I threw out some old plants because they had grown in an ugly way. But.. (lemmy.world)
 

..but I forgot to take out the reusable metal holders for yellow stickers against fungus gnats that were still stuck in the soil, so I just went out to the dumpster to retrieve them. They were still there.

They don't even need to be rich. Maybe that amount of money actually meant something to them and they were just awkward and a bit lost, but in these times, who could blame them. At least they wanted to do a nice thing :)

I disagree with the other commenter, keep the paint job, to strike fear into the hearts of the paper targets.

How can I repair these dents my Ikea couch has been making in my hardwood floor? (lemmy.world)
 

I was thinking some transparent filler maybe, and grinding/polishing it down? There's some varnish on the wood anyway.

What's a cheap, silent Cisco Router to practice with? (lemmy.world)
 

Hey,

I want to get the CCNA certification and will need to study on my own. I want to buy an old cheap Cisco Router to practice the CLI, but don't want a huge, noisy thing running in my living room.

Do you know models that could fit that? I'm seeing a model 880 cheap on a platform here, e.g.

(Or is it maybe not that necessary to practice with an actual router for the exam? Would some virtual CLI be enough?)

Any help is very welcome :)

What are the most miserable travel vlogs? (lemmy.world)

So during COVID lockdowns I developed this guilty pleasure of watching YouTubers having miserable times, in the best case vanlife YouTubers.

I'm feeling the old itch, can you help me? Do you know any videos of people on travel channels having really, really bad times?

I prefer vanlife people, followed by boatlife people. But I'm open to different modes of transport. The more privileged the people and the more miserable their travels, the better.

Edit: so I will give you guys something at least, can't find any of the random small stuff I watched years ago atm. The channel vagrant holiday maybe doesn't quite fulfill the criteria, because the guy is doing everything consciously, but it's a fantastic channel, and there definitely is discomfort:

Was Sarah Lynn from BoJack Horseman based on this song? (lemmy.world)
 

There is this Alien Ant Farm song called "Sarah Wynn" about a drug using young woman.

Apparently the band saw a documentary about a woman with that name and wrote the song about her.

I need to know - is Sarah Lynn based on this?

What documentary was the song based on?

(Please help me, I am in pain from not knowing this)

Donating a gaming PC, how can I let them try my games in a safe way? (lemmy.world)
 

Hey guys,

so I posted here a few weeks ago, with the idea of donating a gaming PC to a nursing home. I talked to someone in charge there today, this might actually happen.

Thing is, to try this out I would probably have to supply the software (Microsoft Flight Simulator being the most important now.)

As I understand it, you can only use the Flight Simulator with a Microsoft account. If I let them use my own account, that would mean a PC with my logged in account would be standing around there in the open, for anyone to access.

Does anyone have any idea how to approach this in a safe manner? I wish I could just buy a physical copy and let them have it for a while, before they buy their own. But even those need a connected Microsoft account nowadays, it seems.

Was also thinking of buying a used Xbox Series S (this might become the long term solution anyway), but same issue with the account, I believe.

(Man, modern gaming keeps finding ways to be annoying sometimes.)

P.S. If you have great game recommendations for octogenarians, bring them on!

Could a gaming PC be a good thing in a nursing home? (lemmy.world)
 

Recently talked to a 90+ year old man in a park in front of his nursing home, guy is a former RC plane enthusiast. Can't do anything now because of his age, though. Bored all the time, sitting in the park is his highlight.

Thinking of donating an old gaming PC that can somewhat run the Microsoft flight simulator. Would that be a good idea? Can the average 80-90 year old use that at all, just speaking sensorically and motor skill wise?

Are there any other thoughts you have on that idea?
