#lazyweb and #animation crew rise up!

I'm working on a video for a blog post, and I am realizing that I could really use some animations to illustrate some ideas in a more direct way than what royalty free video will provide.

I have basically no experience in animation and I don't want to be a pro.

What can I use that is easy (seriously), free, and ideally open source (but will bend on this for easy)?

I run #linux and can run #macos Catalina. Comfortable #selfhosting

Boosts appreciated!

Dear #LazyWeb: Is there a central, comprehensive list of all the extensions to Terminfo that are currently floating around?

Today, I learned about the `Smulx` capability, which lets you underline text in a variety of styles. This capability is not an official part of Terminfo (i.e. it doesn't appear in the terminfo(5) man page), but apparently is something that first showed up in Kitty, and is now spreading. See also VTE, alacritty, etc.

Surely, someone's keeping a list...?

Dear #lazyweb, what's a good iPad (or if I must, macOS/Windows/web) app for mapping out unknown territory? Grid, icons/labels, ability to gauge distance, that sort of thing. Needs to NOT be real-world map based.

Diagram tools like Vizio/OmniGraffle are like 80% there but lack the distance gauging thing.

(Yes this is about #Subnautica, lmao. No I do not want to just use other peoples' maps!)

Dear #lazyweb, does any anyone know how to get the #tasmota #pio build system to regenerate the .bec and .tapp files? There seem to be hints about a "solidify" step but nothing to trigger it from the build system.
#Lazyweb, who has experience with #iPod batteries and can share a good source/brand for a replacement battery for an iPod nano 3rd generation? Yes, I checked, #iFixIt doesn't sell that one in Europe for some reason. They do have one for my older iPod classic 6th gen though :)

#LazyWeb question: Looking at the #Meshtastic world map[1], it seems Iran's internet/comms shutdown[2] is also including #LoRa bands, but it's hard to find conclusive information about it, though I would assume that if a govt/regime is cutting off comms, it's doing so comprehensively... Of course, there's the (unlikely) possibility for there to be zero nodes in the country to begin with... Anyone knows more?

This insight seems quite important to understand (not just for Iran) and how it potentially re-frames (or constrains) the "networking without internet" to purely non-conflict situations (e.g. being physically out of range of other networks, rather than caused by active suppression)

Riddle me this, Fediverse.

#plptools uses #gnulib. On #FreeBSD 14.x, everything compiles fine. However, on FreeBSD 15.0, I get the following error:

ld: error: undefined symbol: rpl_fnmatch

What's changed between 14 and 15 that would cause this? More likely, what's confused gnulib in FreeBSD 15?

#lazyweb Is it correct to say that the 68000 and 68008 only have atomic load/stores of 16-bit and 8-bits respectively*?

* Unlike most CPUs, an interrupt will pause the current instruction and continue from where it left off. But I haven't read the patent or RE'd microcode. So not clear to me if 68000 will wait to honor an interrupt until after an up-to-32-bit load/store completes.

algún día entenderé por qué los servicios de música en streaming no permiten poner comentarios, privados y públicos, a discos y pistas.

#lazyweb ¿algún cliente alternativo (web o Android, compatible con Tidal a poder ser) que añada la posibilidad?
