I’m so used to everything we do being another stride into a dystopian hellscape that it took me a moment to realise that this wasn’t (in any immediately obvious way) the government helping the fuel industry. This treaty is absolute nonsense, and should never have been ratified in the first place, so this is actually good news, unless they’ve somehow thought of something worse to replace it with

And according to this comic, that’s somehow my mum’s fault

 

I take on or start too many projects, and often get to a place where they’re so intertwined and tangled that I just stall.

Is there a simple free project organisation app that would help me last the chunks of what I need to do out, and see which ones are holding up parts of other projects? It might make me feel less like I’m slowly being buried alive buy my own choices

Can you recommend a distro for being a media server? I too have been complacent about my media habits, and the time has come to sort it out.

 

Is there a decent lightweight pic viewer for Mac? Preferably open source. I have quite a lot of photos, and using finder/preview to show people my images is pretty clunky, and using darktable isn’t really ideal either. I’m just after something that allows for a quick and simple skimming through folders, and a nice clean display of the chosen image.

Right, this is driving me up the wall. I’d really, really like a bag similar in layout to the Domke F2, but scaled to fit a GX9 and set of m43 lenses, if that makes sense.

All the shoulder bags I can find are either lacking in pockets and lens dividers, or are deep for FF lenses like my Thinktank bag, so everything gets lost in the depths.

Surely this can’t be such a big ask? Is there anything between little bags that hold a half a camera and one lens, and these deep messenger bags that would hold a whole studio’s worth of nonsense. Can I not have a Domke Fm4/3?

Is there such a thing as a list of the Cosmere books by series? Everything I’ve found so far either lists them book by book, with pictures and other bumf, or is just a chronological B list with all the non-Cosmere books jumbled in.

Essentially, I like to compile a bullet-pointed list in my notes app for my favourite authors and for a universe as complex as this, I’d like to have all the Mistborn listed under one subheading, Stormlight under another, etc, etc. I’m a bit anal about these things, and I like to be able to check them off and know I’ve got them all.

I’m sure it’s out there somewhere, just itching for me to come along and copy and paste it! Thanks in advance

I’ll definitely be using bifacial panels, for applications where size is a limiting factor they’re really effective. If it wasn’t in such a visible place, I’d back them with fluorescent paint too, that apparently ups their efficiency again.

Edit: bifacial panels. Biracial panels are something else entirely. Thanks Autocucumber

The Bierpinsel in Berlin has been painted in a few different ways, and looked great in all of them. Do an image search for it, you’ll see what I mean

 

We’ve recently got a decent fibre gigabit connection, so after a lot of reading I bought a gl.i ax1800 Flint router to run Mullvad on, rather than having it on every device individually. The setup was simple, and while I know that it will impact speed to an extent, it seems to be really limiting the connection. Like to about 13mbps, which is slower than my almost non-existent 4g connection. From what I’ve read, I should expect the flint to be capable of giving me about 4/5ths of my connection speed, so on ours I’d been expecting something in the mid-hundreds, as I’m seeing 800mbps or so just on the cat 7 from the modem. It’s almost certainly my fault, or something I’ve overlooked in the setup, so any help or pointers would be much appreciated.

Microplastic a found in FUCKING CLOUDS!! That nonsense is absolutely everywhere, and will be there forever. And wherever you go, it’s going to follow you. Rubbish

To be honest, I’m taking it as a sign of it developing genuine artificial intelligence. It examined its situation and surroundings, and made the only logical choice

 

I’m starting to design a quite large solar pergola, to be built in the southern uk. Has anyone got any advice on the different methods of adding waterproofing between panels? And/or any general tips or experiences in constructing the pergola?
