@welshpixie@mastodon.art (£30 being equivalent to about 600 ZAR/Rand?)
@welshpixie@mastodon.art Ah. I once realised I’d save £30 by using my bank’s currency conversion rate instead of PayPal’s conversion rate too. PayPal really likes to take people’s money, I always have to be careful when I use it. :/ Terrible app
@welshpixie@mastodon.art Huh. For me the friends and family was free and the goods gets extra fees
@hansvurst @Gargron @katnjiapus@toot.site I prefer “toot” as well… I don’t think I’m ever going to stop using it
@spicytamazon @PastaThief Gosh, I hope it’s delicious and everything goes well! :BlobhajTransPrideHeart:
@theporgreview Could I please ask what caused this change? Seeing what tech companies might actually do with your data?
Looking forward to having a lovely meal out today! 😊
What does “favouriting” a post do on the fediverse? It doesn’t seem to put the post on other people’s timelines like boosting, so what is the purpose?
@CrustyBumbler@mstdn.social Oh wow, thank you so much for this! And yeah, hah, the Iberital MC2 was the exact grinder I was torn between but it seemed like a UX nightmare, plus I noticed how grubby they got. The final thing that swayed my decision was the fact the Sage was on a big sale, so I got a brand new one for the price of a used MC2. I think I’m glad after what you’ve said and can’t wait to try it out! 😊
@katnjiapus@toot.site @Amber@toot.site Thank you for sharing everything! I’ve been pretty spoilt with systemd & NetworkManager everything. 😊
@katnjiapus@toot.site @Amber@toot.site kind of feels like there are just loads of complicated front ends that all depend on one very simple and old project…
Reminds me of https://xkcd.com/2347/
@katnjiapus@toot.site @Amber@toot.site now I’ve gotta see if there was ever a wep_supplicant…
@Amber@toot.site @katnjiapus@toot.site Then why doesn’t systemd also handle WiFi then? :blobcatthinking:
@binarytango @forever@fedi.nullob.si wow, you clearly over-estimate my age, huh. I barely saw the tail end of the end of modern forums like Discourse, I don’t even know what BBS was
@katnjiapus@toot.site @Amber@toot.site At the risk of feeling silly, does wpa_supplicant manage Ethernet connections too?
Because NetworkManager manages my Ethernet, WiFi and VPNs, but wpa_supplicant only has wpa in the name which makes me think of WPA2/3 the security thingo for WiFi so is there a different software stack that manages Ethernet or…?
@CrustyBumbler@mstdn.social I’ve heard a lot of mixed reviews so I’ve been scared if I’m honest! It’s the only electric grinder I can afford that’s apparently espresso capable but I’ve also heard of a lot of people dunking on it, saying it’s overrated and there are better grinders for more money etc.
Do you use it for espresso? Either way, I’d love to hear more! Any tips for when it gets delivered? 😊
@ssafar @hexylena @luna@mastodon.lol Yeah, where I’m from the buses recently switched from *exact change* of £2.40 to instead just accepting contactless card payments / optional top-up smart card
It automatically charges you at the end of the day with the cheapest possible ticket you could’ve bought for your day’s journeys
@charlotte Oh dear, that’s not good. Do you have the default file descriptor limit or did you raise it?
@spicytamazon @shyra The BTRFS driver that ReactOS made for Windows is actually pretty cool! 😎
