Scrath,

If I decide to eat at a McDonald’s (which is a very rare occurrence) I refuse to do so without their stupid 2 for 1 coupons which are the only way to get a reasonable enough price.

Scrath,

Whenever this question comes up I see myanonamouse recommended as a private tracker.

I just wanted to throw in that there is also a tracker called abtorrents which hosts audiobooks and ebooks, though I believe most or all of them are english.

I cannot speak as to the selection between those two unfortunately.

What file format do you store your media in?

Hello! I recently listened to a podcast that talked about how storing media files in .av1 format is very efficient and storage-friendly. I’ve been storing my files in .mkv format, but now I’m considering using Handbrake or a similar service to convert all my video files to .av1 if it’s more compressed than .mkv. So;...

Scrath,

Not all devices can play av1. You will still shoot pictures and videos in 264 or 265. Can you already edit av1? Do you do that? Check that everything you own and do can work with av1. You should prefer 265 over 264 nowadays.

The default windows 10 installation for example can’t even handle h265 -.-

Scrath,

Zum Lieferverkehr: Ich finde es für kleinere Dinge super wenn die zu einer Packstation geliefert werden und dann zu Fuß oder mit dem Fahrrad abgeholt werden. Das spart Zeit für den Fahrer und Kradtstoff weil er nicht für jedes Paket irgendwohin fahren muss und beim ausliefern den Motor laufen lässt.

Scrath,

Maybe I missed a paragraph but did you try a new temperature sensor?

That would seem like a logical error source for me when the reported temperature does not match the actual result. Or maybe there is an issue with the thermistor calibration? Is the thermistor type set correctly in your klipper config file?

Scrath,

Honestly I kind of like that building for its uniqueness. I would love to see it in some form of solarpunk style where it is mostly overgrown with plants

Scrath,

This is what I use for youtube on my android tv. Works mostly great although I recently had some stuttering during playnack that I have yet to find the cause of

Scrath,

Goddammit why did you have to show me that kobo now sells a color e-reader? I just bought the Clara 2E last year. Is that one rebranded now to the Clara BW or is that a new model?

Anyway, how is the color display? I looked into color ereaders a year or so ago and the general consensus was that the tech wasn’t really ready

Scrath,

Thanks, that’s interesting to know. Personally I never had an issue with the 16GB but I mainly read epubs so space isn’t that much of a concern for me. I can see why that would be different on a color model which would also be used for comic books.

If you don’t like kobo, which brand do you prefer? My previous reader was a tolino, which nowadays is almost the same hardware as a kobo but android based instead of linux. Personally I much prefer the kobo over that one.

Scrath,

Oh yes, the organization is inconvenient if you sideload stuff. The tolino I had automatically grouped books in the same folder into a collection.

I managed to get something similar working with the autoshelf mod on the kobo but it is inconvenient that it is not a default feature. On the upside, I can also use the autoshelf mod to parse series information based on the books filename.

On the topic of modding, I believe kobos use an sd card internally for storage which you can technically change for a much larger one but that requires opening the device, cloning the existing card and expanding the filesystsm. Not to mention that the water resistance will most likely suffer from that process

Scrath,

Here is the link to the forum post of the autoshelf mod. It says its for the Aura but I have it working on the Clara 2E and I believe someone reported it also working on the Libra or whatever the 7 inch model was called.

It’s a simple to install but unfortunately a bit fiddly in my opinion. When you plug the reader in via usb, a symbol appears on the device screen that you can tap to run autoshelf upon usb disconnect. Unfortunately it only works on books that have already been added to the device, so you have to plug your reader in twice. Once to transfer the books and a second time to run autoshelf on the added books.

I also use NickelMenu in which I added a button to run autoshelf without having the USB plugged in. My script works by pretending the USB was plugged in, thereby showing me the usb screen and allowing me to tap the autoshelf symbol and then waiting for around 10-15 seconds before “unplugging” the USB again which causes the autoshelf to execute.

Scrath,

That’s the fun thing about the Kobo being linux based. Once you get shell access the flood gates are open. I transfer my books over SFTP instead of plugging in USB everytime and then execute the book scan from NickelMenu.

Scrath,

Huh, I wasn’t awars of that onedrive client.

Personally I use OnedriveGUI which is a frontend for the CLI based abraunegg client.

Your recommendation might be more mature since this one doesn’t support the file on demand stuff as far as I know

Scrath, (edited )

Oh definitely.

I still hate my old phone for locking ADB behind a Mi account registration and when I wanted to go into the theme settings some stupid marketplace app opened from which I could quit by hitting the back button to het to the actual android theme settings

Scrath,

I thought about doing that but if I remember correctly they wanted some information during account creation that I was not willing to share (it was probably my phone number).

Doesn’t matter anymore. My new phone is a pixel 7 on which I immediately installed GrapheneOS

Scrath,

I’m guessing this is a US thing? At least I’ve never heard of it before as a european and I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t be allowed to be sold as honey here

Scrath,

My proxmox server is named Atlas. It hosts a Truenas VM called truenas, a ubuntu server lts vm called Poseidon for docker container hosting a homeassistant VM called homeassistant and a second VM for docker containers called Neptune where I want to gradually move and reorganize my services as required.

I also have a raspberry pi as a general testserver called eileithya and a Synology Nas named Hestia

Scrath,

Maybe OP wanted to imply him jerking off after that comment instead of cocking a gun?

Possible to make career in free software?

I’m a computer engineering undergrad in my finals and I really don’t care about applying for jobs, there’s so much competition and I hate just about every one of my classmates. I don’t want to spend hours making shitty bloated proprietary software but 99% of jobs seem to be like that. Is it possible to actually make a...

Scrath,

That looks great. I wasn’t even aware this existed

"Wir dürfen in Europa nicht dasselbe erleben, was bei den Solarpaneelen passiert ist": EU-Kommissionspräsidentin warnt vor Billigimporten und Datenschutzproblemen chinesischer Autos German

Die Amerikaner schotteten ihren Markt jetzt ab, ebenso Brasilien, Mexiko und die Türkei. “Die EU kann nicht der einzige Markt sein, der für chinesische Überproduktion offenbleibt”, sagte von der Leyen. “Wir dürfen in Europa nicht dasselbe erleben, was bei den Solarpaneelen passiert ist: dass durch staatlich...

Scrath,

War die von der Leyen nicht bei irgendwelchen Überwachungsgesetzen ganz vorne mit dabei? Wäre dann ja irgendwie ironisch wenn sie jetzt für Datenschutz argumentiert bloß weil die Spionage durch ein anderes Land vorgenommen wird.

Ich finde jetzt leider nichts bestimmtes mehr zu ihr außer den versuchten Netzsperren. Gut möglich, dass ich da einige Namen verwechsel

Scrath,

How regularly do you use both of those devices?

I was eyeing the steam deck for its portability but I rarely would have reason to use it so I held off. Same for the switch.

When I’m at home I play on my desktop. When I’m not at home I’m mostly actively moving about or only waiting small periods of time which are not worth it to start gaming. The only reason I would have to really use them would be during vacations.

Scrath,

Just open your smartphone keyboard and keep pressing the recommended word in the middle.
