Mastodon #Hivemind, can you help? I need a part made for my 2-wheeled heap and, since the parts are unobtainable, I may have to go the 3D print route. This brings up my question: Can anyone suggest a tutorial for a complete idiot about how to do the 3D modelling I'd need to do? It needs to be totally idiot-proof, because I AM a professional idiot!

Hey there, nerdbrains,
I cant remember how I did this the last time I set up a phone two years ago...
I'm trying to install Google/Pixel camera on my #Pixel 7 running #AOSP-based #Iodé, but #AuroraStore says it's not compatible with my device.
I'd preferably like to get the old version I was running before, 9.0.115.586536401.40 (before they ruined the UI).
Does anyone know where I can get a working APK for my device?
I downloaded "com.google.android.GoogleCamera_9.0.115.586536401.40-66739056_18feat_0d88f0ed679ba77732b303a399904412_apkmirror.com.apkm" from #APKMirror, but it just crashes.
Any ideas?

TL;DR: How would you deploy a maintainable Linux build to 14 PCs?
I have a lab network of 14 PCs at $dayjob. I want them all to have the same Linux build/image, with the same apps - (probably) Plasma, VirtualBox, LibreOffice, Packet Tracer (so JRE as well) as the basics, plus various other tools.
If the users mess up the machine somehow, they need to be easily re-imaged. It would be nice if /home could optionally be preserved, but not essential.
I am currently the most Linux-savvy person in the team that will be looking after these PCs. I'm not there all the time, so this needs to be maintainable by techies who don't daily drive Arch.
I know #Ansible could be a good option, meaning I have some flexibility with which distro. (I am open to different distros for this.) #Nix or #NixOS could also work, but the learning curve for that could be pretty steep (for me - steeper for the rest of the team), plus its non-standard approach to Linux might be confusing for some.
I guess some solution using a PXE boot and then an auto-deployed script or definition file?

Is the series of ellipses on the left an exposure/development calibration technique?
Ich versuchs nochmal etwas konkreter: Arbeitet hier jemand bei einem Nachlassgericht und könnte mir ein, zwei Recherchefragen beantworten?
Danke schonmal vorab!
Fedi #hivemind I need you.
I use OneNote in work. It's shit, but it's all I have. I need a better way of managing my notes and particularly my to do list. The latter is really the most important. Ideally it has an option to set "next action" so I know what's due on any given day.
I can't install anything on my work laptop, so I intend to run it on my personal Ubuntu machine, for both work and home.
Any recommendations?
Is the implementation of the UK #onlinesafetyact tomorrow going to go smoothly, or will it be a complete car crash? '#hivemind
Ok, this is driving me crazy: The new place we bought has this cover-plate on the wall separating the entranceway from the garage. I need to know what it is/was for. I suspect it was part of a home security system.
Google image search and TinEye couldn’t help me.
It spins on the wall, but I can’t figure out how to remove it to look underneath. It’s about the size of a standard electrical cover plate.
I just caught myself singing a song. I have no idea what the song title or original artist is, and looking up the lyrics isn't helping. Does anyone recognize this?

Here's another one for the #blind #hiveMind primarily, but feel free to chime in if you have a good idea.
For an upcoming video/stream, I am looking into video editing as a #screenReader user. I'd like to cover both #mac and #windows and am curious what solutions have worked well for people in the past.
Conditions are no mouse usage at all, app needs to be screenreader-compatible, ideally somewhat full-featured both for #audio and #video.
Be it #iMovie, #Clipchamp, #quicktime, #reaper, a dreaded #AI tool, tell me thy success stories, thy struggles and thy findings! :) #accessibility
Linux #hivemind: Got a question for you regarding #tmux, #KittyTerminal, #KDEPlasma and #Fuzzel.
I've got a tiny bash script that uses Fuzzel to list the current running tmux sessions. This launches a new Kitty terminal attached to that session. So far so good. However, I'm currently not detecting whether an instance of Kitty is currently attached to that session.
Further to this, if there is a current Kitty session attached to it, I'd like to be able to switch to it rather than launch a new one.
What's the best way to do this? Do I need to detect the list of Kitty instances known by KWin? Should I set the Kitty window title to the tmux session name? Is there a better way?

I'm thinking of replacing my Nest #doorbell.
Wants:
Doorbell that rings (mine loses power and doesn't ring the bell)
Camera I can check on my phone
Wired, maybe PoE
Secure (not something controlled by a corp so probably #SelfHosting)
I have a couple ideas, but want to know what the #HiveMind thinks.
Edit to include self hosting.
I have a new Windows 11 installation in a VM, and installed NVDA. However, even though I have the lang attribute set to `fr` on the `html` element, NVDA still attempts to read the content as English. I am sure I am missing something in terms of configuration or something like that. Does anyone know where I am going wrong? #accessibility #hivemind @NVAccess
A question to the academic #HiveMind:
We are currently developing an extension to #ConfTool that will allow for the export of conference programmes as #BibTeX / #BibLaTeX . What would be your entry type of choice for otherwise unpublished conference presentations, posters etc.?
If you opt for “something else“, please provide your preference in a reply. Any comments are more than welcome.
Any #Russian speakers familiar with a card game called "Пасур"/"Pasur?"
Its a favorite among my family, but I'm trying to figure out the meaning of the name.
The Wikipedia article claims the name comes from Russian, but there are no references, and a DDG search only came up with a mention of place names.

Hey cat parents,
I let #FloofDaughter #Mira play with one of my [wool dryer balls], and she loves batting it around, but now the ball is shedding, and I want to get rid of it.
What's a good substitute? Something relatively cheap, soft, light, and that won't make a mess? ;)
Hello academic #hivemind - especially colleagues in #sociology and #politics - this is outside my field so pointers to foundational texts and current debates both welcome - and my apologies because this will be a lively toot.
Where can I find the best critical, empirically grounded debates on the definition of #fascism?
Please boost and fold in anyone who might have a well-honed contribution...
