Smart sous vide cooker to start charging $2/month for 10-year-old companion app in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] kelvie@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Size and easy to clean (and waterproof) is one, I have a ChefSteps Joule which is app control only, but it is much easier to clean, and much smaller than my old Anova (fits in a drawer with other crap)

Granted it is more annoying to use the app than the controls, but the trade off for us was worth it, if not for everyone.

Hyprland is now fully independent! in c/linux@lemmy.ml

After this news I switched to using KDE with Karousel, an animation plugin, and a rounded corners plugin (kwin scripts).

I also use a command runner plasmoid to somewhat replicate waybar from shell scripts.

Isn't this more of a litmus test of whether or not they have lime cordial in stock?

Well you have to state why it wasn't good. It was incredibly region-dependent, but if you live near one of their endpoints the latency wasn't noticeable and the quality was great, as it was for me.

In the end I got to play a bunch of games for free, and have an extra controller I still use, so there's that. They made us whole, at least, after they shut down (I even imported my into the breach save game into Steam with Google takeout after)

Does anyone use emacs as their main terminal emulator? (lemmy.ca)
 

I've been using konsole (and iterm2 on my work mac) for most of my working career, but on the linux side, I've recently switched to Kitty, but now I'm wondering if I can finally get used to just using emacs on both.

Does anyone use emacs as their main terminal? Is there one better than ansi-term that supports modern features like libsixel?

I still can't quite get used to the keybindings (like C-c twice for ^C) and some other weirdness.

What kind of edits are we talking? Firefox can add signatures and text now in its built-in pdf reader.

PSA: If you are having trouble with your pals leaving their breeding pens (lemmy.ca)

... check that the breeding ranch is fully within your base's blue circle.

The building is massive, and the game lets you have part of it outside, but I ran into a ton of bugs with pals going into a weird state where they can't be assigned after they un-assign themselves to the pen (usually when fast travelling).

(Edit: this is before patch 1.3.0)

Replacement for Dove soap? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I mean going from Unilever to CeraVe which is owned by Nestle might be a sideways move at best.

What's everyone's favourite "oh shit" live ISO? (lemmy.ca)

I've been using gparted live for the most part to repair all sorts of stuff, but I'm wondering if anyone else has any other more modern recommendations, preferably even ones with Wifi or more graphics card support!

I also find installing deb packages to be way slower than they should be on a modern system (what are deb packages doing that alpine apk and arch packages don't??)

Bonus if they boot fast, too.

Best services to self host with a Raspberry Pi 4? (4GB RAM) in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

Note that for Prometheus I think an SSD is practically required. It does not perform well with the eMMC, you'll just get a lot of timeouts.
