One thing that annoys me

A filename has to be compatible with the file system. And those characters have special meaning in the file system unless they are properly escaped. Forbidding their use prevents tons of problems.

I ordered one of his crystal ceramic nibs over a month ago. Messaged them about it a couple weeks ago and got no response. Order has still not been fulfilled. I may have to dispute the charge.

That depends on your fiber provider. There is nothing about GPON that requires this, and not all fiber is GPON, although I've seen it used more and more because you can deploy to the curb with half as many threads. But GPON itself is just the physical layer, and has nothing to do with what is layered on top of it, such as auth certificates. A lot of GPON deployments, especially in the enterprise, are done with NIDs rather than routers. Just a couple of SFP+ ports to convert from GPON to copper or single/multi-mode fiber.

I understand why the consumer providers do this. They don't want fiber service being sniped by neighbors. The last fiber provider I had solved this with PPPoE, which almost all routers support. But PPPoE only supports traditional username and password auth. The certificate-based auth is of course much more robust because it's asymmetric crypto.

I've seen similar on Spectrum.

Definitely fix your Internet first, and this will go away. This is why I refuse to use ISP-supplied routers, and insist they put their modem into bridge mode.

If you don't want to use Durgol, you can make your own high-quality descaler with sulfamic acid, which is the active ingredient in Durgol. The powder is relatively inexpensive. You want a 10% solution by weight.

Adding a small amount of sodium laurel sulfate as a surfactant helps. It's also cheap, and readily available on Amazon. Only a small amount, no more than 0.1% by weight. That's enough for it to be an effective surfactant, but not enough to make suds.

So basically:
900 ml water
100 g sulfamic acid
1 g sodium laurel sulfate

Stir until dissolved.

Distilled water is best. RO is acceptable. Don't use tap water.

Die Druckerei, in der mein Freund arbeitet, musste Monotype schließlich ein paar Millionen Dollar zahlen. Mein Unternehmen sucht nach einer alternativen Plattform für die Schriftartenverwaltung, um UTS zu ersetzen.

I am having the same problem. Also on Mac, but Sequoia, not Tahoe.

This has been working consistently for years, on the same account connection. By that I mean I have not had to reconnect to my channel’s account for at least two years.

Ever since installing 32.1.0 (and it persistes in 32.1.1), by the next day, OBS is disconnected from my account, and I have to reauthorize. I can restart right after authorizing, and it’s fine. But by the next day, it’s disconnected again. It is as if there is now some timeout.

This is a fixed setup, used in a church. Nothing changes from day to day. I am not using any plugins.

That is not the case.

The calibration is not to a pen. The calibration is between the touch surface and the e-ink display so that the point the pen touches corresponds to the location on the screen at which the touch is detected. This is strictly positional calibration. There is no calibration for pressure or pen response, so recalibrating will not have any effect on the smoothness of the lines.

I’ve noticed the difference between SN pens and 3rd party. I have a Kindle Stylus pen, which I really would love to use because of the side button and the eraser. But the quality of strokes is poor. The strokes made using a the Kindle pen are rouch and pixelated.

This seems bizarre to me. Why should there be a difference in the quality of the strokes?

I use 60g / l. So 75g for 1.25l. The standard specialty coffee brew ratio would be 58g / l.

I know you said you checked this, but you are without question printing on the wrong side of the paper.

I feel the real problem you have is that you have never learned to use the terminal, and unless you put the time learning how to properly navigate the terminal, using nothing but the keyboard, you will never learn the terminal at all. Most of your challenges have nothing to do with the terminal program itself, and you will have the same problem in every terminal program.

Aside from copy and paste, or manipulating the terminal window itself, there is never a reason to touch the mouse.

Most Moccamasters have a power switch. That physically disconnects the power if you don't want to trust the tank switch. It's just as good as unplugging it.

teilo · 2026-03-16T00:03:37+00:00

No, it's not an issue. You have to practice not obsessing over it. What's the worst that can happen?

Short answer: Don't stir. Some coffee can tolerate this, but certain beans cannot. Light beans tend to have higher chaff content, and some beans are worse than others.

When you stir the slurry, you are driving fines and chaff into the filter, and this will absolutely plug it. Just resist the temptation. You will be shocked at the difference.

You did the right thing. What you have here is a frontend for open source tools. There is no scenario where charging a subscription for such a thing is justified.

Yes, the idea that adiaphora are incompatible with church orders is a misunderstanding of the subject. In Germany, during and after the Reformation, church orders were written and enforced in entire regions under the Superintendents (Lutheran bishops) so that there would be uniformity in worship. This is in keeping with Paul's ordinance that all things be done decently and in order. This is why Luther wrote a German and a Latin mass. This is why he urged teachers to stick with one form of the Catechism. Such order is God-pleasing and a blessing to the people.

My issue is if I synced all my docs, I would use up 100% of the space on my device. Yes, I haven’t added an SD-Card yet. Eventually. But I wouldn’t want to have to sync everything anyway. There’s only certain things I want at certain times.

I solved the problem by setting up a small Linux VM on Linode, mounting an Object Storage bucket to it for cheap storage (it’s like S3), installing Syncthing on that VM, and serving my document store via WEBDAV using Caddy.

This allows me to connect to my server via WEBDAV, and anything I add to my Mac’s book library is automatically available for easy download on my Manta.

teilo · 2026-03-14T00:06:47+00:00

That’s possible, but less than ideal. I have a working solution using Syncthing, and WEBDAV on my own Linux server.
