#Fedibrain question for people who use transfer hoists, or assist someone who does:

I'm looking into how transfer hoists should be mapped in OpenStreetMap, and I'd really like input from people with firsthand experience.

What information do you need to know beforehand to tell whether a hoist will work for you?

What differences between hoists can make one usable or unusable?

And what information would actually be useful to have on a map when planning a trip somewhere?

Er der tilfældigvis en #elektriker eller lign her der kan give råd:
På den frivillig drevne biograf i Ringsted sidder et meget gammelt neonskilt. Jeg har sat et 25A Zigbee relæ på, selve relæ er mekanisk og det kan sagtens klare strømmen. Jeg mistænker dog at transienter ved tænd/sluk nulstiller og til sidst tager livet af elektronikken. Sidder der en kondensator (fasekompensering?), som kan være tørret ud? Eller skal vi have fat i et støj/transient filter?

Eg er med eit bygdalag som driv eit ubemanna sørvisbygg med dusj, vaskemaskin oa., og som til no har brukt Paypal for å ta betalt frå utanlandske turistar. Men Paypal er noko drit. Kva bruker de andre? #reiseliv

Our local town council (western Norway) operates an unstaffed service building for tourists, with a shower, washing machine etc. Until now, we have used Paypal to accept payments from foreign guests, but Paypal s*cks. Any ideas/alternatives? #fedibrain

Baking question for fedibrain.

I am cooking a recipe for instant baguette bread that involves 450 g bread flour, 360 ml water, 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp yeast. Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl, add the water, lightly incorporate for maybe 5 mins with the back of a spoon, cover, and leave to rise overnight. Then gently divide and shape (no flattening etc), and bake for 30 minutes on fan at 200° C.

It makes nice French bread.

Question: Where's the kneading? I thought kneading was an essential step in bread making?

Dear #fedibrain, if I want to use a picture from #Nextcloud as a group icon in a #signal chat on #android, how can I accomplish that?
The only way around Androids stupid security model I found, is to share it to a signal chat, and save it to the telephone from within that chat.

So, boosts.

In a world without algorithms, we rely on boosts to get 'out there'. And when I see something I like, I want to share it.

However -- when others see something they like, they share it too. I get annoyed when I see the same post for the 19th time. Then I worry that I annoy people by sharing.

Is there any way to turn off seeing the same post more than once? That way, knowing that it's possible, I'd worry less about sharing.

Is there any way of looking up which band t-shirt designs were available in/before 2006? I'm specifically interested in Gojira t-shirts from that period. I can find plenty of Gojira t-shirt designs, but I have no idea what year they were each released in.

Ok. I need a #fedibrain source piece of info.

I'm sending a message from Alice to Quincy. Alice knows Bob, and Barry, and Belinda, so she asks them to pass it along. She doesn't know if any of them know Quincy, although she's got a high confidence that she'll run across someone.

Ah, and she just ran into Fred. Did he know Quincy? Nope, but he's willing to pass on the message to his friends Gina, Gary, and Greg. Dunno if they know Quincy.

Now somewhere along the way there is a path from Alice to Quincy, she just doesn't know who knows who, so she just asks everyone she runs into.

At a certain point, this is going to cause Eunice to have a nervous breakdown because 47 people have asked her to pass on messages. So to minimize this, Alice will hand out messages, but they'll only have a shelf life of 5 handoffs. Or 10, or whatever. They also get thrown away after a week.

Where my question is falls asking the reason of what an I talking about? This feels like a graph or some type of n-tree, and yes a tree is a graph, let's just accept the special case.

Additionally, is there a paper or 10 that I could read up on this?

Please and thanks,
Oatmeal

Need some #fedibrain or #fedihelp. I'm looking for a online service similar to slido.
For our fire department I want its members to suggest topics for training and others can upvote them. At the end I want to understand which topics are the most interesting so we can adjust training schedule.
Any hints?

What's a good alternative to Pinterest that doesn't have high switching costs? (i.e. not likely to be enshittified). I want to make a mood board with my good friend about our common hobby.

Ok, #fedibrain , I need some help. I'm recovering all my mp3s from a crashed drive. So far, so good, and I'll survive if some of them have turned to garbage noise. There's thousands, I'll survive.

However, they're all getting dumped in general collective directories.

I need to find an app on Windows that will try to organize them into some reasonable directory structure. I've been usually good about providing ID data, and my filenames were identifiable, like Ben_Folds_Brick.mp3, though a quick peek shows it becoming something like Ben_Folds_Brick_0025852.mp3 🤔

So, if anyone can help out, please let me know. Yes, I have Linux boxes, a couple of Macs, even a Chromebook or two, but I don't want to hear about an app on any of those. For this use case, the only acceptable environment for this task is Windows.

I bought this stud finder but it seems to detect a lot more metal/wires in my walls than I expected. I played around with it a bit, and sometimes a patch of wall sets it off, sometimes that same patch seems fine. Sometimes a patch sets it off unless I touch the wall at the same time (this also happens with my bookshelves which certainly shouldn’t have any wires in them).

Anyone know what might be going on? Can I even trust this device, or am I using it wrong?

#fedibrain This is a question about an annoying client for a questionable server, but bear with me. One of my kids was messing about with Schildichat on Ubuntu 22.04 and somehow zoomed the window to unreadably tiny. They think they were using ctrl-minus. They cannot undo it. Ctrl-plus has no effect. Nor does ctrl-r, shift-ctrl-plus, or anything else I could think of. It persists across programme termination, reboots, etc.

Question 1: is there an obvious way to fix this with keystrokes?

If not, then...

Question 2: Schildichat is an ElectronJS glorblet, or whatever it's properly called when you forcefeed users all that extra guff. I hunted around in .config/SchildiChat to see if I could find where it stored persistent values for screen magnification but couldn't find anything obvious, or anything that I could edit with useful results. If there is one among you with the cursed knowledge of that webapp framework...where might I look?

And yes, we are trying to migrate away from matrix. As an #actuallyAutistic family various among us often go mute and need to use a chat server to communicate. We moved from Mattermost to Matrix several years ago, and I will probably just go back to XMPP rather than deal with self-hosting "new" matrix. But I haven't got time to do that migration right now.

#fedibrain This is a question about an annoying client for a questionable server, but bear with me. One of my kids was messing about with Schildichat on Ubuntu 22.04 and somehow zoomed the window to unreadably tiny. They think they were using ctrl-minus. They cannot undo it. Ctrl-plus has no effect. Nor does ctrl-r, shift-ctrl-plus, or anything else I could think of. It persists across programme termination, reboots, etc.

Question 1: is there an obvious way to fix this with keystrokes?

If not, then...

Question 2: Schildichat is an ElectronJS glorblet, or whatever it's properly called when you forcefeed users all that extra guff. I hunted around in .config/SchildiChat to see if I could find where it stored persistent values for screen magnification but couldn't find anything obvious, or anything that I could edit with useful results.
