A "natural language query" search engine is what I need sometimes.

Edit: directly reachable with the !ai bang

Hi, and thanks for the hard work.

Sometimes I discover an instance a bit specific, like the jlai.lu one who's centered around French speaking communities. Rather than going to the info page of the instance and then either check and click communities listed, or selecting "browse as guest", I would love to have a " browse instance" button like we can for a single community.

It would improve discovery and engagement I think, allow for a wider reach across servers.

What do you think, [email protected] ?

...and to provide cutting-edge, thought provoking sci-fi

Not a shill, I was looking for Peter Watts' The freeze-frame revolution, which drove me straight to its publisher, Tachyon.

Verified DRM-free buy!

Bonsoir.

Comme dit le titre ; je me suis assis sur ma Clara HD et, bon, j'en profite pour voir si je peux faire un peu plus local, un peu moins globalo-hégémonique.

Par rapport à la kindle paperwhite, la Clara HD est lente, peu réactive. Sa gestion de la luminosité par glisser-le-long-du-bord marche particulièrement mal, presque jamais du premier coup. Mais elle comprend un dictionnaire intégré, est compatible avec Calibre et la définition d'écran n'est pas mauvaise (300pp). Le format 6po me convient parfaitement, il rentre dans une poche de pantalon (ce qui permet de s'assoir dessus, argh c'est la deuxième fois)

Je lis surtout de la s-f, pas de BD/Comics etc et donc utilise Calibre pour gérer ma bibliothèque.

D'avance merci si vous avez des retours ou recommandations ; pour l'instant seul le modèle de base, vivlio light, est dispo à 130€.

Hey Enthusiasts.

I'm being having my arm more or less twisted to force me to buy a macbook. Granted, with brands like lenovo shutting down on urp and arch Linux these days having a list of show-stopping issues longer than your phone's scrolling ability, uh, why not. Meh tho.

Local corner shop still has 'pro in M1pro/16GB ram or M2"basic"/8GB ram for not unaffordable prices. Single Core benchmarks puts the M2 at maybe 10% better than M1pro, but Multicore and "Metal" (???) says M1pro is better than M2 basic, sometimes by a lot (geekbench).

I don't understand benchmarking, especially with such variation in results.

I need a machine able to play 12 tracks of 16bits .wav files + some effects (Ardour) and / or output video in 1080p on 2 outputs + some gimmickery (Isadora). Or you know, run qlab like everybody else, with fades and envelopes and stuff.

Which one should I buy?

I thought that the will to act, the steps taken to face the issue, would somehow support the combat against my addiction.

It does not.

Since I took that appointment at the addiction clinic, since I had my first meeting with a very sweet nurse who was 1000% more receptive and convincing than the former "mental health professionals" I've consulted with, I had hoped confronting my issues & deciding to address them would be a first step into helping myself. A first step into reducing, even if minimally, my daily intake. Or make me at ease with the concept of living without a bottle hidden in my rucksack.

It does not.

I'm more stressed out. I'm in constant panic attacks. I'm physically sick if I don't have access to the stuff. And I'm feeling like I drink twice as much. Which I'm probably doing.

I know it's a process, a life-changing one. I know there'll be a grief period; she told me. She told me I'm the only one able to do it. No magic, no technology. Just me.

Just me and that liquid shit.

Transitioning to PM (and generally speaking, to Proton For Everything) from Gmail, I was following the manual when I realised that PM wanted to replace my privately-owned, with mailbox service included, mail address.

What I've been doing for 15 years was hide a gmail adress behind my own domain name (quality of apps, quantity of storage, general user friendliness...); people would still see me as [email protected], but I had the convenience of that google service while writing"as" me@me.

It also offered me a layer of safety, since downtime does happen, and hopping to the poor roundcube webmail interface of my hosting company allowed me to keep business as usual. Believe it or not, google has failed more often than that regional service provider. lol.

Now to the question: Am I right to understand PM will dutifully catch all emails to [email protected], the DNS settings will kill my old-school IMAP mailbox to push them towards [email protected], and I will have to commit to trust Proton 99.95% (their current SLA for customers like me)?

Will I loose that last line of defense, Roundcube Webmail straight from my private provider?

Thanks is advance. For obvious reasons, I'm not on twitter, reddit & all that.
