I think Cherrytree is my most important app. It’s primarily for making hierarchical lists but you can hyperlink between nodes and to external files and URLs and you can insert files, images and tables. I pretty much use it for organising my entire life and archiving important files, links and documents. The database is a single file (which you can have encrypted), so it’s super portable and you can sync it between devices. You can easily theme it yourself too (the default theme/icons looks quite old school).

I also love GIMP 3.0

It’s great isn’t it. The panels are getting denser as well which must be great for sailors. What sort of boat do you have?

It’s funny to think now what a big deal they made about this in the media when it was announced. I guess it just didn’t stick with people because hardly any of us can empathise with them.

Only joking. We’re offgrid anyway, so unless they can figure out a tiny, cheap and quiet one I can buy off the shelf some time soon I will be solar for a while to come!

Panels have become ridiculously cheap per kwh. I was looking for some more recently and they had halved in price in the space of a few years while everything else has almost doubled.

I’d love to see more innovation in mechanical storage.

Man, just when I’d bought all those solar panels.

Sounds like either a) the dehumidifier is broken or confused b) your apartment has more moisture in it than you thought or c) the moisture is being replenished from somewhere.

I stayed in a friends house a few months ago and she had 4 dehumidifiers running since she bought it. The house was built before damp proofing was a thing and set into a hill, so the place is basically one massive wick for groundwater. It will never be over for her.

I agree. More parents should take it seriously.

It certainly is!

That debt will be bigger the longer it is left before nationalising it. The situation shouldn’t have been left to fester for so long.

I’m afraid I can’t offer any recommendations but I just wanted to say how beautiful it is to think of you keeping track of each others heartbeats while you’re apart. That’s love

If the government is not selling us out then what do they have to hide?

It’s no wonder we don’t trust politicians when it’s clear they don’t trust us.

Anyone want to start a silicone mask business with me and go on Dragon’s Den?

I was just borrowing it when I made the rip and was also using a borrowed drive to read it, so I’d rather try and fix the files I currently have. I tried ripping it more than once when I had it, so I just settled for what I got - only getting around to fixing it now!

I copied it using a borrowed external optical drive.

I’m not sure how to tell if I have all the data but the size of the directory contents is around 3.5 gigabytes which seems appropriate for length of video (1h45m).

Will try your suggestion in mpv 👍

I couldn’t agree more 👍

That’s good to know.

All of my own drives are encrypted except for a USB stick that I use for transferring files to a windows machine.

Would ‘overwrite with zeroes’ in gnome Disks work?

This could do with a bit more detail. Either it has none or it’s not being reported.

There is a big difference between the police showing up when a woman loses her baby at eight months after neighbours heard a fight and the police showing up at 8 weeks when a family is deep in grief after a miscarriage.

They got elected for NOT being Tories. Why are they being Tories? Idiots.

It’s like Labour are going out of their way to fail 🤦‍♀️
