Tschuldigung, aber als ich das auf Dach fand konnte ich nicht anders. Danke an Nutzer 'Der aus Aux'. Original Pfosten.

I recently created a handful of scripts for polybar, to add some missing functionality that I wanted.

• VPN status
• dual battery info
• connected bluetooth devices
• available package updates

Thought I might share, in case anyone finds them useful or wants to modify them for other use cases.

Cheers!

I was reading about Dungeon Meshi and Kuro, the "kobold".

Kobolds are usually depicted as canine humanoids in Japanese media compared to the more reptilian humanoids that kobolds are depicted as in western media[4] such as Dungeons and Dragons. The reason for this is credited as either a mistranslation of the first Dungeons and Dragons Monster Manual[5] or because of the lack of reference art in said Monster Manual, but a picture of a jackalwere being present on the opposite page[6], which was then used as reference art for the anime, The Record of the Lodoss War. That anime is credited for solidifying the trope of canine kobolds in Japanese media.

WASHINGTON—Warning that interior defenses were spread too thin, experts confirmed this week that Team USA’s arrival in France for the Olympics had left America’s own basketball rims largely unguarded. “In a strategic blunder of historic proportions, the U.S. men’s national basketball team landing in Paris has left an uncontested path to the basket,” said national security expert Emmett Stein, explaining that Americans lacked the necessary shot blockers and bigs to protect the paint on courts at home. “At the current moment, our nation is woefully vulnerable to foreign threats against basketball rims on its own shores. A foreign player with a basketball at the top of the key could drive for an easy layup with little resistance.” At press time, America was devastated after foreign basketball adversaries attacked a domestic rim with a tomahawk dunk.

Decided to restore this old thing from out in the shed. It was in the weather for a couple of years, and I think it's 20+ years old.

Replaced the pump with a USB powered 5 watt silent one.

Replaced the halogen lamp with an LED one.

Cleaned as much as I could.

Seems to be working well. How long the $12 ebay pump lasts remains to be seen.

How to update BIOS on a system that only use Linux as OS.

Asking this because some clowns at Acer decided that they will only provide BIOS updates through Windows Update.

Edit: I'm not talking about installing the BIOS file. They don't even provide BIOS file in the first place.

Very interesting article!

In a retrospective review of the Dollars Trilogy, Paul Martinovic of Den of Geek said, "For A Few Dollars More is often overlooked in the trilogy, awkwardly sandwiched between both the original film and the best-known, but it's a stunning film in its own right."[30] Paolo Sardinas of MovieWeb said, "Eastwood gives it his all and turns in another iconic performance along with scene stealer Lee Van Cleef, who helps make For a Few Dollars More twice as good as its predecessor."[31] Film historian Richard Schickel, in his biography of Clint Eastwood, believed that this was the best film in the trilogy, arguing that it was "more elegant and complex than A Fistful of Dollars and more tense and compressed than The Good, the Bad and the Ugly". Director Alex Cox considered the church scene to be one of "the most horrible deaths" of any Western, describing Volonté's Indio as the "most diabolical Western villain of all time".[32]

The "Dollars Trilogy" is made up of:

• "A Fistful of Dollars" which was posted here previously: https://lemmy.world/post/16507343

• this movie, "For A Few Dollars More", https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsuFuSxllis (which is https://redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=DsuFuSxllis on invidious)

• BONUS MOVIE: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7ukuap WARNING I didn't post this individually because the stream messes up and starts "buffering" at 2 hours and 55 minutes (just at the end) which is a nuisance. Of course you want to see the end of the movie, so here's a video clip that is ONLY the end of that movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0-rb4QQlp0
