  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

  6. 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.

  11. 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 […]

  16. 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.)

  26. Entering the most dangerous phase of the day: fixing to go. Today I am fixing to go to work. So snails pace is to be praised. I have to manage the following tasks:
    Make my lunch.
    Get and pack the right notes. Shower and dress.
    Find car keys and purse.
    Put in hearing aids.
    Get in car.
    Go back in house to collect forgotten item (choose from list above or any other random thing).
    Get back in car.
    Leave.
    How hard can it be? Right? #ADHD #AdviceWelcome (if amusing). #auADHD

  27. 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.

    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 😆🐸)

  41. @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)

  51. 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?

  54. 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!

  56. I am not sure what to do about her pooping and I don’t feel like I should set up a litter box and start treating her like my own, but I’m worried when she goes nowhere else and is just eating the occasional treats I give her. Nobody in my immediate vicinity knows who she belongs to though they’ve seen her in the neighborhood before.

    Any thoughts on how I should proceed would be welcome. 2/2 #advicewelcome #cats

  60. There’s a neighborhood cat who has taken to spending almost the entire day on my porch. I give her some treats and water but she is obviously well fed and well groomed and so I am assuming she has an actual home. But she doesn’t seem interested in going anywhere else until sometime overnight. She sleeps and hangs out near me when I sit outside. She nips a little when she bores of being pet or when she demands more petting. She also pooped on my porch the last 2 nights. 1/2 #advicewelcome #cats
