Which came first, the chicken or the soup?
+R.
If you’d asked me, I’d have said that I always bought -R, but I guess I was different person back then.
I made some DVDs for someone recently. First I had to dig out my old laptop that has a drive. Then install authoring and burning software.
All the help forum posts that I found were at least 15 years old, I’m amazed that any of the recommended software still existed.
I found that I still had two plastic tubes of DVD+Rs!

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Yacht Trouble? 7 Common Problems & Fixes
3·8 days agoNo, I think that those are those ring things with a hole in them.
That sounds worth investigating, thanks! Amcrest needs an account for notifications afaik, but the Pro cameras can work just on a local network.
The app for them is awful. Then they made a new version that is awful in slightly different ways, so I’m interested in new options.
It mentions push notifications and emails, so I guess they must require an account, or can you configure them to use SMTP directly, as with the Amcrest Pro cameras?

1·25 days agoI tested some more and can’t get it to work any more. I found a post saying it worked in 1.5.2 so maybe something broke in newer versions.

2·25 days agoYou need to enable Bluetooth as a method of connection in the app settings (and can turn off wifi and data there).
The phones can be in airplane mode but with Bluetooth turned back on (as you would to use earbuds).
I don’t recall pairing the phones, but there is a “connect via Bluetooth” option on each chat that might be doing that automatically.
You link accounts to each other by scanning qr codes.
It does have a group chat but I haven’t used it, so I don’t know if that works with Bluetooth alone.
I just tried testing this with an old phone of mine, but can’t get it to work right now (maybe because it has Graphene os?), but I have actually used it on flights in the past.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Using rsync for backups, because it's not shiny and newEnglish
3·26 days agoI have it add a backup suffix based on the date. It moves changed and deleted files to another directory adding the date to the filename.
It can also do hard-link copied so that you can have multiple full directory trees to avoid all that duplication.
No file deltas or compression, but it does mean that you can access the backups directly.

2·1 month agoI’m sorry if I offend, but… Is this the output of an LLM?
While it doesn’t have many of the tells, the overall tone and structure of it plus the “polished” feel give me that AI vibe.

It’s a watering can’t.
