*A formerly chill laid back community up until someone posted it on Lemmy 😀
I was comparing frozen diced veggies a couple of years back (in Australia) and noticed that the store-brand version was approximately 1/3 broccoli stems by volume, which certainly explained the cost difference.
You're putting yourself in a tough position by asking for both E2EE and the ability to use from a browser. You have to trust the web app each time you open the page, and hope that they haven't altered the deal to simply grab your data after it's been decrypted by your password. I have no idea how likely it is that Standard Notes would do that but I'd reconsider the browser requirement specifically if E2EE is non-negotiable for you - an offline open source client program would be a much stronger position.
For my money, I use local text files and SyncThing but it's probably not spiffy enough for many people/purposes.
No idea if it's relevant in this case but at least once I had to clear both browser cache and the cookies/site data to get Lemmy rendering right after an update.
Oh damn. This brings back memories I didn't know I had. Awesome.
A few years back I bought a Yamaha CDC-685 second-hand which has a 5 disc changer and optical output. I try to get away from screens/phones for a while every day so I do most of my listening on the real CDs. Having five stacked up means I can make some selections, set it up once, and have my music for the evening.
It sits on top of a Yamaha receiver that's ~20 years newer - thanks to the consistent style they still look great together!
I also bought a Discman recently but I haven't had many opportunities to use it out and about.
Well we have upvotes but no links, so here we go: https://lemmy.sdf.org/c/planetsmolnet (@visiblink@lemmy.sdf.org I liked your idea of focusing it around "smolnet")
I wonder if I will regret being a mod on a community where "on-topic" isn't defined. Hopefully it won't be a problem!
Each gopher is allocated five invitations a year to the gopherspace - first you had better be on good terms with your locals
Back when you had a litany of statuses to explain that, actually no, you're not available to read a message.
I suspect parent was talking about the number of subscribers to the Rust community on each server (currently 174 on P.D, 591 on lemmyrs). Which server people choose as the "home base" for their account so to speak is an interesting reflection of that server's maturity/impact but not the major driver of community activity.
Fantastic haul, well done.
I agree, as a practical matter it's another heavyweight tech system that we can't opt out of. Striving to keep client requirements low so that we can get maximum use out of older hardware is great.
The latter. The web relies on a continuous path of connectivity between the client and the server to function at all. In practice it also requires cooperation on a global scale to make this useful to everybody, whether that's DNS, CAs for TLS, BGP, undersea fibre optic cables or the big services that "everybody" relies on like AWS and GitHub.
When somebody says a word like permanetworking, to me that's an invitation to think small. If you want to create something local, networking offers a lot more possibilities for action than, say, semiconductor manufacturing. Bluetooth chat, neighbourhood WiFi with local servers, long distance email via sneakernet, distributing useful data packages like maps, books and encyclopedic data so that they're stored close to the people who need them. There's so much we can do without climate-controlled datacenters.
