Moonlight works really well on my Raspberry Pi 3 (with everything connected on ethernet) and is really easy to setup.

Pretty neat if you want to remotely use your PC on a TV

I haven't done any test using it on internet but it seems to be possible.

He who controls the spice controls the universe.

Samplerbox (python raspberry pi synth using wav files) http://www.samplerbox.org/

A little known fact is that it is cross-platform, I manage to build a executable version with pyinstaller for windows. Some day I'll take some time to release it with a minimalist gui (just to select the soundcard).

I think people that have the most toxic behavior on social networks are like that because they feel deeply ignored.

They act like children that want attention, since everything failed, they go all-in in the desperate hope it gets a reaction, something that makes them feel even a little bit alive.

This is something that is really overlooked these days, in a world where attention is everything, there is a lot of people who feel left out, their situation denied. They feel so lonely that even being harassed in their twisted mind would be something better than what they live. A least when you are harassed, people recognized you are worth being harassed and you can find people who sympathize with you.

That doesn't mean I sympathize with them, harassing people on the internet is just horribly wrong, there is no reason to do it (whatever they have say or done).

But if you want to talk to abusers,keep in mind they feel like the biggest victim, and probably something horribly wrong has happened in their life. They don't want you to feel bad, they want you to feel worst than them and trying to shame them (even if you thing they deserve it) will only make it worst for them and for you.

This is way funnier than it should be, it is great to share simple schematics fast.

The gif doesn't give much information, I analyse each frame, and it is this image, distorted (no hidden content) http://hpics.li/17e2301

I tried to do an image search and it seems to be Original Content.

So what do you think , it is going to be a new Raspberry Pi?

Personally I like using Mastodon. There is an open source community (mostly french) that post interesting things.

A good social network shouldn't be about who has the most users, but who has the users you want to interact with.

Mastodon will probably never be the average user social network, but it works pretty well for people with specific interest, or marginalized people that doesn't want to interact with hateful people.

As for the lolicon content, it just doesn't exists except on specific instance, which are blocked on mine.
