This is a heck of a long shot but does anyone recognize this movie I "remember" from my childhood? "Remember" in this case means one line from a trailer after another film. It was definitely a thriller from the late 80's or early-mid 90's, I'm pretty sure there were some names of note involved and it was about a new energy source. I remember a science communicator giving a speech with a glass of water that could, quote "power the city of Chicago for weeks". Edit: Found already

can a native english speaker explain what the exact difference between rant and vent is? cuz they seem the same to me xD

I own a Decathlon watch. I think the model is Geonate OnMove 200 and I bought it in the 2014.

This watch has GPS client and you should update it using a Decathlon application to speed up the bind with satellite (FastFix).

It still works, the problem is that the software for updating it seems not more supported.

Does anyone know of an open project that allow to update this watch ?

We've been using k9-mail on android with or self hosted email (mailcow) for a while, but the issues sending emails ("software caused connection abort") are too frequent.

Question: I am preparing to change from Windows to Linux. Just one problem to solve: my Adobe Lightroom edits.

I can live without the software, but what's the best way to “export” my edits? I have 60,000 photos in my Lightroom Classic library. Around 6,000 of these have at least one edit. Need to export those (in simple and reliable bulk if possible). Haven’t checked file format, file size and duration. But perhaps someone has some pro-tips fo me?

#askFedi Hello, je cherche une solution (à priori payante, sinon je suis le produit) de gestion de comptes bancaires, qui permette la synchronisation des comptes (comme Linxo ou Bankin) mais aussi me permet d’importer mon historique des derrières années histoire d’avoir un suivi complet.

Je ne crois pas que les deux solutions ci-dessus permettent l’import.

Vous avez des idées ?

Side question, waht virtualisation tool is the preferable one for FreeBSDers ?

Notice I'm not talking about jails or containers. I'm talking virtual machines. I'm running NIxos and FreeBSD will be virtualised on it. I normally would go for VirtualBox but if there's a tool that's common use across FreeBSDers I can kill two birds with one stone by learning that one instead.

(points extra if it can virtualise MacOS)

EDIT: I repeat, I'm running NixOS

I'm a thunderbird user on Linux, but I'm looking for some lighter alternatives. I'm focused on:

- Multi accounts support.
- Background execution with a widget in the taskbar.
- GTK preferred.

Often thurderbird uses too much resources in my opinion.

Any suggestions ?

Any suggestions for sourcing quality USB flash drives?

I keep running into flash drives that report — say — 32GB to the system but, in fact, have a capacity that is in fact far less. I'm also wary of malware from the factory issues. Thanks!

#AskFedi Is there a self-hosted service to sync messages over IMAP? I'd like to consolidate everything in one mailbox, but my provider does not support importing #EMail.

#AskFedi #FollowFriday

If you know one off the top of your head, please tell me your favorite fediverse account that has less than 500 followers.

(Yes, I love George Takei and Robert Reich but they are celebrities and already have enough followers)

Even better if you can tell me your favorite account that has less than 100 followers.

Absolute best if they are real people and not automated/bots.

I'm looking for some interesting webring on topics like programming or self-hosting.

Any suggestions ?

I still miss the #SierraOnline #GameServer from the 90s.

I used to think about implementing additional games, particularly domino games ("Moon" and "42").

I didn't want to make machine player agents, so I was really thinking of servers for online play.

I know there are MMORPG games and Minecraft, but I'm thinking of simpler, more social games. Presumably this would be in-browser.

And it seems like this could exist on the #Fediverse

Is that a thing already? And if not, what do you think about the difficulty of implementing something in that class? Presumably, you'd want a plugin API system so you could add games to the server instance.

Hey Fedi!

I need to copy some TBs of data (incl. large files) from an NTFS drive to SOME_FILE_SYSTEM and then that SOME_FILE_SYSTEM to Ext4. (*)

Is there a value for SOME_FILE_SYSTEM that is better than the other choices?

(*) Copying directly is not an option. The drives are all in the same computer.

My monitor's speakers suck ass, and I don't mean that in a nice way.

So I'm trying to find a way to either use my actual monitors (a pair of M-Audio) on a very crowded desk, or a tiny soundbar or a couple speakers I can clamp to my screen.

One way out would be a screen riser where I can also place my laptops but I need it to have those tiny holes for ventilation and, of course, Google and descendants are COMPLETELY useless in this search.

Ideas? Even a specific search string!

Am finally seriously looking at building my Faircamp site. But before I even start I have a basic question. Am I safe to install it on my home server without breaking what is already running so very well?

Ubuntu Server 22.04 (headless)
Nginx 1.18 (only, no Apache)
WordPress (running multi sites)
Nextcloud

I own the domain name orchard music.com and that is the master site of the three I host with WordPress. Everything is SSL https by Certbot.

@Erpel add some hash tags to your toot for more visibility -> #Fairphone #Fairphone6 #AskFedi

I read commentary about 'quote posting' and being 'an ancient' wonder if my understanding of what that means is correct.

Would that mean a function to (one click) boost a toot with one's own added tenpence worth about the original's content?

I won't feel confident about adding any of my own perspective without actually knowing what I'm talking about... A very outdated concept I know!! 😂

Dis-moi tu saurais où on peut récupérer proprement le logiciel LaCie Network Assistant qui permet de connecter ses disques durs ethernet ?
Il semble que ça tourne sous linux mais déjà au moins la version Windows serait bien...

LaCie a été racheté par Seagate mais le site de Seagate ne semble pas le fournir.

On trouve LaCieNA sur Softpedia et d'autres mais comment on vérifie que c'est pas vérolé ?

So in my script Here I use templates

I made my own very basic template system with just a few .replace for variables.

It's nice, it work fine. But I can easily see situation where some kind of if statement or loop would be useful.

But I don't think re-inventing the wheel and creating my own programming language is a good idea.

So is there some nice easy to use template system for Javascript?

I have found something called "mustache". Is it any good?

I ordered some icepacks online, I didn't realise they were empty. The instructions say to fill them with water and freeze them, and I'm wondering whether something else might be better, like alcohol or so. I looked online and the resource I found said 2:1 water to rubbing alcohol mixture, they also said gel although they were less specific about what gel

As it dont blindly trust what's written on the internet all the time, I thought it best to put the question out there

Do you know?

Dear #LazyWeb #AskFedi: is there a secret I-am-not-in-California option to "#docker compose build" to not time out if a build step involving software downloads takes too long (like >5min)? All the waterfowl-wending I have done indicates that this is a widely struck issue often but not always caused by broken DNS, but that at the bottom of the rabbit hole there is a hardcoded limit.

The error I am getting is "context deadline exceeeded" which occurs while my container build is (slowly) fetching a compiler tarball from a CPU vendor.

Edit: If I run the container build on a cloud VM it works, if I run it in my office over the National Bullock-drawn-packet Network, not so much.
