#Server Hardware

[vorbisx]

Replacing physical buttons and controls with touchscreens also means removing accessibility features. Physical buttons can be textured or have Braille and can be located by touch and don't need to be pressed with a bare finger. Touchscreens usually require precise taps and hand-eye coordination for the same task.

Many point-of-sale machines now are essentially just a smartphone with a card reader attached and the interface. The control layout can change at a moment's notice and there are no physical boundaries between buttons. With a keypad-style machine, the buttons are always in the same place and can be located by touch, especially since the middle button has a raised ridge on it.

Buttons can also be located by touch without activating them, which enables a "locate then press" style of interaction which is not possible on touchscreens, where even light touches will register as presses and the buttons must be located visually rather than by touch.

When elevator or door controls are replaced by touch screens, will existing accessibility features be preserved, or will some people no longer be able to use those controls?

Who is allowed to control the physical world, and who is making that decision?

guy who is so overconfident about their ability to fix computer software with nothing but a reddit thread and a dream but has spent the last 2 years with a broken microphone bc the idea of opening up their laptop with a screwdriver is viscerally terrifying

why is self hosting a minecraft server so difficult. i figured out how to set up a local server easily but why is making it so other people can connect so difficult. wtf is port forwarding.

[corvid-jay]

why's it so hard to set up a custom minecraft server...

[crash-likes-cookies]

Physically bought single player games, that can no longer be played.

Live-Service games, forced always-online games, everything that is Steam...

The recent crackdown on ROM sites hosting software that has not been sold in DECADES...

Also, the subscription model for software, all that is fraud.

Nothing else.

okay so i discovered my first major limitation of pluug: I/O bottleneck. transfer over ftp sits around 300KB/s while transmission is active, but i paused it and so far it's climbed to 727 and is still increasing at a steady rate.

this is a good example why i'm not using him as a media server, just for the the actual torrenting. like i can manually manage stuff for now but later i can automate transmission's snail mode and provide a window to autocopy anything new over to my NAS/mediaserver

My parents went to meet up with some extended family the other day and my mum mentioned I was looking for work and my so dad's cousin (from overseas??) is trying to recruit me. For a field I don't work in!!!

But that's kind of the way, I guess many people are happy to hire a Big Nerd and retrain them.

Had another science based natemance detective idea.

Knowing that Nate really dislikes modern tech does make it hard to share some aspects of the detective’s daily life. But what if they picked and dabbled in a few things in such a way Nate understood technology better than some regular people?

It’s settled that he doesn’t enjoy phones. They are developed in a way that a society who grows with them understands. It’s grown so fast and moved so quickly away from general learning resources that he doesn’t care much for learning them either.

What if the detective just, showed him technology that wasn’t so far advanced to conform to social needs. Like learning an early coding language (lol) and setting up a storage server for him to keep high quality scans of his valuable books that are falling apart from age and use? He doesn’t need to build anything, just maintain aesthetics and documents, do a small amount of scripting when necessary.

And what if he used Windows 95 to access it?? 😭 It’s not as new, pretty intuitive, and can be easily managed. On an old Compac frankestein-ed with a nicer monitor. Maybe Nate remembers a familiar model from back when they had dial up internet and computer labs at the agency. “Oh! I remember this, back when I used it once to print off map quest.”

It isn’t his go to for all his reading materials, and certainly cannot beat the feeling of a good book in his hand; but it shines a light into the detectives world and what they’re capable of.

nothing makes me feel more fundamentally stupid than trying to dive into technology projects outside my wheelhouse

I'm like God I wished I live in a small town like in gilmore girls, but I got a local bar where everybody knows me by name, I have a three minute walk to work, my city exists of small streets and 16th century architecture, we've got our signature restaurant that we go to for dinner, I'm constantly running into people I know, I get coffees at a small cafe where there's a nice barista who recognises me, there town events linked to every possible holiday, and concerts at the park's gazebo. I'm already living it.
