UK fusion reactor dream gets another £2.5 billion from gov't in c/unitedkingdom@feddit.uk
[–] Churbleyimyam@lemm.ee 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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!

What is your most useful Linux app which others might not know about (please don't just give the name but a link and why it is good for you) ? in c/linux@programming.dev
[–] Churbleyimyam@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago

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?

Private schools lose High Court challenge over VAT changes in c/uk_politics@feddit.uk
[–] Churbleyimyam@lemm.ee 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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.

France Escalates War on Sports Piracy with Real-Time IP Blocking * TorrentFreak in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Pretty ironic considering they don't play any sports of their own.

Linux Users Switching Back to Linux in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world

I have my Linux laptop open at work next to their windows machine and the difference when I switch between them is ridiculous.

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.

In order to have a stable society, must we prioritize identity first, then loyalty, and only then morality focused on protecting and preserving our in-group? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Yeah, I think you mis-read my comment and that we agree :)

Man, just when I'd bought all those solar panels.

Did anyone's parents have sex around them? (lemm.ee)
 

Did your parents have sex around you as a child?

And if so, what (if any) effect has it had on you?

Is it weird/confusing/traumatic for children, or does it provide a healthier and more realistic model of sexuality than pornography and school-based sex education?

PDF to epub when PDF has 2 columns (lemm.ee)
 

I've just converted a PDF to epub in calibre but because the PDF has two columns of text on each page the ouput epub is essentially 'combing' all the lines ton the PDF's page together, making the epub very hard to read.

How do I make Calibre feed one column at a time from each page into the conversion?

Hope that makes sense and thanks!

What are the pros and cons of btrfs? (lemm.ee)
 

I recently started using Fedora with btrfs, which I think was the default on install. So far all I've noticed is that backups and restores are really fast and easy.

Are there any important things to be aware of, like speed, drive lifespan or energy efficiency?

Abandoned lynx, roaming wild boar, ‘beaver bombing’ – has rewilding got out of hand? (www.theguardian.com)
 

As well as talking about guerilla animal releases, this article talks about lots of amazing community rewilding action. I highly recommend it for an uplifting read!

Recommend some relaxing jazz? (lemm.ee)
 

Can anyone recommend me some super mellow relaxing jazz?

I've been listening to Space For Two by Oakwood Station and would like more of the same kind of thing before I do it to death!

Thanks :) ✌️

Off-grid hosting (lemm.ee)
 

Is there a good solution for an entirely off-grid server?

Is it possible to use a smartphone hotspot/USB tethering for internet connection?

I have some solar panels & batteries and an old laptop (or I might get a raspberry pi) and am curious about whether I could selfhost literally in the middle of nowhere, without a residential internet connection?

Used Camera Prices (lemm.ee)

Is it just me or have used camera prices gone up?

I just had a look on ebay at a camera I own and the price has doubled since I bought one used a couple of years ago and in some cases is actually more than what it was sold for when it was new in 2011...

Frequency Separation plugin updated for GIMP 3.0 (www.chuckhenrich.com)
 

The developer of the Frequency Separation plugin Chuck Henrich has updated it for GIMP 3.0

It's simple and slick and works really well.

It's great to see development activity for 3.0 plugins and of course a big thanks to the developer 🥰

Is GIMP 3.0 about to come out? (infosec.pub)
 

Just had a look at the GIMP 3.0 milestones page and saw this.

Am I missing anything or is GIMP 3.0 actually going to be released soon?!

Download a Lemmy conversation as a PDF? (lemm.ee)
 

Does anyone know if I can download a lemmy post, including all of its replies as a PDF or similar easy-to-read file?

Thanks!

Pirating My Own Music? (lemm.ee)
 

I want to start releasing my own music and have no interest in the corporate streaming platforms. I have only a basic conceptual understanding of torrenting but it seems to me like a nice way of sharing my music with people directly.

What do I need to do and consider in order to make a music release freely available in this way?

Currently my knowledge and experience is limited to using an application on my computer to search for and download files from others but I'm willing to learn.

Any advice or signposting much appreciated :)

GIMP 3.0 Will Have Resynthesizer From Day One (lemm.ee)
 

Just saw on Mastodon that the Resynthesizer plugin will be ready to use with GIMP 3.0

Along with other third-party plugins developed for GIMP, like G'MIC and BIMP, Resynthesizer is so integral to our workflows that it's easy to forget that it's not part of the core project.
