@greypilgrim I like your thinking 👍

@ned a $3.50 cup of coffee is now $6, a $2 2L/milk is now $3.30 ... only 30%?

Just wanted to put a shout out in for Cristina over at Saturday Gift - she's put up 42 weekly planner PDFs (all for free) and i'm loving them ❤️

PS I've never met her, I don't know her from a bar of soap and this isn't sponsored in any way... it's literally just me raving about something cool I found. <3

@ilyess seriously ECH sounds awesome and I didn't know someone had actually made it a thing

@ilyess Ha. And here I was dreaming of being able to set up my private task management server with something like ECH using a pre-shared key, and setting the server to not respond to non-decryptable comms or portscans

Last time I set up a (next)cloud server it only lasted a few weeks, so before trying again, I'm trying to figure out how to reduce the amount of random hackers that can even see the server, let alone crash my server

@ChiaChatter I hear you - maintenance overhead made me give up on NextCloud too

Installing OnlyOffice now...

Maybe I should just use Google Sheets.

Ugh.

Do LibreOffice developers not use the products they're developing or something?

I have 500 fields to paste into a spreadsheet (5 fields of info about 100 groups) for a list i'm compiling for someone, and every. single. time. I paste data into a LibreOffice Calc field, it pops up a dialog asking me if i'd like to detect the input language automatically or whether i'd like to manually select one. If i just quit the dialog, it doesn't paste. There's no "remember this" option, nor a way to turn it off.

This bug has been open for literally *10 years* and it's making my life really difficult at the moment... but the developers just argued about it for a few posts but didn't let anyone fix it.

urghhhh.

because i'm tired and @trbutler did it first:

If you see this, you're obligated to list your 10 favorite bands/artists (no order). [Got this over on the Site Formerly Known as Twitter.]

- Shane & Shane
- Colin Buchanan
- Maverick City Music
- Scott Wesley Brown
- Sons of Korah
- CityAlight
- Casting Crowns

....and Blondie.

does anyone know of a smartwatch that supports wireless charging?

I just had to decommission a second fitbit because the charging contacts on the watch were worn out (a few weeks after the warranty expired, conveniently) and i'm a bit over it

@DMakarios maybe. mint is tough, ey

@DMakarios I should add, from memory it takes leaving them on one patch every day for a week for effective de-weeding... then do the adjacent patch to reduce border ingress into the newly acidified fertilised soil

@DMakarios coop the chickens in a puppy play-pen thing right on top of it, they scratch out anything green until it's bare dirt... and they keep doing it. Much easier than digging it out yourself

@ned That's Gold! Thanks for the tip-off

@DMakarios Oooh

#TIL a bit more about what the Luddites actually stood for. Thankyou, Deborah!

@PetabyteStudios That's a shame :(

Can you use Dynamic DNS?

@Big_Diggity @multilingualchurch These are truly, truly terrible! And since you're on the 'dad jokes', happy Fathers' day (it was Fathers Day here on the weekend so I can say that :P )
