  • cool. I probably wouldn't have started this community had I been able to find it in a search.

    Could you possibly link it? Even knowing it exists, I am STILL unable to find it in a search even when I search from my kbin account.

    KBin's cool and all (might even end up being better than lemmy in the long run) but it is in a WAY earlier stage of dev than Lemmy and it shows.

    long-distance unsupported endurance cycling. This style of riding is non-competitive in nature, and self-sufficiency is paramount. When riders participate in randonneuring events, they are part of a long tradition that goes back to the beginning of the sport of cycling in France and Italy.

    Djent is a subgenre of progressive metal characterized by its use of complex and heavily syncopated rhythm patterns, pioneered by the Swedish band, Meshuggah. Its distinctive sound is that of high-gain, distorted, palm-muted, down-tuned strings. The name "djent" is an onomatopoeia of this sound.

    What phone/OS are you using right now along with what OS you would like to try?
  • iPhone 14 Pro w/ iOS 17 developer beta.

    Honestly, if NixOS ever comes to a phone in any real way, I’ll probably eventually switch.

    iOS is solid as hell compared to Android, IMO and I have a love- hate relationship with swift; wish I could use Haskell for a native iPhone app.

    It's time to take advantage of Reddit's decline
  • I did this with /r/Cardano mods back before Reddit was blocking all mention of the fediverse even in PM’s. I managed to get one of them to help mod my Cardano communities. I’d wager that it’s exceedingly hard to get in touch with mods over there now that Huffman is blocking fediverse recruitment.

    A good reminder that NFTs are shit
  • You know more about proof of stake than me? 🤣🤣🤣

    I’m a dApp developer who works on DApps that run on PoS chains and I’m also a stake pool operator. 🤣🤣🤣

    Did I ever assert that a decentralized solution was better for power consumption? Why would I say that? It’s not true. Decentralization adds overhead of course. I was asserting that Proof of Stake is VASTLY more energy efficient than Proof of Work.

    Your whole reply seems woefully uninformed about the mechanics (or even the existence) of digital identity and how even after a centralized entity exists doing on chain verifications, those verifications can live on as long as those wallets are functioning. It’s being talked about in regards to land deeds that can survive changes in power structures and authority. Identity and possession that can survive anything (as long as earth’s electronics aren’t wiped out by a EMP from the sun).

    I'm also very excited about the possibilities of homomorphic encryption when it comes to being able to operate on data that remains obfuscated. That has all kinds of applications for democracy but I digress. Subscribe to my community (https://infosec.pub/c/blockchainvoting) if you're interested too.

  • Look into proof of stake. Also a centralized database has many applications just as a decentralized public ledger has many applications. I wouldn’t, for example, implement liquid democracy on a centralized chain because that would invite corruption from that central entity.

    A good reminder that NFTs are shit
  • Agreed on all points. Thanks for speaking reasonably. I too think the technology is INCREDIBLY promising but also acknowledge that it is in its infancy....and will continue to be because of the hivemind.

    I think crypto technologies could work toward making a better democracy and other applications of a public ledger. I think it is currently the best solution to a decentralized, open source way to add incentive to the act of running public infrastucture. It's actually my hope that perhaps it can be used to incentivize the act of running a lemmy/kbin instance (for instance).

    I absolutely despise the moonboi bullshit and am honestly only in it for the technology and its relevance to the realization of a truly borderless, open source, anarcho-syndicalist, cypherpunk way of life. I want to own my property and I want to help use technology to make corruption impossible....and NFT's, as a technology, are currently a key part to one of the best solutions to many of these issues. They, like crypto, are misunderstood.

    To analogize my sentiment: it feels like the hivemind is espousing the benefits of for-profit healthcare that kills 70k people/year in the US while Single Payer stares them straight in the face around the world.

  • Actually, this is a good reminder that the average person who hates NFT's is a complete hivemind idiot, equating all NFT's to moonboi scams when NFT's are simply UUID's for blockchain technologies.

    > I have just spent almost 5 days trying to rid the interference noise (and at one point the radio) from my speakers that started when I setup my new Behringer audio interface. > > Signal chain: Peavey Classic 20 MH -> XLR -> Audio Interface -> NAD hifi amp -> speakers. > > I must have tried at least 20 different things, so many youtube videos, including complete rewire of pc cables, usb, power cables. Different power outlets, with and without the UPS, extension cables from different floors of the house, turning off the tumble dryer, removing smart plugs, different cables, different usb ports, turning everything but the amp and interface off. Bought a noise canceling usb (ifi Defender+)- made things maybe a bit better when unpowered, made things worse when powered. So much crawling around under my desk! > It was only an issue when the XLR was connected from my guitar amp, whether the amp was on or not - XLR unplugged PC audio was fine. Thought I'd try a different power cable to the amp - unplug the existing one and all hell break loose - SO MUCH NOISE AND INTERFERENCE!! Give up on the power cable idea. Then I unplugged the XLR and decided to try the headphone output of my guitar amp in to the interface. Whilst reaching around the back of the amp I see a small switch labelled "ground lift". Press it. Problem solved! Almost no noise. > If I had happened to have that pressed when I bought the amp over a year ago I'd have had no problems. FFS! > > And now the ifi Defender+ does work and has made everything perfectly quiet when nothings playing. No more annoying noises when I move the mouse with a fuzz pedal on. Really nice, so a pretty good result overall, but so much effort! > > So remember kids, if you have a noise issue, check if your equipment has a ground lift button. I didn't see a single YT video that mentioned ground lift and I didn't even know they existed or that my amp had the button even after I was sure it was a ground loop issue.

    > > Welcome to the show! Today’s video is about offering some solutions to a real-world issue faced by many people - taming volume in a loud clean amp, but retaining a little bit of feel and dynamics. We’re using the specific example of the Fender Hot Rod Deluxe III - an extremely popular and great sounding amp… but a goodly number of people have struggled with the somewhat all-or-nothing volume control.

    > I've only ever played through a single amp, but would like to try out a wet/dry rig. I currently play thru an Orange Crush 35rt with all my modulation/time in the effects loop. I was never dissatisfied with its clean tone, and even running the dirty channel I keep the gain low so I can clean it up with the guitar's volume. So I'd be open to having the Orange on either side, though my inclination would be to have it on the dry side.
