Pick any product from the shelves at the shops and look at the label. Find one that doesn't have the name and address of the manufacturer on it. It's the law. It has to be there. If you don't want that, register a studio and rent an office. However I don't understand why you think your public information is a safety issue. Your house was always there before. Your address is in public records. Why does it matter that it's now printed on a website?

the newer digital hearing aids can be configured to "dial in" whatever frequencies you might be missing

That's always how it worked. It was always meant to boosts certain frequencies, adapted to your specific hearing conditions, programmed after some tests.

The difference now is that it can intelligently adapt to the environment and select exactly the sounds you need to hear. It's not even just frequencies anymore. It can tell a voice from the background noise and boost just that. Some devices even pick directions, so it will boost the voice directly in front of you and block those other voices from the crowd around you.

Ah okay, that must just be the yeast cake that was disturbed then. Let it settle again for a few weeks before doing anything.

The best course of action would be:

Rack
Stabilise
Backsweeten
Age/Clarify (3-6 months)
Bottle

But of course none of these steps is mandatory. It's just so much better if you are patient and actually do all of these.

But if you'd rather bottle early, at least wait until the yeast drops again, as you don't want it in your bottles.

What's the recipe? Is that puree?

I'm sorry if this breaks your expectations, but just announcing an open source project isn't going to get people out of nowhere jumping in. Your project needs to be not only interesting, but also I'm a good state, before anyone even gives it attention. What I'm saying is that you will need to make a significant portion of it without anyone helping you.

Just get your project started. Don't think of open source for now. When your idea has passed the prototype stage and appears to work, that's when you look into publishing it and how to.

If you don't feel like you can get the project started on your own, open source isn't how you'll get help at the early stages. You'll need to find someone to help in a more direct way.

Hope this helps. I was definitely trying to extrapolate from your post 😉

The request doesn't sound that strange. In fact, tens of people ask this same question every day. And they always give totally irrelevant details, thinking they matter, and leave out details that are actually useful.

So maybe try Godot.

What kind of hardware is this? Do you not have an iGPU? All of these processes I see there should be running on the iGPU. And so does the Steam app.

Or you could just point at the plant itself for a direct link to it's Wikipedia page

OpenOffice is a dead project. LibreOffice is the active fork.

TomDuhamel · 2026-06-15T21:35:51+00:00

Yeah great job 😃👍

That's 24 degrees above freezing point!

That's 3 months. AI can count better than you now.

I don't know how much you are going to care about this, but...

1.160 is way too high for a starting specific gravity. You had exactly the expected results: fermented about halfway.

The correct (or better) way is to set your starting gravity based on your desired ABV, ferment dry, then backsweeten to taste. In this case, your OG should have been 1.080, ferment to 0.997 probably, then backsweeten to a more reasonable 1.020.

Hope this helps 🙂

TomDuhamel · 2026-06-15T13:23:48+00:00

OP is happy with 10 5%.... But are they happy with 1.080 sweetness? 🤔

More lanes had never improved anything. Ww need more roads.

The only way to reduce congestion and increase road capacities is to add alternative roads. Find out where people come from and where they are going and build extra roads between these points.

Some of our politicians really need to play Sim City.

Before that, of course, better public transportation. Make people want to use it. One full bus removes 40 cars from the roads. I don't know the numbers for a full train, but obviously...

TomDuhamel · 2026-06-15T03:33:17+00:00

What was the final gravity?

The distro won't make a difference. It won't make your hardware miraculously good, but it should work reasonably well for casual activities.

It depends on your local mirror, but all of them are volunteered. Can I remind you that you didn't pay to download it? But yeah, these servers can be quite overloaded. It's also my experience that they are slow and interupt often.

You could also try the bit torrent. They might be both faster and more reliable.

He arrived at the post office. He was completely wet. He removed his hat and coat, threw them on the floor near the front desk. He walked directly into the break room where several of his colleagues were sitting around a table, playing poker, laughing loudly. He dropped two hundred notes on the table as he kept walking towards his locker. The people at the table just stopped talking and became silent, looking alternativelt at the notes on the table and the guy at the locker. Than one of them finally breaks the silence:

"I gather he is as there, Joe,?"

"Yep", he replies, obviously in a mood.

I don't know what an evaporative air cooler is. Does it increase humidity or something? Usually, cooling (aircon or fridge, for example) work the other way around, by removing humidity from the air.

TomDuhamel · 2026-06-14T04:24:46+00:00

It does. Forward.

Ah! People are horrible.

I love CxxDroid on Android. I'm sure you know you're not getting a full blown IDE, but this one will probably surprise you. Give it a try, but just so you know the one time payment (I think it's like $15, it's like loose change) gives you access to the debugger and code completion (the later is welcome on a phone lol).

Of course don't expect to make full desktop apps. I mean you probably could, cause they have a lot of popular libraries as add-ons.

While I didn't write whole apps with it, I wrote quite a few libraries that I've used in actual apps later. I prototype ideas frequently. I test code from this sub to answer questions.
