Show spinner when uploading images for post.
Spinner shows while thumbnail is being shown after upload and thumbnail is being generated, but not when actually uploading. (I am attempting to attach gif to this post, but not sure if upload has failed, still going or just not possible.)
I am mobile while I am creating this post, so uploads are laggy anyway.
Having the new cookbook online grants access to just about everyone. Back in the day, finding a BBS that actually had a real copy was a chore and was part of the mystique.
To limit accessibility, you could used some dried out wood pulp and some kind of black, staining liquid for lettering. Actually needing a physical copy of something would probably be just as confusing for kids as it would be for the feds.
Since the only things sent via USPS these days is home refinancing opportunities and people asking for money, sending something useful through the mail would go unnoticed.
I have my doubts that China needs Russia for anything other than cheap oil and military weapons designs. With Russia tied up in Ukraine any posturing at this point is kind of a silly drill, IMHO.
Who knows... It could be something bigger later, but not now or for a few years after the Ukraine conflict is over.
Insert my original "shrug" emoji here. It's not a big deal and finding one log with one mods opinion isn't what I would consider a trend.
Some instance owners have blocked ml and there are are occasional discussions of broader action.
I haven't fully blocked it yet as there are some neutral communities that are still fun. Anything related to news or politics is on my blocklist, for sure.
I get what you are asking and I am going to avoid the specific topic you were discussing (as much as I can) in the interest of objectivity.
ml tends to be a safe-space for some people who have wildly different opinions than what "many people" tend to believe is true. It automatically sets up a comment that would be "normal" on this instance as "hostile" on another.
Some countries do have diplomatic ties with Hamas and do not consider them a terrorist organization. If I had to guess, that is the reason for the underlying issue. If a person happens to relate with that viewpoint, any comment to the contrary may be considered hostile.
This sounds trite, but the phrase "Read the room" might apply.
By definition, yes*. In reality, it fits a larger consensus and I personally don't think it's a big deal.
At the end of the day, mods do what they want. On ml specifically, they tend to have their own distinct narratives they follow and may kick-ban any dissent.
Posting on some ml communities can be interesting if you aren't up-to-date with the meta.
* You could be unreasonably attached to a belief from the viewpoints of others. It's subjective.
It's ml. I was banned from a few communities for calling Putin the new Hitler and I still have no idea what their problem was.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Because being unique is scary and goes against conformism.
Guideline: Don't. If you do, clearly call out that it is a work of fiction and has about a thousand different versions depending on who was in charge at the time.
I just used to use vodka to flavor up the tomato juice in the mornings.
I have no idea. Using coax-seal is just what I have always used and just have been blindly following what my dad always used since I was a kid.
There are probably better options these days. If it's rubber-like and sticky, it should work fine.
If you plan on keeping it up for a while, some coax-seal might be ideal on the antenna connector since you are in Seattle. It's some nasty stuff to work with, but it'll save you some maintenance.
A local mesh group where I live hosts meet-ups that they occasionally announce on 220/440, so keep your ears open for that in your area.
(I am in Denver, so I am a little out of your range. Or maybe not? High solar activity does strange things... Once, I keyed about 4-5 repeaters on 2M from my house, so anything is possible.)
WHAT?
Also, late?
it's an ad
Yay! Marketing!
Different characters pop up for a second or two.
I actually designed a project box for a longboard for someone that wanted to motorize it.
Having never had the motor coordination for a regular skateboard, a longboard looked like an easier option. A few of my friends have them, but I never got the courage to try in front of an audience.
Optional input field for manually typing in community names
Search is fine, but there have been several cases where I have wanted to manually enter a community name and instance.
Search can be odd at times and being able to have connect at least attempt to jump to a community would be a nice to have.
Invalid search results. (images in comments)
Edit: I can now post and view cat pics. Yay!
Searching for "cat" or "cats" yields [email protected] with Connect, but not from web. "cat" is an invalid community.
[email protected] should be correct community and listed in search results.
I can't remember the last time I spent a couple of anxiety filled days in bed because of doing something extremely stupid.
I mean, I still do some stupid and brainless things but I can own that stuff without fear.
The absolute worst is only being able to half-remember most of the stupid shit I did. That stuff still kinda haunts me, but in some ways, that is a necessary evil of sobriety.
This was just a random thought that I needed to write. Maybe it gives someone else something to hope for. Maybe it reminds others of why we choose not to drink. Regardless: IWNDWYT
Mac 'n Trees
A few hours later, I just discovered how long this cheesy noodle trend has been going on for.
Also, this idea was already taken by a previous poster who likely started this trend quite a few days ago, I see.
My mistake!
Would celite/carbon vacuum filtration perform well enough to remove photopolymers from isopropyl alcohol?
I am simply on a quest to find an effective non-distillation method for purifying isopropyl alcohol used for rinsing resin 3D prints.
I have seen some elaborate systems for curing and then filtering resin that is suspended in the isopropyl by running it through standard carbon water filters. That just seems a bit over-complex and does a poor job of removing dyes. In some cases, the filters are not fine enough and the isopropyl will eventually get "sticky".
It seems to me that a finer filtration system would work much better. Carbon and celite should catch most of the monomers and oligomers, but I am not sure about the photoinitiators and other additives.
Distillation is obviously the best method for purity, but there may be a worse cleanup and a higher fire hazard risk.
Are there better materials that I could use for filtering besides celite and carbon? IPA is tiny compared to the rest of the molecules I am dealing with so filtration seems viable.
(I should note that I would bulk develop the used IPA in clear plastic containers in the sun for a day or two first.)
Fork an open source version of Connect (suggestions and discussion welcomed)
Before I get into my comments, I just want to ask that if you haven't bought the dev a coffee, please buy him a coffee. Personally, I have bought several with the intent of covering for those who cannot. Our dev has earned it.
I am just going to say that Connect is awesome. Even through early development, when there were huge issues, it progressed at a good pace. And yeah, it has gotten super stable and functions great as a simple and easy to use Lemmy client.
I would also like to make clear that I respect this app as the sole devs creation. He/She is 100% able to direct this project as they see fit. Period.
However. One person development teams can be a serious risk to the longevity and stability of an app. People get tired and burned out. People have actual lives outside of working on a single app. People can just vanish from dev work. That is all normal.
With the recent Lemmy instance updates and some subtle bugs that are showing, my concern is that it may become a much larger challenge to keep this app up to date. In my limited dev experience, core API changes (or API bugs) are a royal pain in the ass to deal with. A person could spend more time just keeping their app functional instead of developing new features or working on minor bugs.
I was hoping that people in this community that have experience with the development of large open source projects, can contribute ideas for our dev that may make it palatable to open this project up to additional contributors.
I think the biggest things I would like to call out is that if this project is opened, it may damage any revenue that is being generated by this app for the dev and I don't want to see that happen. (People gotta work and people gotta eat. )
What open source licenses are available that would keep full control of this app in the hands of the original dev? (Is that even a viable option?)
Quite simply, other than opening this app up fully, I don't quite know exactly what I am asking for. It would be nice to keep full control of this app in the hands of the dev, while also allowing community development.
Just to reiterate, this post is not meant to be rude or pushy. If anything I said came off that way, it was absolutely not the intent and offer a humble apology if it did.
Correct Anycubic R_E_R_F filename?
Edit: Just copy the original filename, Chinese and all, to a custom RERF file. It tested fine with the factory tests and also custom test parts I made. I didn't test with only "R_E_R_F.px6s" as the filename as I proved the original filename works fine with custom models.
Edit2: I had the motivation to check the file today without that Chinese and it works fine as well.
Just got a new Anycubic Photon Mono X 6Ks and the RERF file on the included USB has Chinese characters in the name. ("R_E_R_Fchch.px6s" / ch being Chinese characters...) Does the printer require those characters for custom RERF test prints, or is it actually just "R_E_R_F.px6s"?
The documentation is unclear and online searching is jumbled with several issues regarding this filename across different printer models.
I would like to start a simple business related to 3D printing, reverse engineering and 3D scanning. What are common pitfalls of first time entrepreneurs?
I am business dumb, but I have a very unique mix of skills I would like to turn into a side hustle. Needless to say, there is going to be a huge learning curve for me.
Sure, I could just sell 3D prints on Etsy, but I would rather focus on B2B type work with a more hands on approach than the Chinese print farms/PCB manufacturers. (I'll start an Etsy shop for practice, but that particular market seems extremely saturated.)
So, if you have started a business before, what are some basic things that you wish someone had told you before you did? Are there good books or other references I could use?
Strange pinning issue? A pinned post from another instance in All on .ca
Update: Not a Connect issue.
Strange. I don't see this as a pinned post on that community, but yet, there it is. Did an admin pin a post from another instance on .ca somehow or is this a bug with Connect? (Strange things are happening like this since the last Lemmy update. I can't tell if it's a Connect issue, or a Lemmy issue.)
/c/new is listed under other communities. NSFW tiles blurred but not hidden. (lemmy.ca / 0.19.4)
That feed is not /c/cat on lemmy.world, it seems.
I just logged out and logged back in with no change. I'll clear my cache to see if that helps and will update this post if successful.
Edit: Clearing the cache did not help. Must be a Lemmy API issue?
Edit 2: NSFW communities are not hidden in the faux community feed either. Thankfully, they are blurred, but not hidden. Posting a comment with a picture from what was supposed to be lemmy.world/c/world. (Did I use "faux" correctly? I rarely use that word, so hopefully the intent shows.)
Edit 3: Ok, weird. cat on lemmy.world is broken from my account on .ca, but other communities are not, like business on lemmy.world. lemmy on lemmy.ml is also broken. The issue is more random than I thought.
Inseparable brothers. We went to adopt one and came back with both.
Fenn and Sudo. (Yes. I am nerd and Sudo is "my" kitty.)
Checking and charging HVAC: Plausible DIY?
I am very much a DIY'er and doing my own HVAC repairs have never been out of the question. Actually, I have rebuilt a couple of systems, less the pressurized parts of the system.
HVACs are great until they aren't and the need for repairs always comes up at the worst possible time. It would be nice to know more details for those reasons.
If you ignore the direct question about charging an HVAC, there could actually be a small, slow leak in my system as it stands. That'll get troubleshot in due time. (Still, I don't think I have ever had a system that didn't need the system to be topped off after a few years, even with no detectable leaks...)
It doesn't seem difficult: Ensure system is at correct temperature; attach a gauge; depressurize/pressurize as needed.
There has to be some "gotchas" in there somewhere. The equipment is cheap enough and I am fairly sure I can source the correct refrigerant easy enough.
Aside from needing to store and manage a small supply of refrigerant and that there are some annoying risks (like a system freezing over, etc..), what cost factor and equipment am I not taking into account?
If you knew in advance about being laid off, how would you YOLO the exit interview?
I am fairly sure that I am being laid off with other Sr. Engineers tomorrow and need some ideas. Basically, I saw a calendar mistake by HR, so oops!
Meh. It's gonna suck for a bit, but whatevers. Life is more important than a shit job. :)
Source instance shown at top of post.
When browsing on lemmy.ca/c/all and I click through to a post, the local source instance and community for a post is shown as lemmy.world/c/hot. The source instance is something completely different and shown in the post info bar below the title.
This can get awkward when I think I am commenting on a post I think is on lemmy.world or lemmy.ca when it might actually be lemmy.ml.
Highlighting the source instance a little better would be super awesome.
My Lemmy Rule
Edit: The above Connect filter only works for title posts. It doesn't seem to filter comments or community names.
I mention this only because of some questions here and how people are going to the effort to censor out comments on this post.
