Thanks, sounds like a good idea. I’ll definately try that.

I’ll bear it in mind, thanks. Is this something that you’ve done?

Some great food for thought - and some ideas that I hadn’t considered before - esp. about the mood I’m trying to convey.

Your comments about taking lots of photos makes good sense - with a few batteries and a couple of sd cards, I could take hundreds of photos - and maybe if I see one that I like, I can return to explore more of the same.

Many thanks for the great tips.

Absolutely correct. I was referring to videos/films that I’m watching that are hosted by plex. Apologies if I didn’t make that clear. The videos that it hosts for me do not have adverts.

Thanks for the very detailed advice. Definately some interesting things to follow up on. I got the plex pass when I bought the shield but never got it to connect remotely, but due to them putting ads in their films, I’m now thinking to switch to something else.

Great, I’ll repost, thanks. What’s a mesh network btw?

Emby sounds interesting, thanks.

Thanks. I couldn’t get plex to run from ‘off site’, it was probably something that I wasn’t doing properly.

I’m not sure if it was the vpn or not, but it never connected even though I set the tunnelling like it said.

Leather strop for sharpening

I’m genuinely curious here - really? As someone who always has to mess with the old fashioned ‘steel’ (mind your hands cus there’s no guard on it!) sharpener, are they better? Honestly, heard of them, never used but interested.

Funny, but I see soo many kids walking to school with their worldly belongings in their back packs! Worse is they’re hanging soo low - at least get a hip strap. Life lessons I guess. In my day we had lockers in the school.

Why is it a pain? I’ve used it for some time and it just does the job.

Good luck, it’s kind of feature-rich so if you have any questions, feel free to ask. The dev is quite responsive (on Github) which is good.

If you’re not getting a full text feed for articles try changing your feed app (assuming android). I’m using handy News reader (flymm fork on F-droid). It retrives the full article text for all my feeds.

Pretty sure that’s a skill too - probably confuses attackers who try to pre-empt your movements.

On the 2nd para - IRCHighway, you mentioned a link to set it up. I don’t see one - maybe me but can you either: send the link so I see it or dm if you have time? It sounds like something I’d like to follow up on.

Can you repost it when you finish it? Should look good.

Wasn’t being critical of the horizon - you might have been on a hill.

I like the moody look you caught - looks like a storm brewing. My only observation is the horizon line doesn’t look straight - was that your intention?

I had the same feeling last week on seeing soo many cross posts from reddit.

As the original thread is taking place elsewhere, there seems no point in posting any comments into the lemmy version of it, or for that matter even seeing it.

I thought we were leaving reddit behind - not dragging it with us.

Alternatively, if this is an attempt to archive all the good stuff, shouldn’t the bot bring the comments too?
