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.

From https://delicious-in-dungeon.fandom.com/wiki/Kobolds#cite_note-5

And the supporting youtube video https://m.youtube.com/shorts/rUntTZ6spOc

Bonus fact: piglike orcs.

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.

A farmer has said rewilding her land is a key way to look after nature and "give life back to the soil".

Alex Stevenson owns Jordan's Farm in Wakes Colne near Colchester, Essex, and hoped that rewilding 25 acres land at her farm would help the ecosystem to thrive.

The process of rewilding aims to let nature take care of itself and repair damaged ecosystems naturally.

Did they really expect North Koreans to be like "Oh shit, we were missing out on soulless baby music? Damn better give up our sovereignty!"

So yesterday I tested WiFi Direct against Quick Share and to my surprise (kinda) WiFi Direct was much faster than the latter

Tried sending a 1.21GB video file from a Galaxy S6 to a galaxy note 9

  • WiFi Direct: 54.71 MB/s
  • Quick Share: ~33 MB/s

OneUI can show network speed in real-time in the notification panel, that's how I captured these numbers and they were very stable and I did it multiple times just to confirm.

Unfortunately samsung and all other OEMs have basically killed WiFi Direct, I can only receive files, they removed the option to send files through WiFi Direct on newer versions of android (I think A11 and later) a long time ago that's why I can't do this test in reverse (from N9 to S6)

I tried looking up for an app on Google play store, galaxy store, F-Droid that can send files using WiFi Direct but found nothing, that's really puzzling for me, like why?! This standard is very old by now, it's been on our phones for more than a decade and yet no way to fully utilize it?!

For the ones who don't know WiFi Direct is a P2P connection.
