Borrowed this image from a customer review. These colors just look so nice. I bought this Android Bluetooth joypad as a gift for someone. It's a nice little device for very cheap. It has many options to be used across different devices, but it does so through button combinations which can get annoying if your didn't keep the manual. Just for the sake of my own sanity I'm typing them down here. Modes:X-Input (Xbox Controller) = Power + Right Shoulder ButtonDS4 (PlayStation Controller) = Power + BD-Input (Android Input) = Power + Left Shoulder Button Apparently this can also be...... 
I recently found a VLC plugin I fell i love with. It's very basic, but a must for me. Pause to click/play. If you've watch videos on the net you've probably noticed that all web players now use click to pause on their web players. It makes sense too, it's much more convenient than trying to click that little button and will probably be the main feature you need when watching a video. It's been annoying not having the feature on desktop with VLC, especially when that the content I tend to watch full screen so clicking on that little...... 
Instant access to a desktop! Valve Corporation's Steam Deck has sent shockwaves through out the gaming industry. The handheld device, released in December 2021, runs on a custom version of SteamOS, a Linux-based operating system, and has the potential to change the game for Linux on desktops. Linux has always been the underdog of the operating system world, with most PC gamers opting for Windows or MacOS. But the Steam Deck could change all that. The device is designed to allow users to play their Steam library of games on-the-go, making Linux gaming more accessible and user-friendly than ever before,...... 
A Nostrich out and exploring. For years, Facebook and Twitter have dominated the social media landscape, providing a way for people to connect with friends and family, share their thoughts and experiences, and stay up-to-date with current events. However, as these platforms have grown, so too have their problems. From privacy concerns to algorithmic biases, many people are starting to question whether the benefits of these centralized social media platforms are worth the costs. That's where NOSTR comes in. NOSTR is a decentralized social media platform that puts the power back in the hands of the users. Instead of relying...... 
Relays can help keep content clean and refreshing. In NOSTR Clients: The Convenience of Choice I gave quick run down on Clients, but in Why NOSTR May be the Next Big Thing in Social Media I only briefly mentioned Relays, so I'll go into a bit more here. Relays can play an essential role in preventing spam in decentralized networks like NOSTR. They are responsible for relaying messages between different nodes, and they can help prevent spam attacks by filtering out unwanted messages. To understand how relays prevent spam, it's important to first understand what spam is. spam refers to...... 
It can be more! We talked about how NOSTR is a decentralized social media protocol in Why a Protocol like NOSTR IS Necessary and in Why NOSTR May be the Next Big Thing in Social Media, but it doesn't strcily have to only be social media. The NOSTR protocol has the potential to revolutionize the way people interact online in general. While it is currently in its early stages, there are many possible applications for NOSTR that could be developed in the future. Here are some of the possibilities: Social Networking: We talked about this already, but NOSTR can be...... 
Gigabyte B450M DS3H V2 On 2023 of November I upgraded to a new motherboard to try a Gen 1 Ryzen 7 I got my hands on. I had issues with their sound drivers interfering with the sound drivers of my Logitech headphones. Whenever I joined a voice chat there was static on my end which I found out was caused by the the playback and recording device switching every second between each other. This was really annoying so just in case I reinstalled the sound driver from Gigabytes website version 6.0.9225.1. I had the same issue so I tried previous...... 
Soapbox Home TImeline tldr: If you're having weird problems installing the Soapbox / Rebased Fediverse software on your server. Maybe make sure you open port 80 and 443. That worked for me. I like to get on the Fediverse for my social media fix. I'm not the tech savviest guy, but I do self host my own website for me and my friends to use. The software I use to get on the Fediverse is Soapbox with the Rebased backend. It's a very nice way to interact and enjoy the Fediverse. The guy who develops it recently had a big...... 
JSON config settings I opened a Soapbox Fediverse site to play with. Learned a couple things doing that, but when I installed it, certain features were not working the way they should under the soapbox-config settings (I think this was all under the newer Soapbox3 front-end). None of the buttons on the front-end worked. The fix was to just type it out in the Advanced: Edit raw JSON data section. Once that was filled out everything worked like normal. Here's how my settings look. You can copy this and change it around yourself; put your own info in it. {......
