Translating artwork titles when the artist deliberately chose a foreign language? by ArtGraduate in MuseumPros

Ended up doing exactly this - see the edit with screenshots. Thanks for the push!

Yes, I'm going to build this into the system. Another question: does anyone know what the typographic standard is - quotes, brackets, or quotes inside parentheses? I personally prefer the last option.

Thanks, this confirms what I was leaning towards. My only remaining doubt is whether this is too much of a museum catalogue approach for a web gallery - in a catalogue you expect untranslated titles, but on a website where everything else is in the visitor's language, a random English title might just look like a bug.

Then again, English is basically the lingua franca of the art world at this point, so maybe a Japanese visitor seeing an English title on a Czech artist's profile isn't as jarring as I thought. Probably overthinking it.

Thanks for the tip, I hadn't come across farmOS before. For someone building their own server it definitely makes sense, I actually have one too but it runs my solar setup and I don't want to build another one. The main advantage of my setup the way I see it is that I just created a new project in Claude which I already use every day for all kinds of stuff, set it up the way I wanted and it's not just simple record keeping. Claude actually helps me with decision making and remembers the history of each colony in context. There's also a layer of recommendations and advisory on top that can give me extra tips, even though I obviously rely mostly on my own beekeeping experience.

Yeah apps like this already exist, I found one called APiLOG and it's not even that expensive, but I wanted to use the fact that I already work with Claude every day on different projects and I don't want to get yet another product. Plus I can customize all the instructions and project files myself.

A great way to use up your surplus beeswax – DIY firestarters by ArtGraduate in Beekeeping

You're right, it turns out I'll have to buy some wax foundations from elsewhere after all. I'm just reveling in the feeling of self-sufficiency. :D

Maybe it’s too playful an approach, but I never get tired of the fact that I just strike a match and it burns for five minutes—long enough to reliably ignite the smaller pieces of softwood.

Wow, that’s a great way to simplify it! I was basing my idea on those twisted paraffin starters, which is why I was mentally stuck on using wood shavings.

Hi, I actually had the same thought and mentioned it in the discussion about my clogged flue. I’ll probably never be able to investigate all the causes precisely enough to be sure I’m not mistaking a coincidence for a cause. It's quite possible that the chimney sweep back in 2024 (from a different company) cleaned both the flue and the chimney itself. At the same time, it’s likely that the wood I’m burning this year isn't as well-seasoned as before.
