I’m so used to everything we do being another stride into a dystopian hellscape that it took me a moment to realise that this wasn’t (in any immediately obvious way) the government helping the fuel industry. This treaty is absolute nonsense, and should never have been ratified in the first place, so this is actually good news, unless they’ve somehow thought of something worse to replace it with
Joplin looks pretty damn good, my question is about the diagram function - basically, I take on more than I can manage, and have made my life a bit of a tangled hellscape. I’m looking to visually organise the physical projects I have started, and see which parts are holding up other projects. Essentially, columns of blocks for steps to complete one thing, each block being its own note, and visually showing if there are steps in other columns on which this block depends, or depends on this. Can it do that?
The way you describe these programs, and their websites suggest that they’re actually going to be way more useful than just my intended use case, I’ve never really considered replacing my basic notes with something like this. I used Evernote for a while, but they made more and more features paid, and it got much less useful in comparison to the iOS notes app, so I’ve just stuck with that for ages. What you say about a mature app with continued support really matters. Photobucket are working their absolute hardest to prove that point at the moment.
Is it by smashing stuff together until they break something fundamental, and the universe goes dark?
I would thoroughly recommend the book “Rewilding the sea” for more of this kind of cautiously optimistic sea-based stuff. It also goes into a lot of detail about the details of how and why it’s happening.
And the winner of The Most Scandinavian Sentence of the Year goes to…
Angle grinder and an axe, that man has balls of steel. Fair play to him!
Well I never knew that! Nice explanation, thanks
I take on or start too many projects, and often get to a place where they’re so intertwined and tangled that I just stall.
Is there a simple free project organisation app that would help me last the chunks of what I need to do out, and see which ones are holding up parts of other projects? It might make me feel less like I’m slowly being buried alive buy my own choices
Not a book, but one of the Daniels has said that Everything, Everywhere, All At Once is based on his experience of having all 80 of the HDs.
Also, having written that like that reminded me that there’s a character in the Dogman kids graphic novel called 80hd
I really got that impression reading it, you’re right on the money
My life might generally be a train wreck, but god damn am I good at emergencies, especially the “we’ve turned a truck over in a silly place” “The digger’s half sink in the lake” kind. The wheels constantly come off things like keeping my house from being a war zone, but when the actual wheels come off, I’m actually fitting on all cylinders for once. It’s a kind of crap trade off, but I’m not sure how much I’d want to change it!
One of my friends once called me pedantic, and I got to correct his pronunciation of it - he stressed the first syllable. One of the high points of my life.
How about drone strikes then? Like big undeclared man made sources of methane get a drone up the corn hole.
No worries, there’s going to be a wealth of stuff I have to request myself with, it’s just another thing on the list. Thanks for pointing it out!
Nice one. It’s been a hot minute (or a warm couple of decades at least) since I’ve used Linux, but I had a play a short while back, and remembered more than I expected, so I’m going to turn an old Mac mini that I have spare into a media server
So it’ll go into suspension if I don’t deal with that at install, and I can’t turn it off later easily? That’s a dick, thanks for the warning
Can you recommend a distro for being a media server? I too have been complacent about my media habits, and the time has come to sort it out.
That would correlate to when I saw it. It’s actually pretty hard to photograph when the ground is frosty, as there’s so little contrast
Right, this is driving me up the wall. I’d really, really like a bag similar in layout to the Domke F2, but scaled to fit a GX9 and set of m43 lenses, if that makes sense.
All the shoulder bags I can find are either lacking in pockets and lens dividers, or are deep for FF lenses like my Thinktank bag, so everything gets lost in the depths.
Surely this can’t be such a big ask? Is there anything between little bags that hold a half a camera and one lens, and these deep messenger bags that would hold a whole studio’s worth of nonsense. Can I not have a Domke Fm4/3?
Is there such a thing as a list of the Cosmere books by series? Everything I’ve found so far either lists them book by book, with pictures and other bumf, or is just a chronological B list with all the non-Cosmere books jumbled in.
Essentially, I like to compile a bullet-pointed list in my notes app for my favourite authors and for a universe as complex as this, I’d like to have all the Mistborn listed under one subheading, Stormlight under another, etc, etc. I’m a bit anal about these things, and I like to be able to check them off and know I’ve got them all.
I’m sure it’s out there somewhere, just itching for me to come along and copy and paste it! Thanks in advance
I shoot on m4/3, so most of my filters are small. Most are 46mm, and the largest are 58mm. All the filter storage options are either large folding jobs that are long and wide, or are sort of stacked up but for large filters. I’d ideally like something like this, but for filters half the size.
What’s your best filter storage solution for say 10 filters, either 46mm or 58mm?
I have a feeling I know the answer, but thought it worth an ask, so here goes - I’ve not used FB in years, and generally try to keep fairly private online (Mullvad, librefox, etc) but I’ve found I’m missing out by not being able to use FB marketplace. If I set up a fresh account, and don’t use the social side of it at all, is there a fairly safe way to use Facebook? In a container, or in Mullvad browser with nothing else open? Or an an extreme, in a VM?
We’ve recently got a decent fibre gigabit connection, so after a lot of reading I bought a gl.i ax1800 Flint router to run Mullvad on, rather than having it on every device individually. The setup was simple, and while I know that it will impact speed to an extent, it seems to be really limiting the connection. Like to about 13mbps, which is slower than my almost non-existent 4g connection. From what I’ve read, I should expect the flint to be capable of giving me about 4/5ths of my connection speed, so on ours I’d been expecting something in the mid-hundreds, as I’m seeing 800mbps or so just on the cat 7 from the modem. It’s almost certainly my fault, or something I’ve overlooked in the setup, so any help or pointers would be much appreciated.
Hi all.
I’ve been looking for a pretty idiosyncratic Bluetooth speaker. Something that sounds good, isn’t in any way smart, and is just mains-powered.
Basically, I want something small for my small bedroom. No batteries to die, no unnecessary “smart” nonsense, just a fairly decent sound to listen to music/radio or podcasts from my laptop or phone.
Any suggestions?
The “block community” feature is pretty useful, but there are so, so many communities for the American hand-egg teams that blocking them individually is pretty tiring. Is there just an easy way to block the whole instance? It would also be pretty good for a few other instances I can think of.
Also, Memmy quits randomly pretty often, without any error reporting or anything. Is this common, and can I fix it?
