A long 2 weeks

That seems to imply everything you're willing to pay for would still be accessible. That's just not the case I think. Things dissappear full stop, also if you do want to pay for it.

A lot of non super popular, not very internationally known media eventually disappears into non-accessible copies in private collections: hard drives, non public accessible computers etc and at the same time becomes nearly impossible to purchase or otherwise retrieve online. For example public broadcasters in Europe: they don't want to put in the money and effort to preserve their entire archives, they don't make everything from the past accessible, things do get lost in their archives (sometimes as a conscious choice) and at the same time it is illegal for private people to archive it... until it is too late. For example lots and lots of radio plays are probably already lost forever.

At about 10 skidays so far. Some very nice weather ones, some in rough weather. Some days in big high resort (Saas-Fee), some days on small slopes with only some very old "Schlepper" lifts (area Black Forest, Jura, Vosges). The rough weather has its charm imo, to some extend and as long as there is reasonable visibility, there's very few people on the slopes and very busy slopes is my main safety concern as some people ski really fast and recklessly on full slopes, scared if being hit from behind sometimes.

So far it's been quite a good winter for skiing here, more snow than previous years, but unfortunately I can't find as much free time for skiing as I'ld wish between working and other obligations.

I also got some gear upgrades: "new" second hand ski's for a bargain: they're way better than what I was used to. The trick was buying them from a ski rental place. Appearantly they get new skis pushed by producers every year who want to market innovations and a lot of the ski school and ski rental 2nd hand gear is relatively new and in very good shape. And my brand new discount end of the series ski jacket from decathlon has been very worth it! I used to go down with regular jacket and just 3 or 4 sweaters underneath :')

I am also not pro at all, only started 3 years ago. I did it as a kid on fake indoor snow a few times then nothing for more than 20 years. On very steep slopes I just basically go sideways permanently, slowly grinding down. I try to avoid black pistes tbh. It's just necessary sometimes when there are really cool blue/red slopes but you have to do a bit of black to get to the start of them... The here yellow labelled pistes which aren't prepared by the machines I avoid full stop, it feels very very dangerous to me: with deep snow patches and hidden bumps... Not my cup of tea.

Anyhow, it's fun and I enjoy it more and more still.

I am also slowly trying to get better at carving, so far I can only do it properly on very flattish pistes, gaining too much speed too soon while trying carving on steeper slopes

Happy skiing!!

Honestly why not just use an old laptop you have laying around to test 1 or 2 of your many project/ideas and see how it goes, before going 4000 $ deep.

Not OP. I'm willing to learn Docker, but I just can't get it going. My machine is permanently connected through nordvpn, I use meshnet to access it from other devices if I'm not on local wifi. The docker + VPN doesn't work. Docker fails to download anything from docker hub, every request times out. Any instructions to bypass it looked very difficult, manually editing subnets or something, I feel uncomfortable with. Disabling services, then disabling VPN, then installing docker stuff and then restarting services and VPN also seems silly. I got lots going throught dietpi (many nicely embedded services), though it's holding me back for example from running jellyseerr

In my experience a very large % of delayed trains are "people on the tracks", either people acting stupid or suicide attempts.

Why would this not be legal in EU if the conditions of using the copilot are clearly stated in the agreement? GDPR etc is mostly just that: requirement for clear language + informed consent.

No, i'ld like to be able to do it on the go, while on the train for example

Edit: if plugging in is the option, i can just use remote desktop, sftp, etc, no problem at all. Specifically looking for best way to send from phone to server while server not physically accessible.

I see. It looks a bit more 'sketchy' than the original syncthing did tho. Is it trustworthy?

I indeed do not want to store it all on the phone. It's more like a temporary folder on the phone, just to upload it to the jellyfin

Wow this is a really good app! Thanks

Depends on numbers of simultaneous streaming capability you need i think. I recently bought a 50 € used esprimo "office computer" and it runs very well. I put a 50 € 1TB nvme SSD+ ~200 € 4TB external ssd and a 30 € wifi pci card and good to go, +- 330 € total... Used an old 1TB HDD i still had for back-up. It wouldn't suffice for dozens of simultaneous streams with transcoding, but it runs my <5 users jellyfin+deluge+nextcloud very well.

If RAM upgradable to dual channel it could still make a big difference

Lidl (sh.itjust.works)
 

Entschuldigung, wenn dies nicht der richtige Ort für diese Frage ist, aber weiß jemand, warum diese Aufstriche von Lidl verschwunden sind? Die in den Glasdosen. Lidl, bitte bring sie zurück. Ich danke euch.

docking station (self.steamdeck)
 

I just ordered a refurbished steam deck :D

Because of all the great reviews still, long after launch and because i'm very enthousiastic about being able to use it as both a handheld console on the train and as a full blown desktop at home. I've honestly long been waiting for such devices... And wonder why android phones still don't really do that.

Now, regarding the docking station: the official one is quite pricey.

It does not matter at all that the charging of the dock is rated at 60W, which is more than the steam deck needs, right?

Would this thing do the trick? I'l need to connect 1 usb dongle for mouse and keyboard in the usb 2 port, 1 hdmi to screen, 1 usb 3 to external harddisk and then the charging. SD is nice to have, don't really need it. I don't care that the deck will be laying flat on a desk instead of being able to use it standing up as a tiny second screen.

 

I travelled a bit through Italy recently, by bicycle. Cycling here seems either

  • super sporty road cyclist
  • poor people on what's left of what used to be a bicycle

Stumble upon Lodi, Lombardy: cyclists everywhere, like dutch style: adults carelessly cycling with 2 kids and lots of luggage on a single normal city bike and without helmets. What's so different about Lodi (or the region) that it's so common here, but not in other Italian small or medium cities? Any Italians with answers? Thanks

 

Like, I get comments from people telling me it's weird I always try to peel potatoes like I am trying to make the worlds longest 1-piece potato peel. To me it feels way for efficient and fun to continu down a potato in 1 peel, while circling around it, instead of randomly scraping a hundred different pieces of peel off and having to reintroduce the cutter knife to the potato for every piece.
