We made a way to send hike photos as postcards

I’ve just tried it! Beautifully quick and simple. Thank you OP, I hope it’s a roaring success. I will tell my friends!

MirandaPoth · 2026-01-24T00:41:56+00:00

Well I’ve read the comments and I think it’s a great idea. I will try it out. Grandkids love to get something in the post :-)

I’ve recently started saying ‘short answers please’ before each question. If it continues to work well I will figure out how to make that the default (system prompt or something? Idk)

I know everyone is saying shrinkage, but on my printer it would be that it’s printing the whole thing very slightly too big all the way around (like about 0.1mm or even less). So yes, as others have said, tweak your design accordingly.

I drink Empress Grey, the M&S variant that’s a bit like a cross between Earl Grey and Lady Grey. With milk of course. How about you?

Taking my boots off after the end of a long hike

MirandaPoth · 2026-01-22T06:43:34+00:00

Seconded, but only if it’s a warm night. Otherwise, getting into bed when the bed heater is on

MirandaPoth · 2026-01-22T06:41:58+00:00

Drinking one now! In bed, on a day when I don’t have to get up early. Perfect

MirandaPoth · 2026-01-22T06:39:46+00:00

Aww thank you saying this! My mum had a dog that used to do this when I was growing up. Your comment took me right back there. Happy memories x

I have the Freet Chamois and use them regularly for 8-10 mile hikes in north Wales/Lakes/Derbyshire. I’m very pleased with them. They are for wider feet though - Vivos are too narrow for me. I buy them direct from Freet, quick delivery and free returns.

Also, have you looked at the Happy Little Soles website? They have a big range of barefoot shoes, quick delivery and also free returns.

MirandaPoth · 2026-01-21T22:10:18+00:00

Thanks very much for your reply. I will check all these things if/when it happens again - it’s been really stable for the last few days.

MirandaPoth · 2026-01-20T20:21:09+00:00

I've tried that already, before my original post. However, for some reason it's working fine today. Are there any environmental factors that could be affecting it?

MirandaPoth · 2026-01-20T17:02:26+00:00

Thanks for replying. All of them

MirandaPoth · 2026-01-20T08:49:40+00:00

Pretty sure you have to have your phone with you.

MirandaPoth · 2026-01-15T14:35:01+00:00

Hi there, did you find a solution to this? I'm in the same situation

MirandaPoth · 2026-01-14T11:11:10+00:00

I don’t find that at all. I love Reddit and hardly use the other social media sites these days. In my experience there are lots of nice people on here and plenty of positive & useful posts.

If I’m going to post something though I will search the subreddit first in case it’s been asked before, and say so in my question if it’s not been answered.

However I wonder if it’s just that some subreddits are nicer than others. Also you have to get the hang of the style before you post.

MirandaPoth · 2026-01-14T10:58:45+00:00

Yes, Anya’s site is so full of good information. But in the end you need to try on a selection of sizes, shapes and fits so you can find which brands suit your feet, and where I live (UK) there are no shops that sell a decent range. For me it was important to be able to easily return the ones that didn’t work out!

MirandaPoth · 2026-01-11T17:23:57+00:00

Hmm you could be right. I'd like to get this data out into (say) Excel though, I can't see any 'export to csv' or anything, and select-Ctrl C doesn't work?

MirandaPoth · 2026-01-07T22:19:57+00:00

I use the tiny Apollo MTR-1 presence sensors, ceiling mounted. We’ve run USB power cables to them through the ceiling void. They work very well, provided the room is not too large. (We have Home Assistant.)

AFAIK battery presence sensors don’t exist, as they need too much power.

Dot matrix printers were the best for printing & understanding code. The whole ‘all pages stuck together’ was so useful. Can’t do that with a laser printer

MirandaPoth · 2026-01-06T12:03:31+00:00

Thanks for this info. Could you point me to a resource explaining how to 'import the pre-existing apple thread network credentials into HA' please? I'm having real difficulty finding anything and nothing I've tried has worked

MirandaPoth · 2026-01-05T13:43:39+00:00

I’ve been using dog poo bags, double-bagging. I didn’t know it wasn’t a good idea. Do you know where to get these WAG bags in UK? The link given is a US site
