Where to buy Posters in Perth
I have to look for a christmas present for a nephew, and one of the thoughts was a poster of basketball players. Anyone know where there are places to buy them now?
I know there was a place at the royal show, but i am damned if i know where to go now.
There are online places, but shipping is about the same as the poster itself!
would love some options,
thanks!
Kde laptop
Hi all,
I am looking for suggestions for a new laptop to run KDE on, but I want it to be amazing out of the box.
I have run kubuntu and neon on HP and dell laptops previously, and they are fairly good, but things like the GPU not being auto set up, or hibernate type features not working have made it a bit of a pain.
I think my main bugbear is the power management. My wife's macbook air can have the lid closed and it will wake up again a week later just fine. My laptop barely makes it overnight and get hot in the bag.
What are some good laptops to run KDE, where they have been fully integrated and have great power management?
The main ones I know of are slimbook and framework, but would love to hear some experiences if you have them.
Thanks!

Service to store and share WiFi credentials
This is a bit of an odd one,
I have just moved to another country where internet is very expensive, and i would like to have an app to create a shared list of Wifi creds where i find them, whether that is offices, hotels or cafes, etc.
It would kind of be like the OpenWifi Map, but maybe a bit more private?
Does anyone know of anything like this? it would be able to tell where you are and alert you or autoconnet to the wifi using the credentials that are stored.
The reason i want it to be shared is that my wife can use the ones that i find and vice-versa.
cheers

Hey y'all!
I am after the colelctive expertise of this fantastic community. My family and i are moving overseas for a year for a pacific adventure, which leaves my hosting setup in a bind. We will be renting out our house and i will need to move all of my 'servers' (read laptop and NAS) out.
All of my services are in docker.
My main services that i MUST keep are:
- Immich
- 600Gb or so
- very important as we will be taking a HEAP of photos.
- paperless
- vaultwarden
- custom location tracking service
- radicale
I would also like to make it so that all of my media is still available, but i may need to get a set up at a friends house. I have jellyfin plus a bunch of *arr's
I was thinking a mix between at a mates house and a cloud server.
any thoughts?
edit: a lot of my services are exposed publicly, via Nginx proxy manager.

edit: turns out i was a bit too literal... it is a rift in the middle of her clothes...

RPi client for tv
My jellyfin server is all set up and ready to go.l, but I want to replace my Kodi box, it is just painful.
Is there a nice way to setup a rPi to run as a client, that just turns on and looks like a media centre? Ie, it loads up and is ready to go at power on?

recommendations for musician tablets & software
cross-posted from: https://aussie.zone/post/3641289
Hi all, I am looking for a starter tablet to show tabs, and in the future potentially musical notation.
As a starter into i am looking for ideas on what sort of tablet. Is 10" big enough? and what are some good apps for it?
My preference is Android, but if all else fails, an iPad could work.
cheers

Eddie Jones resigns as Wallabies coach
well, the shit show that was dropping Rennie 9 months out from a World Cup seems to be over (thank fuck) what a disastrous idea, trying to buy world cup experience by kicking out the bloke who had decent success with 30 injured players.
muppets...

Hi fellow hosters! I really did not know where to ask this question - and i thought you lot are pretty similar to me. If you can think of somewhere else to post this, please let me know!
I am looking for a solution to be able to host my own books (something like calibre i guess), that i can easily push them to a yet-to-be-purchased eReader.
Firstly - What eReader are you using that allows you to add any number of book sources to? i would also like to include my local library subscription, as well as locally hosted and purchased ones.
Secondly - Any hints on hosting a book collection. (Readarr v calibre, etc), where you get books from, removing DRM from eBooks that you buy, that sort of stuff.
thanks!
Farming Dung Beetles for Farmers Farming other things
I love seeing this sort of thing in Farming. Are there any other places where dungbeetles are used as an input to a farm?
What other insects are being introduced to farms? I know of bees (pollination) and ladybirds (pest control)

I think that these are firmly embeded in many peoples minds. Very catchy and has a great message!
sorting of 'favourite' comms
Hey lemmings.
I find that I am not seeing what I am Interested in from the smaller comms I have subscribed to.
Is there a way to increase their visibility?
I was think it would be useful to put a multiplier on the scores of various comms, ie ![email protected] can have a 5x multiplier so that is see more of those posts, in comparison to other larger comms.
I am having to go to the comms explicitly to see their posts.
Cheers!
