Coin op skate sharpening sounds perfect for Canada.

I wonder if I could bring that to Finland…?

My imposter syndrome kicked in full swing. I was ready to learn a CSS best practice and feel uncomfortable about it for the rest off the day.

I don’t get it, isn’t this a pretty normal way of using media queries. Granted you’re more likely to see the widths defined in px.

I have been wondering why my maintainer doesn’t remind people to donate more often. I set up a small recurring donation, so I don’t have to remember, but I think it’d be okay to regularly remind people.

Also look into donating to your instance maintainer. They literally pay for the server costs, so it’s fair.

Finnish: accurate

No one on the platform side is incentivized (or capable) of controlling things, which is nice.

I mean, I am fine with my hobby website being taken down if it starts to consume an unreasonable amount of bandwidth.

They don’t need to give a free tier and I am not entitled to getting anything out of them. Since they have decided to offer one, I do expect to be consulted before sending a bill worth a ferrari.

I just checked I have no payment method on file. Should protect me.

The company behind Home Assistant also maintains ESPHome, so I’m sure hardware hacking conversations are welcome.

You can’t just post something like this and not provide any context!

I was thinking about dipping a toothpick in super glue and touching the stem after spraying some activator on the stem, but your style sounds better.

Yea this is a better idea than what I outlined below, unless you are seeking to learn how to do this sort of thing from scratch.

Good way to learn, but not a great idea if you want to get it working fast…

Perhaps it would be better to continously monitor the situation and send an email with start / stop time in one go.

Still, shouldn’t be hard: Script that runs in a loop, that checks internet connectivity by connecting to a reliable source, eg. some major cloud provider’s service If the service call times out, catch the error and record the time and enter a 2nd loop, which tries to send a message with the start time of the error and the time the loop ran.

Remember to put some sleep in the loops so that they run every few minutes or so.

I would also suggest something like a telegram or slack message. Modern email servers can be cantankerous about random scripts sending email.

You can build this with basically anything: Node red, python, ruby, shell scripts or home assistant would be my choices.

You might want to also set up some kind of monitoring in case the script goes down, many ways to do this, simplest one being a shell script which restarts a nested script or something like monit or systemd.

Well, it is for sure an S-Video cable. There was a 7 pin variant too, but it doesn’t look like the one pictured. The other end has a 4 pin S video and composite video cables.

As you say, it is for some kind of specific product, perhaps a video capture card?

This looks pretty close? https://www.av-connection.com/?PGr=2575

Edit: looks like it might be a 9 pin s video to 4 pin s video + composite adapter.

Bank first, then SD is good for both max play time and battery health, as the charging of the SD battery results in both energy loss as heat and minute degradation of the battery.

Many wrong answers here. Most devices have what’s called a power path. When a device is powered via a cable and the battery is full, the device battery is bypassed and the electronics powered via the charging port directly.

There are always losses in both charging and discharging a battery. Discharging the power bank first and the SD battery second avoids the charging loss from the SD battery.

You should avoid keeping either battery at sub 20% state-of-charge for long periods, if possible.

That is what they are saying which is pretty disingenuous. The entire point of the law is to target multinationals which cannot be reined in by national legislation.

Boo hoo, the poor tiny Amazon doesn’t want to take responsibility.

I think you’re on to something.

I studied in a university which also had a famous art department. I tried taking courses on the art programme’s aide, but they didn’t take me - all courses required the 10 month basic arts studies to participate.

I think some mingling would benefit both the artists and the techies. Steve Jobs famously studied calligraphy, and later made apple the mainstay of digital art, so it can be profitable too.

Sync was very, very customizable. It was my primary reddit app, in the old days.

What was it that you find most important that’s missing from Jerboa?
