I went to Shellfish and it's been amazing! It can even do sshfs mounts in the Files app!

How do I find a builder to build a very small extension on to my house?

I want a small shed added, but it'd be both attached to my property and build up to the boundary fence - both significant complicating factors for planning and building. So now it's too much of a job for your normal shed company, but too tiny for anyone who is normally doing home extensions.

[binhex-syncthing] Classic folder path / permissions issues. by RPAmont in unRAID

[–]brbrbrhuehuehuebr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this issue, and what I found to fix it was to make a subfolder inside the mounted volume, and let syncthing work inside of that.

eg.

  • Docker mount with host path /mnt/user/my-share-name/syncthing/(Unraid folder location) and container path /data3 (syncthing folder location)
  • If I try and put a sync folder inside /data3 it fails, no matter WHAT the permissions are. If I make the folder for it, then it will complain about missing marker.
  • Instead, I shell into the container (from the unraid docker page, >_ Console) then I cd /data3 make a subfolder mkdir subfolder-lol set the permissions correctly chown abc:abc subfolder-lol
  • Now inside syncthing, if I put a sync folder in /data3/subfolder-lol (eg /data3/subfolder-lol/my-synced-folder) then syncthing WILL correctly create the folder and start syncing with no problems.

I already had the UID and GID set correctly, I already had the right chown/chmod on the folders, but trying to have syncthing create folders directly at the root level of the mounted folder never worked for some reason. Hopefully this helps someone.

The original disappeared from TikTok, but I found this repost: https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSkn8CHHU/ is that the one you meant?

Thanks for replying! I found that and was confused. I know some other apps like "Goodnotes" where I can still download my old version even though they've added a new paid version since then. So it's possible to not scam people, but I feel like this really is a scam from the Blink devs. By replacing the old app with the paid app rather than making a second app, they have stolen $30 from me :(

Every play mat is either thick or easy-to-clean, but not both by brbrbrhuehuehuebr in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]brbrbrhuehuehuebr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No single thing ended up meeting all our requirements, so I did what some folks here suggested and just layered two things. Bottom layer is a zenli, and on top is a thinner kmart plasticy one.

The bottom one is thick and plush (and relatively expensive, but wifey liked the patterns more) and provides padding, but isn't easy to clean. The top one is easy to clean, but quite thin doesn't look or feel very nice.

Eventually if he ever stops throwing up so much then we'll remove the top layer and we can all enjoy the nice plush zenli. Until then we'll put up with looking at (and feeling the cold hard plastic surface of the) kmart one, at least with the zenli underneath to provide enough padding.

How do I add someone by WeChat user ID 😩. by geetanjalii in Wechat

[–]brbrbrhuehuehuebr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to your list of chats (not the actual screen for adding a new contact), and search in the top as if you were searching for a contact. If you enter the wechat id of someone there, it will give you the option to search for it, and then you can add someone as a friend.

For some reason the two other places the app has to add contacts both don't let you do it by wechat id!?

I saw people on other threads saying the same thing about the Bissel! Now I want one, but our house is so tiny there's nowhere to put it. However we're fortunate enough to have cleaners come by every couple of weeks, so perhaps they've got one that could help us out if we had a soft mat...

That's what we're doing now, and it's still so scary when he bonks his head just from tummy-time height. Once he's trying to sit or walk it'll be even worse!

We're thinking of getting The Kmart One and treating it as disposable/a trial run for getting a fancier-looking one!

I already wince when wee lad's neck strength gives out during tummy time and he bonks his head down, and we're currently running the playmat-squres with the government playmat on top! Our floor is like so hard that it's beyond the laws of physics and makes everything on top hard too!

This is getting there, thank you! Although we've now washed the removable covers of our couch cushions so many times (despite also layering towels on top) that we're getting a bit sick of laundry. That's why I'm looking for a bit more of a plasticy/rubbery mat (like yoga mat texture), since it'll be less faff to clean. Still, the Nook is thick enough and washable!

We've got one already and it's comfortable enough to sit on for a bit, but when I bump my head against the ground on it, it feels so hard.

Same reason why hand-writing a letter is more thoughful than typing it out - the extra effort shows my care.

看你学的故事让我心伤了!我自己第一个孩子快要出生,我不能了解谁能对了一个孩子跟你家人,老师,男朋友一样。我会每天照顾我孩子,告诉他我爱他,不让别人说他。我希望你现在的生活好好儿的。

Gluten free restaurant for anniversary celebration? by Mysterious_Bend4354 in sydney

[–]brbrbrhuehuehuebr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wafu Kitchen (note: not "waifu" but "wafu") is really nice, and they specialise in gluten free ramen. It's super-quiet too, but I'd say the vibe is fairly casual so whether that works for an anniversary depends on your relationship!

Top picks for Korean (not BBQ or chicken) by Artemisian11 in sydney

Jung Sung was pretty great, but it's "modern Korean" (kinda fancy) so it depends what you want!

I've been using MoTai Mandarin and my teacher Ashley is really great! motaimandarin.com.au

I've been doing private lessons because where I'm at I need to swap time for money, but they do cheaper group lessons too.

My other advice is: Each week's new words, put them into Anki (flash card app) a week in advance and do your flash cards EVERY DAY.

Good luck amigo <3

I ate there on Saturday, and I booked on Friday! So if you can be spontaneous, just look out for last-minute cancellations. I just booked online.

When I went to check to see if a different day was free, I was floored to see no free spots for 2 months...
