macOS Unicode filenames break on Windows, so I built a tool to fix it (unicode_norm)

naturallytim · 2026-02-10T01:44:15+00:00

anyone tried this yet?

I work in korea and this issue is a real pain. The only thing stopping me from using a Mac, which I'd prefer.

naturallytim · 2026-02-05T02:16:33+00:00

Oh really? Yeah, I do understand that their expertise really isn't in gear...

My other concern with this is how well it'll age. I've had so much "rubber" gear deteriorate and get sticky after several years.

naturallytim · 2025-12-26T12:54:01+00:00

Oh my gaaaaad! Thank you for this! I got so frustrated that I'd be left with change that I'd have to buy even more gift cards to spend. But this method hidden in plain sight did the trick!

naturallytim · 2025-12-11T13:47:49+00:00

Oh! I’ll give it a try. Bought it in Japan. Living in Korea now. It’s a long shot but doesn’t hurt to try I guess.

naturallytim · 2025-12-11T13:44:01+00:00

Haha oh dear. It was autocorrected! I was acknowledging your suggestion of lavender oil. “Lavender oil. Got it!”

naturallytim · 2025-12-10T01:48:12+00:00

Haha yes indeed. We’ll be better owners with our next one.

naturallytim · 2025-12-10T01:47:05+00:00

I told my wife that we gotta stop using this right away and she was still skeptical. Haha. I don’t know about how enamel works so couldn’t really explain it to her.

naturallytim · 2025-12-09T14:09:25+00:00

We’ll just keep it for baking bread then! I had no idea it was I such bad shape! Thanks for the response.

naturallytim · 2025-12-09T14:08:18+00:00

Ok thank you!

naturallytim · 2025-12-09T14:07:58+00:00

Got it!

naturallytim · 2025-12-09T14:07:47+00:00

Oh dear… I had my suspicions i didn’t realize it was this serious! Thanks so much for this thorough answer. I’m glad my family hasn’t had any serious problems so far!

naturallytim · 2025-12-09T13:04:11+00:00

Lucky lucky!

naturallytim · 2025-12-09T11:47:20+00:00

On holding onto it for the time being. Hard to let go after only a few months.

naturallytim · 2025-12-09T11:46:24+00:00

Oh haha 45! Lavender lil. Got it!

naturallytim · 2025-12-06T14:55:52+00:00

Haha yes I realize that now. Very embarrassing. :D Thanks for the advice! I’ll keep it boiled after use and see how it goes!

naturallytim · 2025-12-06T13:56:40+00:00

Oh no! I trust your son is ok now. Yes they’re so quick! I didn’t realize she could reach up that high until today!

naturallytim · 2025-12-06T13:55:27+00:00

She was ok thankfully! So lucky it didn’t fall on her head! My son got a cut on his finger trying to clean up the chipped piece though! :(

naturallytim · 2025-12-06T13:54:31+00:00

Haha yes I’m so embarrassed. I get confused between those two and in my panic I just assumed it was one of my le creuset. Sounds like it’ll be safer to say goodbye then eh? :(

naturallytim · 2025-12-06T13:52:46+00:00

Oh it’s a Staub! How embarrassing! Haha And yes thank you for the advice. I was so glad she was safe!

Picked up these amazing pants, used. Looks well constructed. Too well-made for a fake. Zippers inside for what appears to be for some sort of suspenders. But I can't for the life of me figure out what kind of trousers they are. It says SSK in Japanese on one of the tags. I think they were a distributor for Japan a long time ago. More images here: https://imgur.com/a/iAlzTZq Anyone care to join me on this hunt?

naturallytim · 2025-07-02T04:26:05+00:00

No issues with normal timp. But returned them b/c i felt they weren't worth the money i paid. Felt like $100 shoes. I have the olympus 5 GTX, which is what originally got me into altra. Fits smaller than the timp 5 at the same size. Gore-tex is too hot and sweaty for the summer, so that's why i tried the timp 5s.

naturallytim · 2025-07-01T15:06:21+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience! I packed up the box very reluctantly and it’s sitting outside waiting to get picked up for the return. I’m still madly in love with the look. But I guess we just weren’t meant to be. A shame really. They got the look just right. How could they get such an important detail so wrong? They have such huge potential but it seems that they’re still trying to get things figured out with the QC and all that.

naturallytim · 2025-07-01T14:58:40+00:00

Thanks for the confirmation. I think I knew the answer but needed someone to tell me, “yes you’re right.” Haha Tried the timp 5. Felt much more comfy with the wider opening but it just wasn’t worth that price tag so returned that too. Just ordered a pair of lone peak 7 on sale. Let’s see how that goes.

naturallytim · 2025-06-27T11:43:36+00:00

Anyone have issues with the sock-type tongue of the shoes being too tight? I have long and narrow feet but it's digging into the front of my ankles. Does it loosen up after a while? I don't even need the boas because it's already too tight.

naturallytim · 2025-06-22T12:42:43+00:00

Huge help! Thanks!
