Bonus capture jumping the queue today because I'm burning with curiosity:

What caused the damage to this tree's bark in this patterned fashion? Was the lower rupture likely made by the same force?

Putting these questions to all the woodspeople, forest folk, ecologists, biologists, botanists, entomologists, and other science hippies in the Fediverse. Please scratch my itch 🙏

(P.S. No, I didn't capture any other images of the tree; and, no, I can't positively ID the tree. I'm terrible with tree ID. An alder? A young...something or other? Sorry 🙇)

Question for #retrogaming enthusiasts. How much does input latency matter to you, and why?

Don't get me wrong here - I fully appreciate the work that has gone into (for example) DaemonBite adapters that have been measured down to or below 1ms in latency, but... does that actually matter?

You need to hit 240Hz before your inputs have to happen faster than 5ms to change on every frame, and... what retro game does that?

Small number good, sure, but why?

Boosts and all comments welcome. #AskFedi

I'm looking to make a few minor changes to Mastodon using custom CSS, but I'm not sure how to target e.g. bgcolor for the light mode without impacting the dark mode. Anyone got any pointers? I can't find anything useful online.

Does anyone know the terms for traditional in-ear earphones that sit slightly outside your ear canal vs the ones fashionable nowadays that you stick all the way in with foam or rubber caps? Cannot find any consistent names to distinguish these even though they are totally different.

I cannot use the ones you stick all the way inside, but it's really difficult to find search terms for the traditional kind. I've attached a picture as an example of the type I'm looking for.

@FediTips, I’m having a lot of trouble with the mastodon iPhone app where all of a sudden while reading a toot the screen jerks and I’m pushed to 5 or 10 posts down. I have to scroll back up to continue reading what I was before being interrupted. Then it happens again. I’m suspecting this is possibly because some of the posts with links render a preview and causes all posts under it to realign vertically. Is this a known issue? Any recommendations? #askfedi #Mastodon

#AskFedi bc I need a refresher:

Were there, or were there not, studies during the *designated pandemic years (2020-21)* (/s) re: #Covid19 + #ClimateChange impact on gut health, with one major symptom being something like the stomach flu?

If anyone has the links and receipts, PLEASE REPLY!

Even a local newspaper here in West Bengal, India, carried a headline recently re: the outbreak of a kind of stomach flu, with symptoms such as lack of appetite, exhaustion, indigestion, and diarrhoea. My BFFs are down with it, and I am, too. And yesterday the news announced an oncoming heat wave this weekend 🫠

EDIT 15:33 HRS: following @hopeward 's clue, I think this could be a norovirus outbreak, because reading up on it, the symptoms all match. I don't know if the TV news channels have covered it at all.

Masking is sporadic here, almost rare. I still mask up, but ~ it does get difficult to breathe in a mask at 12:30 PM at 36°C ~ especially when chronic pain makes it hard for me to breathe even at home. Outside, there's also significant shaming and peer pressure to NOT mask up.

And as always, it's way worse for people with #Disabilities and #ChronicIllness (for instance: me), but people in this ableist, fascist hellhole of a country never want to talk about it.

Does anybody you know in the FOSS world is involved in some Foundation or Association for a project in Belgium or The Netherlands? I'd love to hear your experience! At @postmarketOS we are looking into starting a legal entity, and we are still pondering pros and cons of different options (gitlab.postmarketos.org/postma) We already got lots of feedback from German e.V. and a Spanish Foundation is likely a no-go.

Edit: Viele nennen Owncast, falls ihr noch andere Ideen habt gern nennen.
Ich hab auf dem alten Account mal eine Opensourcealternative zu Twitch gesagt bekommen, erinner mich aber nicht mehr. Die wichtigsten Funktionen wären für mich die Möglichkeit über OBS dort zu streamen und den chat so einbinden zu können, dass mir die Nachrichten automatisch vom ScreenReader vorgelesen werden, wie ich es auch bei Twitch habe. Am besten wär natürlich, wenn das ganze zugänglich mit ScreenReader ist, sonst brauch ichs gar nicht probieren. #FediHelp #AskFedi #A11Y #ScreenReader

Does anyone have a good #NAS vendor recommendation?

Being able to offsite a backup with a friend is probably the most important feature for my requirements.

#Synology seems to be the best option, but based on some reading, I’m worried about their software eventually being put behind a subscription.

Any suggestions are welcome!

Time for another round of #AskFedi: what are your recommendations on static website hosting?

See the details for consideration here:

I've never procured much hosting before (as I always tended to self-host or use tildes), so I have no experience in this market. Any suggestion considering my requirements is welcome!
