Well, that's a sad revelation. Thanks for letting me know that. Now I'm really rooting for them, more so than before. Seriously. No sarcasm at all.

What about jet audio? Is it FOSS? I can't find anything about that. I used it after Winamp started disappointing with it's media support.

Thank you for purchasing all these donated goods that we paid nothing to buy. Your purchase makes our job programme possible.
Do you want to round up to the nearest dollar on your purchase of donated goods, in order to donate to our job programme that you've already donated to?
... um... ... No?...
Edit: jokes aside, goodwill does do good for the community. I'm sure they've raised their prices in line with other price hikes, but I don't think that negates the good they still do. $35 US for a used coat they received as a free donation, IMO, is a bit excessive, but I can't blame them for trying to squeeze more out of their stock, since they do turn around and pour most of that back into the community.

That is true. That has been, and (for some dumb reason) continues to be, a real problem.

RISC-V is where ARM was a few years ago. It'll be a ship shaker, too, if it keeps developing at this rate. But, for now at least, we have ARM and clunky old (solid) x86 as the major players.

This means we must band together and wholeheartedly support the architecture. Clearly, it is a ship shaker, and industries don't like ship shakers (even if it would result is a better industry or is better for the consumer, maybe especially if it was better for the consumer).
ARM is shaking the ship, so we must shake it too.

Personally, I would use a simple spreadsheet for this.
But if you have your heart set on a db, you can use Access or LibreOffice Base for ease of initial setup.
Maybe SQL (or PRQL, if you're feeling cutting edge) with some dbms (SSMS Community I think is still free, or maybe Heidi SQL) but this will require you maintain a server as well. PostgreSQL is what I generally use if I want to spin up something quickly. I do like SQL quite a bit, but it seems overkill for this task.
Edit: autocorrect

Honestly, I don't know. I put in the handle, logged in, and was presented with the error. The only other time I saw this error is when I tried joining a community my instance wasn't federated with. Possibly related here, too, but I'm not sure.

I added it as an edit to the original. It didn't work. “Could not fetch” was the error. That's fine. I am using the rss anyway : )

So it works with Lemmy handles? Sweet! I'm trying now.

If this goes [against] a rule, please accept my apology and feel free to remove the post (or let me know, and I'll remove it). Here are a couple Moomin Valley mugs I received as gifts a couple years ago. I can't describe the deep calm, reverence, these mugs, and this show in general, invoke.
## Conclusion: Thank you, everyone, for your expertise, experience, recommendations, suggestions, and patience!! I have decided to go with the Platinum Preppy in Blue Black with fine nib. I didn't want to jump too far into it with an expensive (to me) one without any experience. So far, granted it's the first day, I love it. A lot. I'm going to give it a few days to see how it feels as a daily driver, but if the few bits I wrote are an indication, it won't be an issue. Again, thank you all SO MUCH for your help! Here's a (poor quality, sorry, it's night) picture of my new favorite pen:  ## Original Post I didn't see anything on the sidebar where this is not allowed. BUT, if it isn't, please accept my sincerest apologies, and feel free to remove the post (or let me know, and I'll remove it). ### A little backstory: Ever since a quill that I happened to use (without permission, might I add) at a friend's grandfather's house oh so many moons ago, my fascination with pens began. Up until then, all I've used were pencils, markers, crayons, and a couple cheap ballpoint pens. Over the many years, I have gone from pen to pen, never really finding "that pen feel" I've craved since that single-digit age. Now, I understand that quills write very differently to ballpoints, and even differently to many nibs. However, price has always been an object for me, regrettably, limiting my choices, forcing me to stay on the 'budget' side of things. The closest I've found to that feel was a 0.8mm Micron felt-tipped pen. However, it wasn't close enough for me to stay with it, so the search continues. (The feel: smooth, light, almost effortless glide on the page, while still feeling the tactility of the page with each stroke. The resulting line is smooth, but crisp.) Recently (past couple years), I've been thinking more and more about that quill, and started searching for it again, to no avail. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if his grandfather had it custom made. I would ask the friend or grandfather, but the grandfather has long passed, and the friend has disappeared shortly after uni (he always talked about going full hermit... I guess he did). Yesterday, as I was aimlessly scrolling Lemmy, after, what seemed like the billionth time searching for that quill, I came across this community, filled with people searching for their illusive perfect pen; my people. ### The ask As before, price is an object (again, regrettably). Are there recommendations for budget fountain pens or quills with a few must-haves? ##### Would-Really-Like-To-Have ~~Must-Haves~~ 1) non-scratchy nib 2) 0.5-0.7mm line is preferred, but no more than 0.8mm 3) it can use ink cartridges, but it needs to also handle other inks from bottles (pumps or wells, I think it's called) 4) budget, so within the 5-10€ range (I know this might be the biggest ask here) ### The original quill that started it all The shaft looked like a thick feather, with the feathery bits removed. I don't think it was an actual feather, though, as it was much thicker than any I've ever felt. The shaft held the ink, which was added by unscrewing the nib and pouring the ink in (or, as he did it, using a pipette), then screwing the nib back on. The nib was ornate; etched gold on the outside, smooth silver on the inside, split down the middle, with a small hole halfway down the split. A preemptive thank you to everyone, for reading and considering this post. Edit: added the last section about the original quill Edit: change to really like to have, since it seems I was being too wishy with them being a 'must' : )
Has NewPipe v0.27.0 stopped working for anyone else? It won't play anymore. It loads the video page and comments, but throws an error when attempting to play or download the video. I've submitted an error report, but was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this. Edit: thank you, everyone! I figured it was google being a giant turd again, but want sure, since it worked perfectly fine for me yesterday, and I didn't see anything pop up on Lemmy yet. I understand the logistical and costing nightmare of this, but we really need a FOSS decentralized video sharing platform to take hold and take off. Let google and other bigturdtech die where they made their beds. Update: newpipe 0.27.1 was just released, which fixes this deliberately google-caused issue. As I understand, some other frontends implemented their own fixes, too. These teams are amazing!
 There are no arrows, no obvious pins, no pin latches. This band is different than all of the ones I've ever sized. Does anyone know how to remove links from this band? Edit: user Septimaeus was correct in that it was a fixed link band. The link they provided helped in understanding what is requires to resize, and the band now fits my wrist like it was made for it. Thanks!!
I'm bummed about the lack of update activity on this channel. I'm super happy with the os, though. Who is the mod? Maybe s/he can add a bot to repost from reddit?
Do InvisibleFence brand controller units work with non-InvisibleFence brand collars? I have an InvisibleFence brand controller unit, and would like to get a collar for it. The InvisibleFence brand stuff requires their techs come out to your house and do whatever it is that they do (at a significantly higher cost). If the controller unit works (tested and verified), will other brand collars work with it? Edit: Some of the other brands do work with the InvisibleFence brand underground system, as long as the collar is also designed for the same type of system (the collar should be called something like 'receiver collar'). The issue I'm running into, though, is that I don't like the shock collars, in general. While not as restrictive or cruel as an 8m tether, according to the vets I've spoken to, I still find it needlessly cruel. So, I'm working with the landlord to allow me to install an above ground fence with a dig protection system. It's going to be very expensive, but I'm hoping I can just increase the monthly payments some to make up for it. I've signed a long-term agreement anyway, so I'm here for a while.
Are there any automatic or semiautomatic tools that will rip a set of DVDs from a tv show, and label the resulting vids (like *Show name - s##e##* or similar)? I want to digitize entire series (of DVDs I own) for an in-home streaming server, and it's super annoying to name each file individually.
Happy International Coffee Day, everyone!
Happy International Coffee Day, everyone!
The impulsivity is bad, wasted so much money and time. The hyperfocus, when on the wrong task, has cost me hours in that day. The poor planning / time management has landed me in a world of hurt more times than I care to admit. The low tolerance for distractions / hot temper has caused me to hurt those whom I love most in this world. The inability to properly direct my focus on a task has caused me to lose sight of, and therefore miss, deadlines. That's all bad. But the worst part for me? The part that doctors don't seem to even attempt to address (except for direct symptom management, which barely work)? Emotional mirroring. If you're depressed and I'm with you, guess what happens to me? Today sucked. Depression is an unrelenting bitch, and I hate her with every fiber of my being.
Yesterday, I was reading this post on an open source solution to detecting and deleting CSAM material on Lemmy. I was reading the post, then my browser crashed mid-read. I've been looking for it ever since, and can't find it. Can anyone link it?
Black tea is strong, as are fruity notes (blackberry, maybe?). The acidity of the kiwi is there somewhat, but mostly, I taste its sweetness. I'm not sure I taste the lemongrass at all, but that's not saying much, as it could just be masked by the other notes. Overall, this is a very nice roast.
Half asleep, I added coffee to the espresso grinder. Never has it been more clear, that grind size matters.
I was watching friends, and this scene came on. Instantly made me think of GNU plus Linux.

My OG content for your viewing pleasure
I have these wire shelves that are held together with these plastic caps. I'm reconfiguring the layout and ran out of caps. It's been a decade+/- since we got these, and I can't remember the name. Does anyone know where I can get more of these caps? Or, at least, what these caps and/or shelves are called, so I can go hunting for them?
