Wow, that’s a lot! USD? I kind of expected it to be a similar figure to what I paid, but if that’s in USD, that’s about what I paid for my used Fuji X-T5! I bought mine a few years ago, but I’d have thought they’d have gone down in price, not up! The world is weird these days, huh?

I’ve never used any of the older cameras than the GX9, but from what I’ve read, they’re pretty similar to operate. The focus peaking on mine is pretty good, I use manual lenses a lot, and it’s a pretty enjoyable experience

I think a GX7/GX80 etc would be fairly much what you’re after. I have a GX9 and it does everything you’ve asked for, though is possibly slightly more than you want to pay - I paid £440 I think. The GX8 was a departure from the formula that made these cameras so special, but the 7/80/85 are all the same body layout. The 85 is pretty close to the GX9, but with a fixed EVF as opposed to tilting, 16mp as opposed to 20, and a few less bells and whistles. I chose to save a little more to get the GX9 and don’t regret that at all, it’s a fantastic camera, but if you could try out an 85, you may find the it’s what you’re after. Hope that helps

I’ve got a Small Stone somewhere, and you could beat a man to death with that thing and it wouldn’t even notice. You need to do finger exercises to have any chance of switching the big clunky switch

I’ve just finished Extremophile by Ian Green. Pretty hard Biopunk (which I didn’t really know was a thing, but it’s great), and in general a really good book. Humorous, intelligent, and well written. I thoroughly recommend it, and will be keeping an eye out for the author’s next book

Being nostalgic for the Cold War is a particularly odd emotion for a pedal to inspire, but damn if that not only looks fantastic, but screams build-quality in a way only things built up to a government specification, as opposed to down to a price, truely can.

Something to do with it enabling nonces I think

I reckon we’d be doing even better if it was total renewables, we lean toward wind power more than most, what with being an island and all

I’m pretty impressed, considering both our land area and population, there’s about 40x more space in the us and another 240,000 or so people. China and the US are 3rd and 4th largest respectively in terms of land, 2nd and 3rd in population and 2nd and 1st by GDP

We’re 80th and 22nd in area and people, and while we’re 6th in global GDP, that’s still 1/10th of the US’s.
I’d like the square to be bigger, but the graphic would look a lot different if it was total renewable power, renewable as a percentage of total power, or even simply wind, as being an island we lean toward wind far more than China and the US. Maybe OP can give us those statistics as graphics?

Ah, so essentially, you’re achieving a similar result to port-forwarding while still using Mullvad by the container forcing all qbittorrent’s connection to go through Mullvad. That’s actually a pretty ideal situation for me, I’d much rather keep using Mullvad if possible, I’ll have to go learn how all this works. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction

Well I was about to say you’re in the wrong sun and point you at the forgotten weapons community, so I reckon you’ve done a pretty good job there

And that’s nothing new. I had friends denied entry for something similar about 20 years ago

Bear with me here, as I know sweet FA about docker containers, but am I right unthinking you only really use it in your container, as opposed to running it on whole devices, or your router? What’s the advantage of that?

I’ve used Mullvad for years, but the lack of port-forwarding is becoming a pain in the proverbial. I’d been considering OVPN, but does anyone have any experience with that, IVPN or Proton? What do you consider the better option?

YouTube have stepped up their blocking again. I used to be able to use Duck Player in librewolf on my laptop, as I still can in DDG browser on my phone, to view YouTube vids anonymously, but recently that has started ask for me to sign in “to prove I’m not a bot”. I guess that, like me, folks are trying to find content in the easier places like Perrtube first before looking to YouTube with its restrictions if what they’re after isn’t there.

Articles like this would get more effective if the author could suggest something, however small, that readers could do to try to change, or at least shine a light on this situation. I suppose that we, and especially those of us in Lib Dem constituencies, could ask our MPs to try to get this kind of this noticed in parliament.

Yeah, this will get me a lot closer to the methods I already have for doing things, if that makes sense. One if the main things about Macs is the “it just works” factor, and if I can get closer to that situation in Linux, all the better

Simulators, like x-plane or flightsim, and I think some driving sims can use lots of monitors. Like 4 monitors for the cockpit windows and another two for control panels etc. though you need a hench pc and graphics set up to do this at a decent frame rate

Not sure, but it mentions a free first year of sailfish subscription, and having to subscribe to an OS doesn’t fill me with joy

The rest of the world should take this approach. If everyone just plain ignored and ghosts the US’s emissaries it would be pretty funny.

It’s not just his koek that’s gesmolten, the whole lot of him has gone south
