Having a grimy, fingered little brother is always fun.
That’s a disturbing place for a comma 🤨🫣

One journalist writing a book doesn’t make something true. Chav is not a slur for the working class.
I’m a working class man from a working class area in the UK, and the vast majority of people here have never been described as chavs and never would.
- Comment on Are you able to access archive.org from where you are in the UK? 3 weeks ago:
No worries 🙂
I’ve just tried again on mobile data, and it’s working properly. The weather here has been a bit shit, so it might just have been that earlier 🤷🏻♂️

Working for me in South Wales on Plusnet, but not on mobile data from Smarty.

I got banned from a local music night.
Apparently ‘Come On Eileen’ was a song request…

That’s how I’ve currently got my phone and Fire tablet working, KOReader to Calibre over wifi, it’s the initial setup that I couldn’t remember.
I meant to check last night, but didn’t get a chance. More playing and tweaking needed tonight 😁
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday! What's up? 5 weeks ago:
I’ll have a look at that, thanks :)
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday! What's up? 5 weeks ago:
I’ll have a look at Calibre Web Automated, thanks :)
I’ve set up wireless access to my Windows Calibre library but I thought the device needed to be physically connected first? I’m realising that I might be thinking of a different program though.
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday! What's up? 5 weeks ago:
Not much with the server, as I’m finally finishing my switch to Mint on my main PC, now that I’ve finished the things I was stuck with Windows for.
I’m debating whether to put Calibre Web on my PC or media server, as the PC is easier to access, but the server is always on.
I’m also trying to figure out the best way to host a family Minecraft server. I’ve currently got two running at home and one remotely, but have managed to get a decent free tier Oracle server running too.
One of the Minecraft servers is staying local, as it’s just for the immediate family for our gaming sessions, but the other is for the kid’s cousins to join in too. Typically though, they haven’t wanted to play since I got the servers running, so I can’t tell which is best for them 🙈

I’ve been using Immich, but with my photos as external media. That lets me keep my directory structure too, but with the Immich features 🙂

- Comment on With a final screech, AOL's dial-up service goes silent 1 month ago:
Pfft, bloody kids… 😂
I should have a look, I’ve got a load of old floppies here, so might have one I’ve punched 🙂
- Comment on With a final screech, AOL's dial-up service goes silent 1 month ago:
You didn’t need to flip it, 3.5" readers could already read both sides, but the hole or lack of is what told them whether both sides were available. I’ve done it myself.
- Comment on With a final screech, AOL's dial-up service goes silent 1 month ago:
You could punch a hole in the corner and double the capacity 😁
- Comment on What are you guys using to sort and name music? 2 months ago:
Be careful with Mediamonkey. I’ve got it on my phone and PC, and my music is getting quieter and quieter on the phone. I think it’s something to do with the volume leveling on the Android version, but haven’t had a chance to figure it out yet.
I can put a song on full volume, and it’s quiet enough that it’s difficult to hear. I’ve tried the same tracks through youtube, and the volume is fine, so it’s not the phone speakers.
- Comment on The Browser Wasn’t Enough, Google Wants To Control All Your Software 2 months ago:
I wonder if the generic tablets with made up Asian sounding names that you see on the big marketplaces could work? They could have slightly larger or smaller screens if they’re cheaper than current phone screens, and could have Linux with something like Signal on them for calling.
They’d probably be lower quality to begin with, but could potentially get better if people start to buy them. They seem to have generic hardware, so might be able to offer the drivers and unlockable bootloaders too :)
- Comment on If copyright on a work expired immediately after death, would be that a bad or good idea? 2 months ago:
Bad. Copyright needs to be reformed, but this would be more likely to put money into the hands of rich people and corporations.
Imagine that I’ve just released a book series that’s more popular than Harry Potter and LOTR combined, and I get hit by a bus. What’s then stopping Disney or Warner Brothers etc from producing a set of movies with all the associated merch, and making a shit load of money, with not a penny going to my family? Not even giving them the opportunity to make enough to live on, never mind getting rich?
In that situation, depending on the contract, the publisher could even pulp the existing books and release identical copies without paying me or my family.

That’s brilliant, thank you :)
I’d actually forgotten to try the other method (ADHD strikes again!), so I’ll try them both out this week :)

That’s brilliant, thank you. I’ll try it tonight and see how it goes :)

Your account is less than a week old, and you’ve made about half a dozen posts around the same topic. Maybe try reading the answers to your questions and think about them.

No worries :)
Besides, it was the luck of the feed. The t-shirt post was only two posts above this one when I was browsing :)

It looks like you’ve replied to the wrong post. There’s a post in !asklemmy@lemmy.world about a Luigi t-shirt 👍
- Comment on What are some great retro games that I can play with my 5yo? 4 months ago:
Yeah, that’s the one. I’ve just checked the Wikipedia page for it, and it was rereleased on the Switch, so I’ve got it muddled up.
Apologies OP :)
- Comment on What are some great retro games that I can play with my 5yo? 4 months ago:
Sorry, yes, Meta Knight :)
- Comment on What are some great retro games that I can play with my 5yo? 4 months ago:
My kid used to love one of the Kirby games for the Wii, where the three of us could play at the same time. I can’t remember the name of it, but I’m pretty sure it was previously released for the SNES. It was the one with Armor Knight, if I’m remembering the character name correctly.

I thought I had disabled it, and I don’t have the app, but I can’t see any way to remove it from any of the settings mentioned in the email 🤷🏻♂️

I don’t use them either, but still got the email.
- Comment on Your household smart products must respect your privacy – including your air fryer 5 months ago:
People: Oh how cool, I can monitor my chicken nuggets from my couch ~5m away.
This would genuinely be handy for me though. I’ve got a nine year old, and have similar aged kids over quite regularly. If I’m dealing with the kids, I can’t always hear the air fryer finishing. A notification to the phone that’s in my pocket would be really helpful.
As you say though, there’s always shit tacked on :(
