Erdnussbutter (feddit.ro)
submitted 9 months ago by may_pretender@feddit.ro to c/germany@feddit.de

Hello, I've been trying for a while to find peanut butter in larger quantities (> 500g). Doesn't seem to be too common sadly. Any advice on this? I'm in Würzburg btw.

Garbage bags (feddit.ro)
submitted 11 months ago by may_pretender@feddit.ro to c/germany@feddit.de

So I've just got here and read on how waste should be collected separately. What is unclear for me, and can't find any relevant info on, is what bags to use for colecting the waste.

For plastic (yellow bins), is there a particular type of garbage bag that I should use so I can throw away the whole bag including contenta, or do I use whatever bag and just dump the contents and then reuse the bag?

There are paper bags sold (for ex. at Lidl). Can I use those for paper waste and throw away the whole bag + content, or do I collect them in whatever way and just dump the contents?

For compost / bio mass, what should I do? There are "compostable" bags. can I use those, or the paper ones and just throw the whole bag, or do I have to dump the contents?

For the black bin, is it ok to throw the whole bag with its contents?

Idk if it matters, but I'm Bayern

There seems to be a general consesnus that feddiverse users don't want anything to do with meta and that instances will defederate with threads. I'm curious if the majority will follow this trend to avoid yet another EEE, or if there will be some exceptions. I bet meta will be open to pay good money to instance admins for "colaboration" if the instance is big enough.

Hi,

I'll be studying in Germany for the next 6 to 7 months and I'm looking to buy a SIM card. From what I read online O2 offers decent services for the price. I am however very surprised that for €10 their plan only offers 6GB of data.

I could use some help with this, so any recomendation and extra information is welcome :)

edit: thank you all for your answers!

there's a guy on youtube who specialises in apple repairs. maybe you could send an email to ask. I also think i saw him doing exactly what you're planning in one of his videos. maybe check it out:

Hardware ideas (feddit.ro)

I'm reposting this here hoping that some of you have some cool ideas to share. My main intention is to make something solar powered, but I'm really open to anything! Inspire me please!

I use bitwarden as my password manager, mainly through a browser extension. It's quite cumbersome to use outside a browser, so I made this.

I welcome any thoughts and feedback.

[-] may_pretender@feddit.ro 3 points 1 year ago

Haha, this unfortunately falls way out of my area of expertise :)

[-] may_pretender@feddit.ro 3 points 1 year ago

Interesting ideas! I'm don't do mobile dev either, but regarding your first point, I think the idea is very cool, but taking that direction would be very difficult. Achieving what you suggest the easy way is through a mobile app. The problem is that the if we're looking at older phones that are not supported anymore, they aren't secure, so we could run into problems there. The second option you suggested, which is a single purpose ROM seems very cool, but it also seems very daunting, as it is hardware specific from my understanding.

I'm not familiar with the animal prosthetic field too much, but could be an idea.

thank you, and please share more ideas if you can :)

Hardware ideas (feddit.ro)

Hi! I'll be participating in a hackathon next month in the hardware division. I was thinking of making something sollarpunk inspired. I'm posting this to ask for inspiration.

What is some of technology (esp. hardware) that you'd like to see implemented? What is a problem that you'd want solved that could have a potential hardware solution?

I know this is very vague, but I'm curious if anyone has some ideas to share :)

Exista vreun motiv bun pentru orice țară din UE sa poată avea veto în chestiuni de genul ăsta? Din perspectiva mea, pur si simplu se blochează progresul zonei noastre și întreaga unitatea a blocului comunitar e afectată că vrea Xulescu. Poate cineva mai cunoscător să explice de ce nu se iau deciziile majore pe baza unui vot majoritar (+75% de ex?)

I'm trying to benefit from the public healthcare in my country. Today I went to an orthopedian with a traumatized hand knuckle (I'm practising martial arts and it's been hit a bit too hard a bit too many times).

They told me to get an xray and to come back with it. So far so good, nothing unexpected. What I found weird (but not unexpected as it's advertised on their website) is that they recommended me oxygen-ozone smth smth therapy. This "therapy" for me would consist in injecting some kind of oxygen/ozone rich substance in the hand to "help with healing", because "where there's trauama there's lack of oxygen".

A bit of research online makes me believe this is just a scam and has no proved medical benefits.

Can anyone with proper medical training provide some thoughts in this regard?

Basically the title.

I'm interested in any opportunity to inprove the way I navigate the internet. What I've been for a few years now is DDG, which works fine. Not great, not amazing, just fine. And that's ok considering how they opperate.

I just heard about kagi and was really cosidering it. Makes sense as a business model (pay so we don't have to sell you data), seems privacy respecting, and claims to strive for best search results in the market. Some test searches from the trial seem promising.

If you've used it for any amount of time, what has your experience been with it? What plan are you using? What are you mostly searching for?

Even you haven't used it, any thoughts / opinions are welcome.

I really like the first one. Gives a very interesting sense o perspective contrast. The dog looks big and the world around quite small. Collage vibes. Very nice!

So, I've been a Neovim user for a few years now. I started as most of you (I assume) with vim, and just kept on using and expanding that config file over the years.

I only recently realized there's quite a split between the Vim and Neovim plugins and that the Neovim community is pushing Lua as a better development platform. From what I can see, some users are switching their configs from Vimscript to Lua. To be honest all I know about Lua is that it means moon in Portuguese...

Should I too? What would the advantages be? What would the disadvantages be? For those who did switch, why did you switch and what was your experience? For those who didn't why did you not?

p.s. review (roast) my dotfiles

edit: thank you all for your input! I will consider slowly switching to lua by modifying only some parts of the config as some of you suggested.

As other poster recommended, you should by all means install Linux and learn by using it as a daily driver.

[-] may_pretender@feddit.ro 8 points 1 year ago

What is your end goal with this? Going for BSc in Computer Science / Engineering would enable you to become a developer / computer scientist.

Photo/video/vector editing seems very out of place in your plan. That's just another domain. If you're passionate about those visual arts, that's great and more power to you, but know they're not relevant for a computer scientist. Src: I've been there.

Regarding everything else you've said, it seems to me that you're learning stuff without a direction and just because you've heard those things (cs50 / linux), are important. I suggest you choose a moderately difficult task (game, app, tool, website, ehatever) that seems interesting for you to create, (install linux) and start working on it, and focus on finishing it. You'll learn a lot on the way and gain a broader understanding of how a project is pieced together. Most importantly, you'll figure out what you don't know, and thus eill have a direction going forward.

And don't get me wrong, you're right, you can gain a lot of valuable knowledge by going through cs50 or learning to use the linux terminal, but it's not really useful unless information, unless you apply it to a project.

Nope. Checked it out now and seems to work very well! Thank you @Heine!

doesn't seem open source but aurora store reports way less tracking compared to the adobe one, so this might be an option. thanks!

I'm actually trying to avoid google, but thanks for the recc!!

I'm looking for a document scanning app. I currently have OpenScan installed, but I feel like the only usable setting is the default one which only takes a picture and allows you to crop it.

I'm looking for something closer in processing to adobe scan to pdf, so the end pdf looks more "scan like".

Is there such an app? What are guys using?

I'm trying to join a community from another server (https://sopuli.xyz) from my server (https://feddit.ro), but the search can't seem to find it. It does, however, find other communities from sopuli, as well as communities from other servers. Why could this be the case?
