I top linked the most recently published video mostly for the introductory breakdown in ternary logic equivalence, but the interview with the ternary researcher, Dr Bos, also linked in the description above includes a number of corrections and accurate description of the subject.

Yeah, definitely not a lost art or anything, as physical ternary signals already have applications in communication like high data rate interfaces. Still, would be interesting to see ternary expand into logic domains with emerging developments in TCMOS research.

This is discussed around the 27 min mark of the video with Dr. Steven Bos, particularly in maintaining voltage thresholds for signal propagation when using multiple devices, in context of logic, memory, and communication use cases. Interestingly, for example, GDDR7 and USB 4.2 already use physical ternary signals.

Edit: signal to noise ratio is also discussed at the 40min mark, also with respect to increasing information density vs complexity from higher symbol bandwidth, or terms of radix vs frequency.

I haven’t gotten around to testing this yet, but I think they just share the Android app proot scaffolding. I wasn’t too satisfied with the proot performance on Android in general using Termux, as with interpreted runtimes like python, the system call overhead really shows itself. That of course doesn’t change here with nix-on-droid.

Does anyone know of an Android app to install an additional 3rd party TTS engine that can then be configured to point to a custom Open-AI/Fast-API endpoint for self hosting higher quality voices that are not easily run/fit on mobile hardware?

Some poignant questions for these new platform requirements:

• How do you anticipate this being used against journalists and advocacy groups?
• What research and statistical quantification will be done to evaluate the amount of harm these restrictions can inflict?
• What precautions or safeguards will users have against malicious state actors or capitulating corporations?
• How can developers protect themselves from liable damages due to service interruptions caused by third party verification?
• Do you foresee legal restrictions in rollout due to national security concerns from differing nation states?

I think it stands for Managed Service Providers.

I’m still using an old UC Gateway, doubt my homelab will outgrow it.

One thing I appreciate about NixOS is the ability to use overlays and override package sources. For example, overlays can be used to selectively install unstable and stable packages alongside each other:

• https://discourse.nixos.org/t/mixing-stable-and-unstable-packages-on-flake-based-nixos-system/50351

While there may be caveats, this approach has been working for me just fine, as I can install VSCode from unstable to get the most recent monthly releases as they roll out, but then pin the rest of my desktop environment to stable to limit anything else shifting underneath me unexpectedly.

Looks like they introduce the use Traefik with NixOS here:

How does Traefik compare to a reverse proxy like Caddy?

If there was a simple Debian based distro that I could declaratively manage via a single config file, I think I’d try it. I.e. not using Puppet or Chef that can only bootstrap a system state, but something to truly manage a system’s entire life cycle, including removing packages and anything littering the system file tree. But since there isn’t, I’m using NixOS instead.

Having a DSL to declare my entire system install, that I can revision control like any other software project, has been convenient for self documenting my setup and changes/fixes over time. Modularizing that config has been great for managing multiple host machines synchronously, so both my laptop and desktop feel the same without extra admin work.

Nixpkgs also bolsters a lot of bleeding edge releases for the majority of FOSS packages I use, which I’m still getting used to. And because of how the packaging works, it’s also trivial to config the packages to build from customer sources or with custom features. E.g. enabling load monitoring for Nvidia GPUs from btop that many distros don’t ship by default.

For the faint of heart, such vicarious pain may require theatrical intermission(s).

I’m not the original author, even with the YouTube title being as is, but what do you mean? Perhaps relying that the desired services exist as nix packages, or that nix packages have desired defaults or exposes desired config parameters?

There are two other nix media server config projects I can think of, but I think this approach mostly facilitates the install, but not the entire initial config setup, given that a lot of the stack’s internal state is captured in databases rather than text config files. So simplifying the backup and restoration of such databases seems the next best thing to persist your stack configs with nix.

On top of that, it’d be nice for the Bluetooth spec to roll out a higher bitrate version of HFP, as it’s common 16 kHz monaural configuration is awful when listening to multimedia while on video calls, like for remote watch parties or just listening to music or playing video games while hanging out on discord. I ended up just buying a USB to TRRS adapter with pass through Power Delivery in order to use my Android device with proper AV quality.

Tagging an image is simply associating a string value to an image pushed to a container registry, as a human readable identifier. Unlike an image ID or image digest sha, an image tag is only loosely associated, and can be remapped later to another image in the same registry repo, e.g latest. Untagging is simply removing the tag from the registry, but not necessarily the associated image itself.

I fell for it. It took me a minute into the game time to figure what was up and double check today’s date.

I’m using a recent 42" LG OLED TV as a large affordable PC monitor in order to support 4K@120Hz+HDR@10bit, which is great for gaming or content creation that can appreciate the screen real estate. Anything in the proper PC Monitor market similarly sized or even slightly smaller costs way more per screen area and feature parity.

Unfortunately such TVs rarely include anything other than HDMI for digital video input, regardless of the growing trend connecting gaming PCs in the living room, like with fiber optic HDMI cables. I actually went with a GPU with more than one HDMI output so I could display to both TVs in the house simultaneously.

Also, having an API as well as a remote to control my monitor is kind of nice. Enough folks are using LG TVs as monitors for this midsize range that there even open source projects to entirely mimic conventional display behaviors:

• https://github.com/JPersson77/LGTVCompanion
• https://github.com/cali-95/LGTVLinuxCompanion

I also kind of like using the TV as simple KVMs with less cables. For example with audio, I can independently control volume and mux output to either speakers or multiple Bluetooth devices from the TV, without having fiddle around with repairing Bluetooth peripherals to each PC or gaming console. That’s particularly nice when swapping from playing games on the PC to watching movies on a Chromecast with a friend over two pairs of headphones, while still keeping the house quite for the family. That kind of KVM functionality and connectivity is still kind of a premium feature for modest priced PC monitors. Of course others find their own use cases for hacking the TV remote APIs:

• https://youtu.be/76wAEJOdBq8

You could get a fiber optic display/HDMI cable, a fiber optic USB cable, and the USB hub, then just move the desktop tower into another room and run the cables through the walls or ceilings to your display setup. Might only be $100 or so cheaper than then a used business thin client, but at least you could still do something 4K 120Hz HDR 12bit over some distance without compromise. E.g:

The first link you listed (viewing the remote community from our local instance) shows 0 subscribers from the sidebar. From my understanding, no one from our instance is then subscribed to that remote community, so our instance has no reason to index those posts. Although I could be wrong, and it could be that no one from our local instance is subscribed to any community on the remote instance. I’m unsure if only instance federation or community subscription is necessary for merrioring/indexing remote posts.

Another issue is whether the post from a remote instance is colocated on your local instance. It could be the case that your instance never observed the post, as no users on your local instance where first subscribed, to the remote community the post was summited to, before the post was published.
