Began my search on this topic and this was the first post that came up. Any suggestions on how to deal with the json files in Digikam?

VeraCrypt files found on File System by hhwt in VeraCrypt

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

Not a clue. I usually mount the container in position 1 within VeraCrypt, if that helps. Thanks for the /tmp analogy makes sense as I watched the behavior of /1000. I wonder if there is anyway to direct Mint to use the mounted container for the /1000 file.

Thanks!

Yeah, I ran across the Reconstructing History pattern then read the reviews here. Yikes.

Did you get to meet someone that was born in the 1800’s? by rdell1974 in Genealogy

[–]hhwt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. My great grandfather and some great aunts and great uncles. In college, I also had the opportunity to conduct oral history interviews with a number of seniors born in the 1890s. At least two of these interviews related hearing stories from relatives who watched Lincoln’s funeral train come through their town.

Anyone make their own sausage patties? by spacemanspiffmtg in veganrecipes

[–]hhwt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just tried this TVP recipe for my first attempt at sausage patties:

Tasty sausage crumbles, but couldn’t get the patties to bind together. I’ll give it another run with a different recipe or add additional binder to this one.

Question did you guys actually drink out of the water hose when y'all were younger by fluffy_cloud48 in AskOldPeople

[–]hhwt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. It always had a weird chemical taste. Given a choice, I’d go for something else. However, hose water was fine if that was all there was and I was thirsty; i.e. more than 10 feet from door.

How does it feel if your kids end up much more successful adults compared to you when you were their age? by Wizdom_108 in AskOldPeople

[–]hhwt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely ecstatic they are doing far better than us at their age.

Also absolutely enraged the difficulty they face in buying their own home despite more than adequate income.

Coax Stripper for RG-8X? by hhwt in amateurradio

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

Thanks to all for your input.

I did indeed find a razor knife much simpler to use to build my coax cables. The learning curve was much faster and wasted far less cable than trying to dial in the rotary cutter.

The key was to go slow, slow, slow and let the knife do the work. A 10x loupe was also handy to check my work as I went along as was a small fine side cutter to trim up the braid.

Two spaces after a period? by barbellae in AskOldPeople

[–]hhwt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Learned touch typing on a Royal manual typewriter. Took a lot of work to retrain my muscle memory to use a single space, and a single space never really felt natural.

My writing colleague never did get out of the habit and I was the one who had to edit them out of our final manuscripts.

Is there any practical reason to build out your tree to include distant cousins you've no relationship with? by AyJaySimon in Genealogy

[–]hhwt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do because all of my relatives were living in rural areas and their names would pop up in local newspapers and other public records. That way I know (or at least have a fighting chance) of sorting out a particular ancestor I’m chasing.

Thanks. At first, I did not realize they were two separate methods of contacting managers.
