The grocery we use keeps boxes by the checkout. Saves them throwing them out, since they get hundreds from suppliers.

Cat doesn't give you a whole lotta choice in the matter.

It's not even that it's low-tech. Tape is high-tech, it's been updated over the years. LTO10s are targeting 36TB of data per tape.

It's the pig-ignorant newbies thinking "hurr durr tapes are 1970s tech". Hard drives are also 1970s tech.

They have their advantages and disadvantages, is all. They're not well suited for situations where you can't guarantee a clean room (or enclosed tape reader), for instance, since the tape medium is exposed to the air. Dust can mess it up REAL good.

But for some situations, it's indispensable.

Honestly I don't care enough. If I happen to be in the interface I'll probably turn it off, sure. It doesn't inform any decisions, I barely register that the number exists.

Perhaps not. My subjective experience of my Withings scale is that the reported fat percentage has at least remained where I've expected given my general activity level. ie, fat percentage goes up when I'm sedentary, down when I'm active.

But it's more a curiosity than a useful metric regardless.

They're not accurate but I think they can at least track trends consistently. A clock that's five hours ahead still tells you how much time has passed relative to itself. Similarly a scale might tell you what direction your fat level is trending.

Wouldn't the authentication API provided by your DNS host be the ACME server?

I can only wish you good luck.

Post-war Dutch music (self.thenetherlands)
submitted 10 months ago by rbos to c/[email protected]
 

Apologies for the English, my monolingualism is entirely my own fault at this point.

The tldr: my grandmother grew up during WW2 in the occupied Netherlands, and migrated to Canada in the 1950s in her 20s.

She is likely in the stages of early dementia, and one of the recommendations for dementia patients is to find music that they'd likely enjoyed as teenagers or young adults. I'd like to see if I can find something that fits that rough description. I expect I can make do with the English catalogue of classic rock and country from that time, but it'd be nice to find something a little different.

Can someone make any broad recommendations for popular Dutch music from the 1950s? Ideally, something I can find in mp3 format, but I'm willing to spend some money.

This is our hand-drawn map of our immersive-mode Valheim map - I sail while my partner maps on the boat. We call out terrain observations, bearing, etc while we're sailing.

Currently, we're settled on a Plains island in the south, four days' sail from spawn, and have established a full base in preparation for Ashlands.

 

So, I've been playing immersive mode. We just took down Queen, which was a pretty good challenge, and packed up the essentials and went all the way from the deep north to the (completely unexplored) edge of the Ashlands. Deciding what to pack on the longboat was a huge challenge, and we forgot some stuff, but made it work.

One thing we took a risk on: we brought a stack of beech seeds. Turned out to be one of the best decisions of the trip! Once the initial round of tree planting was done, we had an inexhaustible source of super convenient wood without having to travel for it.

Does anyone else have any base bootstrapping tips?

Oliv on Steam created a set of very nice maps for TLD zones, including the new Zone of Contamination.

THE LONG DARK Updated to v 2.26 (hinterlandforums.com)
submitted 1 year ago by rbos to c/thelongdark
 

Looks like mostly bugfixes and such. Clipping, art, visual bugs mostly.

I've been impressed by how solid this DLC release has been so far, nothing super gamebreaking.

 

The Long Dark is launching part 4, video is livestreaming at time of writing.
