The land of gallon thing is ridiculous imho.

You mean the pint’s a pound poem? It’s not even right, you know. A pint of water weighs about 1.04 lb.

That thing about the queen and the princes etc. is silly and just gets in the way. Don’t those people have anything better to do?

I wasn’t aware of much defederation from .ml. I came here from .world because .world was defederating from too many other instances. I think what we really need is a new client that connects to multiple instances and does its own tracking of read articles and stuff like that. The Lemmy federation model was well intended, but I would say it has failed. Even at the popular instances, the fediverse is fragmented, which wasn’t supposed to happen.

I would say look for a SIP carrier in Europe rather than someplace that makes you use a special app. Here in the US, twilio.com, voip.ms, and I think jmp.chat are popular. IDK about Europe or whether any of those operate there. I know you can get .au inbound numbers from Twilio but placing calls from there might be harder. What about getting an outbound VOIP service and phone number that’s actually in Oz? You’d then be connecting with a SIP client from Europe which could result in janky audio, but it’s something to try.

Wait, FOURTEEN? I thought you were going to say 19 or something like that. Either way just be honest, you’re taken, there’s too much age difference, and (apparently) she’s not your type. She should meet up with someone her own age.

Sometimes some pasta sauce if I have some. I had a bag of tomato powder a while back and used that, but it wasn’t so great. A 6 oz can of tomato paste works pretty well except it feels stupid to open the little tiny can and spoon the paste out.

Corn and beans, 3 ingredients. 1 cup dried beans (around 50 cents), 1 can of TJ cut corn (89 cents), 1.5 cups water. Pressure cook the beans and water for 30 minutes. Release pressure or wait for it to drop by itself depending on how impatient you are. Stir in the corn.

Before you stirred in the corn, the just-cooked beans were boiling hot, but since the corn was at room temperature, the whole mix now is nice and warm but not scalding, so you can eat it right away. Nourishing (natural protein combination), low sodium, vegan, tasty, cheap, hard to beat.

This is called a WLCSP package and the size is dictated mostly by the number of pins. There have been some for ages with 16 pins (4x4 grid), but this one is half the size at 2x4 pins, so cool. You need pretty advanced PCB fab to use them. But yes, if you go on youtube or do a web search, you can find examples of people hand soldering this type of package.

This part has 16k of flash and 1k of ram, so comparable to the lower end TI MSP430 processors, and maybe midrange by 8-bit MCU standards. It might be comparable to the ATmega parts on the earlier Arduino boards. The later (ATMega328) Arduinos have 32K flash and 2.5K ram, which is still in the same general class.

Thanks. What’s wrong with the old domain, hexbear.net ?

Tree fiddy.

Doing something like this “for real” on any scale takes a ton of anti-spam and anti-fraud effort. Look at how big a pain it has become to post on Craigslist, which doesn’t even do commerce directly.

On a small scale it’s less of a big deal. If you want an actual sales and payments platform like Etsy, it would have to be done by an organization of comparable scope, even if offloading payments to Stripe or whatever. Lots of seller vetting, dispute resolution, etc. I don’t think it’s impossible but it’s not just a matter of software. It would need paid staff dealing with hassles all day, imho.

Flohmarkt is German for “flea market” so I’d expect something along those lines.

That is a good post and I hadn’t heard of the T2S+ before. But it costs $300+ and is around 50K pixels (256x192). I see that an 160x120 FLIR Lepton module is $184 these days (Digikey). So this new stuff is competitive but not revolutionary imho. It’s good that the FLIR monopoly is finally broken though. All that existed earlier other than FLIR was very low res devices.

If you look at the petapixel article, they complain about the speed (10mb/sec not 100) and have serious doubts about the reliability. Using this for backup or for security cameras sounds like a bad idea. It could still be good for some things like carrying your movie library on your phone, while still having a stable copy at home.

This seems to be different and is geared towards directly looking after other humans. Hactivism as I’m used to the term, can often be technocratic.

I mostly notice it in the feed, not sure about other places. I’ve just give back to jerboa from Voyager now that I have a new enough phone to use jerboa again.

Yes, remove the thumbnail and expand the text into that space. Sorry for the confusion.

The options I see there are card, small card, and list. All of these show the thumbnail. This is in 0.0.65 currently on f-droid. Is that not expected?

Did you just discover this? It’s a Microsoft site after all.
