Hello, I've been trying for a while to find peanut butter in larger quantities (> 500g). Doesn't seem to be too common sadly. Any advice on this? I'm in Würzburg btw.

 

So I've just got here and read on how waste should be collected separately. What is unclear for me, and can't find any relevant info on, is what bags to use for colecting the waste.

For plastic (yellow bins), is there a particular type of garbage bag that I should use so I can throw away the whole bag including contenta, or do I use whatever bag and just dump the contents and then reuse the bag?

There are paper bags sold (for ex. at Lidl). Can I use those for paper waste and throw away the whole bag + content, or do I collect them in whatever way and just dump the contents?

For compost / bio mass, what should I do? There are "compostable" bags. can I use those, or the paper ones and just throw the whole bag, or do I have to dump the contents?

For the black bin, is it ok to throw the whole bag with its contents?

Idk if it matters, but I'm Bayern

There seems to be a general consesnus that feddiverse users don't want anything to do with meta and that instances will defederate with threads. I'm curious if the majority will follow this trend to avoid yet another EEE, or if there will be some exceptions. I bet meta will be open to pay good money to instance admins for "colaboration" if the instance is big enough.

Hi,

I'll be studying in Germany for the next 6 to 7 months and I'm looking to buy a SIM card. From what I read online O2 offers decent services for the price. I am however very surprised that for €10 their plan only offers 6GB of data.

I could use some help with this, so any recomendation and extra information is welcome :)

edit: thank you all for your answers!

Beautiful pic and wow, this must have been an exerience to be remembered. Would you mind sharing a bit more?

[–] may_pretender@feddit.ro 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's hard for me to say because I haven't lived in another country other than my own for any amount of time. It's funny though how all the answers are countries in the west :)) Send some love to the balkans please.

not too bad

[–] may_pretender@feddit.ro 3 points 1 year ago

I'm very much the same. Also because I use it for porridge quite a bit, and it feels pretty wrong to eat oats with... oats.

there's a guy on youtube who specialises in apple repairs. maybe you could send an email to ask. I also think i saw him doing exactly what you're planning in one of his videos. maybe check it out:

I'm reposting this here hoping that some of you have some cool ideas to share. My main intention is to make something solar powered, but I'm really open to anything! Inspire me please!

 

edit: here is the link so it's more easily accessible

 

I use bitwarden as my password manager, mainly through a browser extension. It's quite cumbersome to use outside a browser, so I made this.

I welcome any thoughts and feedback.

Haha, this unfortunately falls way out of my area of expertise :)

[–] may_pretender@feddit.ro 1 points 1 year ago

I like this a lot! Can you share resources on this topic? I'd like to understand the context / problem a bit better.

Could a multisensor be useful? For example to also measure temperature, wind, light, etc? Aren't there any such sensors available on the market?

[–] may_pretender@feddit.ro 1 points 1 year ago

this sounds cool, and not too complicated to implement :)

[–] may_pretender@feddit.ro 1 points 1 year ago

To give some ideas as well, maybe there could be some addons powered from the electric longboard, but I can't really see how they could be useful. The main problem I see is that you'd need a wire coming from the longboard to the user / addon. this seems dangerous.

Maybe you can have the longboard battery be detachable, or have a smaller detachable batterry different from the main one that you could use for other tasks? (both being chardged either externally or through regenerative braking)

But tbh, I think such a project would overcomplicate and miss the point of the longboard.

Interesting ideas! I'm don't do mobile dev either, but regarding your first point, I think the idea is very cool, but taking that direction would be very difficult. Achieving what you suggest the easy way is through a mobile app. The problem is that the if we're looking at older phones that are not supported anymore, they aren't secure, so we could run into problems there. The second option you suggested, which is a single purpose ROM seems very cool, but it also seems very daunting, as it is hardware specific from my understanding.

I'm not familiar with the animal prosthetic field too much, but could be an idea.

thank you, and please share more ideas if you can :)

 

Hi! I'll be participating in a hackathon next month in the hardware division. I was thinking of making something sollarpunk inspired. I'm posting this to ask for inspiration.

What is some of technology (esp. hardware) that you'd like to see implemented? What is a problem that you'd want solved that could have a potential hardware solution?

I know this is very vague, but I'm curious if anyone has some ideas to share :)

 

I'm trying to benefit from the public healthcare in my country. Today I went to an orthopedian with a traumatized hand knuckle (I'm practising martial arts and it's been hit a bit too hard a bit too many times).

They told me to get an xray and to come back with it. So far so good, nothing unexpected. What I found weird (but not unexpected as it's advertised on their website) is that they recommended me oxygen-ozone smth smth therapy. This "therapy" for me would consist in injecting some kind of oxygen/ozone rich substance in the hand to "help with healing", because "where there's trauama there's lack of oxygen".

A bit of research online makes me believe this is just a scam and has no proved medical benefits.

Can anyone with proper medical training provide some thoughts in this regard?

 

Basically the title.

I'm interested in any opportunity to inprove the way I navigate the internet. What I've been for a few years now is DDG, which works fine. Not great, not amazing, just fine. And that's ok considering how they opperate.

I just heard about kagi and was really cosidering it. Makes sense as a business model (pay so we don't have to sell you data), seems privacy respecting, and claims to strive for best search results in the market. Some test searches from the trial seem promising.

If you've used it for any amount of time, what has your experience been with it? What plan are you using? What are you mostly searching for?

Even you haven't used it, any thoughts / opinions are welcome.

 

So, I've been a Neovim user for a few years now. I started as most of you (I assume) with vim, and just kept on using and expanding that config file over the years.

I only recently realized there's quite a split between the Vim and Neovim plugins and that the Neovim community is pushing Lua as a better development platform. From what I can see, some users are switching their configs from Vimscript to Lua. To be honest all I know about Lua is that it means moon in Portuguese...

Should I too? What would the advantages be? What would the disadvantages be? For those who did switch, why did you switch and what was your experience? For those who didn't why did you not?

p.s. review (roast) my dotfiles

edit: thank you all for your input! I will consider slowly switching to lua by modifying only some parts of the config as some of you suggested.

 

I'm looking for a document scanning app. I currently have OpenScan installed, but I feel like the only usable setting is the default one which only takes a picture and allows you to crop it.

I'm looking for something closer in processing to adobe scan to pdf, so the end pdf looks more "scan like".

Is there such an app? What are guys using?

 

I'm trying to join a community from another server (https://sopuli.xyz) from my server (https://feddit.ro), but the search can't seem to find it. It does, however, find other communities from sopuli, as well as communities from other servers. Why could this be the case?
