I’ve been riding bikes for more than 50 years and never wore a helmet. Now I got an ebike - and a helmet. And I actually like it. It provides a bit of shade, the airflow is still good (it has many air holes), and it keeps almost all sweat from running down my face.

elmicha ,

I live in the city, but with the ebike I now can also go to the surrounding country side. I still like the helmet there, because shade for the head and a lot less sweat in my face. And it’s not a high end helmet, it is a cheap one from Aldi.

I don’t know how you ended up on a page for a Taiwanese marketplace and didn’t realise it.

But on the other hand the official customs page doesn’t have anything about animal products.

You cannot plug in any old power source, but you can with special micro inverters.

There are a handful of Zeppelin NT semi-rigid airships flying around nowadays. If you want to see a landing and start, I recorded this a few years ago.

Is there a standard/preferred list order for non-alphanumeric characters?

Alphanumerical lists are sortable by alphabet and number, obviously, but if you have a list where each entry begins with a different punctuation mark (or any other kind of non-alphanumeric character), is there a similar standardised ordering method for them?...

elmicha ,

The vertical bar (pipe) and broken bar are not the same symbol. Wikipedia has a whole section about it (“Solid vertical bar versus broken bar”). Only the pipe character can be used for pipes in Linux/Windows/Mac terminals.

If you happen to have a Fritzbox with VoIP capability it contains a SIP server and you can register SIP clients on it (e.g. Fritz App Fon, linphone, twinkle) and use them to phone internally.

You can use your phone with mobile connection (not WiFi) to check if it can see the file that you made available on your web server.

have to print, sign, scan, and email back

Can’t you scan or photograph your signature and insert it in your word processor?

elmicha ,

But Admiral Patrick (sorry, I still don’t know how to link/tag users) wrote he has to scan and email the physical signature from the paper, so it is not really physical anymore? Maybe he has to send the physical paper by snail mail in addition to the email.

Apparently it’s only bad for Mexicans:

Using those figures, the murder rate of U.S. citizens in Mexico was around 0.26 per 100,000 visitors, significantly lower than the rate in the United States.

If you can’t guess it, you could read the first sentence of the article.

I hit a similar bug today where I had used


<span style="color:#323232;">SYSDATE - NUMTOYMINTERVAL(2, 'year')
</span>

in Oracle. I don’t remember why I didn’t use sysdate - 2*365 instead, which works without problems for my use case (I don’t care about one day more or less). But I would have appreciated if the compiler or the IDE would have yelled at me.

Chat Control May Finally Be Dead: European Court Rules That Weakening Encryption Is Illegal (tuta.com)

The EU Court ruled that “Backdoors may also be exploited by criminal networks and would seriously compromise the security of all users’ electronic communications. The Court takes note of the dangers of restricting encryption described by many experts in the field.” Any requirement to build in backdoors to encryption...

Why not for the UK? It’s a founding member state.

The court has jurisdiction amongst the member states of the Council of Europe which includes almost every country in Europe except for Vatican City, Belarus and Russia.

elmicha ,

As I understand it, this European Court of Human Rights has nothing to do with the EU.

This article is about the international court of the Council of Europe (not of the European Union). For the EU’s judicial branch, see Court of Justice of the European Union. For the supreme court of the EU in matters of Union law, see European Court of Justice.

Everybody and their grandma is in the Council of Europe, except for Vatican City, Belarus and Russia. And the UK was a founding member of the Council of Europe, so their leaving the EU shouldn’t change a thing regarding this court.

Nova Launcher (7) works without problems on my Pixel 8 Pro. On my Xiaomi Mi 9 SE gestures with Nova were broken somehow, but now with the Pixel it’s fine again.

HTTP3 uses UDP, which is 6 years younger than TCP.

What about a small car trailer?

elmicha ,

When I got my Pixel 8 Pro it asked me if I want to convert the physical SIM from my Xiaomi 9 SE (and disable the old SIM). I didn’t have to take off the case and move the SIM, so I liked it.

I use Firefox on Linux, Windows (at work), and Android, and I like it.

Amazon's drone delivery program is the joke it always sounded like. (news.yahoo.com)

Only one item can be delivered at a time. It can’t weigh more than 5 pounds. It can’t be too big. It can’t be something breakable, since the drone drops it from 12 feet. The drones can’t fly when it is too hot or too windy or too rainy....

elmicha ,

In Germany we have a trial run of food delivery. A drone will bring a package with up to 4.5 kg to a “remote” village, then some students on e-bikes will bring it to the houses. Why they are using drones instead of one lorry a day is unknown.

    Don’t put it in /usr/bin, that’s where your package manager puts executables, not you. Other than that, do what you want. /usr/local/bin is good, or if it’s only for your user ~/bin, ~/local/bin or ~/.local/bin - I don’t care. Also just let your users decide where they want to put the script.

    The underscore is used to underline text in Markdown. If you want to display a real underscore like this: _, you have to escape it with a backslash. Some clients apparently interpret this rule even in plain links, and some don’t. If we use real Markdown links this should not happen.

    The second car here is a Tesla, and it still runs at the other side of the ford (but we don’t know for how long). But I agree, driving through rain should not damage a car.

    You don’t necessarily need a new computer, you could get a new SSD, install Linux there and dual boot for a while.

    Germany went from envy of the world to the worst-performing major developed economy. What happened? (apnews.com)

    For most of this century, Germany racked up one economic success after another, dominating global markets for high-end products like luxury cars and industrial machinery, selling so much to the rest of the world that half the economy ran on exports....

    In a demo the company gave the author this week, CEO Alex Kendall played footage taken from the camera on one of its Jaguar I-PACE vehicles, jumped to a random spot in the video, and started typing questions: “What’s the weather like?” The weather is cloudy. “What hazards do you see?” There is a school on the left....

    [half solved] How to force screen orientation on lomiri desktop

    I recently got a pinetab2, and I booted it into ubuntu-touch, running lomiri. But the screen orientation is the wrong way (portrait). I am not interested in autorotate, so how would I force the screen orientation of a mir-based desktop to landscape? If you need more info to help me, just ask for it....

    elmicha ,

    I searched for “lomiri rotate screen” and found this page.

    elmicha ,

    I found this list from last year. Some of these are more expensive than a small VPS, and I wonder what happens when the Pi needs a reset, or when you want to install a new OS.

    You could type the model of your phone and “audio adapter” or “3.5mm adapter” into a search engine. Maybe the phone already comes with an adapter.

    How to retain my evening optimism?

    Sometimes when I stay up late doing something creative I end up getting this very comforting feeling about the future. A sort of certainty that everything will work out in the end and that luck happy coincidences will always be on my side. If I had this sort of confidence throughout the day, I would live a much more pleasant and...

    elmicha ,

    In the 80s the German band Ideal made a song (“Herrscher”) about that feeling. Here are the translated lyrics:

    In the evening I am the ruler of the world - and you have to greet me! I the science fiction hero - and you lie at my feet! I own the stars, I have the power - you are happy to stand in my light; I am the one who ridicules the world and you all come to see me… … and you all come to see ME! …and you all come to see me!

    Only in the morning I feel uncomfortable… I’m afraid to leave the house… In the morning I’m small and weak… I’m in agony, I’m lying flat…

    In the evening, I rule the universe - and you in my shadow: You see my tribunal - and I will allow you! I own the stars, I have the power - you are glad to stand in my light! It is I who ridicule the world and you all come to see me…

    …and you all come to see me! …and you all come to see ME!

    Only in the morning when the spell fades I have to cry when a dog barks at me! In the morning I am… Small and weak… In agony, I’m lying flat…

    I think the little ant is called Discothyrea sexarticulata, and it got its name from a person named Borgmeier.

    You could try to contact your carrier, there might be some misconfiguration in the network.

    I’m not sure, but I think these USSD/GSM codes still work nowadays.

    Did you already try to remove the batteries, without making a bridge?

    There’s also !askelectronics, maybe someone there knows what to do.

    [Bug] After I read an article, sometimes I'm not brought back to the right place

    Sometimes when I read an article in the Webview and go back, I’m at the top of my Subscribed list instead of the post where I came from. In the History I can go back to the correct post, but when I go back from there I’m again at the top of the Subscribed list....

    Which app is this? It finds a lot. Although 3k subscribers everywhere look a bit suspicious.

    Here it is on the photographer’s Flickr. I think it says 6s exposure, so the photo doesn’t look like seen through the naked eye.

    You already pointed out that there is a free alternative, so anyone who says “nothing is free” is a bit mentally challenged.

    Phones should have 2 USB C ports

    One should be at the bottom one at the top. I understand space on the phone is a premium but a second port would make the phone so much more usable. Wired headphones, flash drives, camera modules, speaker modules, keyboards, even connection to a TV, all could be used while charging. It’s a shame it’s not a thing, USB is...

    elmicha ,

    Did you try different chargers as well?

    Maybe you want to report this in the Android bug tracker, if it has not been reported already?
