My mid-range LG monitor has a built in KVM as well as PBP (picture by picture??) --- Whatever it stands for, I am able to split my 34 inch wide screen between my work Macbook and my personal computer (Linux) - I use an app that I've had forever called Synergy to share my mouse and keyboard between them seamlessly. You can even copy/paste across machines. I personally am hooked on my PBP widescreen+Synergy combo.


I believe there are HDMI splitters on amazon that let you do this with any TV, although I'm not sure how great the quality of output is. I was looking at them once to see about doing split screen gaming with two different consoles.


Yeah, PBP was a gamechanger. I got a Samsung with it without realizing and now use it almost exclusively.


I've been coming in and out of the Python ecosystem for years as it isn't my primary tool but often is a piece of a project or something along those lines. Is it just my limited exposure, or is there a sort of stagnated, low-key 'GUI lib cold-war' going on in the Python space?

Many libraries, and framework-type things seem to have come and gone, while none have really 'taken hold', so to say. Is this the case? And, specifically, what is the big hurdle to a widely accepted GUI library in Python?


All controlled burns have to happen with government regulation for obvious reasons. Fire ecology and the legislation that regulates it in practice (read: research and it's influence on controlled burn methods) revolves mainly around constant disputes between agriculture and conservation efforts. This even winds all the way down to the age-old dispute about grazing cattle on public lands out west. Grazing on public lands leads to a reduction of fuel for natural wildfires in heavily grazed areas, leading to an imbalance in the natural fire cycle, causing the need to do controlled burns in the interest of human habitat and the economy rather than ecology. This ultimately causes a disruption is various parts of the ecosystem. In the high desert of Nevada, California, and other fire prone states that also are the home of agriculture that depends on grazing livestock, this issue is hot, no pun intended, and there is a constant dialogue going on between regulators and scientists researching land management methods in habitat where wildfire is not only necessary, but essential.


I wished upon a shooting star for comments in JSON sometime in the 2010s. That took a while, but I'm glad it came through.

-- EDIT: mainly back when we started using JSON to configure, well, lot of things.


I got the JSAUX dock while waiting for Valve to release the official dock. Never bought the official on release, the Gen 2 JSAUX with the extra USBs is awesome. Docked my deck to my TV and its both a media player as well as my console, almost never remove it except to dust :D. Also, the USB has recognized all peripherals I've thrown at it (I use desktop mode 98% of the time) and the ethernet works as expected.


Nice! I've been amazed at what a great console it is. I love docking it and hooking up controllers and doing local co-op with my kids. Some of the best times we've had as a family in the last 6 months were playing Shredder's Revenge with the deck docked to the TV. that game and many others work wonderfully with these cheap XBox 360 controllers: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09WQGQ6D2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b...


I bet you could rewrite it in under an hour now. Programming in general is a lot like hacky sack. If you don't do it that often, it seems difficult, but you get a few kicks in. The more you do it, the easier it is.


Neat endeavor. PrimiTV is pretty good.

I wanna play the name game.

Perhaps something along the lines of:

'NOAD' - noad.tv - I could see a regular googler search for 'no ad TV'

Or some other word for 'dumb', 'not smart'. Like dunce.tv. dolt. simpleton. dullard. etc.

Maybe a play on the TCP error ENETUNREACH? hehe.


Just chiming in based on your comment. Support some developers and buy the pro version of DroidCam. This might sound like a silly suggestion but it works for me: Save an old Android with a decent camera. It doesn't have to have stellar specs, I use a 5 year old Galaxy. DroidCam works flawlessly for me using an old phone with a good camera both wireless as well as with USB connected. All of my software, including my browsers (all on Linux) see my DroidCam as a webcam with no hiccups. I also ended up getting DroidCam OBS and have used multiple phones with OBS to easily create a multi-camera-angle scene for fancy video conferencing/streaming. Add a noise cancelling / directional mic setup for $15 and you have a hacky, albeit, modular and rather quality setup.


GIMP has allowed you to connect a MIDI device via plugin for ages now. Unconventional, sure, but anywhere physical knobs, sliders, buttons, and toggles will facilitate productivity over software UI, MIDI is widely supported, works over USB, and is an easy to comprehend protocol.


Dad? Is that you? :-D
