How are those emulation devices? I really want to buy that rg35xx but I think it’d really bother me trying to play say ps1 in such a small screen. And of course ds stuff wouldn’t be that good considering the one small screen.

Duvidl OP ,

It’s an Anbernic R353V, a R280V and a Miyoo Mini Plus. Honestly, I love them. Especially the Miyoo has a great form factor, I can play all the old RPGs with one hand.

PS1 is fine, although I’d recommend the 353V for that due to the analogue sticks. And I feel that the more colorful games are better on such small screens than say Tomb Raider or the like. Still lotsa fun.

weinermeat ,

I have the RG35XX, install black seraph’s GarlicOS on it and it’s perfect. The stock OS is terrible in comparison. It runs everything very well and can output to a TV if you want. Also, I’d trash the no-name sd card it comes with and provide your own.

Also it will not play DS, forgot to mention that. As there’s no analog stick you won’t be able to play n64 either, but otherwise it’s incredible for almost every other ps1-era and earlier system.

JustinAngel , (edited ) to fediverse in Dutch government starts own Mastodon instance as reaction to the instability of Twitter

Probably a poor decision to be creating accounts on government operated instances. Since they own the server, they’re in a position to:

  1. Siphon credentials and attempt reuse to gain access to distinct services
  2. Ban individual accounts
  3. Censor based on post content

I’m all for government support and adoption of open-source software so long as they’re not in the position to disrupt how it’s used by the public at large.

Edit (my perspective is relevant, but doesn’t apply in this case): My nerd impulses outran my willingness to read the link’s content. Seems it’s not for public registration.

Edit 2: Like my cornbread eating American ass can read Dutch anyway 🤣

TheWorstNL ,

This is going to be a private instance. No normal citizens can create an account.

It’s a response to Twitter shielding access to unregistered users. A lot of public services used Twitter to spread information.

JustinAngel ,

My mistake.

moitoi ,

And this is how all Governmental instances have to be, private. Mastodon is a great way to communicate for Government as they control it. They don’t rely on a company and can manage the servers.

8uurg ,

From the post of the account linked here (in Dutch): it is going to be a place for official government communication, not for individual government employees (and I presume, by extension, public registration in general)

JustinAngel ,

My mistake.

fkn ,

This is literally all instances… Nothing you do here should be considered private or be linked to your real information.

JustinAngel ,

Agreed, but we have to trust the instances we keep accounts on. Trust is subjective, but I certainly wouldn’t trust a government ran instance for anything other than an outlet for information originating from the owning government.

If I run a private instance or know the maintainer of another, then I can have greater confidence in the security/privacy implementations.

fkn ,

I would trust most government instances more than most of the private instances. Would I trust them not to harvest all of that info? Absolutely not. Would I trust them to not masquerade as me? Way more. Governments have way more to lose by being caught.

JustinAngel ,

I’ve spent quite a bit of time as a penetration tester and one of the first things we do once we recover credentials is check for validity against online accounts known to be good for a given user. We do that because it simulates attackers and government operators alike. It’s a guarantee that free credentials will be abused in one manner or another when they’re available to government entities.

The obvious control for this is to maintain a unique password for each account but that’s not always feasible for users due to myriad conditions.

fkn ,

I didn’t say they wouldn’t be abused. I said they wouldn’t be impersonated.

JustinAngel ,

Would I trust them to not masquerade as me?..

Masquerading is literally the term used for this.

fkn ,

Exactly? I’m confused. Did you not understand my position?

It appears you ran your hand through in a flat position, with fingers perpendicular to the wheels. . If you look at the diagram on the machine, you should hold your hand vertically and run your fingers parallel through the wheels to more effectively crush your hand.

MajinBlayze ,

It is, and it’s delicious.

eric ,

Depending on where you’re from you may be picturing entirely the wrong things for biscuits and gravy. The biscuits are soft, flaky, buttery pastries and the gravy is a white sausage gravy made from flour, milk, and ground sausage. If you look up “biscuits and gravy” the pictures will show you what it looks like. It’s a common breakfast from the US south, although it exists in all parts of the US.

Yes, and it is delicious. Definitely not something you can have every day if you care for your arteries in the slightest.

It's an American thing. From what I know it's a special type of biscuit, similar to a scone, served with a white gravy.

Gestrid ,

It’s legitimately one of my favorite breakfasts. I don’t have it often, though.

ki77erb ,

I grew up on biscuits and gravy in Texas. When I met my wife she had never had it before. Now we have it for breakfast at least twice a month.

BarrelAgedBoredom , (edited )

It’s a staple southern American Southern US breakfast dish. Drop biscuits (similar to buttermilk biscuits, but it’d denser and fluffier. No layers either), covered with sausage gravy. If you’re not from the US/North America I’m not sure if there’s an equivalent to breakfast sausage. I hope so! Because if you have the time to make some I would really recommend it!

Couple of tips for anyone looking to make some biscuits and gravy:

  • Use shortening in your biscuits, idk what it does different but it works best imo.
  • If you’re going to use biscuit mix, use Formula L if you can find it. It’s the best. Good for pancakes too!
  • Let your roux get a some color before adding the milk. Pale sausage gravy doesn’t taste nearly as good. Just use low heat and keep the sausage and flour mixture moving to ensure you don’t burn it.
  • Use full fat milk for better flavor.
  • After you add the milk and it warms back up, throw 4 or 5 chopped up fresh sage leaves into your gravy. Sage, fennel, and pepper are a big part of the flavor profile of American breakfast sausage, adding a little extra really helps the flavor pop!
  • And finally, let the gravy get thick! Watery gravy should be illegal
  • For vegetarians: beyond sausage works great if you want to try it! It browns quicker than regular sausage though, so keep an eye on it. And you might need to add a little extra fat, butter or margarine works well.

When you said southern American I imagined a dish from South America, until I read what the other bloke in this thread said about the US south.

BarrelAgedBoredom ,

Fair! I didn’t even think about that. I’ve edited it to be more accurate

CountVon ,
@CountVon@sh.itjust.works avatar

Non-southerners beware, flour that grows well at higher latitudes is “harder”, i.e. has more gluten, while wheat from the south is “softer” / less gluten. You may need a softer flour to make really great southern-style biscuits, and that can be tough to come by outside the south.

Drusas ,

This is all great advice, but I would add to that biscuits and gravy is terrible if there is no black pepper in it. It's definitely a required ingredient. Sage and others are optional, but pepper is a must.

And don't skimp on the sausage. The number one mistake that restaurants make is skimping on the sausage. It shouldn't taste like milk.

The number two mistake that restaurants make is trying to make it fancy and adding too much random stuff to it. You don't need to add bacon and green onions and cheese and on and on. It's not grits. It's delicious on its own as a nice, simple recipe.

It’s scones and gravy, but the gravy has chunks of pork/sausage.

A decent breakfast, apparently. bless your heart.

I wonder if we can take the data in that site and see whether or not the fediverse has a “long tail.” Or if the mass migration has consolidated folks into a more traditional bell curve across servers.

The long tail is a concept that applies in a number of ways but I’m most familiar with it from the very very early days of SEO. The idea that the thing you’re interested in (in this case active users) are spread over so many tiny instances that they seem like a small part of the whole when in fact they make up the majority.

BillDaCatt , to mildlyinteresting in People really do use Google Search to visit well-known websites instead of typing their names into the address bar
@BillDaCatt@kbin.social avatar

Considering how many web addresses with similar spellings lead to malware sites, it's usually safer to do a search rather than typing a long address from memory.
