At the "Vintage Computer Festival Midwest" ( vcfmw.org ) and had an insulin attack, but there's no food sales in the expo hall, so I go exploring the rest of the (large/multi-event) convention center looking for sugar.

I must have been wearing the right uniform though, cause several times I got approached by concerned people wanting to make sure I knew the nerdcon was back the way I came.

None of them knew where to find sugar, but I eventually located a vending machine.

Related: $5 for a 20 fl oz (591ml) bottle of pepsi.

And it tastes like shit.

in reply to SaraMG

Good grief.

I remember paying $1 for a bottle of soda in 2010 and feeling ripped off.

Now I realize it was probably subsidized by my employer (or sold near cost for them).

That's only $1.44 in 2024 money.
I see bottles going for no less than $2 now.

Hey, Fediverse nerds. I do some light #IT for friends and family. I'm looking for recommendations for a cross platform free, open source remote access software, so I can quickly fix someone's computer every once in a while. Anyone have any suggestions? I use #qubesos so I'd prefer it to work on #linux. Thanks.

I've decided to showcase fedi artists in my header. The work I've currently displayed is by the incredibly talented Daleen Coetzee: @skapie321. Here is a little bit about this month's highlighted artist: about.me/daleencoetzee

I hope to include a broad range of original kinds of art, including fabric/paper, film, graphic, architectural, cartoon, theater, culinary, literary,
clay/ceramics, music, sculpture (including found object art), woodworking,
jewelry, painting, photography, spirit houses, altered books, mixed media, etc. Please let me know if you are an artist on the fedi and would like your work boosted in this way, or if you would prefer not to have your work shared. Also: illustrators are artists, full stop. Mad respect for everyone's work.

@CoachMark I hope it helps them a tiny bit. Certainly we all benefit from more exposure to the arts. 😃

@PANAFOLKS 2 puis pour autant que je sache ils n'ont toujours pas de protections dignes de ce nom. Je me souviens aussi qu'il n'y a pas si longtemps, passé une certaine date ils étaient tenus de rouler en chemise à manches courtes!

Il me semble qu'aujourd'hui il sont meiux protégés qu'avant, mais c'est vrai que ça reste en dessous de ce qu'un motard moyen peut s'offrir chez les accessoiristes moto, aujourd'hui t'as des blazes avec air-bag, et je crois qu'il y a aussi des bécanes avec option air-bag.

They make it really easy to do so. It's basically unlocked and devs know exactly what comes with the matchine hardware/software.

Using FFmpeg to create a video using a single image for a specific duration in Linux is simple.

ffmpeg -loop 1 -i image.png -c:v libx264 -t 30 -pix_fmt yuv420p out.mp4

The -t 30 makes it 30 seconds long.
