@ncrav @cazabon i did exactly this with an old 1950s record player recently 🙂 But it almost worked... the arm did not come down straight onto the record. about 100 moving parts!! One spring left over... hmm. No good manuals / diagrams I could find. I had one blurry picture that I could just see the edge of a spring I forgot to put back on. It worked! Be brave. Take stuff apart and learn. Take pictures! Happy tinkerer for 50 years...

@ben ooh, nice. I have a similar issue with afternoon sun as my panels face south east. I might well be using plugin units to help with this when they are legal. I wonder if I can add these as I have already got 4kW peak installed? Does this not break G98 regs?

@ben agreed, very likely a low limit. will be interesting to see how this interplays with fixed installs 👍

@GoingDownWithSundial@mastodon.social thank you! You are an inspiration! My teenage daughter is also a very fussy eater; the bit about taking control is so like her (and a bit like me!) I will ask her to help me more often in the kitchen 😊

@momo@social.linux.pizza brilliant! This is perhaps the only justification for installing an LLM on my system 🙂 to show how inefficient it is! Will be setting this up myself now...

@reallylazybear@mastodon.social @jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net similar for me; some apps are unavoidable, but at least I can have some control over them via Tracker Control: https://trackercontrol.org/

@dzwiedziu @dec23k thanks 🙂

@dgar @thefathippy same here! I still pick up the odd record in charity shops now and then. New releases I tend to buy the CD now and rip it immediately into my library.

@theolodian @wishy oops. That's a shame. Hopefully they can sell it on and maintain service! I was lucky with Ripple not to be involved with project #4. Only #3, Derril Water, which seems to remain a going concern...

@davidgerard@circumstances.run oh dear, the price of these street drugs just got real. First hit is always free, right? 🚬 Time for the rehab. I feel sorry for the addicts...

@johnquiggin@aus.social if only it were so simple. Propaganda is being shoved into every media output stream; even if banning the overt inclusion of it as 'adverts' were possible it would still be there as product placements and celebrity influencers opinions. I suggest there is probably more nuance required in to how to tackle such things... 🤷‍♂️

@Extelec 🤦‍♂️ there is all sorts of wierd perspective going on too. different gears have different 'drop shadow' depth, or not... AI slop, surely? did no-one even spend 5 minutes checking this rubbish? sad.

@ludicity@mastodon.sprawl.club @iris_meredith@mastodon.social hehe that was fun 🙂 I appear to be Sorcerer/Paladin (11 for both)

@emsenn@kolektiva.social sometimes, yes. They at least started debate on the issues locally... but this was in the 1990s well before the Internet or social media/smartphones were a thing here in the UK for the general public. Campaign groups continue to exist and operate similarly today; I worry that their impact is limited/filtered more today as you suggested. I just wanted to throw in the suggestion of using other channels, not controlled by mega corps... Good luck!

@emsenn@kolektiva.social perhaps use other channels of communications to raise the issue first? Protest actions, physical leafleting and fly posting, using these kind of 'guerrila' tactics to raise awareness? Local media might take notice, publish and feed this into the mega corps filters, thus getting it into people's consciousness for you? Essentially use the algorithmic hate machine to work for you? (I used to run a Greenpeace local support/activist group when I was much younger, before social media!!)

@realcainmosni@mastodon.me.uk ..and that's just for the fuel 🤣

@cmdrmoto @benh @lcamtuf wow, I had not re-read that for years! This highlight is the killer insight for me: 'It’s harder to read code than to write it.' So much lost and relearned (or not☹️) for this simple reason!

@sjvn@mastodon.social @theregister@geeknews.chat and so it begins... x4 price hikes! Finally the economics start to reflect the terrible ecological price to pay for BS generators. I can only hope there is justice for those whose life's work has been stolen, and suitable financial penalties begin to reflect this loss to humanity too. (Economics is a shit tool to direct human behaviour, but it is the only tool Capitalists understand... *sigh*)

@PragmaticAndy@mastodon.social wow. The non-profit I support uses godaddy for domain hosting. Thanks so much for the heads up, I will be transferring ASAP! Also good to get off US hosting... sigh.

@Philsturgeon done, good luck!

@Kimberley@ecoevo.social ah ok thanks!

@Kimberley@ecoevo.social ooh nice 🙂 I am about to dig a pond here.. curious what you tried before the liner? Clay?

@dec23k interesting. From the paper I understand the 750Hz tone is around 3dB less attenuated, but only in quiet areas with already not much noise, like parks. In noisy areas, any tone that is distinct from the noise is more easily heard. But everything is attenuated and the warning distance is considerably lower already. I wonder if these ANC headphone makers are obliged to support 'emergency' vehicle tone detection and not blank it out? Does anyone know? Or there is the air horn solution🤪

@dusepo@toot.dusepo.co.uk my late father-in-law was a builder and used to hide little tokens inside the construction work he made. coins in the cement and so on. One to confuse the future archeologists!

@philipmolloy@mastodon.social #FediHire

@Wifiwits @vulgalour @excess 🤣 So true! My bro and I had a mk II and the entire boot floor fell out one day. Not kidding! most of the drivers side was plastic filler 🤪 @phlash

@lproven @guardeddon wow that triggered a memory! slurping news on cix.... on dialup. Nice.

@RossA@mastodon.me.uk might want to check out signage displays? something like this... https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Business-QE50T-Commercial-LH50QETELGCXGO/dp/B08DQ89R9G but they tend to be more expensive than TVs that sell you stuff... i just disable the connection on mine 🤷‍♂️

@ChocChipSec@infosec.exchange I have had several like this in the last week. The links I got were OAuth logins to Microsoft.com, which redirect to the target site after. Quite clever... and possibly a weakness in M$ OAuth policy to accept these redirections?

@ryan da-dit da-daa d-d-d-d-da-dit da-dah. Enjoy your ear worm 😉

@hegel@swiss.social @courtcan@mastodon.social 😂 Also known as 'BS' your way out! Good luck my friend...

@gfaster@tilde.zone @soller@floss.social thanks I had not come across this response webpage 🤣

@izder456 GUI tools for productivity software, including chat/email/calendar/contacts on one desktop. Browser on its own desktop, usually reference material or research going on there; also music streaming. Third desktop is multiple terminal windows for servers I manage, and likely one for localhost too. All TUI/CLI there and where I spend most of the time. This includes code editors; vim only, no language tools! I want to not rely on these things and keep my skills sharp 🙂

@stux@mstdn.social uBlock in the browser, dns blocker (Steven Blacks blocklists) in my homelab, dns4EU upstream resolver using one of their filtered services.

@xkcd@mastodon.com.br Spike Milligan was right. The best thing to do for road safety is fit a 6 inch nail in the middle of every steering wheel!

@NanoRaptor@bitbang.social i am here for this 😁 Also sizes above A0 seem to have a different notation, at least here: https://www.papersizes.org/a-paper-size-areas.htm Thus Oz is 43A0. you're welcome 🤪

@FrazzledBrynn@glitterkitten.co.uk whoa! whats with this?? I voted before looking at the result, and expected an even distribution... it is very much not!

@dctrud@mastodon.me.uk hehe, yeah that amused us when we visited too 🙂

@Larvitz thanks, good to know there is BSD support already 👍

@jetton@mastodon.online oooh, I wish mine still worked! I have a box of accessories for it...

@lokjo@mapstodon.space good luck! Also I have a whole screen saying you have exceeded your quota on jawg.io. oops.

@jneen@unstable.systems fantastic piece, thank you! puts into very readable words some deep concerns I found difficult to express. 👏👏👏

@skeletor@mas.to yes! all the fucking time! 😁

@NanoRaptor@bitbang.social that was very engaging, thank you!

@r_aherin #getfedihired

@newsthump@mastodon.online gold! Also this.. 🤣🤣🤣 https://newsthump.com/2026/05/05/green-party-announces-plan-to-dump-all-non-recyclable-waste-in-new-reform-constituency-landfills/

@asshauer@hachyderm.io @NanoRaptor@bitbang.social ah yes, not so useful. I stand corrected 😊
