@nprofile…atnr Findmydevice from fdroid is a great google-free alternative BTW, might be worth setting up even though you are actually signed in
Thanks for the post :)

Thanks goodness for Alert from Eurostar that my train to Paris will be severely delayed. I can't really start my day without my morning Alert from Eurostar that my train to Paris will be severely delayed

@nprofile…s5s2 Hey!!! So pleased to hear you enjoyed a post of mine, it means a lot to know that people actual read my content. That Reshiram is very cool btw.
Bit of an older one you linked there, but lot's of the stuff there still applies. I think I've gotten over a lot of those hurdles though, in some way or another :)
Also, forgot to say thanks for including me in your junited :). Just check out the page again, an it looks like I have a lot more blogs to read!

@nprofile…hqk5 Great job with that felt tbh! Welp, wish my luck. The body of my jumper would be okay longer, the sleeves not so much
Also, love that jumper; the colour looks great and the pattern is classy

@nprofile…hqk5 I just finished my 2nd jumper (ends weaved in an hour ago) and my next job is to wash it.....
I may have not done a test swatch. It's non-superwash wool though, so that usually stays fairly similar (hopes)
Anyways, it's a good think that elastic exists 🙃

A very interesting post of yours. I disagree somewhat, but that's okay.
My comments are hosted statically on my own website, no account needed and is submitted with a standard html form. No trust in another provider
I like it that people have the option to leave open ended feedback or encouragements. There is room between a thumbs up and a whole email, in my eyes anyway. Hasn't been abused yet. Your critique about will the thing I've written be preserved is very valid though

I'm spreading the word far and wide... There's a #pathfinder humble bundle out!!! The core rulebooks for under $5 it's an absolute no brainer
If you pay a bit more, some really useful resources and society modules to run
Next tier is a whole AP- a city based one no less
(Final tier is just a physical book)

The experience of #opensource in 2026...
*Finds cool project*
Ooh! This app looks really cool and it's open source. I could actually use that! I wonder how it's made...

Oh, it's Slop...

I have a question for #nixOS peoples... What is the point of flakes?
People online mention things like reproducibility and not having to have channels. You can do that in a normal #nix config:
```
stablepkgs = import ( fetchTarball "channel:nixos-25.11" ) { config = config.nixpkgs.config; overlays = config.nixpkgs.overlays; };
```
^ above example without specifying commit (I'm lazy), but you can also link an exact commit tarball from GH

I really need some help. I managed to #softlock my #Lenovo #Ideapad #Laptop, please help me!! 🙏
Details:
Ideapad 15 15ALC05
Tried enabling debug/advanced BIOS: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Lenovo_IdeaPad_5_Pro_14ACN6#Hidden_BIOS_menus
It didn't work, just a black screen. Now turning it back on normally, it won't post. Esc, power and NumLock solid on + fans spin up slowly.
I have tried: holding power, leaving it to sit with CMOS (?) + battery unplugged, NOVA button (gives double beep when held)
Please Boost 🔄

@npub1m9p…4fja Just saying... #8 is hard: Normally they are already included with the kernel so if they aren't, and therefore need to be installed, then its up to the vendor and whatever inconsistent systems they are using

I just made an insane vegan curry. Chickpeas+GreenBeans+Sultanas+Cashews goes so hard!!
Also... Having a bunch of premade roux on hand (in the freezer) is actually such a timesaver

Does anyone have any recommendations on German speaking folks to follow? (#FediFollows #AskFedi)

@npub198t…hasj OnePlus 6 with anything Halium based* works well (since that uses android Kernel + subsystem for drivers)
*E.g. Ubuntu touch, droidian
If you want mainline kernel + reimplemented drivers see https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Devices
For more devices that can run halium based distros... See https://devices.droidian.org/#/devices
