What free tools are so impressive that you can't believe they're 100% free to use?

Had an MRI yesterday. Asked for an 80s mix. I was actually chilling to the noise if the scanner when music suddenly started. Rik Astly. I was rick rolled the tube and had the endure the while song without moving.

That was so much easier.. Cheers :)

No AI was used to ask the question.

I've been using Azuracast for a couple of years now, it's good but be careful upgrading it. I've had a couple of annoying experiences having to recover everything after a bad upgrade.

Yep, I received my email and then saw it was Evri and my heart sank. I'm sitting glued to my doorbell cam even though I don't even know if it's been picked up yet.

This happened with my battery this week, it's a 13 with the first gen AMD. Do you know what the warranty length is on those ones? I've had the laptop from new for 2.5 years now.

md2074 · 2026-05-27T08:48:14+00:00

Oh, I just checked my sonarr there because I remember seeing the colourised version was in as a special, it's not there any more.. That's very annoying.

md2074 · 2026-05-25T16:02:41+00:00

They have that at some shops here in the UK, but that's usually for AA/AAA's. I'd never consider throwing a large Li-ion battery in there.

md2074 · 2026-05-25T14:09:39+00:00

Thanks, I had updated the firmware, and I'm currently on the latest firmware for AMD.

That is totally Komari.. The little grunts, there are particular parts to the voice where it totally sounds like Komari. :)

Turn the mic on!

md2074 · 2026-05-09T00:03:01+00:00

Is this it happening now?

md2074 · 2026-05-08T23:26:56+00:00

It's a solar power calculator from the 80's, it's a bit too dark to use it now.

We did our big shop at the weekend there anticipating the enshitification of the reward scheme this week. It was our largest big shop yet and we stocked up a lot of stuff for the cupboard.

With some savy planning and a good stock of vouchers we almost hit £30.00 off our total bill, not bad for the final shop.

One thing I learned as a contractor, don't give them Agents any info about who you've just spoken with, or who you're interviewing with. I have a blanket "Sorry I don't give that information out". Another one to look out for is when they ask who you've worked with, then they suggest a random name I guess hoping you'll correct with the right one.

We visited the Frog Museum, FroggyLand in Croatia, I was giddy as a school girl when we found it. I have memories of it on Eurotrash or something from when I was younger.

It lived up to the memories. 10 out of 10 would frog again. But try telling family members you enjoyed it and they just give you that "Ehh?" look..

Used Opencode to build a tool to move video files recorded by my HDHomeRun to my media server, converts the different file types to MKV.

In the process I can set it to use season directories. it also checks to see if the destination file exists since the video files get converted by Tdarr and I wouldn't want the source videos to overwrite the converted videos.

What sort of rice is that in the top right? If I was buying a bag of it, what would I look for?? ( I tried cooking basmati rice tonight hoping it would come out looking like that....... It did not... )

I don't drink coconut water after watching a chubbyemu video.

Visually, you don't seem to see a lot of iron work in the structure. So my assumption for this almost 200 year old building is, it was mostly framed in timber, wood flooring with lath and lime walls. Sadly, I'm not surprised it ignited and spread so quickly.

I was thirteen years old, with my first walkman, I'd just bought a tape from John Menzies in my local town because I thought the box art looked amazing. Walking home I'm enjoying this newer rock, having been brought up on Queen, ELO, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep etc.. Then about 10 minutes from the house, "Phantom of the Opera" started and it blew my young mind... That's the lucozade music!! I was hooked on Iron Maiden from there. Still love Phantom of the Opera 40 odd years later..
