And he tagged the Hiring hashtag hahahahah moron. I always osint the hiring manager before accepting any position. I would see this, and flst out reject his offer. I've worked in enough toxic environments to recognize the personalities that create and garner them. Get bent Kiran.

I don't think I've ever purchased one. The ones that came with my phones have always outlasted my phones, and I keep my phones for years. I may no longer have those old phones, but I still have those cables in my cable box (even those pesky USB micro-b). Maybe I'm too gentle with them haha

I guess they were right about server issues haha

This site can’t be reached

Check if there is a typo in archive.gamehistory.org.

Did you run it locally or on their servers? I wonder if it's model thing, a server thing, or maybe both...

Unless that AI is not OpenAI, then it's "plagiarism" still.

About damn time.

This is fucked up.

Kenny's the man. Also, he doesn't like to be tagged just a cocaine dealer, or even just a drug dealer. Kenny's got range.

This is the first I'm hearing of this, but, honestly, I'm all for it. I have Aegis and will add this mfa step, but needed to change email anyway and this was a great reminder of that.

No number can encompass all that.

Maybe they should have a combo number would get us closer. But, still, the actual governing body must be completely impartial and logical in their rating. But also, we have to make a reality check on the priority of the rating in our own environments. Using your example, a 10 rating might be a 1 for that airgapped machine---judgement call.

While true, they can always claim they're being "extra safe" or some garbage and not censoring (which is what they're actually doing).

 

Someone posted a printable cutout of the Moomin House, so I resized it, and had a fun time putting it together.

I cut out the under-stairs door and placed the magic tophat in there.

If there are no objections, I can post the resized version here. Mods, just let me know if that's ok to do.

 

I'm looking to host a website for an organisation I run. I'm very familiar with WordPress and somewhat familiar with Drupal, but am highly technical and can learn other technologies. I do feel that a WordPress-type crm might be overkill, as I am not looking for user interaction on the site. I'm good with html, js, and css, so would not be opposed to a barebones provider.

Basically, who is everyone using, and what considerations went into that decision?

I have crossposted this question on .ml, as well, but can't properly link each on the other.

 

(Happy new years, mates!)

 

I vaguely remember this scene from my childhood, and can't remember anything else about it. Does anyone remember what episode this is?

If this is against the rules, please let me know (feel free to delete the post), so I know not to do it again, and accept my apology : /

Edit: Another posted this, too. Didn't realize it before I posted. I love this song, and I find it relaxing.

Here are a couple Moomin Valley mugs I received as gifts a couple years ago.

I can't describe the deep calm, reverence, these mugs, and this show in general, invoke.

Conclusion:

Thank you, everyone, for your expertise, experience, recommendations, suggestions, and patience!!

I have decided to go with the Platinum Preppy in Blue Black with fine nib. I didn't want to jump too far into it with an expensive (to me) one without any experience. So far, granted it's the first day, I love it. A lot. I'm going to give it a few days to see how it feels as a daily driver, but if the few bits I wrote are an indication, it won't be an issue.

Again, thank you all SO MUCH for your help!

Here's a (poor quality, sorry, it's night) picture of my new favorite pen:

Original Post

I didn't see anything on the sidebar where this is not allowed. BUT, if it isn't, please accept my sincerest apologies, and feel free to remove the post (or let me know, and I'll remove it).

A little backstory:

Ever since a quill that I happened to use (without permission, might I add) at a friend's grandfather's house oh so many moons ago, my fascination with pens began. Up until then, all I've used were pencils, markers, crayons, and a couple cheap ballpoint pens.

Over the many years, I have gone from pen to pen, never really finding "that pen feel" I've craved since that single-digit age. Now, I understand that quills write very differently to ballpoints, and even differently to many nibs. However, price has always been an object for me, regrettably, limiting my choices, forcing me to stay on the 'budget' side of things.

The closest I've found to that feel was a 0.8mm Micron felt-tipped pen. However, it wasn't close enough for me to stay with it, so the search continues.

(The feel: smooth, light, almost effortless glide on the page, while still feeling the tactility of the page with each stroke. The resulting line is smooth, but crisp.)

Recently (past couple years), I've been thinking more and more about that quill, and started searching for it again, to no avail. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if his grandfather had it custom made.

I would ask the friend or grandfather, but the grandfather has long passed, and the friend has disappeared shortly after uni (he always talked about going full hermit... I guess he did).

Yesterday, as I was aimlessly scrolling Lemmy, after, what seemed like the billionth time searching for that quill, I came across this community, filled with people searching for their illusive perfect pen; my people.

The ask

As before, price is an object (again, regrettably). Are there recommendations for budget fountain pens or quills with a few must-haves?

Would-Really-Like-To-Have ~~Must-Haves~~
  1. non-scratchy nib
  2. 0.5-0.7mm line is preferred, but no more than 0.8mm
  3. it can use ink cartridges, but it needs to also handle other inks from bottles (pumps or wells, I think it's called)
  4. budget, so within the 5-10€ range (I know this might be the biggest ask here)

The original quill that started it all

The shaft looked like a thick feather, with the feathery bits removed. I don't think it was an actual feather, though, as it was much thicker than any I've ever felt. The shaft held the ink, which was added by unscrewing the nib and pouring the ink in (or, as he did it, using a pipette), then screwing the nib back on. The nib was ornate; etched gold on the outside, smooth silver on the inside, split down the middle, with a small hole halfway down the split.

A preemptive thank you to everyone, for reading and considering this post.

Edit: added the last section about the original quill

Edit: change to really like to have, since it seems I was being too wishy with them being a 'must' : )

Has NewPipe v0.27.0 stopped working for anyone else? It won't play anymore. It loads the video page and comments, but throws an error when attempting to play or download the video. I've submitted an error report, but was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this.

Edit: thank you, everyone! I figured it was google being a giant turd again, but want sure, since it worked perfectly fine for me yesterday, and I didn't see anything pop up on Lemmy yet. I understand the logistical and costing nightmare of this, but we really need a FOSS decentralized video sharing platform to take hold and take off. Let google and other bigturdtech die where they made their beds.

Update: newpipe 0.27.1 was just released, which fixes this deliberately google-caused issue. As I understand, some other frontends implemented their own fixes, too. These teams are amazing!

There are no arrows, no obvious pins, no pin latches. This band is different than all of the ones I've ever sized. Does anyone know how to remove links from this band?

Edit: user Septimaeus was correct in that it was a fixed link band. The link they provided helped in understanding what is requires to resize, and the band now fits my wrist like it was made for it. Thanks!!
