Every car I've owned has had a way to change the speedometer from freedom units to ✨ metric ✨ .

For knowing what speed I should be going, I roughly follow these numbers. (Note, these are not equivalent.)

  • 35mph -> 50km/h
  • 60mph -> 100km/h
  • 70mph ->110km/h

Also, very roughly 10km ≈ 5mi.

However, most of the time I just follow the flow of traffic.

I voluntarily switched to metric like 10 years ago, so meters, celsius, grams, etc make more sense to me now.

This idiom may seem vulgar and offensive at first glance, but it has a deeper meaning that reflects the culture and mentality of the Spanish people.

28 days later...

OK. I've been using Nubo daily for 28 days. So far I'm really liking it.

Although, mostly, I realize that I like Nextcloud.

The main value-add Nubo brings is 1. They host Nextcloud for you. 2. It may be cheaper than hosting yourself.

If you want to host your own Nextcloud, then you can definitely forget about Nubo. If you care about maximum privacy and security, then forget about Nubo.

If you don't want to host your own Nextcloud, or if hosting your own Nextcloud is too expensive, then that's where Nubo shines. €3.5 is a competitive price. And everything just works, WebDAV, CalDAV, CardDAV, notes, todos.

Things I don't like:

  • Nubo is running an old, deprecated version of Nextcloud, 25.0.6.1. The latest version is 31 something.
  • You really have to hunt for good client apps.
  • The service is kinda slow. (Although, I'm in the US, so that's part of the problem.)

Overall, Nubo has made it really easy for me to de-Google. Technically, I still haven't used their email service yet. I'm still with my old provider, but I do think I'll switch over to their email eventually.

Yeah, 145km/h might be a liiitle under powered. I drive between 120km/h to 130km/h on the US interstates.

Great song! That chord progression works great in Hanger 18 too!

Wait, huh?

Users can adjust from their profile settings which language they want to see ... posts are marked as English despite being Egyptian, so these posts get forwarded to English speakers

TIL!

Oooooooh. That's what the language setting is for??? I never touched that setting. I also didn't realize you could select multiple languages! (ctrl+click) Holy shit, thanks!

I just selected English and Spanish as my languages and checked All. It's still mostly just English posts, but it seems like !colombia@lemmy.blahaj.zone is new! Neat!

 

Those commitments and principles are under threat. Synadia, the original donor of the NATS project, has notified CNCF of its intention to “withdraw” the NATS project from the foundation and relicense the code under the Business Source License (BUSL)—a non-open source license that restricts user freedoms and undermines years of open development.

Currently, Actual Budget is not available via Flathub. They do offer a .flatpak file on the releases page, but it would be nicer if they were on Flathub.

Vote to get Actual Budget on Flathub! 🗳

 

Are home alarm systems worth it? I'm talking about something like ADT or Vivint, with window and door sensors, and automated police calls.

Are those monthly subscriptions worth it? Do you guys have them? Does anyone have any stories where having an alarm system made a break-in situation better? Are they just snake oil?

 

I found some thread on the Discord saying that you should

install using abroot should be the Best option

But then nobody posts how to do that...

Have any VanillaOS 2.0 Orchrid users here successfully installed Tailscale?

I'm trying it out for the first time and reading the handbook here: https://docs.vanillaos.org/handbook/en/updates

However, I noticed the page says:

This guide is for Kinetic (22.10), not Orchid.

And when I tried running command to check for updates, I got this.

$ vso update-check
Error: unknown command "update-check" for "vso"
Run 'vso --help' for usage.
  ERROR   unknown command "update-check" for "vso"

I could wait for the normal update job to run, but I'm being impatient. :)

 

Again. From the beginning.

 

The full quote in dirty imperial units:

I live my life a quarter mile at a time. Nothing else matters: not the mortgage, not the store, not my team and all their bullshit. For those ten seconds or less, I’m free.

How was this translated to metric?

 

How often does Organic Maps pull map updates from OpenStreetMap? Can I manually trigger the update or do I have to wait? Does the update happen automatically or do I have to delete the current map data I have and then redownload it?
