For a good time, call 1194.
This graffiti was seen, around 1993, in various toilets, referencing the national talking-clock service.
1194 == "On the third tone it will be 3:45 and 30 seconds, beep beep beeep."

A simple network share.
Does your router have a USB port?
Plug in a thumb drive (32-64gb is fine) and configure it in your router's admin interface to share on the network. (FTP and SMB shares)
An easy way to have all devices in a house able to access a shared directory. (Pictures, movies, music, files)

Is your 'registered Signal number' your phone handset number?

No spam, because it is a family group for sharing non-public pictures etc.
You'd only get spam if you invited a spammer to chat.

DeltaChat.
It packetises and encrypts chats, using email(SMTP) as the transport medium. Sends downsampled pics, videos or push-to-talk audio by default. Can send full quality pics, videos, or attachments too, as a file.
Integrates with Jitsi Meet to connect video-calls.
It's available on F-Droid, and you can use a seperate free-email-address(100MB limit) for the SMTP backend (from https://nine.testrun.org/ ), or use your own existing email address.
Elegant and robust.

Also, I preference spear/glaive weapons for the range (augment stone to enhance speed).
Re-growth can root a non-flying enemy and give 3-4 free hits with these two weapons.
Can usually be zapped to block line-of-sight for enemies with ranged attacks, and provide the equivalent of 1 health potion every 2 levels from dew drops.

I guess because the lightning-wand can cause self-damage, I mostly skip using it, and never upgrade it.
Didn't know about the highest damage rating, thanks for that.
I'll try an upgraded lightning build, the next time I see it.

I've wondered about blastwave.
If you knock someone down to the next level, do you definitely get their XP and item/coins below, when you get dpwn to that level?

Twilight Zone movie.
Watched alone on dark night.
The part when the lady visits the house, where the family is terrified of putting a foot out of line.
That has the most distasteful feeling of dread. Really well done, not for kids!

Finding some conclusive supporting material about the (as yet unsolved) Voynich Manuscript.
Either, enough information to decode a possible cypher, or proof that it is an elaborate troll/hoax/joke.
Could be the 'Rosetta Stone moment' of the modern era.

I like that era too.
Aztec(1976) came up recently, and I was very much considering getting it, due to the in-depth detail in these Technology Connections videos. Not sure if the gameplay is any good though.
Medieval is fun, launching cows and all.
The original ST:TNG was great also.

One of the tables at this tournament was Walking Dead too!, unforgiving table angle.
I own no pins at home, except toy size Batman battery operated(Funrise with the ramps)
My top table is Banzai Run (2 games in 1 ;-), can 7x replay
I like Attack from Mars(and just a little less Revenge from Mars).
The original Indy:Pinball Adventure is an all time favourite and one of the first I played(as long as the flippers have enough kick to score jackpots and reach the Path of Adventure).
If I got a table, it would be Judge Dredd.
Grew up only playing 80s/90s video arcade machines. Appreciated pinball later, especially the analog aspect and finding out about basic moves like lane-transfers.
My nonpro-tip: Read the info-card for the word multiball! (c:

Alternatively, a program that is a wrapper for your entire browser/device, that observes video and audio, to automatically carry out the blanking/muting.
Ads load as normally, but are never seen or heard by the user.

Theoretically, an air-gapped system that is worn on the head, rather than installed to the device would be undetectable.
An AR vision headset that detected known-ad-signatures and could blank or replace ads in realtime, with targetted noise-cancelling to 'mute' specific ad audio, could surgically remove ads from any media(billboard, magazine, video, radio, webpage).
Kind of like reverse-Snowcrash augmentation.

About 10 years ago I qualified to enter a state pinball tournament.
Of 16 qualifying entrants(or who could be bothered to enter), I placed 6th.
So I see it as, I was the 6th best pinball player in a state of 3million people, for a year. :-)

Thanks for the links, something I have not really thought about. I pretty much assume very low security/privacy on all modern smartphones anyway(commercial or FLOSS ecosystems).
F-Droid is a handy way to find and support devs who are sharing their expertise.
Certainly, use the download-channels that you are comfortable with.
As mentioned on that page, F-Droid and IzzyOnDroid can link you to many decent FLOSS apps. It's an easy way to be exposed to a large amount of free software.

More unknown and underappreciated in the current era, than underappreciated at release.
Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe on Amiga, was an outstanding future brawl-ball simulator.

Some calming sand raking. Best with low or no-volume. About 30 other similar videos from this channel.
Is the Amazfit Bip still a good choice for simple duration/route/heartrate/step/sleep tracking? It works with gadgetbridge out of the box, with no need to connect with other software or create a remote account. 20-30 day battery life. I saw the PineTime today, which looks interesting. I've tried a Bip Pro, but it requires a connection and account before being usable with gadgetbridge. What are the other options to consider? Which watches have higher accuracy for sleep/HR/step metrics?
Dropdown menu at top for other modes. This one at least describes the 1400 partners they will share your information with. Has an opt-out option too.
Know your enemy. This video is an interesting behind-the-scenes look into the capabilities and senses of each different enemy in the 1993 videogame DooM. * Bonus content and nostalgia: A look at where consumer available FPS began with [Maze Wars+ (1987)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToEuS4sgGvY) Maze Wars+ was the first experience of a networked-multiplayer-graphical-game for many people, and completely mindblowing for the era. * For a current quality FPS experience, see [Cube 2: Sauerbraten](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube_2:_Sauerbraten)
I'm interested if anything was visible from the Perth metro area. Will it only show up in dark-sky places away from towns. Can also post if you saw it anywhere else in WA too. Location, day and time etc.
TIL - The RTRFM 4 O'clock Classic intro is from here.
A treasure from the past. Print run was 2.5 years through 86-88. Lying halfway between Buster and Viz, was Oink! A cheeky, pig-themed, politically aware comic, that generated some hilarous lampoons of other comic strips and media personalities. Great writers, who came from, and went on to do some further outstanding works. Favourite strip was New Wave Dave.
c/comics says no NSFW in the community info. Where is an appropriate place to post this? Can be on any instance. More info: It is a one off art piece. Not an ongoing webcomic.
A video by mathematician Matt Parker describing the workings of a toy automaton.
I remember there being no text or speech, some fire-extinguishers sprayed all over the place, someone hunting with a bow and arrow across an office desk. It was in a step-by-step airliner-safety-card style of art. First saw this about 10 years ago on some other site.

Xmas Eve at 6:25pm, looking NW. Very short rainbow. Contacting all those with meteorological knowledge on Lemmy. I have never seen this before and want your best info about what it might be. The best guesses I've got are localised rain, earthquake lights or a part of a sun-dog. ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/e703a7a9-81e2-40aa-9cd9-74653070cdde.jpeg)
No spoilers allowed. Only Ep 1 or 2 discussed here. What are/were your impressions of the first 2 episodes? I am liking the strong casting, plausible off-world conflicts and resource scarcity evaluations. May require more hard science or physics for full immersion. Can someone explain the reason for Holden's wrench to go flying?
I enjoy collecting the shells, fish and bananas in this version. Like a South seas vacation. Picture is from this review at [Thegameshelf](https://thegameshelf.blogspot.com/2017/04/on-island-in-sun-carcassonne-south-seas.html?m=1) (not my site)
