Good work!

I can’t speak for others but I go through phases of enjoying the sound of different accents. I’m currently loving Indian.

I’ve seen this being recommended for audio production but was put off disabling it because I didn’t understand what it was. I’d like the performance gain though.

Has anyone else here disabled it?

That sounds like a great way of doing it :) I’ve seen some lovely stretches of canal. Do you ever make it over East Anglia?

That’s great you’re on the water. I know a few people who have lived on the canals and I have a lot of respect for it. I’m on bit of a mission to sail the seas - wish me luck!

Where did the Linux socks thing come from? I see it around and am curious about the lore.

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 👍
