One of the few mallard drakes. Bravo

I always thought Ziggy was a cool name.

wouldn’t that be chili sin carne?

My wife was a bone conduction earphone candidate for multiple reasons and I convinced her to try some. Her first pair from Shokz died relatively quickly, but they sent her a replacement without much hassle. She likes them a lot. Every now and then I steal them for a bit. I call it the “voice of god” because when you play something through them it’s like telepathy. You can hear the outside unimpeded, but there’s also this extra sound being injected into your head. Would recommend.

I would just append that judging people is a good thing, often blanket misinterpreted as a bad thing. You should make an initial judgement upon meeting someone (it doesn’t really matter, your subconscious will anyway). The important part is being willing to update that judgement based on learning more.

Subbed. Just curious as to how (or if) you intend to differentiate yourself from the Jupiter Broadcasting team’s Selfhosted.show podcast?

I actually use both Logseq and Obsidian. It’s not perfect, but Obsidian is more my knowledgebase and Logseq is my journal and sort of TODO manager. I have them all within the same directory so I can reference my knowledgebase, append to it, etc. from within logseq or the inverse. main issue is since logseq loves the bullet points it tends to whack out my headings and stuff in obsidian made notes

I’m a logseq user of about 6 months and overall really like it. It’s mostly built around the daily journal, which mostly works if you lean into it. I basically write what I did, todo’s or random thoughts for the day in there. I typically segregate my root bullet points into a handful of main “buckets” like a job, client or project. I used to do those with a hashtag like #job1 but moved to page tags like [[job1]] with sub bullets for main tasks, todos, notes, etc from each. i have many relevant hashtags for relevant subsystems/topics relating to the main ones.

from there I have setup some basic pages for things like [[job1]] with a query to show TODOs with that task (see below), then some relevant reference notes, and sometimes some links to bullets from previous journals if i find i will likely reference them frequently. you also can see below the linked references, which is frequently useful. i also frequently put tags to other tags, pages, etc. within to help map everything together

here’s an example of a very basic query I would keep at the top of the [[job1]] page {{query (and [[job1]] (task NOW LATER DOING IN-PROGRESS TODO WAIT WAITING))[[job1]]}}

to your above, you have #workimprovements, you can either just jot those at the root as they come to you and include the full hashtag, or you could have a starting section of either [[workimprovements]] with various ideas below, but i would also suggest adding in other relevant hashtags for subtypes, areas, etc. another tip about hashtags, don’t go crazy with them – too many hashtags just makes a mess – but don’t skimp on them either. If you think you’ll use it frequently enough, or at least want to go back and reference it easily in the future, make a hashtag. you can use the hashtag plugin after the fact to find unused and remove hashtags you didn’t end up using.

one thing I really wish they would add is similar to hashtags, but for people. Right now, I “tag” people with an @ in front of their name, so I might have @BobS requested X which sort of helps to go back and search for things related to @BobS, but it’s not natively done for fully fleshed out. It would be awesome if there was either native or a plugin functionality to more gracefully tie it together

anyway, there’s my logseq ramble, hopefully it helps.

Plex probably isn’t the best example, but yes, you can use Tailscale to create a sort of mesh network to access devices within private networks. Essentially any device that’s connected to tailscale can be contacted by other clients connected to tailscale. There are extra routing things you can do to use a tailscale device as a sort of “exit node”, but that’s the basic gist.

I don’t think it’s necessarily universal in US libraries either. I’m not in a big city, but overall our library system is pretty good. They have a number of branches with “maker labs” so there are things like Cricuts, sewing machines, laser cutters, audio recording/production equipment and 3D printers you can rent. I’d recommend at least checking around.

Check your library. Mine has one available to use at many of the branches in my area. If I ever come up with something to print instead of buying one I’m going to try that out. Then if I decide to get really into it, I’ll have practical knowledge to know what I’d actually want to buy.

Instead, I’ve just never done any 3D printing, which is also fine.

I had to put in extra effort to find a manual (USA), but I was successful. I’m going to hold onto this thing in perpetuity until the wheels fall off or (reliable) fully autonomous vehicles are “standard”.

Nice, thanks. I looked before; either I missed it or it was an update feature

My opinion is probably in line with most; that for general “news” it’s just fine. For niche topics, most aren’t here or at least aren’t as robust as Reddit

There are two relatively minor features that I do wish would be implemented:

1. homepage defaults to Subscribed instead of all, or at least a way to set that as the default

2. a quick jump to top of page button that stays present when you’ve scrolled way down the page. Not sure if that was a RIF addition or native to Reddit, but that was a nice quality of life feature

I’m out of the loop, what’s the reference?

Vans slip ons FTW

If I know I’m going to need a flashlight, I pop on a headlamp for free hands. Phone for impromptu use.

My very first smartphone was a hand me down iPhone 3G. I ended up modding the piss out of it with jailbreak stuff. Eventually used a friend’s Android phone, which I hadn’t really interacted with at that point and realized I had essentially turned my iPhone into an Android. My next phone was an Android and all of them have been since. If you’re the type of person who likes (and gets value out of) doing tweaking, you probably should just get an Android. Many of the things you listed are doable with apps downloaded straight from the Google Play store.

Seconded for simplicity. If OP is looking for complex statistics, it may not do the trick, but it’s about as straightforward and quick to set up as a monitoring solution can get.

Put this on my list of projects to dig into when I have time. I briefly tried Grocy a while back thinking I may be able to use it for inventory mgmt, but it didn’t stick. I want to say I found some other self hosted home inventory project at one point but didn’t stick with that one either. It’s one of those things that I think you have to really invest in to get ROI back, but that’s hard to do, especially when it’s more than just yourself (wife-factor) planning to utilize it that also has to buy-in and commit.
