  • Thanks for you comment, didn't think of that.

    I bought the used pallet collar's for a company I know and it shipped and stored stainless steel. I'm fine with that. But if someone isn't comfortable with used new pallet collar's are about €15.

    The free pallets I used only moved pavement stones once, so I also think it fine. But yeah don't just pick something on the side of the road to grow food in.

    A other comment mentioned chemical treatment of pallets. I didn't think of that. Most pallet in the eu are not allowed to use chemicals to treat the wood. Only heat treatment. That covers eur/epal pallets and single use pallets. Basically the only ones that are free or cheap. And it most be printed on the pallet how they are treated.

    That being said be careful especially in countries without laws against using chemicals on pallets.

    So I'm fine using them also understand other people are not. Then buying new are just wood for the store is always a option.

  • It's forbidden to use chemical treatment on Eur pallet/epal pallets. They are only heat treated. Single use pallet are also forbidden to use chemical treatment, but are normally not heat treated. So for the eu the treatment is not the problem. Of course didn't think of the rest of the world. Sorry for that.

    For the stuff that's was on the pallet collar's stored and transported stainless steel and the free pallets I got where form work and shipped some pavement stones.

    If you don't feel safe buy/getting for free used. New epal pallet collar's are about €15. They are only heat treated by law.

  • I "just" moved and now taking care of the garden. I want a small vegetable garden (again) in raised beds.

    You have a lot of raised beds kits the cheapest ones are €40 and more expensive ones are €90. I however used pallet collar's at €5 a piece. You don't even have to screw them together just put them down. For some custom size beds I use free pallets. They do take some work however.

    Give them one treatment with linseed oil and you can use them for years. They live longer then the cheap kits and just a bit shorter then expensive ones. (Hardwood probably out life them)

    Kits for vegetable gardens are most of the time really overpriced. Raised beds kits, tool kits and so on.

    If you want high quality tools buy them of course, but starter kits are most of the time just the cheapest ones at a premium. Want hardwood raised beds, just buy wood and not a kit.

    I suggest start on the cheap side, see if it your hobby. Buy cheap tools they already least long enough and if they break you know that you maybe want to invest in a premium one. Because you use that tool really often. (Second hand old tools are sometimes a better option of course)

  • As someone how yesterday got home 3 pallets and 4 pallet collar's in a Twingo. I disagree.

    You don't want to do that every day for work, but in a pinch small cars fit enough. Need more room for a project at home? Get a cart. My Twingo can tow a light cart. That's 99% of all use cases for me.

    Need even more rent a van. We did that with moving houses and it fits so much more then a pickup.

    I really think 99% of people will be fine with a small car and a hinge. You get pretty good mileage and a small car that is not a dead trap for everybody outside. Even small ev's are great for that.

  • I made some posters in krita for work. Worked okay. Just make sure you start with the good ratio in px for printing.

  • I always try to drive in QHD at 144 fps. At 720p you don't have enough resolution to see all the bicycles on time.

  • I know some Linux users trash talk Nvidia on Linux like it just a piece of shit. But it's simply okay. Don't get me wrong it's not great. But it works.

    But if you have a simple setup it will probably work. My SO PC has a rtx 2060 and one monitor and it works fine.

    You can of course always dual boot. I still have windows for VR gaming and just in case. I do recommend a stable os with Nvidia (especially if you just starting out with Linux). Something like pop os. Don't go with arch just for the meme.

    With dual booting you can try Linux and test if it's okay for you. If not just give the disk space back to windows. If not great keep using Linux.

  • Not op but also don't have a steamdeck, but my tv setup is also reported as steamdeck. I use Chimera OS on my PC connected to my living room tv.

    It uses just some old parts left over a 4 gen i5 and a Rx 470.

  • When there was basically only Netflix I paid for it and almost completely stopped pirating. Now I have acces to Netflix, Disney, prime(Disney and prime by password sharing) and I again started pirating years ago.

    I for sure pay €20 for one service with almost everything, no ads and decent quality. Then I again stop pirating

  • In my case I use a Emby server and not "free" streaming options because I can choice the quality, subtitles and on which device I want to watch. Or download it on my phone for offline watching.

    All under my control without any ads.

  • If in the future it ever gets good support for gui's and is stable. For sure gone try Qlab.

    It's simple the best show control software I tried yet. But for now I will be using Linux show player or borrow a MacBook.

  • Everytime I hear something about Plex I become a bit happier with my choice for Emby as media server.

    At the time of building my then server I could choice between them(jellyfin wasn't a thing yet). Luckily I picked emby

  • I work at a school and I don't get up early much. Mostly start at 12. My class starts at 14:30. So weeks I work from 8:00 till 22:00 but that are just 6 or 7 in the year.

    Most meetings with colleagues are also in the afternoon. We are not morning people.

  • Wat een soap, benieuwd waar de volgende verkenner van verdacht, veroordeeld of gedaan heeft.

  • Did you turn on steamplay/proton on in the settings? Including the toggle to use it for all titels?

    Of course does not mean all games are playable, but they at least should so up in your library to try.

    You can test a windows game and especially single player games most just work. If you have some problems you can check it on protondb.com. Maybe someone already found a simple solution.

  • Gelukkig ben je niet je hart verloren

    "Vrienden" van mij werken bij AZC's die maken "grapjes" in de groepsapp dat ze morgen naar het uwv mogen en sturen "grappig" memes. Sommige hebben zelfs op de PVV gestemd.

    Ik snap gewoon niet dat als ze met deze mensen werken, zichzelf niet kunnen bedenken wat het voor die mensen kan betekenen.

  • Ik schaam mij echt diep voor Nederland. Extreem rechts waarschijnlijk de de grootste

  • Dat is mooi dat de eu en vs ons milieu beleid bepaald en welke overlast de omwonenden mogen ervaren. Alleen voor meer winst voor de vliegtuigmaatschappijen.

    Met zulke bondgenoten heb je geen vijanden meer nodig.

  • About 45 minutes with car. I mostly choice my own times so almost never drive in "busy"(busy traffic where I live at most add 5 minutes to your commute). As it never soul crushing traffic I don't really mind.

    Some weeks I work 5 days on site from 8:00 till 22:00, but some days I work 2 days on site for 4 hours a day and one day at home. So a extra 1,5 hours a day if I work on site I don't really mind.

    Only thing I would love to change is being able to go with public transport. Most days I can arrive on my work on time. (Even if i need to got up pretty early if I start at 8) But the problem is I can't get home if I don't leave before 17:30 from work. That's mostly not possible. (Or at least I don't know at the start of the day which time I'm done)

    I don't really care Public transport is a 30 minutes longer commute, or that it is more expensive (my work pays the full ticket price anyway). The problem is I just can't get home after work.
