- Comment on Is it possible to install my own OS on a "smart" TV? Is that a thing? 5 days ago:
In Germany, you may also use the built in DVB-C receiver of the TV for free TV and an additional CI card for pay TV. But cable companies want you to use their set top boxes.
- Comment on Is it possible to install my own OS on a "smart" TV? Is that a thing? 6 days ago:
Similar for me. I have an old Philips “smart” (actually today it is very dumb as basically all services are disabled and all apps heavily outdated) TV which I occasionally use for watching TV, but most times I use the attached Raspberry Pi with Kodi for watching public German Mediathek, Youtube or Amazon Prime.

A TV usually comes with a remote, a monitor doesn’t. Additionally, you can use it to watch linear TV if you don’t feel like making an election.
- Comment on Which language was spoken in ancient empire armies ? 2 weeks ago:
As far as I understood, @Lazycog@sopuli.xyz was talking about the phonetic alphabet used in the armies of NATO countries which is standardised by ICAO as Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, … and is not the everyday phonetic alphabet in each country, e.g. in Germany commonly Anton, Bertha, Cäsar, … but there are plenty of different versions and variants for each German speaking country.
- Comment on How can I migrate my current Lemmy profile to another lemmy instance? 3 weeks ago:
AfaIk, posts and comments cannot be exported.
For the rest you may use the “export settings” function in the “personal settings” section on the webpage of your Lemmy instance (yet I don’t know what is actually exported).
Alternatively, you may use one of the tools mentioned in this post (the post is in German, the linked webpages are in English): https://slrpnk.net/post/10923543
- Comment on Can Bash aliases be nested? 4 weeks ago:
Ah, obviously you’re right and bash is less tolerant than I’ve had in my mind. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/an-introduction-to-useful-bash-aliases-and-functions
- Comment on Can Bash aliases be nested? 4 weeks ago:
Preferred over alias is function llaa { … }. Alias is for backwards compatibility.
Again what learned. What is wrong with having spaces around the equals sign, though?

AfaIk, the Rosetta stone contains a Ptolemic decree which was usually published in all three official languages / writings in Ptolemic Egypt, i.e. Greek and ancient Egyptian in Hieroglyphs and Demotic writing.

- Comment on can you ELI5 the physics of bleeding radiators on an apartment building? 2 months ago:
However there’s a reason why the boiler room is usually locked off in a 30 story building. Bleeding a radiator might be relatively harmless, but there’s no way of knowing what the pressure is supposed to be without knowing the entire system.
Exactly, that’s why either the janitor knows the correct pressure or they need to call a technician.
- Comment on can you ELI5 the physics of bleeding radiators on an apartment building? 2 months ago:
Usually, at the heating there is a junction for a hose with a valve and close by a pressure meter. If the pressure is too low, the janitor (not you) should fill up the heating with water until the pressure is sufficient. Ideally, the pressure should be checked again after bleeding the radiators.

Maybe https://speechify.com/da/ works. At least they mention the recreation of the voice of your beloved one on their German page.
- Comment on How can I recreate my grandfathers voice? 2 months ago:
Maybe the term you are searching for is “AI voice cloning”. The engine of https://elevenlabs.io/voice-cloning claims to be able to understand and reproduce even Danish.

You create an account on the instance you’d like to move to. After that you can use some migration script to migrate your bookmarks and subscriptions.
- Comment on What is the secret to making LED light bulbs last as long as the package says? 3 months ago:
Ah, yes the LED driver is usually constant current type. I’ve been thinking too simply and assumed it’s constant voltage.
- Comment on What is the secret to making LED light bulbs last as long as the package says? 3 months ago:
But then the voltage per LED increases, leading to soon death of another LED, so this is a ‘just for the moment’ fix.
- Comment on ELI5: how do mobile devices know your movements? 3 months ago:
For completing your nice explanation, here is the DeepL translation of the section in German Wikipedia on micro accelerometers:
In recent years, miniaturised acceleration sensors have become increasingly important. These are micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) and are usually made of silicon. These sensors are spring-mass systems in which the “springs” are silicon bars only a few μm wide and the mass is also made of silicon. Due to the deflection during acceleration, a change in electrical capacitance can be measured between the spring-mounted part and a fixed reference electrode. The entire measuring range corresponds to a capacitance change of approx. 1 pF. The electronics for analysing this small change in capacitance are housed on the same integrated circuit (IC).
There are also variants in which piezoresistive resistors are attached to the bending beam by ion implantation, which change their resistance according to the bending and thus allow conclusions to be drawn about the acceleration.

Yes you’re right. It’s more an untested hypothesis and no counter evidence has appeared by themselves to OC yet.
