- Comment on Pdf to odt/docx conversion has me weeping! 1 week ago:
Would an alternative be to simply edit the pdfs?
The german software FlexiPDF still allows you to buy a yearly version for a one off sum and allow you to use a free trial with watermark to check whether it works well enough for you before you buy.

Compatibility with Android usually means running DAVx⁵
f-droid.org/packages/at.bitfire.davdroid/A larger package than just CalDAV and CardDAV would be to look into Gromox with Grommunio-DAV.
It’s on my “I should check this out” list, so no personal experience.
github.com/grommunio/gromox
github.com/grommunio/grommunio-davThey also have support for Exchange ActiveSync through another optional addon

Followup; Not as cheap but there are M.2 to SATA cards available too, if your mb has no enoty PCIe but do have empty M.2 available.

Might also look at larger drives. When I compared 3.5’’ drives then the 24TB is cheaper per terabyte than both 16TB and 12TB. The ones I compared are listed below:
Seagate Exos X24 Harddisk ST24000NM002H 24TB 3.5" Serial Attached SCSI 2
Seagate Exos X24 Harddisk ST16000NM001H 16TB 3.5" Serial ATA-600 7200rpm
Seagate IronWolf Harddisk ST12000VN0008 12TB 3.5" SATA-600 7200rpm - Comment on What's your recommendation for a small NAS? 4 weeks ago:
That’s very true, I’d rather by an ASUS or other known brand N100 MB + an M.2 to SATA splitter too, if the price is equal (or better).
Last time I looked at it I was looking for hw for an opnsense router so I wanted the multiple intel i226 nics that most china-brands add on, so my mind went that way right away. - Comment on What's your recommendation for a small NAS? 4 weeks ago:
For the easy way I would just grab a Synology DS224+.
For the DIY something like Jonsbo N2 case + a N100/6xSATA mitx board from china should do the trick. The N100 is great for low power builds. - Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, that would’ve been more on point.

Waist-to-height ratio can help supplement the BMI measure without needing any special body fat scales or stuff like that.
It’s also a really simple one to remember. Keep your waist circumference below half your height.Our aim was to differentiate the screening potential of waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) and waist circumference (WC) for adult cardiometabolic risk in people of different nationalities and to compare both with body mass index (BMI).
[…]
Compared with BMI, WC improved discrimination of adverse outcomes by 3% (P < 0.05) and WHtR improved discrimination by 4-5% over BMI (P < 0.01). Most importantly, statistical analysis of the within-study difference in AUC showed WHtR to be significantly better than WC for diabetes, hypertension, CVD and all outcomes (P < 0.005) in men and women. For the first time, robust statistical evidence from studies involving more than 300 000 adults in several ethnic groups, shows the superiority of WHtR over WC and BMI for detecting cardiometabolic risk factors in both sexes.- researchgate.net/…/51820603_Waist-to-height_ratio…

- Comment on Are We All Becoming More Hostile Online? 1 month ago:
“Why are online discussions about politics more hostile than offline discussions?
A popular answer argues that human psychology is tailored for face-to-face interaction and people’s behavior therefore changes for the worse in impersonal online discussions…
Across eight studies, leveraging cross-national surveys and behavioral experiments (total N = 8,434), we test the mismatch hypothesis but only find evidence for limited selection effects.
Instead, hostile political discussions are the result of status-driven individuals who are drawn to politics and are equally hostile both online and offline.
Finally, we offer initial evidence that online discussions feel more hostile, in part, because the behavior of such individuals is more visible online than offline.”This fits with our understanding of personality disorders, which is that they are a small percentage of our society—around 10.5 percent, according to the recent DSM-5-TR.3
I try to avoid all politics online because it’s all raging and it’s honestly depressing that 10.5% can dominate a space like that.

Haven’t played the VN but I really enjoyed the anime. It’s the same story and my understanding is that while the VN explains things deeper and more thoroughly the anime is one of those adaptions that the source material (VN) fans like.

- Comment on 1 month ago:
The first three character classes to appear in D&D were the Fighting-Man (now called the fighter), Magic-User (now called the wizard) and Cleric. The first supplement introduced Thief (now called Rogue) and Paladin (as a Fighter sub class). The list grew a bit with f.e. druid and ranger but then with adnd 2e it was re-organized again with all character classes falling under the four traditional abstract archetypes: Warrior, Wizard, Priest, and Rogue.
So it came from the humble beginnings I’d say. It also makes the game more fun when you have your own specialty. Having two bards argue about who’s the better one at haggling does sound like a fun rp opportunity though.

I’ll take yournword for it, I’ve never used Lightroom.
Whenever I played around with Darktable it seems finding a tutorial to get the effect I wanted was just a minute of searching away, and there’s a ton of beginner tutorials available too.
www.darktable.org/2024/12/howto-in-5.0/But then I was the kid that rtfm the game manual on my way home from the store and love dense UIs as an adult. :)

My understanding is that a lot of tech debt has been removed with the release of 3.0 and I’m hopeful it will make future updates simpler and faster. :)

With GIMP 3.0 it’s a bit better at least, they’ve finally added non-destructive editing:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfaq-Cm1ZkAFull changelog here:
www.gimp.org/release-notes/gimp-3.0.htmlI’d dare say that unless you’ve already learnt Photoshop (and have to unlearn it) then Darktable+GIMP works fine for home photo editing.
If you’re used to Photoshop and your skills with it is what puts bread on the table… then I completely understand not switching tools. - Comment on Vaultwarden selfhosting, or bitwarden service? 1 month ago:
On the other hand, using bitwarden might require some level of trust. How much should I trust the company to use the free service?
How do I know if my passwords would be safe, not being exposed to the wide net?Wouldn’t these questions be as true of the VPS service that hosts Vaultwarden as of Bitwarden?
If my internet at home was better I would be selfhosting Vaultwarden and use a full vpn on my laptop/phone/tablet when leaving the house.
Now I’m using KeepassXC with my home pc as the true source and syncing copies of the database to my laptop and phone.
