Hankalaa kyllä rannekellonkin kanssa, pitää ottaa yksi läpi isommalle ja hihan allehan se päätyy. Talvitakeissa vasen hihansuu kuluu kun pitää kokoajan olla nykimässä.

I’ve seen a lot of IT jobs peddled and settled on irc still in this day and age.

Finland here; I used to push the bike season to the max, one year I rode still in the first week of December (nice day for a 130 km trip one way, but the ride back in the dark with icing rain on goggles and nothing to wipe them with was the worst time I ever had on a bike) and started in March (my only time falling on a bike, on black ice)…

Now I’m content bringing my baby inside to the comfort of the house when it first starts pushing toward 0 °C over nights, doing maintenance and maybe putting on a coat of wax. Building up the urge to fly again next spring. To everything there is a season :)

Here’s one who always liked customising the daily driver computers - Sway, custom configs, painting the laptop cover with very permanent enamel paint. Reasons are to make it run reliably, serving my preferences and looking nice and cared for.

Similar reasons apply with the car and motorcycle, only with the car it’s not cheap fun (bike stuff is actually very reasonably priced). But I figured since I get paid every month, I’m going to use money on what sparks joy. And I’m keeping it sensible, only one car and bike at a time :}

My scheme might come useful to somebody.

On the home server, there is a 2 Tb solid state drive and a 2 Tb spinning drive. Stuff goes on the SSD, it’s a regular ext4 volume mounted at /work. The spinning drive is configured to spin down after 10 min when not in use.

Once a week a script mounts the spinny one, runs an rsync from SSD to it, then unmounts. Thus the spinny one only runs about 20 min per week: it’s going to last forever. If the SSD borks it’s easily replaced and repopulated.

I’ve ran a 4 in, 4 out ADAT-CAT5 snake thingy on Linux, so 32 channels in and out. The remote end was synced via Word Clock with the Linux box providing master clock. RME RayDat for a soundcard, RME converters in the remote rack. Worked 100 % flawlessly, I even did live sound on it. ADAT is a ‘just works’ thing, go for it. You just need to understand that one device needs to be the clock master and others follow that.

Thumb-key by Lemmy’s own dessalines. I even contributed a layout early on, and it’s still there.

Thanks for this 😊 It certainly wasn’t easy to let the muse go, here’s hoping you will manage it smoothly - or better, find a way to keep the flame going ❣️

Music. I played piano since very young, started making tracks on 4-track and the Amiga around 10 years old, kept going deeper with the demoscene and playing in + recording bands. Went on to do a music degree, got a job making music…

Hobby became serious, then it turned into a ball and chain. I turned around, did a second degree and started working in a different field. Thought I’d keep music as a hobby, but now it presents a different face: no point in making tracks if nobody but me ever listens, nor is there point in producing other people for free with all the invested time most likely never being too fruitful.

I did find a new hobby though. Working out is the antithesis to working on art projects. Put an hour in, get an hour’s worth of gains back. Love it :D

Looks lovely, congratulations! Amazing carbonation result too. I’m going to do a take on this one day, since we have raspberry all over too.

Aachtchually… an amateur is ‘one who loves’ to do something rather than does it for the bucks. Implying passion more than lack of aptitude.

In any case, I dig the meme :D

We got ‘taste masks’ now that can simulate eating any delicacy, even in slow motion, without a single calorie to burn afterwards. You just scan the food with this wireless scanner.

How would you see this being implemented? I mean, how in your view could preferences like this be implemented in a user-friendly manner in the app without being overly complicated? Asking for real, since this is a use case that you have personally dealt with.

The meta aspect of ‘shit’ has to be up there.

Kapinamieliala on nousussa. Käyttämäni sää-äpyrä veti hiljattain tällaisen mielenosoituksen…

Kyllä pikkuhiljaa vaikuttaa olevan aika kypsä tarttua mainline-Linux -kapulaan.

One more for Inkscape - I’ve made antenna stencils that need millimeter accuracy with it. LibreOffice Draw is even easier and can do much of the same stuff.

Thank you all! Over 25 years on Linux and still new learnings to discover…

Thanks - this is what I did with a ‘you had one job’ look beaming at the terminal after realising the hidden files were missed and indeed it did the trick.

One thing that city people have a problem with is smart electricity meters doing their own mesh thing on the same frequency. There’s so many of them that a lot of the time they drown out the polite little chatter of nodes. This is certainly the situation in the EU 868 MHz band.
