Thank you all, I think I will have to look around some more for my Linux Laptop.

And they sell replacement parts for a sensible price. I love that site.

No, sorry. We are playing Age of Rebellion rules during the Old Republic, because the children wanted to be Jedi.

I second with Vampire: The Masquerade, The Dark Eye, Shadowrun and StarWars RPG in my family. Teach your kids to play and they will never have time or money to waste on drugs. ;)

I’d be very interested in a tiny turbine that gives off 500W per hour to cover the basic power consumption of the house when there is no sun shining. But most stuff I see is junk, and the other stuff is way too powerful for what I need.

If you’d look two posts below this one:

The question was posed and therefore answered in German. I do not think any excluding was intended, and translation help like deepl usually is only an URL and a bit of copy/paste away.

Milan himself tries to keep Meta out of his life, but he does not think panicking without solid data is the way to go. He wants to keep an eye on how the situation evolves, and if Meta is practicing non-moderation like on facebook, he will not federate with them for that even before entertaining deeper ethical questions.

I got them made at WASD Keyboards. They have a prepared design file for 104 key ISO (and some more layouts) you can use. My board carries 108 keys, but I don’t mind the programmable keys looking different than the main set.

Quality wise, they look good, and I like the slightly rough feel. “Side print” is Qwerty in my own hand, with acrylic marker, for the kids. Profile is Cherry.

Running a mongo database, an express server in VSCode with nodejs, the Angular app, also in VSCode with nodejs and the browsers proved a bit difficult for my existing (and ooold) refurbed Dell latitude. It might have been the last windoofs update that brought it to bay, too. I don’t know.

Thank you for the wargames, I am going to try my hand.

Thank you all for your suggestions, I will have a look at used thinkpads or tuxedos. Scratches never bothered me.

You are all very helpful!

Reddid was / is a lot more lively, with enough posts in a day that I had to turn off notifications. Lemmy has not as many users around the world, and subocribing to a lot of communities does not equal reddit traffic at all.

I feel this is restful, and it offers the opportunity to learn new stuff. Also, by subscribing to different communities on different instances, you mix it up and make everything link together more tightly.

There might be a future when you have to currail your subscriptions, but just now, you are doing everything right.

Thank you!

Could you please hand me a map to this conversation? I feel lost.

Das Abgreifen von Daten, die über Activity Pub importiert werden, kann immer ein Problem sein. Jenseits von “spiel nach EU-DSGVO oder werd verklagt” fällt mir da nichts Wirksames gegen ein. Wenn man einen Beitrag loslässt, gibt man damit auch die Kontrolle darüber auf. Das hat uns ja schon das Usenet beigebracht.

Im Sinne von Leben und leben lassen würde ich sie einfach mal machen lassen. Das Fediverse ist frei, also muss man auch damit leben, dass die Protokolle frei benutzt werden.

Wichtig wäre aber, darauf zu achten, dass die hoch finanzierten “Professionellen” nicht zu viele Extrabratwürste auf das Protokoll aufflanschen, die andere dazu zwingen mitzuziehen oder zu sterben.

Bei Mail hat es ja gut funktioniert.

My attention span is shot, too, but I mostly blame my stressed-out lifestyle. If I try to read a book, I fall asleep on the first two pages and can’t remember a word I read before I nodded off. But the few times aactually succeeded in sitting down with a book, I was absolutely surprised how relaxing it was reading from paper and not from a screen. There is a peace in paper I don’t find on a phone.
