There'd be a few times it would be really inconvenient.

For example some concerts only allow tickets from the Ticketmaster app, not even a printed ticket. Though possibly showing the ticket on the laptop would work but then I'm not sure they'd let you bring a laptop into a concert.

Ah! That's my problem, I wasn't using a machine! Just doing it by hand. Maybe I'll pick one up.

You don't have to knead it? Whenever I try to make bread I find I'm kneading forever and it sticks to everything and I get flour all over then it turns out really dense.

All films of him are of him when he was younger, even his latest one.

Woah seriously for vasectomy? I'll want one in about a year should I try to get an appointment now? Though to be honest I wasn't sure if it'd be completely covered or not.

Even within unions it can be bad. I was in a union and the company did something against the contact so I talked to the union reps. They told me I shouldn't grieve because the company gets mad at me, but I insisted so they said they'd look into it and get back to me. A month later they said they asked but found out there is a three week window so I missed it.

Not the other poster but a Canadian too. It varies. To see my GP I can get an appointment within the week, usually same day, though most people here need to wait a couple weeks. Then there GP refers me to specialists, that's usually between 1-6 months wait.

Emergency yeah you are usually looking at 4 hours wait absolute minimum. Though you don't get charged for it at least. Though I guess it depends on severity, they will prioritize by how serious it is not by first arrival.

The other thing the other poster didn't mention is that medication is not covered so you have to pay full for that unless you have insurance. Also for some reason dental isn't covered at all without insurance (or I think recently for low income families but I'm not 100% sure if that's implemented yet or not)

I think what they are saying is: Lemmy itself has an option you set on your profile that shows or hides read posts. That'll apply forever no matter which client you use, but you can't even see your own posts that way so it's frustrating.

Then the clients themselves, like sync, might have their own option to hide read that works independently of the Lemmy setting, in which case they should have more control over it.

In my case I have Lemmy set to show read posts but sync set to hide them but like other people have said, it doesn't seem to work perfectly.

Cool, Pocketbook Touch Lux 5 looks pretty good, since it's the smallest one. But water resistance is a good idea, that's why my kobo stopped working actually. And I can't see anything on that model about water resistance. Which did you get?

 

I'm looking for an eReader that doesn't lock me into a particular ecosystem or format. Ideally I came just copy files over to it and have them work.

Other than that, small physical dimensions and a backlight would be great!

It's been years since I had one but in the market again and I'm not sure the current state of things. My old one was a Kobo and took files just fine.

 

At the moment I've got frigate running on an old dell server through proxmox, writing to drives on that server, but they are shared with a lot of other services.

I'd like to separate it and have a machine that is kinda just acting as a full NVR and writing to it's own drives.

Anybody have any suggestions for one? Are the mini PC's any good or I guess they wouldn't hold enough drives to have plenty of storage.
