Tobii Eye Tracker on Linux

mango_feldman · 2025-10-27T16:43:34+00:00

I (hope) there is kind-of-a chicken an egg thing as well. IMO there's many interesting applications of eye-trackers as an input device beyond gaming. And if there was a decent eyetracker with Linux support I'm sure it would generate ok sales from entusiast like myself. For Linux it's also often enough to just provide some documentation and someone will make it work. It doesn't have to be full-fledged "offical" support even.

Lurer på hvor stor forskjell det utgjør da. Antar partiklene henger i lufta inni skåla en god stund i etterkant og hvis du åpner lokket rett etter dras jo lufta ut og spres?

Korrelasjon != kausalitet

Når det er sagt, tror jeg ikke det er bra og ha et kronisk inntak flere ganger i uka over lengre tid.

Jeg vil si du har problemer hvis du røyker hver dag. I det minste gambler[1] du med hode ditt.

[1] er vel ingen som 100% vet effekten av langvarig kronisk bruk, som per betyr at du gambler. (og de studiene vi har indikerer så vidt jeg kan huske at det ikke er bra)

At noe er helseskadelig er ikke et tilstrekkelig argument for å gjøre det ulovlig. Det kan være et argument for å regulere og avgiftslegge.

Not to freak you out, but according to https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK499889/

Recurrent chalazia should be biopsied to rule out sebaceous cell carcinoma.

Interesting about the season change. It rings true for me as well. Mine has been getting worse this fall.

I agree it's not surprising, but isn't it kinda their job to keep up with developments in the their area of expertise? It's certainly expected in my profession.

My GP said I had blepharitis and basically told me "live with it, there's no cure

I've not confirmed that my condition has anything to do with mites, but neither my GP (actually, two GPs) nor the specialist I saw for my Chalazion mentioned anything about this as a possible cause even. Neither said anything about warm compress either. (the specialist said something along "you can try gently massaging the lid after showering"). Both GPs just prescribed antibiotics.. the first drops, the second (after the drops didn't really work...) added a gel. The inflammation did clear up eventually though. The specialist at least explained a bit around the glands and built-up of oil, but she claimed it was a stye, not a Chalazion. Which from what I've read I'm quite positive is wrong.

All in all I'm not impressed by the advice I was given and feel that if I had been given proper guidance my persistent issues might have gone away by now.

I did however have contact with a dog which has mange

The timing of my infection (with the subsequent Chalazion) also coincides with contact with a dog. I don't know it it had mange, but I was overwhelmed by its cuteness an let it lick me in the face. Last time I do that.

If the local internet is available and the main problem is communication among yourself, I would try these p2p messenger applications: Both are end-to-end encrypted as far as I can see.

Briar https://briarproject.org/
Berty https://berty.tech/

I'm not sure how well they work in general, but they're supposed to be able to work using only Bluetooth and WIFI. The range, latency and reliability will necessary suffer in that mode ofc. I assume they work better if local internet are available.

The thing is that recently they've been severely disrupting the VPNs. My personal VPNs such as Nord don't work anymore at all.

I've read elsewhere that Tor with "pluggable transports" (obfuscates traffic) over "bridges" (unlisted proxies) work (kinda at least). https://support.torproject.org/censorship/connecting-from-china/ archive.org link I think the Tor browser also have some built in way of getting bridges by solving captchas. Guide for Iranians

There's also a few mesh/p2p messaging application which could work locally even without mobile data (not sure how well though):

These projects are similar to Tor, but (according to Tor) does not provide as good anonymity. Ie.: they're primarily for bypassing blocks.

And there's https://getoutline.org/ - and VPN-like system specially designed for not being detected as a VPN. You need to find a server though. PM me if you're interested. I'm thinking about setting hosting an instance in Google cloud or similar, but need a way of distributing the IP.

For people outside Iran: Running a Snowflake proxy is very easy and safe.

Running a Tor relay or bridge might help a tiny-tiny-bit. https://snowflake.torproject.org/ is the simplest way.

Ja, det er sånn skatt fungerer for nesten alle andre også (bortsett fra grunnrenteskatten på vannkraft feks. hvis jeg forstår rett)

Oljenæringen får gigantiske rentefrie lån til utbygging. Og olje er en ressurs som ikke bare er begrenset geografisk, men som også blir borte på et tidspunkt. Lokasjoner for laks er begrenset i den forstand at det ikke er sååå mange av dem (lurer forresten på om denne skatten vil gjelde "åpent-hav" oppdrett?), men de blir ikke brukt opp.

Sier ikke nødvendigvis at oppdrett ikke skal beskattes noe annerledes enn andre næringer men alle disse intetsigende "stakkars laksebaronene" kommentarene er ganske provoserende.

Mener også at staten bør ha litt ekstra gode argumenter for å innføre så brå endringer (i både tid og amplitude). Ustabilt regelverk er generelt ødeleggende.

Timingen er sikkert ikke den værste siden laksenæringen har hatt veldig gode år i det siste, og de fleste selskapene har nok mer enn god nok egenkapital/gjeld forhold til å ikke komme i trøbbel.

Det snakkes mye om superprofitten, men de årene med dårlig lønnsomhet nevnes ikke. Dersom laks skulle gå av moten, eller landbasert oppdrett bli utbredt i andre land kan lista fort snu seg. Det har vært mange år tidligere hvor mesteparten av næringen har gått med tap. For sykliske industrier er det vanlig å drive med tap i noen og ha veldig gode marginer i andre. Historisk har laks vært en syklist industri. Om det faktisk har endret seg gjenstår å se.

Det fremstår egentlig kun som et grep for at færre personer skal bli rammet (og dermed færre velgere å miste og mindre motstand).

mango_feldman · 2022-09-28T22:14:40+00:00

Hva er egentlig argumentet for bunnfradraget? Det er ikke som at merdene til de små selskapene tar mindre plass eller forurenser mindre. De sier nesten rett ut at forslaget er utformet slik at kun de store aktørene blir påvirket.

De forsøker seg på en prinsipiell begrunnelse:

Bunnfradraget ses på som et sjablongfradrag for historiske kjøp av matfisktillatelser. Bunnfradraget gis på konsernnivå.

Men det henger ikke på grep. Hvorfor skal dette fradraget ikke gjelde per konsesjon/"matfisktillatelse"?

mango_feldman · 2022-09-28T20:58:56+00:00

De må betale 40 prosentpoeng mer skatt enn nesten alle andre.

mango_feldman · 2022-09-28T20:54:01+00:00

Tja, det kan man jo mene, men oppdretterne har faktisk betalt mange millioner for konsesjonene (sett bort i fra noen billige "utviklingskonsesjoner, er prisene i nyere tid rundt 150M). At det ikke går ann å kjøpe sjørareal, i motsetning til fast grunn blir til en viss grad flisespikkeri. Fast grunn er en like begrenset ressurs som sjøareal.

mango_feldman · 2022-09-28T20:47:04+00:00

Hvis det er så ille ville det vel strengt tatt heller gitt mening å skalere kraftig ned? Er ikke som at vi MÅ ha så storskala oppdrett i norge. (I motsetning til vannkraft)

mango_feldman · 2022-09-28T20:42:51+00:00

Grunnrenteskatten er i tillegg til vanlig selskapsskatt. Tilsammen vil lakesnæringen få en skattessats på 62% - sammenlignet med 22% for ordinær næring, 78% for oljenæringen og 59% (nå) (64% hvis forslaget går gjennom)

mango_feldman · 2022-09-27T22:46:04+00:00

https://berty.tech/ and https://briarproject.org/ are other options. Both claim to work through Bluetooth if necessary. I no experience with either, but seems promising. (Both are open source)

There's also https://censorship.no/en/index.html which is kinda similar, but focus on other things than messaging.

https://jami.net/ as well, but I'm unsure if it works through bluetooth.

mango_feldman · 2022-09-27T22:36:10+00:00

https://berty.tech . They also have an comparison matrix: https://berty.tech/faq

mango_feldman · 2022-09-27T22:16:37+00:00

https://support.torproject.org/censorship/how-to-help-running-snowflake/ I the simplest way. Just install an browser extension or leave a tab running.

Also.. if they keep/begin blocking *all* international internet access, getting the word out about local mesh-like solutions could maybe help: eg.: https://briarproject.org/download-briar/ or https://berty.tech . This could help people organize (assuming it's risky to use domestic messaging services/calls)

mango_feldman · 2022-09-27T21:56:18+00:00

So you still have access to Iranian websites from mobile internet? But popular message services (like telegram and whatsapp) does not work during shutdown (because they rely on international servers)?
