I live in Copenhagen, Denmark. There’s half a dozen scuba clubs in the area, and I’m a member of one of them. I got my speedboat license and the club trained me to take one of the boats out. I’m hoping to get the training for the second (larger) boat this year.

This means anytime I feel like going diving, and the weather is forgiving, I have a whole boat of people who want to tag along. I have a core group of people I dive a lot with, but basically anyone in the dive club is a very decent diver. Most of them have hundreds of dives, some of them in the thousands, and some of them at levels I can’t even begin to completely fathom. Very hardcore technical stuff, sidemount CCR in Norwegian caves and stuff.

Dive clubs cost money because they’re expensive to run. I pay about 15€/$20 per month. With that, we get a full trimix filling station with either partial pressure or continuous blending (doing my tech blender course this afternoon), a fully stocked workshop, 2 boats + trailers, a trailer for gear when we’re going on longer trips, 4-10 trips per year abroad (not included in the club fee, obviously), washing and drying room, storage for gear, cylinders, etc. Air fills are free and unlimited, nitrox/helitrox/trimix obviously we have to pay for the gases we use, but the club sells oxygen and helium at-cost. We also have a bar with at-cost drinks.

We have old-timers in the club who have been diving for 40-50 years. Some of them still dive to this day. They are a wealth of information.

If you have the gear and want to dive multiple times a week, year-round, then joining a club is definitely worth it.

@geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml Can we please ban this troll/anti EU contributor already?

Non mais, c’est quoi ce langage alarmiste?

C’est quoi le but exactement? De faire croire aux gens que les airbags sont plus dangereux que… checks notes… s’exploser le crâne sur le volant, en cas d’impact?

I’m someone who builds cloud infrastructure for a living. I only touch AWS (Amazon), but the same applies to Azure (Microsoft) and GCP (Google).

Kagi is private. Saying that they “rely” on Google because they use GCP is akin to saying that the US Army relies on General Motors because they use Hummers. It’s just a provider. They’re renting virtual machines, compute power, storage, and network bandwidth nothing more. You can use GCP/Azure/AWS without your data ever being visible by GCP/Azure/AWS. It’s not because you use GCP that you have to use AdSense/Analytics/Fonts, etc. They are completely separate.

Politicians would have a field day with all the cloud providers if using one thing forced you to use everything.

Because those are the rankings that are displayed in the Chess@lemmy.ml sidebar. They haven’t been updated in over a year.

It could be a case of too much cooling, while simultaneously being too much heat.

If you’re blowing so much air that the filament instantly solidifies when it leaves the nozzle, it’s not going to bond with anything else. It’s also interesting that the first layers are fine (when the part cooling fan is typically not running), but problems start when the part cooling fan turns on.

Have you tried without part cooling at all? Another thing is that your part cooling might be cooling down the tip of the nozzle, causing tiny partial clogs, which are cleared every so often by friction.

Did you notice a difference in print speed when you slowed down? As this is a small print, it could already be as slow as it will be due to minimum layer times.

It could also be that the nozzle spends too much close to the print. What happens if you print 2 or 3 of them?

This is typically more of an issue with PC where you don’t have a part cooling fan running, but maybe it’s the case here too?

Definitely doesn’t sound like an issue with Tor Browser in Strict Mode. /s

The simple fact that buying a $300 device and to “not expect software updates” is not considered a scam is hilarious to me.

Interesting that the extra 10° makes such a difference for ASA and ABS.

I recently started printing with ASA in my enclosed MK4. I might have to try this.

Soit tout le monde a un vote, soit personne n’en a. Limiter la participation c’est créer des non-citoyens, et on a vu ce que ça donne.

Là où il faut intervenir c’est sur la participation. 51% à l’échelle européenne. 51.5% en France. La Belgique fait la fière avec ses 90% de participation, mais ça ne suffit pas. En Croatie 4 personnes sur cinq se sont abstenues. Bon nombre de pays où c’est 2 sur 3.

As far as I know the 1DXIII is still being produced, nearly 4 and a half years after its launch.

Single lens reflexes have one massive advantage: the sensor is not being used while you’re composing or idle, which means the sensor doesn’t heat up as much. Hot sensors generate noise, which you then have to compensate for (by doing an equal exposure with the shutter closed to remove the hot pixels).

But mirrorless is faster, cheaper to produce, smaller. It’s inevitable that DSLRs will soon be a relic of the past. But they won’t be for a while: 30% of the enthusiast market in 2022 was still DSLRs.

Perpignan est géologiquement dans une cuve de pierre, avec très peu d’entrées naturelles. Les POs n’ont que 40% du terrain qui est “sédimentaire”, et qui peut donc absorber l’eau de pluie. L’Agly, le Réart, la Tet et le Tech sont régulièrement a sec, je me souviens faire du camping dans le Réart il y a 20 ans.

La surface sédimentaire est très argileuse, ce qui veut dire que c’est un sol qui est incapable d’absorber de l’eau. Quand c’est sec, rien ne pénètre, et quand c’est saturé, rien ne pénètre. L’eau de pluie finit dans la Méditerranée.

Si tu superposes la carte page 19 du PDF et la carte page 16, tu vois que la majorité du terrain qui n’est pas de la roche pure c’est de l’argile. RIP.

First sentence on the first hit when searching for “Gmail smtp imap”:

For non-Gmail clients, Gmail supports the standard IMAP, POP, and SMTP protocols.

https://developers.google.com/gmail/imap/imap-smtp

What you’re referring to is the fact that GMail has apparently disabled authentication using username + password for SMTP/IMAP. I would assume that application passwords still work fine as a workaround, even if they don’t mention it specifically.

Okay, fairy nuff.

In that case, I would probably start with writing an SMTP or IMAP proxy first. It will teach you everything you need to know about the protocols, and you can reverse engineer the protocols using a client that already works.

It would give you a tangible project outline, which I believe is often critical to not lose motivation or interest.

If you accept using libraries, there’s the imap crate, the mail_send crate, and samotoo crate that are worth looking at.

I think you’re misguided about the APIs. Gmail supports IMAP and SMTP. Proton supports those too if you run an encryption bridge on your computer. Fastmail supports IMAP/JMAP/SMTP (they invented JMAP to try and innovate).

Email providers most likely must provide SMTP and IMAP due to compatibility requirements with Apple Mail and other clients.

Email is ridiculously complex—the technology is dead simple, but the number of exceptions and (undocumented) rules you need to abide by or risk getting banned by half the internet without being told is nothing to sneeze at.

I should know: I have built multiple support platforms that worked through email (amongst other channels).

You mention wanting to start at the SMTP level, and then building a Qt interface. So you’re going to write an SMTP client, an IMAP/POP3/JMAP client, a storage engine, a user interface, and a better search system, all on your own? You’re describing a gargantuan task.

No offense, but each one of those could be a project on its own. You probably think they’re all simple tasks (they’re not), and that you can follow a few RFCs to get things going (you can’t), and that it’ll be easy to debug (it won’t). Finally, I think you’re underestimating how large people’s email maps get.

Why not write a plugin for Thunderbird that improves the search?

You didn’t get laid off because you discussed your wages.

You were laid off because you couldn’t keep your cards close to your chest and told the company y’all had been discussing wages.

Having the right to discuss it doesn’t mean you should do it in front of the boss.

In Denmark, I’m part of a union which publishes salary stats for every possible job title, management responsibility, education, in a fairly convoluted matrix. Still, this allows me to easily negotiate with companies and see how well they pay. There might be something organised by the government, but I’ve never had a need for it.

Germany has a principle of equal treatment. The only way to ensure this is respected is to discuss wages. There is a legal precedent that makes it completely unambiguous that discussing wages is protected. It may be uncomfortable, but that’s just social pressure, encouraged by companies.
