My bad, I didn't realise that that was the article title. I'm surprised that Vox chose to go with that title but obviously that's got nothing to do with this post or the community rules.

Yeah I was always a boost user on reddit but there are too many bugs on the Lemmy version so I switched to Sync and have been very happy.

The UK doesn't have great solar energy potential because of the high latitude and general lack of sun. Wind is much more practical in this country however like solar it provides it's a non-stable energy source. To have a stable energy grid you ideally want a mix of stable and non-stable sources or non-stable sources and large battery storage facilities.

I love me some baby guiness but didn't realise it's a holiday thing. I may need to make a couple for Christmas this year

As a baby Guinness or drinking them separately?

 

TLDR. Some level of closure on:

  • High Street
  • St Giles Street
  • Parliament Square(s)
  • Cockburn St
  • Blair St
  • Lawnmarket (Castlehill to George IV bridge)
  • Johnston Terrace

It's nice to see more midrange android tablets being released. Speaking for myself I've been looking for a 1080p mid range android tablet and the options were very limited for many years. Most options had either 720p screens or CPU's so slow that the tablets were frustrating to use.

 

Hi everyone im new to the OSM community but eager to contribute. Im curious how many of you use OSM on android phones and how you interact with it. I'm interested both in terms of contributing but also using it for its map functionality e.g. navigation. Based in my early research so far the most popular apps seem to be:

  • OsmAnd
  • Vespucci
  • Maps.me
  • StreetComplete
  • Organic maps
  • Magic Earth

Im really looking for your opinions on what apps are worth using and for what purpose. Do you just use one app or multiple apps for different purposes. Which app would you recommend to your tech savvy friend and which to your mum? There's probably a bunch more i haven't mentioned so please also highlight them and any strengths or weaknesses they have. Thanks 😊

Hey, I'm a current trackt user and I'm curious what you don't like about trackt?

[–] JackOfNoTrades@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yep turns out it was a connect app issue

[–] JackOfNoTrades@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yep turns out you're right, the Connect app seems to work with all the http links whereas the ! links don't work. On the Jerboa app it's the opposite so the ! links work but the http links don't.

For some reason the link posted by Ghostalmedia worked for me but the link posted by the bot didn't. Can anyone explain why? Is it just because I'm on the lemmy.world instance?

[–] JackOfNoTrades@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hey that's so helpful thanks! Is that on the community sidebar or your profile you're referring to?

 

Hi there, I'm interested in collating a list of communities both to help me find them but also in the long term to create a list accessible to everyone in a simple way. Ideally it would be a list of all instances but just active instances would also be fine. I appreciate that https://browse.feddit.de/ already exists but I'd rather independently collate it both to avoid plagiarism and to ensure there are multiple independent sources of information. If you offer me any advice (even if it seems obvious to you) please reply. I'm fairly new to Lemmy so still figuring out how to navigate it all.

 
 

Hi everyone I'm new to all this so bear with me if I make mistakes. I'm currently running an Unraid server primarily running radarrr/sonarr/Plex etc usually the most it ever has to handle is 4 Plex streams and maybe some 'downloads' at the same time. Also will occasionally be used for transcoding using handbrake.

Currently I'm running an Intel i3-6100 which is a 2 core 4 thread cpu with a TDP of 51W. I live in the UK where electricity is exorbitant so I'm looking to upgrade to something more powerful while ideally not breaking the bank on electricity. Above I've listed the 4 main CPUs I've been considering and some of the relevant stats. Any advice/resources you can point me to are really needed. Thanks
