I’m really happy to have an account here. I was on lemm.ee until it disappeared recently and while there I always found slrpnk communities and users to be the most inspirational and worthwhile reason to use the Lemmy platform, and indeed the internet. Doing a lot of good

Welcome :)

Yeah, that’s pretty much what I’m doing at the moment (haven’t quite got to door-to-door though - maybe it will come to that). Those are some good ideas for locations for placing ads - thanks. I’m out of that headspace and need to get back in it!

I can’t help noticing how much work is coming in to my peers from instagram though. I’m getting the impression that it has become the standard medium/conduit for professionals.

Last time Ilooked they had something called Nextpush or somesuch. Is it that or something new?

Me too. I’m sure it’s fine but someone should pop a message to the developers about it.

You should be able to do it via USB too if you allow data transfer in USB settings on Android when you plug it into your Debian machine. Also Syncthing. I’ve been doing it these ways for years. No hacking needed.

I use Musify from F-droid for what your describing.

To be honest though I only really listen to my offline collection and radio/internet radio for discovering new music.

Check out The Indie Beat. It’s an internet radio station playing music from artists on the Fediverse, like Radio Free Fedi used to. All my favourite discoveries from the last couple of years have been by or via Fedi artists.

Looks good 👍

What is your apptracker?

I think almost any popular DSLR from the last 10–15 years, combined with the sort of zoom lens that you’ve already mentioned will be a sufficient choice for a newcomer.

Just make sure that it’s in good working order if buying used and if you have a choice look for one with a lower shutter count. Another thing I’d suggest is to get something where you’ll still be able to use your lenses if/when you upgrade.

I think if I were you I would get the Nikon D3300, 35mm 1.8 (nice background blur for close subjects i.e portraits) and a cheap kit lens.

You can also save money by ditching the Adobe suite and using Rawtherapee, ART or Darktable to process your raw image files and GIMP for the rest of your editing. These are all fantastic pieces of photography software.

Have a great time shooting in Paris!

I’m not a programmer (don’t know about code) but appreciate this ethos from a user’s perspective, so:

• LosslessCut (trims, combines and separates videos without reencoding)
• Xpano (stitches photographs/makes panoramas, easy, just works)
• Colorway (on-screen eye-dropper for colour; gives hex code and combinations)
• Wordbook (offline dictionary)
• Breathing (it’s just breathing)
• Blanket (nice background sounds)

lol

Yes please! Would you mind also sending me a message when you do, in case I don’t see the post? Thanks :)

WILSOOOOON!!

Seriously though, this is so cool.

That is some serious battery capacity.

Based on the figures in the article the boats battery must weigh nearly 30 tonnes! It is a big boat though.

Is this for yourself?

A few months ago I thought about doing some workshops or presentations in my local area and asked a similar question about whether anyone had already put together something cohesive and as simple as possible but I couldn’t find anything that quite fit the bill.

Maybe there is something already out there but if anyone wants to collaborate on making something let me know.

Great review - thanks for writing it.

I love e-ink screens and physical keyboards, so this looks ace. Almost like a cyberdeck but with all the advantages of access to android apps.

I wonder how easy it would be to ‘de-google’.

Indians are awesome.

I would use Keepass. You would have a single file, opened with a single password, that you could share with them however you want.

Wishing you the best

A very cool dad to have taken a toddler hunting with him.
