My apologies if my search skills missed this. Is there a list of Lemmy (and/or Mastodon) Instances that have already committed to blocking and/or defederating from Threads? Thanks!

Let’s have a quick support thread by folks whose hearts were broken by Bernard Cribbin’s final performance on Doctor Who. Rest in Peace, sir. You made our stars twinkle a bit brighter.

HyperMegaTech Super Pocket

HyperMegaTech Super Pocket - Lemmy.World

Let’s talk about the new pocket Evercade: The HyperMegaTech Super Pocket. Anyone else get one? I was pleasantly surprised by several aspects of mine: - I knew from early reviews, and the specs that the screen would be good. But somehow I didn’t expect the screen to be this good. - The sound stays muted between reboots. Many devices in this size and price don’t remember their sound setting, and so make a boot sound every time. - Most (all?) Evercade games save to the cart, not to the system. So I can resume my progress started on my Evercade VS. - The built in games on the Taito model are all bangers. - There’s a lot of Evercade titles that really shine for playing for a few minutes while waiting in a doctor’s office lobby or something. So much if this game collection shines in pocket form. Particularly Indie Heroes and Oliver Twins. Disappointing: - There’s not a lot of Evercade games that use L1 through R2, but I am, so far, not enjoying the placement of those buttons. I’m happy to have the buttons there at all, at this price, but I hope future versions might move them up a bit for a more relaxed grip. - The available cases for it spoil it fitting into a pocket. I’ll probably add a screen protector instead. - The included Taito games would be absolutely worth it to rebuy for playing on Evercade VS. I hope they get a cartridge release. Overall: I wanted this for it’s pocket convenience, and it surpassed my expectations.

Advice on Pinhole access to a Synology

Advice on Pinhole access to a Synology - Lemmy.World

I got a Synology Network Attached Storage (NAS) device, and a week later I’m using it for photo backup, shared Excel files with my spouse, and to run some home security cameras. Since the NAS is on my home network z I’m realizing I’m going to miss being able to access these services out and about, like I could when I was using cloud services. Does anyone have experience sharing Synology NAS functionality on the broader Internet? For some context, I know enough not to do anything really foolish. But what I don’t know is what ways have worked best for others to access their Synology remotely? Anyone using their Synology behind an inbound Virtual Private Network (VPN)? Anyone just making it routable with strong passwords over IPV6? Maybe with a simple Web Application Firewall (WAF) to limit traffic to what is expected? Anyone using Synology’s cloud for this stuff? I would like to setup something, and would love to benefit from your experiences.

October update to Target Store app no longer work on Android without Google Services Framework - Lemmy.world

For those of us running GrapheneOS, Beware that the latest update to the Target store app for Android requires Google Services Framework (GSF) and does not work properly on GrapheneOS, even, apparently, with the compatibility layer enabled. Fluff piece confirming the app was rewritten [https://m.startribune.com/target-launches-two-new-apps-updates-others/278273561/] If you use Aurora app store, you can download the previous, still functional, version using this version code: versionCode 1906002333 This version can only be installed via Aurora after uninstalling the newer version.

Hot Take: Twisted Metal III

Hot Take: Twisted Metal III - Lemmy.world

I’ve been revisiting some classic Playstation 1 games, and many of them hold up. I didn’t have access to the larger gamer community when I first played these games, so it’s been fun to re-discover them through the eyes of the gamer community. I’ve learned secrets, strategies and stories about how these games are developed. I’ve also learned - apparently many of you hated Twisted Metal III. While I don’t argue against Twisted Metal II as the high water mark, here’s my hot take: Twisted Metal III was a perfectly serviceable sequel and provided more fun for those of us who overplayed II so much that we even beat the game as Grasshopper and Roadkill. So I’m curious - is it just vocal minority or most of you who felt let down by Twisted Metal III?
