  1. Vai kādam no jums ir izdevies palaist eparaksta (precizējums: tieši ID kartes) autorizāciju ar Firefox-veidīgu pārlūku (man ir Waterfox) un Linux? Man eParakstītāja programma iet, Vivaldi autorizācija iet, līdz ar to minu, ka problēma ir pārlūkā, nevis middleware utt. Internetā atradu viedokli, ka nebūs neesošā NPAPI atbalsta dēļ, bet tas ir drausmīgi sen, man šķiet, ka strādāja nesenāk... un vai tad Chromium ir NPAPI?... #AdviceWelcome #Firefox #EParaksts

  2. On the plus side this ( debian.org/doc/manuals/securin ) Securing Debian Manual isn't slop.

    On the downside it is from 2012 and I have no idea how much has changed since then.

    (Trying to set up an internet accessible file server for the first time)

  3. I have a livebearer tank

    I raise guppies and mollies, I've got one muppy (who isn't supposed to exist [grumblegrumble]). I've been doing a lot of looking online about poecillia, the livebearer family of fishes.I have an ideal fish I'm trying to breed. Small like an endler, with lyretail genes from mollies and the sunset eclipse pattern I've got. I know. I'm not a god, I can't just make an animal. But if I toss a few (wild type) male endlers in there who can say what happens with the genes. I've seen claims of second […]

  4. Is there a better way to remap audio inputs and outputs then qpwgraph? It is just PAINFUL as everything places randomly, I need to drag left and right inputs one by one, and to diconnect a node I need to click every input to it and disconnect them one by one

    (I want to be able to send input to both mine and @WizardOfDocs 's headphones at the same time, and toggle that on and off easily.)

  5. CW: please boost i need advice

    how do I find a tech job with no work experience, no high school diploma (and by extension no university) and social anxiety

    retail jobs or any jobs that require constant face to face communication and interaction with people scare me, as strangers make me feel uncomfortable

    ideally id like to work somewhere that makes me use .NET as thats what i have experience with

  6. Some of you must be electric #kettle people. Is there anything I should know about joining the #ElectricKettle ranks? Is the 1.7L Ambiano (#Aldi brand) kettle US$18.99 sufficient or do I need to be choosier? It feels pretty cheap but I just need it for a few mugs of #tea a day. It includes the basic safety features and seems to do its job just fine - I just don't know if there are any "you'll hate yourself if you don't get one that does/includes X" features for which I should be looking.

  7. [🌧️ advice welcomed, please 🌧️]

    So, the back of the yard is flooded.

    My house is totally dry and fine.

    It's about 5 to 6 inches deep in some spots. I'm going to have to go out and get a better look tomorrow.

    I think I'll have to do something (?fuck knows what) about the standing water because of the risk of mosquitoes breeding in it.

    (also, all this water fell in about 2 hours)

    (also also, all the doors and windows are closed at the moment. I have the fan and the air conditioner on.. AND I CAN HEAR THE FRONGS OVER THE TOP OF IT, THAT'S HOW LOUD THEY ARE 😆🐸)

  8. How hard is it for someone with little to no patience or experience to paint window frames for a 3 bedroom home once double glazing is installed? #homeDIY #advicewelcome

  9. @sinituulia @valhalla Hi! You seem to know stuff about handsewing, maybe you can give me advice, how seam for fabric in picture should be strengthened properly? It is a stright back seam of a store-brought linen chemise that I have already unpicked to redo. I wore it mostly under corset, and this pulled out part happened somwhere around my booty. I can afford to cut some half cm away, and I know how to do seamfinishing like in Bernadette's pirate shirt, but will it be enough?

    What would you advise as date format —for a server rendered fallback that would be replaced by relative date ("2 days ago" for example) when JavaScript is available?

    I would like to have:
    1. As little as layout reflow possible
    2. An actually decent initial format (in case it's not replaced)

  11. Hihi fedi~ a question~ I'll be moving to the US in about a month or two (waiting for my visa), specifically Urbana in Illinois! Uhhmm, could I ask any helpful fedizen to give me advice about finding trans-friendly accommodation there? I haven't rented in the US before so I'm a little lost about some things~

    First question, Should I try and book a place to stay in advance, like now, or should I wait until I get there and stay at a hotel for the first week and then go and visit?

    My worry is that it's going to be hard to assess whether a place is good to stay in from just pictures, so visiting in person might be ideal?

    Related question, will I face difficulties finding a place to rent given that I haven't rented in the US before? Are there any kinds of documents that landlords will need? like do they expect references or something? my previous landlord is in SG, and the one before that was the Uni, so I don't know if that counts?

    Second question, how difficult do you think it'll be to find a trans-friendly place to stay? are there any signs to look out for?

    Third question, are there any particular areas or parts of Urbana to avoid? Ill be working at UIUC and I can't drive, so I'm hoping for something not too far from the uni, maybe within cycling distance I guess~

    Fourth question, what platforms would yall recommend for looking for accomodation? any apps/sites to focus on/avoid?

    Fifth question, any kind of things in renting contracts to look out for? like any clauses that might be predatory or something that I should keep an eye out for?

    reboosts for visibility welcomed!

  12. She’s been here a few days now, and is less keyed up in general.

    Her ear is bothering her less after repeated cleanings.

    I got a bag of the food she’s used to from her previous people, and she’s eaten today without it coming back up (what a fucking relief THAT is, I was afraid emergency surgery was in our near future). The boys do not care what they eat in the slightest, so if she needs *that* food I’ll just switch.
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  13. New mission for new dog: Find a muzzle that fits well, acclimate her to it, and then try interactions again. A muzzle, plus a fairly low excitement situation, and definitely not any extended chew treats involved… I think it may work.

    There’s zero growling when the boys pass her kennel and they sniff each other, and their kennels are all right up next to each other, so they’re all familiar with everyone’s smells by now.

  14. Also now need to figure out what to do about this rip in my bar tape that goes right through. It happened when I dropped my bike on some gravel. The current bar tape is barely worn except for the rip and I would rather not have to re-do it ☹️ #BikeMaintenance #BikeMastodon #CyclingMastodon #cycling #cyclists #AdviceWelcome

  15. Ok, Fedi.
    Wo bekomme ich aktuell einen neuen PC der Minecraft auf High Performance und für eine lange Weile auch Variety Games mit guter Performance unterstützt?
    Muss bezahlbar bleiben, aber was ist da realistisch?
    Hab so gar keinen Plan vom Markt erstmal.

  16. Question: The motherboard I'm looking at has this RAM on it's QVL list: gskill.com/product/165/390/166

    Does that mean this will also work? gskill.com/product/165/393/166

    The specs are the same, but one is RGB, and the other isn't. Do I need to pay extra for the gamer lights for it to work?

  17. I dropped off a mower to be fixed and they shop has left it sitting outside untouched for over a year. I call and they say they'll look into it but don't.

    What should I do? There was no contract or anything but its probably in worse condition than when I dropped it off.

  18. Advice wanted - photography for shop

    I have an Etsy shop (UnwoundBobbin.etsy.com) and in the coming year I want to make it easier to get pictures on a neutral background for the shop. Does anyone have a set up they recommend? I’m looking at spending no more than £50.

    Ideally I need something collapsible. I was looking at the photo cube things on Amazon but there’s so much crap there now I don’t know if any are good.

  19. UGH the via tests OK for continuity. It's the D29 data line. Maybe something's leaving it floating and touching it gives it a nudge. UGHHHHH. Hooray for schematics I suppose 😐

  20. Mastodon was my first introduction to the fediverse, so I just went with the starter instance. Now that it's been a few weeks and I'm becoming accustomed to how things work, I'm wondering if it's time for me to seek out something more specific. Any thoughts, #fediverse? Should I migrate?
