Whenever some pitches me on an amazing solution to a problem, I usually ask
1. Is this really a problem?
2. If so, is it a big problem?
3. Does this solution actually solve the problem?
It’s amazing how often the answers to one or more of these questions is no.

I've made a Transfem wallpaper all by myself! 
Made a PC (7680x4320) and a mobile (4320x7680) variant, hope y'all like it.
If someone wants to share or edit it: I've licensed it under the Creative Commons BY-NC-SA 4.0 license, so go ahead and use it 
Update: I've published a wide desktop (15360x4320) variant of this wallpaper for usage with two monitors here: https://fly.staropensource.de/notes/a6hyefwz8ya60243
(for anyone wondering, the formula is of Estradiol)

This is what happens when this one does not have access to a hot-air-station >:3
@eniko Oh just realized I forgot to mention this, I got the version with the built-in battery ("Lithium"). Don't know if the AAA battery version has a different build.
@why2025camp@chaos.social ... this text is extremely flowery and difficult to read and understand, honestly.
Was this generated with some LLM or something? It reads exactly like the usual over-enthusiastic tech startup pitch writing...

@mynameistillian (Also, adding a bit of oil and water to the tin will help to make it nicer as well. Can do that at the start, don't need to add to it later)

Hey fedi, so I have this cheap doohickey for using computers away from a desk. It's got a touch pad and keys and is absolutely the right solution for the problem
But it sucks. The keys start bad and if used too much stop registering reliably, the touch pad ain't great, and it keeps losing connection to the dongle despite it being like 8 feet away
Is there some kind of premium version of these that exists? So far I've only ever seen the terrible dirt cheap ones for sale anywhere
(If you don't mind plz boost for reach I am *desperate*)
EDIT: to be clear the handheld/gamepad-like form factor is what makes this work so a more traditionally keyboard shaped device with an additional trackpad isn't really a suitable replacement

@mynameistillian Another low-spoons way to cook is to just toss a bunch of ingredients (vegetables, potatoes, meat, fish, whatever) into an oven dish, add some salt and pepper, and put it in the oven at 180C covered by tinfoil for like 45 mins. And optionally 10-15 more minutes with the tinfoil removed if you want to make it nicer and are okay with an extra step.
The result is surprisingly nice and you don't need to deal with per-ingredient cooking times, just about everything will do fine at that temp and duration, except for rice and pasta probably.
(I used to do this in a shitty countertop grill oven, the kind you'd normally only use for frozen pizzas, so you don't need a fancy oven or anything, just something with a working heating element)

Spent an afternoon at @hackalot shifting furniture around. A “new” free stuff cabinet, and the big storage rack moved to the main space to vastly increase storage around the soldering table. We then added a bunch of light to make the table more attractive and usable. Also added a light above the 3d printers.
@silvermoon82 That's my most plausible hypothesis as well, though it's weird that the manual wouldn't mention it, and I'm honestly not sure how the calibration for the forecast would even work given that that uses multiple input variables!

Who needs #Keukenhof anyway? #Bloomscrolling #Tulips #Florespondence
@silvermoon82 It would be a bit weird to have that in the normal configuration flow? Like, the one that you use to set the time

23andMe just declared bankruptcy. They're selling the gathered data.
If you have used their services, delete it *now*.
Did they accidentally leave the secret weather control feature unlocked on my unit...?
So I got a new 'weather station' thing that shows barometric pressure as well as the 'forecast' (basically icons indicating the type of weather).
Except in configuration mode it also lets you *set* the barometric pressure and weather forecast. The manual mentions none of this. I have questions...
