Guide to make vector topo maps with JOSM and Inkscape (infinitely scaleable paper wall maps)
  • I loved maperitive. But it has not been maintained for ages.

    If they opened it up, I'm sure it would get some love for the community as it is a really cool tool that could go much further than it has already.

    Sigh.

  • how to install Merkuro!?
  • I think I am just going to have to wait. I am hanging out for a good replacement for the office suite. I am currently using better bird which is good, but there are a few things that get to me, one being that I am in an unreliable internet country and the offline support has issues

  • how to install Merkuro!?
  • Ah, within the container ... Some research required!

    That said, I thought I was just missing something obvious, but since there has been no forthcoming answers, I assume it is not quite ready for people who are not willing to compile from scratch

    how to install Merkuro!?

    Hi, i have been using KDE (now on KDE Neon)for a while as my daily driver and have been wanting to improve the email/calendar situation.

    I have seen Merkuro releases and announcements, but no instructions on how to install it!

    TIA

    Kubuntu vs Neon?
  • I have, seems nice so far. Plasma 6 is pretty slick, and I think Im going to like the up to date desktop.

    Now I have to go through and reinstall everything. At the moment I am trying flatpaks, as I want to avoid the snaps.

    If there issues, I'll try and come back and comment

  • Kubuntu vs Neon?
  • I have this same question right now.

    I'm going to try neon now (literally writing it to USB now). Not at the point to jump off of Ubuntu/Debian based distros right now

  • Service to store and share WiFi credentials

    This is a bit of an odd one,

    I have just moved to another country where internet is very expensive, and i would like to have an app to create a shared list of Wifi creds where i find them, whether that is offices, hotels or cafes, etc.

    It would kind of be like the OpenWifi Map, but maybe a bit more private?

    Does anyone know of anything like this? it would be able to tell where you are and alert you or autoconnet to the wifi using the credentials that are stored.

    The reason i want it to be shared is that my wife can use the ones that i find and vice-versa.

    cheers

    Axed from Super Rugby not so long ago, the Western Force have almost come full-circle
    www.abc.net.au Axed from Super Rugby not so long ago, the Western Force have almost come full-circle

    As the 2024 Super Rugby season begins, the Western Force — a club that was unceremoniously dumped just a few short years ago — enter the new campaign looking to stamp their authority on the competition.

    Axed from Super Rugby not so long ago, the Western Force have almost come full-circle

    Super rugby kicks off tonight. How many teams will still be solvent by the end of the season?

    Offshoring my solutions

    Hey y'all!

    I am after the colelctive expertise of this fantastic community. My family and i are moving overseas for a year for a pacific adventure, which leaves my hosting setup in a bind. We will be renting out our house and i will need to move all of my 'servers' (read laptop and NAS) out.

    All of my services are in docker.

    My main services that i MUST keep are:

    • Immich
      • 600Gb or so
      • very important as we will be taking a HEAP of photos.
    • paperless
    • vaultwarden
    • custom location tracking service
    • radicale

    I would also like to make it so that all of my media is still available, but i may need to get a set up at a friends house. I have jellyfin plus a bunch of *arr's

    I was thinking a mix between at a mates house and a cloud server.

    any thoughts?

    edit: a lot of my services are exposed publicly, via Nginx proxy manager.

    Animal Justice Party's Georgie Purcell has responded after Channel Nine apologised for using a digitally altered image of the MP during a broadcast on its news coverage last night.

    'It should never happen again': Victorian MP responds to Nine's apology for digitally altered image

    oh dear. i thought it was a belt, not the addition of a mid rift top...

    why would that happen anyway? seems stupid to me. why mid rift midriff!?!

    edit: turns out i was a bit too literal... it is a rift in the middle of her clothes...

    RPi client for tv

    My jellyfin server is all set up and ready to go.l, but I want to replace my Kodi box, it is just painful.

    Is there a nice way to setup a rPi to run as a client, that just turns on and looks like a media centre? Ie, it loads up and is ready to go at power on?

    recommendations for musician tablets & software

    Hi all, I am looking for a starter tablet to show tabs, and in the future potentially musical notation.

    As a starter into i am looking for ideas on what sort of tablet. Is 10" big enough? and what are some good apps for it?

    My preference is Android, but if all else fails, an iPad could work.

    cheers

    Eddie Jones has walked away from Australian rugby after handing in his resignation as Wallabies coach.

    Eddie Jones ends disastrous Australian return and resigns as Wallabies coach

    well, the shit show that was dropping Rennie 9 months out from a World Cup seems to be over (thank fuck) what a disastrous idea, trying to buy world cup experience by kicking out the bloke who had decent success with 30 injured players.

    eReaders for Selfhosted book collections

    Hi fellow hosters! I really did not know where to ask this question - and i thought you lot are pretty similar to me. If you can think of somewhere else to post this, please let me know!

    I am looking for a solution to be able to host my own books (something like calibre i guess), that i can easily push them to a yet-to-be-purchased eReader.

    Firstly - What eReader are you using that allows you to add any number of book sources to? i would also like to include my local library subscription, as well as locally hosted and purchased ones.

    Secondly - Any hints on hosting a book collection. (Readarr v calibre, etc), where you get books from, removing DRM from eBooks that you buy, that sort of stuff.

    thanks!

    Farming Dung Beetles for Farmers Farming other things
    www.abc.net.au They reduce flies and improve the soil, so this farmer is actually breeding dung beetles

    Farmers in Western Australia begin breeding their own stocks of the bugs, which are proving hugely beneficial to farm and animal health.

    They reduce flies and improve the soil, so this farmer is actually breeding dung beetles

    I love seeing this sort of thing in Farming. Are there any other places where dungbeetles are used as an input to a farm?

    What other insects are being introduced to farms? I know of bees (pollination) and ladybirds (pest control)

    sorting of 'favourite' comms

    Hey lemmings.

    I find that I am not seeing what I am Interested in from the smaller comms I have subscribed to.

    Is there a way to increase their visibility?

    I was think it would be useful to put a multiplier on the scores of various comms, ie !perth@aussie.zone can have a 5x multiplier so that is see more of those posts, in comparison to other larger comms.

    I am having to go to the comms explicitly to see their posts.

    Cheers!

    A real world analysis of a near-100% renewable grid in Australia - Year 2.
    reneweconomy.com.au A near 100pct renewable grid for Australia is feasible and affordable, with just a few hours of storage

    Two years of simulations show that very close to 100% renewable electricity is affordable and feasible for Australia’s main grid, using just a few hours of battery storage.

    A near 100pct renewable grid for Australia is feasible and affordable, with just a few hours of storage

    This is a great article that uses real data to see how our grid world perform with greater wind, solar and storage. It shows that we can easily achieve a 95% renewable grid with a modest level of storage.

    What i really like about this, is it has been running for 2 years now, and it is pragmatic about its aims (ie, not 100%), it aims for reality (this is real data that is collected weekly), and it looks at the cost (in $$ and CO2-e).

    He sets some targets (60% Wind, 45% Solar + storage), then works off of the actual data to scale the wind & solar generation, to see how it would meet demand. excess is accumulated in storage (theoretical battery storage and actual hydro), and shortfalls is taken from storage.

    The really nice part shows where "other" is required, in Australia's case, existing fossil fueled peaker plants.

    I often use his 1st year report to have the discussion with "non-believers" to show what is possible, and where the gaps are to achieveing a renewable grid.

    Have a read and let me know what you think.
