Yeah, I’m an AV tech and I was going to say this is less an issue with outdoor movies and more a matter of people generally not understanding that a) audio quality contributes more to a good watching experience than video, and b) audio is more complicated to get right than video. Not necessarily difficult, it just requires a little more learning. (For example, recognizing the difference between what’s actually too loud and what’s just not balanced.)

Electric Vehicles@slrpnk.net•Has anyone used one of these electric scooters? How has it been working for you?
1·3 months agoI agree that bikes are more comfortable, but the foldability and lower weight give scooters a huge advantage in many situations.
I know there are folding bikes and non-folding scooters, yada yada, my point remains.

Electric Vehicles@slrpnk.net•9,000 Miles Of Proof: Electric Trucks Can Tow, But Battery Size Is Everything
1·4 months agoI would argue a better solution is standardizing batteries to enable swapping stations. Much less need for fast charging then. Excess banked batteries could also double as grid storage. It’s been done before, but not cross-brand as far as I’ve seen.
Note that KDE Linux is completely different from Neon:
- Arch-based
- Immutable

I love the direction they’re going with it, but I personally won’t be running it because I like to tinker.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Are you on which team: vim, nano, micro, er ed for you terminal based text editor?
2·6 months agoOnce you configure nano with a
~/.nanorcfile, it becomes a lot more like micro/helix without having to install anything on new systems. I just curl my config and I’m good. I have Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, 2 space tabs, mouse scrolling +selection, syntax highlighting, etc. There’s a lot you can do in there, and that’s not to mention plugins.
Cloudflare tunnels is more than just a reverse proxy, but agreed. That might be the better option regardless. If you’re Cloudflare-averse, you can use Tailscale funnels, or spin up your own rproxy+tunnel solution (there are plenty out there, such as Rathole, Zrok, or frp).

Linux@lemmy.ml•Ubuntu 26.04 Allows "sudo apt install rocm" But It's Months Out-Of-Date
2·6 months agoYeah I know, just making a terrible attempt at humor. 😅
You could print a random letter or graphic(s), preferably on heavier paper, and wrap the cash inside. That should make it a little harder to feel or spot on x-ray.




Lol yeah, that’s fair. I should add that I was speaking more within the context of a typical outdoor movie night. There’s no video routing or switching, hardly any considerations of formats or frame rates. Pretty much just a laptop and a projector, maybe some quick lap through the picture controls if someone really knows and cares that much. I’ve speced out full multi-site switching rigs with broadcast and IMAG so I know video can get into the weeds just as much as audio. 😅
