I_Miss_Daniel@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are some examples of 'common sense' which are nonsense?English5·3 months agoHehe ok I’ll wear those down votes. I didn’t understand the reference as I heard it first on The Two Ronnies as ‘a bird in the hand is worth two in the shepherd’s bush’ which I think think might be a carry-on reference.
I didn’t see why l would want a bird in my hand in the first place.
PS - what happened to your D key?

Quadrupeds can run on the front paws better than bipeds, so the sysadmin should win.
I_Miss_Daniel@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•Which Linux tool or command is surprisingly simple, powerful, and yet underrated?"English5·4 months agoddrescue (or gddrescue) is a great version if you have a sick drive. It’ll try to copy the good areas first then go back to hammer on the sick areas.
Not perfect as it doesn’t know about the file system so it tries to copy the entire surface, but generally a good tool.
Naah he buggered off on a plane to Spain back in the 70s.
I think I need a new username. This one’s too confusing. I do kinda feel like I’m missing a brother I never had though.
Left reddit for /kbin.
/kbin slowly decomposed.
Landed on Voyager as it was similar to RiF.
I_Miss_Daniel@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What other fediverse apps do you use?English1·4 months agoAlso Voyager.
Wish it had a ‘forward’ button for when you accidentally go back one step too far. RiF had that.
I_Miss_Daniel@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•Which default software do you replace after you install your distro?English6·4 months agoRustdesk, so I can remote into my main computer and the others I manage.
PWAs For Firefox.
And that’s about it.
I use Debian BTW. (Was on Fedora but killed it when there were sound issues, turned out to Rustdesk at fault. Can’t do Mint as it boots to black screen.)
Chrome OS Flex seems OK. Not sure how it manages printers.
I_Miss_Daniel@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why aren't there 1.5v AA rechargeable batteries?English7·4 months agoThe light coloured Eneloop ones seem to have the lowest self discharge. I use them in Arlec PIR sensors without issue.
I_Miss_Daniel@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What item you use frequently would you be least surprised to learn is secretly bad for you?English9·5 months agoI bought a uv tooth brush sterilizer. Not sure if it’s doing anything useful but it’s a colourful addition to the bathroom.
I_Miss_Daniel@lemmy.worldto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Results in Duckduckgo have changed?English11·5 months agoThe search engine built into qbittorrent is good as well.
I_Miss_Daniel@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What pieces of software can you recommend that's free, efficient and does not bullshit around?English6·5 months agoDdrescue
Hard to beat for working with dying drives, although it’s a bit tricky to get it to just do used data areas instead of the whole drive.
I_Miss_Daniel@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What pieces of software can you recommend that's free, efficient and does not bullshit around?English1·5 months agoIs that because it indexes the contents of files? (or pretends to.)
Fedora.
Most of the others either booted to a black screen after install, or the track pad was somewhat uncontrollable when scrolling. Older Asus laptop with separate GPU.
I_Miss_Daniel@lemmy.worldto Memes@lemmy.ml•If it gets done, it gets done. Even if I don't remember doing it.English3·6 months agoSee, I said someone moved that satellite to vacuum behind it.
Hehe. On mine the cruise, high beam and fog light indicators don’t dim with the rest of the dash board.
Luckily they’re all along the top row in the centre, so I drape the glasses cleaning cloth over the dashboard to form a little curtain.
I’m in a rural area.
