sheet, the SSD Endurance TBW is 180TB

Crystal Disk Info says the health is at 33% Health, despite Total Host Writes being 54039 GB (30% of specified SSD endurance TBW of 180TB)

So is their specified endurance wrong, is the Total Host Writes data in Crystal Disk Info misleading or wrong, or is there more things that go into determining the "health" of an SSD besides Total Bytes Written? Or could it be that I mistreated the SSD causing its health to get worse?

Do you think kids should be prohibited from using social media? If yes, how should it be done? If no, why? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

I saw this article, which made me think about it...

Kids under 16 to be banned from social media after Senate passes world-first laws

Seeing what kind of brainrot kids are watching, makes me think it's a good idea. I wouldn't say all content is bad, but most kids will get hooked on trash content that is intentionally designed to grab their attention.

What would be an effective way to enforce a restriction with the fewest possible side effects? And who should be the one enforcing that restriction in your opinion?

Figuring out which RAM stick is faulty (discuss.tchncs.de)
submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
15 comments fedilink
 

So I've been getting the occasional BSOD and it recently started getting a bit more frequent, so I decided to run a memtest86 over night to check if it's maybe the RAM causing it.
I got 1 error, so then I tested each stick, 1 by 1 (every new stick I would test I also put in a different slot) but I only tested first 3 sticks, thinking that the last one is faulty, since they all passed the test, but yesterday I decided to test the last one as well and that one passed as well. So now I'm confused, not sure what to do...
I was running on 3 sticks for 2 days and I didn't get BSOD, but that still means nothing because it was rare occurrence anyways.

Should I test all of the sticks again? Is there a better test I should be using instead?

(RAM is not OC'd btw)

Mastodon's federation consistency is ~~laughably bad.~~ confusing. (discuss.tchncs.de)
submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
27 comments fedilink
 

Edit: After reading your comments, and testing some more, I must say that I've misunderstood how it all works.
I should've thought of Mastodon users like separate Lemmy communities...but not exactly. What confused me is the fact that you could look up a profile on a remote instance and see their posts, but they would be very delayed. On Lemmy, if your instance hasn't "discovered" a community, you wouldn't see it at all.

I followed a random user (whos posts were last synced many days ago), and it started syncing normally (it took ~1h for it to start, but it seems like it worked and now it's syncing their posts "in real time").

~~By accident I noticed that one instance had more japanese posts in the all feed than the other one. I thought maybe the other instance has certain languages filtered or they might be defederated from certain instances, but neither was the case. I found out that the other instance just fetches the posts from other instances much slower (days).~~

~~Then I decided to open 10+ (popular to fairly popular) instances and compare how quickly or slowly they sync with each other.~~

~~It's really bad and really random. Some instances sync perfectly with each other, some take hours, some take days, some take months...
I do not use Mastodon but if I did, finding that out would just make me not want to use it.~~

~~It reminds me of that time when there was a bug in Lemmy which made the federation broken, and that was very annoying, but we knew that there was a bug and that it was being worked on, and it was fixed fairly quickly.~~

~~But on Mastodon, from what I've seen, it doesn't even depend on the version the server is running, it truly just seems random.~~

~~It just seems odd to me that Mastodon (more popular and older software than Lemmy) would have such a glaring issue.~~

~~Wouldn't that be the first priority of every federated platform? For federation to work properly, because if it doesn't, then it can't compete with the centralized ones at all.~~

Thinking about creating a new community for sharing imaginary art, but I have some concerns... (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

You probably know about those imaginary art subreddits, where you can share art with specific theme (e.g., ImaginaryMonsters where you can share artwork with...imaginary monsters, yes) and there is a bunch of these. I was thinking of making one community that I would call something like ImaginaryAnything where people could share art with any theme, and just mention the theme in the title, instead of having 100s of communities for each specific one, since lemmy is pretty small still. There already are some specific imaginary communities on lemmy but non of them are really active.

My main concern is copyright issues, would there be any? I wouldn't want to cause the instance admin any problems. Every post would be required to credit the author and to link the source, but could images hosted on the instance cause problems? In case they could, would linking the source image link instead of uploading it to the instance avoid such problem?

Add "Create an account" button on join-lemmy server picker page (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

Just noticed that unlike mastodons join page, lemmy doesn't have a "join" or "create an account" button. It'd be nice to have one, it would be more straightforward to join.

Or perhaps there is a reason why it doesn't exist?

I'm picking frog (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

Added an initial Anti-Cheat detection system. When a user is detected as cheating, during the game session the opponents will be given a choice between banning the user immediately and ending the match or turning the cheater into a frog for the rest of the game and then banning them afterwards. The system is set to conservative detection levels as we work on a v2 anti-cheat system that is more extensive. We will turn on the banning of users in a couple of days after the update is out. When a match is ended this way, the results will not count for other players.
