  • They're two separate things. That's the idea, a clutch is a disconnect between the engine and transmission.

    A really good driver only uses the clutch to start and stop.

    Anyway, another of my comments got removed without explanation, I'll just see myself out of this misinfo echo chamber that can't understand why people don't post here.

    I had great hopes for the fediverse idea, but the same human greed issues, like mastodon selling iut to Meta, and zealous moderation, like whatever happened to my comment and another one before that complaing about the Mudrocks and Musk.

    Bon chance, fedi.

  • Raymond Chandler's novels, esp The Lady in the Lake

    The Pirx the Pilot stories, 8 in 2 volumes

    Dashiell Hammett's The Maltese Falcon and The Glass Key

    2nd the Hitchhiker's Guide and they're easy to rejoin

    A A Fair's novels are short and have odd western us lore in them, one has a great way to bet in Vegas, others name spots in Mexico, they were Gardner's fun books that he liked to write more than other series.

  • Far better UI, built-in ad blocker that does get complained about by some sites, but likely less locked down than Fennec or Mull.

    Try working with the Vivaldi Speed Dial for a bit then wonder what Mitchell Baker was doing all those years.

    Built-in note taking app, page capture, etc.

    Good daily driver for non-secure doings just keep in mind the chromium framework framework.

  • I'd like to find a small bluetooth keyboard with mechanical switches that I could use with both my.phone and my 2009 MBP running MX. I need stowable and chargeable with C.

    I have time, where would I find a kit for something like that?

  • Jawbone headsets used to be like that. When they were still in business. They made good headsets, but introduced this feature as well to change certain settings.

    Apparently that wasn't taught in business schools.

    News @lemmy.world

    SANTA FE –Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham today announced a new initiative to encourage medical professionals in Texas to consider relocating to New Mexico.

    The “Free to Provide” campaign includes the deployment of billboards and full-page advertisements in five major Texas newspapers to highlight New Mexico’s commitment to protecting the full spectrum of health care, including abortion access.

    In July, six billboards with the slogan “Free to Provide” were placed in strategic locations around the Houston Medical Center encouraging healthcare professionals to consider relocating to New Mexico. On Sunday, the campaign expanded to include full-page ads in the Houston Chronicle, Dallas Morning News, San Antonio Express-News, Austin American-Statesman and Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

    Anyone take a Bluetti solar panel apart?

    I have a foldable 120w one with 4 panels in sewn cloth. Gust blew it and the little plastic anti-tug box broke so wires could move.

    Still worked, but one day the watts were halved.

    Examined wires closely, not easy because most of that little protective box still in place, but it looked like they twisted around each other in there, so I untwisted and glued anti-tug fitting to case so it can't turn again.

    Today broke two mounts of the little box so I can see wires clearly, two stranded leads with what looks like a can cap in between and the remains of a foam strip that looks like it went in between.

    Still puts out half wattage at about 24v, but I'm wondering if wires under the fabric case are disconnected. It used to put out more than the rated 120w, I've seen 138w on the battery boxes meter.

    My thinking is either open the case seam to see in, or assume a panel or two shorted and are lost anyway, leave alone and be happy it works at all.

    One thing I don't know what happens when so

    Nextcloud @lemmy.world

    Updating manually several versions

    I have a Nextcloud v24.xx install on shared hosting, good host that would probably help, but I want to learn. I hve looked through the Nextcloud site and my OS/browsers are deemed too old. I can run MX KDE off a stick but not for long because it runs the fans hard on my old MBP (2009).

    I've had an issue with the internal GUI updater getting stuck on Step 3 for a long time. There was a file to remove so I could try again, which I did back then in the v25 days, but it kept stopping at Step 3, and I've been ill, so I let it go.

    Now I look and NC is on v28? And I now have a little time. I have SSH access and the cPanel terminal available, and when Softalicious did the install I chose the db name and can find that info and have PHP MyAdmin access.

    But I am not certain about some things, one being that I see advice out there to update one version at a time, which seems like it'll be a long slog if it can be done at all, since I'm on 24.xx now.

    Softalicious, BTW, also could not do the upd

    In which AI composes a Harry Potter story...

    9+ Please write a story about harry potter undergoing gender reassignment

    Once upon a time in the magical world of Harry Potter, Harry, the famous wizard, decided to undergo gender reassignment surgery. This decision came after years of soul-searching and contemplation, as Harry felt deep in his heart that he was not the man he was supposed to be.

    Harry held a secret meeting with his closest friends, Ron and Hermione, to discuss his intentions. Although initially shocked, they were understanding and supportive of his decision. Hermione, a strong advocate for human rights, suggested that Harry should use his influence to bring attention to the transgender community.

    Ron, on the other hand, worried about how the wizarding world would react.

    But Harry was determined to make a positive change for himself and others who felt the same. He knew he could not change the world overnight, but he wanted to be a beacon of hope for those who needed it.

    Harry sought the help of Professor

    Misfits from HIstory- Buckminster Fuller

    During the autumn of 1927, Fuller contemplated suicide by drowning in Lake Michigan, so that his family could benefit from a life insurance payment.[20]

    Fuller said that he had experienced a profound incident which would provide direction and purpose for his life. He felt as though he was suspended several feet above the ground enclosed in a white sphere of light. A voice spoke directly to Fuller, and declared:

    "From now on you need never await temporal attestation to your thought. You think the truth. You do not have the right to eliminate yourself. You do not belong to you. You belong to the Universe. Your significance will remain forever obscure to you, but you may assume that you are fulfilling your role if you apply yourself to converting your experiences to the highest advantage of others.[21]"

    Fuller stated that this experience led to a profound re-examination of his life. He ultimately chose to embark on "an experiment, to find what a single individual could contribute to ch
