I have a NAS as my primary photo backup solution and one day someone will make a photo frame that I can point at it and it will just cycle through photos, but until that day, it’s just a blackhole of memories. That said, that blackhole is important enough to me that I also back up online....
If OP is attempting a 3-2-1 Backup scheme, this is an irrelevant argument.
OP wants to store a backup in a different physical location while trusting that it won’t be used to train AI. They are looking for services that can satisfy that.
Of course a 6" screen doesn’t produce as much as a ball of nuclear fire
But that ball of fire isn’t 12 inches from your face at midnight. And, the majority of blue light filter use is targeting sleep quality. A good portion of this comes down to cumulative exposure time. The best solution is to just not look at screens after a certain hour, but no one wants to do that.
Blue light has a documented effect on our circadian rhythm and melatonin production. It’s been studied quite a bit. I’m sure mental overstimulation is a component, but it absolutely is not the whole story.
In Western society, there is a big focus on silver bullet solutions because people don’t want to address issues in a holistic way. Thus, you have blue light filters instead of turning the screen off.
As an aside, this was the most difficult shirt I’ve made yet easily. I attribute this to two factors:
The fabric having such a fluid drape is crazy. It’s like trying to stitch water together sometimes.
I have come to dislike fusible interfacing because of the puckered texture it often gets during washing. This uses a Pellon branded sew in interfacing, and is my first time using such interfacing. It worked amazingly well, but was an adjustment for sure.
Ultimately I intend to ask my fabric store more about this particular fabric and what other colors it may be available in. It’s just so glorious to wear.
Sometimes you just gotta have clothing that feels like an illusion to survive the ever-growing heat. I find myself particularly enjoying rayon, which often feels actively cool when I wear it.
This rayon linen blend is like something out of a book for me, though. It may end up being my new favorite fabric
Ideally one that can use more than one disk so that i can expand it later when i can. Have some minimal experience with Synology since there's one at work and i have interacted with it a couple times and like the interface, but am not married to any brand as long as it works....
The biggest thing is to not be afraid of mistakes in my opinion. You will learn more about how constructions go together by doing them, making mistakes, reevaluating your mental model, and fixing those mistakes than you will by paralyzing yourself with fear.
Find a reasonable first pattern and make it several times. Then find a second pattern that takes skills from the first and adds others. In this way, you grow your skill set to accomplish the things you want to do.
Once you reach that point, try different materials. Learn about how different materials need to be finished, and use that knowledge to modify the patterns you already know. French seams are an excellent tool for this.
At this point, the world is your oyster. I’m currently working my way through a few new patterns, and a wild variety of fabrics. It’s very satisfying, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I am.
This was my fourth shirt, but I recently posted my ninth. I’ve come a long way, and I still make a bunch of little dumb mistakes. It’s fine, it has never ruined one of my shirts.
Oh and one more thing! When you buy a pattern many will be printed on tissue paper, and will have the lines printed for ever available size. It’s expensive, but I have grown to love swedish tracing paper. It’s not actually “paper”, and the idea is that you trace your intended size lines of a pattern onto it, cut the panels out of the swedish tracing paper, and now you have a more durable way to repeat the exact same sewing pattern with whatever fabric you find yourself with. By doing this, you can keep the purchased tissue pattern as an archive. Maybe you need to retrace something eventually, or maybe you want to make the same thing in a different size one day. Regardless of why, you can’t do that if you cut your intended size out of the tissue pattern.
Like many, when the recent defederation went down, I decided to create a couple other logins and see what the wider fediverse has had to say about it....
This isn't handwringing, though I can understand why it might come off that way. This is simply mulling over how things "actually work" in the fediverse as opposed to how people believe it works. I believe that many people have a fundamental misunderstanding of what this software is and how it works. This is an educational issue that we have an opportunity to begin sorting out
In addition, my scenario of instance users subscribing to illegal content will still be valid even with moderation tools. The only way to stop that currently is defederation with instances hosting illegal content.
