I take on or start too many projects, and often get to a place where they’re so intertwined and tangled that I just stall.

Is there a simple free project organisation app that would help me last the chunks of what I need to do out, and see which ones are holding up parts of other projects? It might make me feel less like I’m slowly being buried alive buy my own choices

Is there a decent lightweight pic viewer for Mac? Preferably open source. I have quite a lot of photos, and using finder/preview to show people my images is pretty clunky, and using darktable isn’t really ideal either. I’m just after something that allows for a quick and simple skimming through folders, and a nice clean display of the chosen image.

Right, this is driving me up the wall. I’d really, really like a bag similar in layout to the Domke F2, but scaled to fit a GX9 and set of m43 lenses, if that makes sense.

All the shoulder bags I can find are either lacking in pockets and lens dividers, or are deep for FF lenses like my Thinktank bag, so everything gets lost in the depths.

Surely this can’t be such a big ask? Is there anything between little bags that hold a half a camera and one lens, and these deep messenger bags that would hold a whole studio’s worth of nonsense. Can I not have a Domke Fm4/3?

Is there such a thing as a list of the Cosmere books by series? Everything I’ve found so far either lists them book by book, with pictures and other bumf, or is just a chronological B list with all the non-Cosmere books jumbled in.

Essentially, I like to compile a bullet-pointed list in my notes app for my favourite authors and for a universe as complex as this, I’d like to have all the Mistborn listed under one subheading, Stormlight under another, etc, etc. I’m a bit anal about these things, and I like to be able to check them off and know I’ve got them all.

I’m sure it’s out there somewhere, just itching for me to come along and copy and paste it! Thanks in advance

I shoot on m4/3, so most of my filters are small. Most are 46mm, and the largest are 58mm. All the filter storage options are either large folding jobs that are long and wide, or are sort of stacked up but for large filters. I’d ideally like something like this, but for filters half the size.

What’s your best filter storage solution for say 10 filters, either 46mm or 58mm?

I have a feeling I know the answer, but thought it worth an ask, so here goes - I’ve not used FB in years, and generally try to keep fairly private online (Mullvad, librefox, etc) but I’ve found I’m missing out by not being able to use FB marketplace. If I set up a fresh account, and don’t use the social side of it at all, is there a fairly safe way to use Facebook? In a container, or in Mullvad browser with nothing else open? Or an an extreme, in a VM?

We’ve recently got a decent fibre gigabit connection, so after a lot of reading I bought a gl.i ax1800 Flint router to run Mullvad on, rather than having it on every device individually. The setup was simple, and while I know that it will impact speed to an extent, it seems to be really limiting the connection. Like to about 13mbps, which is slower than my almost non-existent 4g connection. From what I’ve read, I should expect the flint to be capable of giving me about 4/5ths of my connection speed, so on ours I’d been expecting something in the mid-hundreds, as I’m seeing 800mbps or so just on the cat 7 from the modem. It’s almost certainly my fault, or something I’ve overlooked in the setup, so any help or pointers would be much appreciated.

Hi all.

I’ve been looking for a pretty idiosyncratic Bluetooth speaker. Something that sounds good, isn’t in any way smart, and is just mains-powered.

Basically, I want something small for my small bedroom. No batteries to die, no unnecessary “smart” nonsense, just a fairly decent sound to listen to music/radio or podcasts from my laptop or phone.

Any suggestions?

I’m starting to design a quite large solar pergola, to be built in the southern uk. Has anyone got any advice on the different methods of adding waterproofing between panels? And/or any general tips or experiences in constructing the pergola?

The “block community” feature is pretty useful, but there are so, so many communities for the American hand-egg teams that blocking them individually is pretty tiring. Is there just an easy way to block the whole instance? It would also be pretty good for a few other instances I can think of.

Also, Memmy quits randomly pretty often, without any error reporting or anything. Is this common, and can I fix it?
