Elaborately engraved suits of armor, Styrian Armory, Austria, ~16th century AD
  • I saw this post and was really confused as to why I know these statues.

    Graz is wonderful! I've studied there for years and the cultural display of just this place (which is the armoury in the city center 'landeszeughaus') is amazing. It also houses one of the best preserved traditional horse-armour sets.

    For anyone who is interested in graz and/or history, once a year graz has a 'day of the museums' https://www.graz.net/internationaler-museumstag-29588/ where you can enter all ~18 museums in graz for a very cheap price for a day. Realistically you will never get through them all without sprinting though

  • Obsidian can't handle several thousand of notes
  • This is expected behaviour though?

    Realisticly, it would be beyond wrong to have every file in ram at all times, or process's every file to any extend when it is not in immediate use or you are in a search field or link/back link Dialog.

    Try copy pasting 2GB of data into your vim and you will find it takes quite a while for everything to be pasted. When you drag and drop via the UI in obsidian and you do that with thousands of files, then this is not very surprising to slow your application. Assuming obsidian wants to make the files available as soon as possible, I presume it parses/indexes them immediately one after the other instead of one big block.

    My vault is about 1.5k files, all interlinked in some way (ignoring larger pictures or PDFs). Making a new vault and drag and dropping all of them in lags quite a bit for quite a while, but once everything is loaded its fine.

  • How to deal with post-work exhaustion?
  • I work in IT, so a desk job with almost no movement. If I wasn't doing sports I'd be crashing hard as well.

    I always feel like, if someone with a sporty routine (lets say gym once or twice a week for 2h) stops doing sports for a longer period of time (2 weeks) they will feel generally pissed. But it never feels like sports are the reason. Then you do sports again and suddenly feel much better, at which point you face palm and think 'of course!'.

    And it feels like that every fucking time. It's stupid but knowing it helps.

  • How to host a userbase

    Hi!

    I am an embedded systems guy so this is new territory for me. I want to be able to host my own userbase somewhere, mainly I just want to figure out how they work. But all i can find are closed solutions that have some amount of pricing or are obscured. I also feel like it'd be wrong to re-write something like this myself.

    I've tried googling around a bit but keep getting similar results so I am assuming I am asking the wrong question. What I want: Ideally some kind of dockerized setup where a user can navigate to a website to create an account, which I can then query through php or some other API. Stuff like password reset or stripe would be nice but is secondary as that can most likely be added another way.

    I found stuff like usernbase which seems interesting and even includes something like subscriptions, but I'd like to self host it and not rely on something like the AWS.

    Ideally I want to get OAUTH2.0 to work as well, to learn how exactly it works.

    Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

    What all do you use markdown for? Applications and use cases?
  • Justin general really. I just remember things way bette4 now that I structurally write them down and document them in a fun way. I used to just write stuff on paper and then trash it when done. I still remember what I wrote,but it's way worse than adding pics, underlining, thinking about formatting, making callouts.

    Also making tables for my taxes and then using a plugin to auto calculate what I owe to whom is amazing.

  • What book(s) are you currently reading or listening? July 01
  • The heroes by Joe Abercrombie By all means not a nieche author. Goddamn he makes the fights seem so tense and exciting, with just enough involvement/information for you to not pick sides before the fight happens, but still be very excited about the outcome.

  • New technical framework for the European Digital Identity Wallet (eIDAS) reveals severe shortcomings, threatening user privacy and contradicting the regulation's intent, rights group says
  • I would be very worried if this was 'final, and now we will do it as written' but it seems to be just another iteration.the critique is great and I just hope they listen.

    I am not shocked, but i'd save disappointed for when they try to do it and noone uses it because of these reasons.

  • Release Heliboard 2.0 · Helium314/HeliBoard
  • Yeah there are a few choices, but none of those are qwertz with dedicated öäü, which the usual German keyboards have. The only one that comes close is the american layout. That one has the buttons but they are assigned to [ ] etc

  • Parenting in an uncertain future, solidarity? Feels?
  • You seem very nice and thoughtful; it's nice to hear about parents with a brain inside their skull that think ahead and love the moment.

    Anyways, I actually don't have much to add as I am at a very different path of life, but I really like your thoughtfulness.

    You also remind me of this comic: good-mom-but-she-forgot-cover-up-the-tatoos-v0-f1cww4acrfw91

    Which I envy, cuz I'd wanne be that way.

  • Home entertainment with NAS?

    Hi! My goal: I want to set up a beamer projector in my flat and connect that to some kind of 'always on' machine with which I can stream (currently Netflix a bit but that really is not a priority as I am thinking of cancelling it) but would also like it to be a torrent client (I have a VPN) to download some media. Though something like popcorn time would also be nice, though that's also something that I would only use behind a vpn for obvious reasons.

    I have a pi5 or and some older NUCs hanging around that run well with Ubuntu. I know that something like kodi does not play nice with Netflix (iirc because of drm).

    Should I use the pi? Or better an Ubuntu and do the power management best I can myself?

    What would you guys say is a good way to try this out?

    Edit: TIL I thought beamer is a word that German borrows from English, so I assumed it's the same. Nope, in German 'beamer' has very weird roots (https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Videoprojektor) so Germany stole an English word 'beam' but it meant project... Weird

    Opera workspaces in firefox

    Hi! With all the stuff going on I want to switch to Firefox. I got incredibly used to the sidebar in Opera Though and really want something similar.

    E.g. Having WhatsApp in the side tab and not in the header tabs (so I can't close it accidently) or different t workspaces for different projects has proven incredibly helpful. Also on opera I can open 2 Windows with the same workspace and get different tabs making it really useful for programming.

    I've looked around for plugin like that but could only find one where the tabs were also shown on the side and the top.

    If anyone could help me here that would be great, I am really on the fence of switching to way land and ff on my machine.
