That's the plan! But it's still nice to know if these are the find I thought they were even if I don't plan on reselling them any time in the near future.
Smaller one is a Griswold No. 8, marked 704H. ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/6b52b7ef-ece7-42ff-9226-f398bf32fa5d.jpeg) Larger one is a Wagner Ware 11 ^3^/~4~ Inch Skillet, with a "10" on the handle. ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/c08dc352-46f8-4f6e-9f1f-dbd0982de5a5.jpeg) I managed to get them for $50 total. I can't find exact matches online, but I *think* this is a good deal for these two. Is it?

OK, so I looked though my browser history, and here are some relevant pages I found:
- keepassxc-browser Issue 1267
- keepassxc-browser Issue 1631
- keepassxc-browser Issue 1783
- browserpass-native Issue 93
I don't remember how much I used each one, but eventually I pieced together enough information information to get the Browserpass extension working in the Google Chrome flatpak. But three of those links are KeePassXC, which should be useful for adapting this for your use.
The main file that was having problems was the Browserpass Native Messaging Hosts file in my config directory for the Chrome flatpak, ~/.var/app/com.google.Chrome/config/google-chrome/NativeMessagingHosts/com.github.browserpass.native.json
. Originally it was a symlink to a file at /usr/lib/browserpass/hosts/chromium/com.github.browserpass.native.json
:
{
"name": "com.github.browserpass.native",
"description": "Browserpass native component for the Chromium extension",
"path": "/usr/bin/browserpass-linux64",
"type": "stdio",
"allowed_origins": [
"chrome-extension://naepdomgkenhinolocfifgehidddafch/"
]
}
The call to /usr/bin/browserpass-linux64
did not see to work for me, so I ended up making a copy of the file in the NativeMessagingHosts
directory and modified it to point to a script in my home mount:
wile_e8 NativeMessagingHosts $ diff com.github.browserpass.native.json.orig com.github.browserpass.native.json
4c4
< "path": "/usr/bin/browserpass-linux64",
---
> "path": "/home/wile_e8/.config/browserpass/browserpass.sh",
I don't remember why I picked to do it inside the ~/.config
directory, but it worked so I left it. And here is the script I put at ~/.config/browerpass/browserpass.sh
:
#!/bin/sh
cd ~
/usr/bin/flatpak-spawn --host /usr/bin/browserpass-linux64 2>/tmp/error.log
I don't remember how I came up with that script, it must be somewhere in the four links at the top.
Finally, I needed to use Flatseal to allow access to the script. In the Google Chrome settings, under "Filesystem->Other files", I added an entry saying ~/.config/browserpass:ro
. Also modified from the default in Flatseal, I have "Filesystem->All user files" enabled, along with "Socket->D-Bus session bus" and "Socket->D-Bus system bus". I don't know how necessary the last three are, but I'm not messing with it now that I have it working.
So, that's what I did to get the Browserpass extension working in the Google Chrome flatpak. You'll have to modify some things to get it working for KeePassXC, or for Firefox. But that general pattern should work.

Keep an eye out, I'll come back to this. It involves posting config file diffs and a script I wrote, it'll be a longer post I don't have the time to write right at this moment.
But yes, the fact that I need to find the time to post all the changes I needed to make to get this to work is part of the problem here.

FWIW I figured out how to get a password manager (Browserpass, not KeePassXC) to communicate with flatpak Chrome if you want some advice on how to get it to work.
But yes, it was way more difficult than it should have been (which is "should work out of the box, just like a regular package"). So if you're just listing some of the shortcomings of flatpak, never mind.

Wait, are photo passes really happening this time? Google has made a couple of blog posts announcing the feature, but I've been regularly checking for the last several months and haven't seen it. It was a nice feature of the original Google Wallet that was removed in one of the rebrands, I'd really like it to actually be back instead of just "coming soon" (not that soon)

Hasn't Android had a thing for a while where it gives update priority to people who manually check for updates? Like, my phone (7a) didn't say an update was available, but then I clicked the "Check for update" button, and now it said Android 14 is available.
So I don't think anyone who really wants the update soon needs to sideload the OTA, just check for an update and you'll probably get it.

Well, I don't know if Buchner is actually going to be better than Milroe. But from what I saw on Saturday, Alabama isn't going to win anything significant with Milroe under center. So maybe it's worth a shot to see if Buchner can perform against live competition.

Am I crazy, or does 8.76M for Texas/Alabama seem low? I was expecting at least 10+M for a hugely hyped, prime time game between two of the biggest fan bases on the sport. Was it because it was on ESPN and not a broadcast network?

- Back in the day, it used to be cheaper to buy season tickets than to buy tickets for every individual game. So a whole lot of if it inertia from being the standard way to go to all/most home games.
- Knowing you have the same seats in the same location near (mostly) the same people for every game it pretty nice.
- You can just relax with the comfort of having tickets in hand before a game instead of regularly having to go through the hassle of finding decently priced tickets before any game you want to attend.
But yeah, the administrative need to maximize revenue in the next quarter and the enshittification of everything means these benefits are hardly worth the cost any more. Which is why we've seen lots of articles the past few years about decreasing attendance in stadiums nationwide. Surely it must be because the fans aren't supporting the teams hard enough any more!

Thanks, that's close, and has all the filterable options I was looking for. However, it seems more tilted towards "individual cars that are for sale in your area now", while I was thinking "models that fit our criteria so we can order one for delivery in the future". It's useful for looking at options, but doesn't list things that aren't available here right now.
We're probably going to be buying a new car in the next year or three, and I'd be interested in getting an electric vehicle if we can find one that works at a price we can afford. I haven't been super into the details of all the electric vehicles available now (and soon), mostly just scanning headlines and reading articles on tech websites that caught my attention. I was looking for a website with a filterable list of all the electric vehicles that are available, and I found the [Electric Car Selector](https://electriccarhome.co.uk/car-selector/) and the [Electric Vehicle Database](https://ev-database.org). Both of which seem to do what I want, but both seem to be Europe based, which doesn't help me a lot since I'm in the United States. Are there any similar websites with filterable lists of electric vehicles for cars available in the United States?

So, as someone that's been on flavors of Ubuntu/Linux Mint for me personal computer since Breezy Badger, any good distro recommendations? I've been using Ubuntu Mate and upgrading in place for the last ~5 years, so I've mostly avoided Snaps, but I'm looking to upgrade my computer and I'm probably going to need a fresh install. I'd like to stay on the Ubuntu/Debian tree, but I've been using RHEL on my work computer for a while now, so I'm not totally unfamiliar with that distro branch.
Also, should I be as concerned about Flatpaks as everyone seems to be concerned about Snaps?

The thing about the "free speech" warriors was, it was never about free speech. If it was, they would respect platforms' right to not host speech the don't care for. No, what all the "free speech" warriors really wanted was "you have to listen to me". Now, between this, and promoting blue checks to the top of everyone's replies, any moderately famous left-of-center person is going to have the top of their replies populated by Elon fanboys spouting right-wing talking points and demanding a debate, whether anyone wants them there or not. Elon will love it, welcome to hell.

Because the Trump cult got emboldened after Trump won in 2016, and it quickly became clear that any Republican that wasn't sufficiently "unggh, Daddy Trump, destroy me harder" would get primaried by someone that was. Kiss the ring or be excommunicated.
It's hard to feel sympathetic for them about it though, the spent the previous 20+ years paying lip service to types of people who make up the Trump cult because they were convenient for winning elections. They just never expected those people would do anything besides vote in the most respectable business-friendly Republican. Leopards, faces, yadda yadda yadda.
It'll be interesting to see what penalties they apply after the season. Or if anyone at Michigan cares.

For the users that upvoted/commented on this, I'd just like to note that it looks like an issue has been created and a fix is ready to get merged in.
I have my default sort set to "Hot" inside lemmy.world. When I open Jerboa, it shows posts from my subscribed communities sorted by "Hot", like it's supposed to. However, whenever I open a community, it show the posts sorted by "Active", and I have to switch to "Hot". This is different from the main web site, which uses my default sort when opening a community. Changing the sort inside the app doesn't change anything - the next time I open any community, it's sorted by "Active". It would be nice if Jerboa was fixed this so communities were sorted by my default sort by default. I've made (simple) Android apps before, so I can try looking into it. But mostly I don't know the appropriate way to add an issue so it gets tracked and fixed eventually.
I live in the NE Heights and can see the smoke cloud from this.

I have a recipe I've found and like making because the crumb regularly turns out nicely for me, but I'd like it if the final loaf was a little bit bigger. If I wanted to scale up the recipe to make a 10% bigger loaf, would it be fine to just scale up each of the ingredients by 10% and bake it a little longer? Is there anything else I need to do? Any sort of formula for estimating changes to baking time?

I agree that those shouldn't be patented - they're ideas, not implementations. If you have a particular ingenious implementation for one-click shopping, go ahead and patent it. But don't sue people if they come up with a different way to do the same thing - that just means your implementation wasn't particularly novel.
So yes, there have been some bad software patents given out. That just means that the process for giving software patents needs to be reformed, not that we need to get rid of software patents.

From a certain point of view, everything is mathematics. It still takes time and effort to figure out the mathematics to make new things work. Patents guarantee that the people who figure out the math will be able to profit off of it before a whole bunch of copycats steal the work. That should apply to software too - assuming that people actually figured out the math and didn't just patent some idea without an implementation.
wile_e8 1 year ago • 53%
I think patents make some sense for software, if you patent a particular algorithm you developed for doing something useful. An example I always use for a good software patent is Google's original PageRank algorithm - it was a specific algorithm that provided significantly better search results than existing search algorithms. But that patent just covered one specific algorithm for ranking search results, not the idea of searching the web (which was around before Google). Patents that are given for an idea, not an implementation, are bad.
This article is unclear, but it sure makes it seem like this patent was given for the idea of sending video from one device to another, not a specific algorithm for doing so. So that would be a bad patent. But I don't think it means we should get rid of software patents altogether.

Does this mean devices have to be on the same Wi-Fi network for this to work? This looks extremely interesting as someone that runs Linux on my home computer, and the vast majority of my transfers are between devices on my home WiFi network, but I'd just like to know if it works elsewhere.

Is there a way to change the comment sorting in Voyager? On the desktop and in the old mobile app, I preferred the "Top" sorting for comments (it's annoying that I can't set this as a default, but I'm assuming that'll get fixed in time). But when I go to Voyager, I can't figure out how to change comments away from the default sort. Is it possible to change the comment sort order in Voyager? Is it in a menu I haven't checked yet? Some button I thought did something else?
