Yea, so this doesn't exist, but should it?

Think about:

• TheMovieDB style identifiers with box art
• Auto-generated and/or community created and upvoted DVD labels, case inserts, or USB/SSD stickers you can print yourself (no reason physical media has to be "round")
• Automated scripts for generating local media savers/installers from GOG and Steam

This doesn't seem like a very difficult thing to create for the niche community of people that want physical copies.

Hi all, I've got an interesting requirement of storing 2 bikes inside a van with easy access. My idea is to use a Super High roof, and instead of the classic elevator bed that you can walk under, I want to do a raised floor with the bed hidden in the floor towards the cab, and the sitting/lounge area above it. Attached is a render of an initial idea, the bed being blue (and in the floor) in the render.

This means with a standard height kitchen counter in the back of the van, plus the 6" raised floor underneath, we get enough height under the counter to put the bikes. It also means a full ceiling for fans where we want them, room for recirculating shower in the kitchen, and other under-floor storage for heavy things like batteries.

The challenge is the bed, as with that large of an area, a cover would flex and dip when standing in the middle, and there won't be a lot of height to put cross beams if I want a 6" mattress. I'd also ideally want a way to "raise" the bed, but that's secondary.

Anyone have ideas for this kind of build? Also, any thoughts on if the Super High Roof narrows more at the top than a High Roof? I haven't seen one in person yet.

OnlyOffice appears to have removed their Android app from their repos: https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/documents-app-android

It can still be found on an archive: https://archive.softwareheritage.org/browse/origin/directory/?origin_url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2FONLYOFFICE%2Fdocuments-app-android

This means if you are de-Googled like me, they are no longer an option.

Perhaps coincidentally, they have also started making legal claims against the EuroOffice fork: https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE#%EF%B8%8F-legal-note

So, the drama was the drama, and I don't watch a lot of tech YouTube anymore, but both Gamers Nexus and LTT both hit the list from time to time.

Today I saw this (picture, link): https://youtu.be/-fZM9wOvbh0?t=199&is=7WPU3wo0OfXCNts6

Isn't this exactly the thing Steve called Linus out for? They were doing corrections in forum and WAN show, and Steve was saying they needed in-video edits, etc.

I find it MI that after all that it seems OK to take this stance. But maybe I'm missing something. Anyways, gave me a big frown when I saw it.

Had an interesting conversation on the science of consciousness a while back and realized there is a lot I don't know.

Can anyone recommend a recent book that covers the overall basics, such as the different theories (like antenna/etc) and physics overlaps?

My only requirement is scientific references. I dont want or need cited peer reviewed papers, but I don't want an author's sole opinion, either.

Infuriating GitHub users that mass-spam GitHub email addresses to promote their repo. How do I report this behavior to GitHub? I guess I could also report them for CANN Spam violations.

Tiny11 builds a Windows 11 ISO that is 3.7GB in size, and installs in less than 10GB. It is so stripped down it doesn't even have a web browser, so it requires minimal updates, and runs great as a VM.

Personally, I use it for things like configuring Webcams or Controllers.

I recommend installing in KVM using a qcow2 disk image named Tiny11-Base.qcow2, then:

Install VirtIO tools

https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/archive-virtio/

To get VirtIO on there you can use a USB stick, or use PowerShell as Administrator to download:

$url = "https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/archive-virtio/virtio-win-0.1.285-1/virtio-win-guest-tools.exe"
$output = "c:\Users\User\Download\virtio.exe"

Import-Module BitsTransfer
Start-BitsTransfer -Source $url -Destination $output

Mount folders

This is so you don't need a browser or to use PowerShell for downloading. I mount my local Downloads folder.

Snapshot and backup

Shutdown and create backups.

This retains sparse file compatibility (a disk that can grow as needed).

• Snapshot will give you two files. Point your VM to the second one to use the snapshot.
• The backup command will backup the original and the snapshot.

Snapshot

qemu-img create -f qcow2 -b Tiny11-Base.qcow2 -F qcow2 Tiny11-Active.qcow2

Backup

tar --use-compress-program=pbzip2 -cSvf Tiny11.tar.bz2 Tiny11*.qcow2

Export KVM

virsh dumpxml Tiny11 > Tiny11.xml 

Restore qcow2

tar --use-compress-program=pbzip2 -xvf ./Tiny11.tar.bz2

Import KVM

virsh define Tiny11.xml
