Sorry, I did not. As you say, it seems very hard to get into. I found someone that had made a custom 3D printed tool to open the top panel. I don't have a 3D printer so it became too big of a project.
Alltså, du tar nog det lite för bokstavligt. Att de ska belöna dig är säljsnack. Om du inte hade varit kund sedan tidigare så är det ett välkomsterbjudande.
Sedan har det ju varit standard de senaste 30 åren eller så att man köper ett abonnemang med ny telefon rabatterat eller på köpet mot bindningstid på ett-två år. Jag vet inte hur du kunnat missa det.
Speaking of thought experiments, I just [lost the game](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Game_(mind_game\)). Thanks, OP.
I don't think many tourists would head out to the far away suburbs by subway. My recommendation is to avoid Drottninggatan and "City" with the exception of some architecture or particular places of interest because it is just really too much busy people and pickpockets and hot asphalt and concrete and glass and tourist traps and chain stores.
"Do no harm to the stockholders" would be the contemporary take.
Indeed. While you were learning how to reverse the car I was studying how to reverse the time.
Same here. I grew up in a big city, moved around to different big cities, always been on foot, biking or communal traffic. Never felt the need for a car. I'm in the upper middle ages now so I doubt it's going to change.
My friends Commodore VIC-20 was my first interaction on some sort of OS level, though it was of course the integrated BASIC environment that we were fiddling about in.
Then my very own Commodore C128, mostly in C64 mode. I was curious of CP/M and GEOS but has neither disk drive or an 80 character monitor. Still, the C128 mode gave plenty of opportunity to learn computer graphics and sound in BASIC that was too tedious for me with POKE and PEEK or assembler on the C64.
I cut my proper OS teeth on a Commodore Amiga. Made my own boot and utility disks and learned through experimentation the ins and outs of how it worked. I also ran a BBS on MSDOS that I'd already been exposed to at friends and school.
Eventually I transitioned to Windows 95 etc because that's where the software and hardware was. I used some unix-like systems remotely by then over modem and dial up interwebs.
I did some attempts at running Linux in the mid nineties but by then my mind was really elsewhere. Linux back then was some proper fiddlefuck that required time, energy, dedication, the whole spectrum of emotions and the occasional sacrifice to the dark lords. I used and administered Linux servers by 2000, but didn't bother beyond the necessities. Realized some time in the early 2010s that Linux had actually gotten useful beyond servers that rekindled some interest. Now I have several Linux boxes for various purposes and I'm pretty certain that once it's sunset time for Windows 10, I'll be running Linux as my next laptops and desktops as well.
(PS. Not interested in having an argumentation on Linux everywhere today. Don't be that guy. Thanks.)
Hello, this is Steven from HR. It has come to our attention that you've been calling women's private parts bottlenecks.
The beginning of the end of Earth-week? I guess it's time to ride the cosmic waves to eternity then.
Ditching Spotify - but for what other service
Update; I went with Tidal. I'm a bit disappointed that no competitor has functionality like Spotify Connect without licensed hardware. I got Tidal running under Mopidy on my media box but I have to use a web browser and the Mopidy front end that works so so instead of the mobile app or desktop client. I don't feel like shelling out for another third party service or change my amp when I've got a decent setup for everything else. I already miss the ability to seamlessly go from mobile to speakers to a computer in a different room. Weird because it really doesn't sound very complicated to me when every Tidal client is already online and disconnects when playback starts on another device.

I'm getting fed up with Spotify because all the usual reasons and now the CEO calling music "content" with "nearly no production costs". Fuck that, time to vote with my wallet after being a user after an early beta invite.
What I want is a service that
-
pays music creators decently,
-
that has a comparable catalogue outside the charts
-
and that works well with a good UI on Windows, Linux, Android
-
and either headless on a RPi or has a integration with Kodi with high bitrates or even lossless.
Searching for comparisons drowns me in click baits and auto-generated content. I'd appreciate some real world experiences.
Edit; Thank you kindly for advice on self hosting etc. I am well aware of that option, a hardy sailor from the olden days as I am. Nowadays though I can and want to pay for the hassle free immediate availability music catalogue as a streaming service that in turn pays the artists for their delicious sounds in my ear holes.
I haven't looked at the Lemmy API, but generally speaking hard or not is subjective. Try it, get your hands dirty. Take a stab at testing how it works. Set some very basic targets. Split it up into tasks. If one task proves more complicated than expected, split it up into smaller tasks. If you get stuck, move to another task. You can always get back to those later. Things fall in place with experience.
They were great back in the day when trackpads were shite and the option was a tiny trackball on your laptop.
Today I bottled my Chardonnay
I started it in early march with the idea that I wanted a dry but fresh and somewhat complex wine for summer. I infused some oak chips with rum, but only had them in for a week something early on with the hope that the harshness would dissipate with gases and what is left behind becomes subtly integrated in the wine. I was going for notes and slight tannins as opposed to the super dry that was my autumn wine.
While fermenting it was about 19-21°C in the room with a cold draft by the floor that probably made it more like 16-18°C down there. I didn't think of picking a yeast ahead so I went with the generic one that came in the box.
It's been a very interesting ride in this relatively short period of time. The fermentation was very slow, as expected by the temperature and draft. It stopped bubbling but had plenty of sugar left in it so I racked it to oxygenate, added yeast nutrients and kept swirling it gently daily until I got it going again.
Last taste was a month ago and it was not good, hoping it would mature after bottling and otherwise make it a learning experience. Today, much to my surprise, it is young but damn delicious already. Great taste, great mouthfeel. Tannins but not overly so, hints of vanilla, oak and rum. Easy to drink and yet some interesting flavours to explore. It's all I was hoping for.
But now I have a new problem. While bottling it, I accidentally overfilled some bottles that I balanced into a glass, and then clumsy me spilled the last splash from the vessel into the glass too.
Now I'm sitting outside on a lovely warm and sunny Sunday afternoon, glass in hand, the wine is oxidized and can not be returned to the batch. I'm not sure what to do about it. Please advice.
Originally communication on the web was one directional, server to client. Web 2.0 meant active web and bidirectional communication. Hence, web 3.0 is a threesome.
I got me a Zigbee usb stick for home-assistant and have three different makers of window sensors (Sonoff, Ikea, and Tuya OEM from AliExpress) because of no particular reason. Everything is local, no cloud services. The integration of all has been smooth sailing.
These are pretty much the thoughts I had.
Leave the flying spaghetti monster out of this.
It was a bad idea to get out of the oceans if you ask me.
Maybe the great filter is crabs dragging others down to their level.
Refractometers
I ordered a cheap chinese optical refractometer from Amazon to use for convenience instead of a traditional hydrometer. It seemed accurate enough after calibration, I don't expect magic or lab results. Ballpark is fine by me.
I got suspicious when my cider and wine have kept stopping at 1.020-1.025 and nothing I whatever I tried would only make them bubble for another few days and reduce a couple of degrees Oe. So I did a reading with my hydrometer to verify. Yep, the SG for the cider ~1.000 and with the wine in negatives.
Checking out the refractometer it says it is for beer.
Is there a difference for wine and beer refractometers? Is is this refractometer, cheap chinese ones in general or is it me?
Cheers
Edit: twas me
I'd rather be an unknown fish in my own pond
Apropos "it's better to be a big fish in a small pond than a small fish in a big pond"
If I had an artisinal shop of any kind in America, I'd have an emergency button under the counter that lights up an enormous neon sign behind me that says "NO!"
I've seen enough of the internets to know this is a must have. Damn, if I was in America this would be a business idea in itself.
Edit: If you nick this idea and make it your business - YOU'RE WELCOME! I only ask kindly of you send a yearly donation to Doctors Without Borders or some similar organisation.
Dreamy
I was having a bad stressful dream like I often do. But then I realized I was just dreaming and that I don't want to dream this shite. So then I dreamed something else.
That was nice.
<p>Ethanol clouds</p>
"Chief technician Ronny Human. Why is it vital that we reroute to fill spare tanks from this gas cloud? We are not in need of it as fuel nor solvents?"
"Captain Zzhfnntx Rrzhfn. Trust me on this. It's the purest ethanol you can find next to the Absolut Space Port".
Yeast strains for wine and cider
How much difference does different yeast strains really make? Is it perceptible like what kind of apples you used or is it delicate nuances when doing a blind tasting?
Förslag att lägga tecknet för grader (°) till standard för svenskt tangentbord
Tecknet för grader (°). Det finns ju inte. Man får antingen slå in ALT+teckenkod på numeriskt tangentbord eller söka på tecknet och kattenpejsta om man sitter på laptop. Det är ju ändå ett tecken som används i det svenska språket varje gång man talar om temperatur eller vinklar.
Mitt förslag är RALT + apostrof/asterisk ('*), alltså tangenten till vänster om enter. Annars är RALT + 6 eller RALT + paragraf (§) också outnyttjade.
Nu har jag fixat till det för egen del i Windows med AutoHotkey (>!'::°), men det vore faktiskt användbart om det blev standardiserat.
Är detta möjligt att föreslå någonstans och det faktiskt skulle kunna bli av?
Forgot fruit wine with citrus zest in it for over a month
BUMPSIES: Update and discussion on bitters/aperitif in comments
This particular little wine was supposed to have the fruits in it for ten days. I forgot all about it over Christmas stress so the fruit has been soaking for over a month. I racked it today and boy does it have an aftertaste of the zest. Do you think it can be recovered? Will the zesty bitterness reduce from aging? Or can I do something else about it?
Crazy Idea: Degassing wine using vibration plate
While manually degassing my current 23l bucket of wine, my mind drifted off into dream land of how to save my arms and back in future times. I came to think of those vibration plates for supposed exercise benefit.
Googling it seems people have considered them for making beer but in order to stimulate the yeast or something something carbonation magic - quite the opposite of my idea.
Whaddya think? Could it work for degassing buckets of wine?
