I am contemplating getting a stand mixer for baking purposes, and I've always known KitchenAid as the default choice here. I would instead want something European-made, but I am unfamiliar with the landscape.

Do any of you have any experience with European models, such as the Ankarsum or Bosch OptiMUM (what kind of name is that??), or any other?

I have a good food processor and blender from before, so I don't need it to be able to handle all kinds of things that stand mixers are not meant for, but if there's some extensibility beyond just kneading that I wouldn't otherwise be able to achieve with those devices, that would be a plus.

I'm currently building some indoor climate sensors for my home. My idea is to have temperature, humidity, noise, light, VOC and CO2 readings at a relatively high frequency reporting to my MQTT server.

I am currently setting up some different temperature sensors, and I want to calibrate them (hopefully just a linear offset) and evaluate them on some metrics, such as sensor-to-sensor consistency and accuracy.

To calibrate and evaluate the accuracy, I would need a source of truth, and ideally I would also be able to cycle it through a range of realistic values for the given metric.

What are your strategies to tackling these things? Do you assume the sensors are already well-calibrated and don't bother with this? Do you have a dedicated reader for any sensor value you would want to calibrate?

I am one of those guilty of always intending to donate, but never really getting to it. But now I sat down and took the time to donate to some of the projects that provide great value for me, and also listed the ones I did not donate to now for future donations. I also set up an overview to track where I donate to, so that I make sure to spread the donations well over time.

Just a friendly reminder to consider donating to the projects that provide value to you if you have the means!

As we all know, privacy starts with security, which leads many people in this community to seek out secure services / software, some relentlessly so.

Then life happens, and suddenly you find yourself naked in a back alley in Hanoi (or if you already live in the region, you might instead find yourself naked in Santiago de Chile), stripped of all belongings and at best some vague recollection of an unusually good night. What is your strategy to regain access to what you need to get back home?

An no, the staff at the hotel does not recognize you.

I am in the process of migrating my Nextcloud instance from one server to another. I copied the Borg archive to one mountpoint, /mnt/ncbackup and intend to keep my data in /mnt/ncdata.

I couldn't really find out what to mount the backup directory to, so I just fired it up as documented in the documentation, and I was able to retrieve my backups from the non-mounted directory.

So this reveals a fundamental flaw in my understanding of how Docker works - I had assumed the container only had access to whatever was explicitly mounted. But I guess I am wrong?

This is the command I run:

sudo docker run \
--init \
--sig-proxy=false \
--name nextcloud-aio-mastercontainer \
--restart always \
--publish 8080:8080 \
--env APACHE_PORT=11000 \
--env APACHE_IP_BINDING=0.0.0.0 \
--env APACHE_ADDITIONAL_NETWORK="" \
--env SKIP_DOMAIN_VALIDATION=false \
--env NEXTCLOUD_DATADIR="/mnt/ncdata" \
--volume nextcloud_aio_mastercontainer:/mnt/docker-aio-config \
--volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro \

I am getting my first 3D-printer (a Prusa CORE One) this week! I have tons of ideas that I want to get started with, but the most time-sensitive one is to make some self-watering planters for my balcony (so I can have time to grow some greens in the season). I wanted to do this without a 3D-printer last year, but I could never find any cases close to the right dimensions in the stores, and making the separator between the water reservoir and soil from off-the-shelf parts was not so easy with the cases I did find, so I hope I am able to make something functioning with my 3D-printer this year.

But I'm new to this, and I am looking for some advice to where to get started reading up on different concepts that will be relevant to this project. These are the things I am planning to dive into over the next weeks, and I am sure there are plenty of things I have not thought about at all:

1. Splitting and joining 3D-printed objects: The overall base area of the planter is too large for my 3D-printer to do in one go, and I am likely going to need four parts that I need to fuse together. I am thinking there are many "standard" ways of doing this, such as splitting with a jigsaw-puzzle pattern? I am also planning to simply glue to the parts together along the seam, and add an additional layer of glue along the boundary. Which leads to concerns about...

2. Water tightness: I know that making watertight prints is not the easiest thing in the world. The container should be able to contain water without leakage, and I am planning on reading up on all the ways to make the prints themselves as impermeable to water as possible. I am sure there are much to learn in terms of slicer settings here. In addition, I will look into different coatings I can finish it up with, such as a layer of water-proof wood glue. However, the water here will be absorbed by the soil and then by the plant's roots, so this coating should be non-toxic.

3. Material choice: To begin with, I will only have PLA available, but I can get other filaments if needed. There are two immediate concerns I have about this: whether it is food-safe (for the same reason as above) and whether it is suitable for outdoors use. It will not be in direct sunlight, as I will build a wooden case around these 3D-printed containers, but the planters themselves will be, so it could get a little hot during Summer. Any other considerations I need to make?

4. Modelling the parts: I am already familiar with Blender, and planned on using it for the first project. I have FreeCAD installed, but zero experience. The shapes are simple, and I am sure I can draw up something in Blender in no time. But since I want to split them up, and join them ideally as flush as possible, will the models be precise enough? Dimensional precision is the main reason I've heard for using CAD-software over Blender for hobby basis.

I frequently use KRunner to do simple sums when doing my accounting. I keep a ledger with numbers formatted as e.g. 1,000.00. My system settings in KDE for number formatting under Region & Language is set to British English, i.e. the way I want it. However, whenever I copy a sum from KRunner, e.g. "1000.25 + 1000.25", it is copied as "2000,5" (i.e. no thousands-delimiter, wrong decimal point and only one decimal number). It gets a bit annoying to change this manually.

I can't seen to find any specific settings for this in KRunner or the Calculator plugin, and I would expect it to respect KDE's own settings.

Does anyone know how to force KRunner to do my bidding here?

I have a set of Samsung washer and dryer that can be hooked up to Samsung SmartThings. I have no interest in making a Samsung account and having my washers and dryers communicate with anything outside of my network.

But since it has some kind of "smart" functionality, I was wondering whether anyone has been able to get this information without ever onboarding it with SmartThings?

Both machines set up their own WPA2-protected WiFi network when running.

I have a server running Debian that has been connected to WiFi for a long time, but I have since moved it and given it a wired connection. It still seems to be using WiFi though, and in my router settings it shows up as connected through WiFi and not through ethernet.

Now I want to make sure that I can switch over from WiFi to ethernet directly from an ssh-connection so I won't have to connect a screen to get direct access.

What is my best bet here? A lot of the tools I find used for different network operations are not pre-installed, and I don't want to be installing just everything being suggested. Can I solve this by installing network-manager and using nmcli?

EDIT: I also want to disable the wireless card.

EDIT2: No eth-interface shows up when running ip link show, EDIT3: but r8169 0000:02:00.0 enp2s0: renamed from eth0 shows up in dmesg and enp2s0 shows up in ip link show, so I guess it is recongized then.

[SOLVED] EDIT4: I made the modifications manually in etc/network/interfaces, and now it seems to work. I entered the following lines:

auto enp2s0
iface enp2s0 inet dhcp

And then it showed up in my router. I then continued to comment out the lines enabling the wireless interface, and after reboot it works fine still.

SOLVED: BananaTrifleViolin's post contains the solution.

Flatseal won't start by itself anymore, which is a known issue. I got it running by running

GSK_RENDERER=gl com.github.tchx84.Flatseal

and inspired by a response in the above linked issue, I wanted to add GSK_RENDERER=gl as a variable in Flatseal so I could open it without having to manually run this in the terminal.

However, I seem to have screwed that up, and written GSK_RENDERER=ng instead, because the application still won't run, and now I get the following output anytime I try to open it by the method above:

(com.github.tchx84.Flatseal:2): Gsk-WARNING **: 22:09:54.997: Unrecognized renderer "ng". Try GSK_RENDERER=help
MESA-INTEL: warning: ../src/intel/vulkan/anv_formats.c:782: FINISHME: support YUV colorspace with DRM format modifiers
MESA-INTEL: warning: ../src/intel/vulkan/anv_formats.c:814: FINISHME: support more multi-planar formats with DRM modifiers
Gdk-Message: 22:09:55.406: Error 71 (Protocol error) dispatching to Wayland display.

However, I can't for the life of me seem to correct this. I've tried running the above command again, I've tried overriding it with flatpak:

flatpak override --env=GSK_RENDERER=gl com.github.tchx84.Flatseal

(which yielded a "permission denied", and nothing happening after running with sudo)

I've reinstalled the applications several times, including removing the config files from ~/.var/app/com.github.tchx84.Flatseal and checked that /var/app/ does not contain any config files.

I just want to reset the user input changes I made to this flatpak and start over, but I'm getting no where...
