For iOS, Go Map!! (source) has a similar quests system. I don’t know how well they hold up to StreetComplete though, I’ve never used the latter.

Also, obligatory https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/How_to_contribute!

The bingo one actually uses crossbeam channels instead of mutexes, so that’s nice. I haven’t looked too closely at it though.

I don’t think you can do too much about the Spectrum one if you want to keep the two threads, but here’s what I would change related to thread synchronization. Lemmy doesn’t seem to allow me to attach patch files for whatever reason so have an archive instead… https://dblsaiko.net/pub/tmp/patches.tar.bz2 (I wrote a few notes in the commit messages)

Just to give the reason for Rc<RefCell> in the current project. I’m reading in a M3U file and I’m going to be referencing it against an Excel file. So in the structure for the m3u file, I have two BtreeMaps, one for order by channel number and one by name. Each containing references to the same Channel object.

So basically it’s channels indexed by channel number and name? That one is actually one of the easy cases. Store indices instead:

struct Channels {
  data: Vec<Channel>,
  by_number: BTreeMap<u32 /* or whatever */, usize>,
  by_name: BTreeMap<String, usize>,
}

// untested but I think it should compile
fn get_channel_by_name(ch: &Channels, name: &str) -> Option<&Channel> {
  Some(&self.data[*ch.by_name.get(name)?])
}

Not for the built-in Eq derive macro. But you can write your own derive macros that do allow you to take options, yeah.

Do you have some public code you could link to that you’re having this issue with? There isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution for Rc/RefCell, I think.

Whoa nice, I need to keep this in mind.

Yes, it even uses BitTorrent to distribute videos.

Sounds like exactly the right way to talk about physical buttons to me.

Oh, so he has a new ID but I assume registered to vote before the name change and the registration is tied to the name? Ah yeah that sounds like a pain in the ass.

Why does his drivers license specifically have to match up with his ID to be able to vote? That seems really weird. (Also, could he pretend to just not have one?)

I think in this case I would translate “Lager” as “warehouse”

Most computers with (at least) two network interfaces will do. If it’s something too crappy your throughput will be limited by CPU speed but I can’t tell you exact recommendations here. Here’s OPNsense’s hardware recommendations for example, they’re not high at all. Off-the-shelf devices that allow you to do this should probably be fine too.

I’d put Linux on it and use nftables but BSD PF seems to be very popular for firewalls (OPNsense/pfSense are built on this) which I have never used so consider that too.

Not a professional networking guy either but here’s my opinion.

What I would do is use the ISP router as is, open all ports on it (except to itself, hopefully it doesn’t do that…), and put a firewall in between the router and everything else that controls the actual access to everything behind it (in bridge mode between the two network interfaces of the firewall, so you only have the one network).

Could a potential second router also assign addresses to devices in that globally routable space directly?

Devices in IPv6 assign addresses themselves via SLAAC, you just need one device advertising the prefix which the ISP router should already do. The firewall should be able to just purely be there for packet filtering. If you need fixed addresses for public facing servers I would just assign them manually to the respective boxes as you likely also need to add them to public DNS manually anyway.

Huh, I thought I looked through them all when I tried it last time. I’ll check again.

Do you self-host Jitsi? The public instance has absolutely unusable FPS for streaming gameplay which is pretty much the only thing I still use discord for because it’s the only thing that seems to do it well. I read somewhere you can turn up the FPS on a self-hosted Jitsi though.

Settings -> Output:

• Output Mode: Advanced
• Recording -> Type: Custom Output (FFmpeg)

OBS allows you to use everything FFmpeg supports with the “Custom Output (FFmpeg)” recording type.

You likely need to tweak the CRF/other parameters. Take a look at https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/AV1

(Note that I don’t know how exactly to tune the parameters to get the best quality/size at the expense of encode speed which is what I would do here.)

You should definitely re-encode it in post with higher compression settings that take much longer than you could encode “live” to get a small file with the same quality as your original high bitrate recording. (I suggest the AV1 codec for that)

Irresponsible and malicious journalism like this is why I have an immediate distrust against any sort of reporter that tries to talk to me. Probably irrational but still.

I hope your balls explode.

I wish him the very same.
