The trick in many genres seems the market border crossing. Country might sell low priced in USA, where it originated, but might sell higher priced in Europe or Asia. In Brazil many vinyl records that in Europe easily sell for double or triple digits can still be found for silly prices by crate diggers. Similar until a decade ago with classical music: super common garage sale 1 € records could sell to China for 15 € or more if they were NM...

I consider trying to contact another person in the administration before it happens... It's just so stupid, the super expensive hard to build piece of infrastructure to make it safe is there already at the next parallel street (a concrete street bridge over a railway that runs right next to the priority cycle path, that bridge is wide enough so the cycle path also crosses underneath the street together with the railway). Yet for some to me really impossible to understand reason they choose to redesign the streets around it to guide more car traffic from the neighbourhood around it away from this safe crossing of the cycle "priority route" and towards the dangerous level crossing with it. Putting up the extra "you have priority" signs for the cyclists is just the crazy drop too much. Yeah, you have priority but you should be extremely fucking careful here anyway because you are crossing a street with cars that just drive straight for the 800m before it and 800m after it! Nothing but paint and signs in the middle of long straight street... especially at night or in fall/winter when there's often a thick low hanging fog in this city, cyclists should absolutely not be encouraged to blindly take their priority there!

But it is. In pedestrian friendly areas people move slower and consume more. A shopping mall is a gated community imitation of a walkable city.

Local city made a new "safe" crossing for a priority cycle path where it crosses a local road with medium relatively slow traffic. The local road now has a mini very soft speed bump, lots of white and red paint and a sign saying you have to yield to the cycle path. On the cycle path they actually even put the "you have the priority" sign. None of this solves the issue of it being a for the cars super unexpected weird priority to give, and the view on the incoming cyclists being super obstructed by level difference and bushes. Not even mentioning distracted or drunk or foreign drivers. I tried emailing the city CYCLING INFRASTRUCTURE responsible person about what a death trap they conceived there. He'd have none of it, saying it's super save now because of all the paint and the signs. Meanwhile, parallel street to this one actually already has a non-level conflict free crossing over the cycle path... Which they're closing to cars and thus sending more cars towards the super dangerous level crossing... I'll experience a very weird mixture of sadness and "I told you so" in a few months to a few years I think... At a similar crossing a bit further it already happened, car hit cargo bike with 2 kids in it (they were severily injured). The car driver "oversaw" them while visibility is better there than at this new crossing :( It's incredible how much traffic planners assume car drivers to be good drivers at all times.

The only neighbouring country with certainly better train travelling imo is Switzerland.

French tgv is fucking expensive and trains are a lot less comfortable.

Dutch has great trains but it's basically all intercity/regional/local. It's more like a very large S-Bahn Network, Not comparable to ice experience.

Belgian trains are just shit often and just as much delayed, also no real long distance trains.

Luxembourg is free but the trains are also very unreliable...

Is it really that great in Poland, Czechia, Austria? I don't know.

It could be better, but DB Long Distance travel is really not that bad. It's mainly the infrastructure that's lagging behind

I planted a raspberry bush a few years ago on a strip of unused leftover nothing land in the neighborhood. Neighborhood kids loved the bush and ate the berries. Birds loved it and ate the berries. Some old hag hated it ("looks untidy!!!") and sneakily had the bush removed (it's not her land either) although she knew damn well who had planted it and that kids and birds loved it.

You mean the very thin single use ones? What do you need them for and can't you buy them? Can't you use other kind of bags?

People of Sweden, why do you build miniature urinals into your rain drainpipes?

Maybe the best solution is to build a Truman show like simulated world and contain the Trump problem in there.

I hate windows. But I have to use it for work. The worse it gets, the more I want to break free completely, minimise my exposure to this OS. The only part I truly cannot do without I think is Microsoft Excel.

Replacing with Excel 2016 or only using webversion or so is insufficient for sure, for work it needs the SharePoint/auto save etc etc stuff. Also power query getting data from SharePoint online.

Replacing with Libreoffice or so seems completely impossible, there's too many 'special' files in organisation, with .xlsm macro mess, I don't control all that, I can't fully steer away from such mess but need full functional access.

Other than Excel, I think I could do all my work from a Linux desktop.

Is it possible by now, reliably working in an up to date excel from a base system Linux? What is the way? Have people done this? How? Do I need to run a virtual machine with win11? How do I do that? Does anyone here have experience with it? I have high degree of control over work devices and boss couldn't care less, as long as I can get my work done.

Thanks and sorry if this is the wrong community for this question (where would it belong better?)

Best HTPC distro? (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) by freebee@sh.itjust.works to c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

I caved to black Friday promotions and ordered myself a fan less MSI Cubi N ADL S with N100, 4GB ram, 128 GB m.2 SSD and a Rii F8 remote.

To run as "smart TV", mainly jellyfin, dvb-t2 antenna, YouTube, local public channel streaming from their websites.

Which is the hottest HTPC distro for this right now in your opinion?

It needs to be easy to use for non-techie and super stable and reliable, rather than fancy or brand new and hype.

To replace my current "attach the steamdeck to TV when needed" setup (so I can play on it while something is being watched). And this was experienced as not easy enough for non-techies?

Glaubt Ihr es ist Zeit zu ernten, schon zu Spät, oder wird es vielleicht noch besser?

Gorilla Cookie Auto, ich habe nicht wirklich viel gemacht, nur in nen topf auf dem Balkon mit automatische tropfenbewässerung und 2 Monate ziemlich ignoriert. Pflanz hat letzte Woche viele blätter verloren, werden Gelb und danach runtergefallen.

can't share (thelemmy.club)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by freebee@sh.itjust.works to c/soulseek@lemmy.dbzer0.com

After many years of absence, I am trying to get back into soulseek using Nicotine+.

Installed it through Flatpak on a debian based system. Application seems to work fine... except: clicking the "Add" button on the Shares pane of the settings menu does nothing. No dialog opens, no error message is shown, just nothing. Is it a known bug with an easy fix?

EDIT / SOLVED: appearantly when one logs into a remote desktop session, the file picker sometimes crashes. For anyone encountering same issues: login directly instead of remotely, or use suggested solve: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/file-chooser-does-not-open-for-flatpak-applications-f40-sway/126351/4
