Great, I'll repost, thanks. What's a mesh network btw?

Emby sounds interesting, thanks.

Hi, apologies for the delay in replying and thanks for the advice - I've been following it this weekend after getting some more logs.

So far it's working well - I'm on top-down (Scandinavian) method - gets a really nice fire going quick and heats up the flue pretty quickly too. Your tip on getting a moisture tester: I'm gonna follow up soon when I get paid. I get that it's going to be pretty useful.

I got the two controls mixed up: left being main air vent (which I now keep open until the fire gets red hot) and the right (which I used to keep closed all the time) and now leave open. So, it's running pretty nice now, my next challenge is keeping it going! I got some complaints that the room was going cold so I'm not sure if leaving the logs to go to embers was leaving it too late before putting more logs on.

Again, thanks for the heads up, this is a learning curve for us, but I really appreciate the help.

Leather strop for sharpening

I'm genuinely curious here - really? As someone who always has to mess with the old fashioned 'steel' (mind your hands cus there's no guard on it!) sharpener, are they better? Honestly, heard of them, never used but interested.

Funny, but I see soo many kids walking to school with their worldly belongings in their back packs! Worse is they're hanging soo low - at least get a hip strap. Life lessons I guess. In my day we had lockers in the school.

I'll fuckin bet someone came out singing ! Why do we allow this to continue to happen to penny shareholders? And workers alike.

Now, a Sony Bravia - what size and price may I ask ? And how difficult is it to remove all the shit ad functionality from it ?

I've had my 32" for like 8 years but definately looking for the same quality piece of kit.

I'm dreading replacing my dumb tv, but can confirm that the nvidia shield was the best thing I ever bought for entertainment: just sideload your apps and off you go.

Take the cable out of the tv, plug it into your android box and hdmi to the tv.

Can recommend STN, cloudstream and plex.

Good luck.

Great advice and thanks for taking the time.

For what it's now worth, this has been my way so far (which by the sound of it may be why I'm unsuccessful): load kindling, one log and a couple of firelighters, light fire, keep control open and also door.

Close door after 3-4 mins, wait until log is burnt on one side then turn it over, wait until its burnt through then add another log then repeat turn and refill.

Not getting chance to watch tv properly as I'm constantly watching the fire!

Do you find any type of log better than others?

Thanks again for the advice.

Thaks for the oxyclear tip and yeah, loading the fire up initially is something I struggle with - it stays in our it goes out. I'll try that loading fashion - cheers.

Never heard of that special. Thanks for the correction though.

I'm just having a pick at the fashion of overly botoxed lips.

Good point. Let's make every new passer drive an old banger for a year - I'm absolutely fed up of monkey-lipped young girls forcing me to my side of the road because they can't fucking negotiate the width of their fucking tractors!

Sorry for the rant, but I drive a classic - and it fucking riles me - every day ! I used to enjoy driving - now it's a daily nightmare.

Who gives a fucking shit about x fucking twitter? - let's hope it crashes along with reddit !

PS cross post all the good stuff onto lemmy first - then just let it burn and sink!

Who would have thought they'd lie to us - shocking! /s

Joplin syncs with Nextcloud - Orgzly does too. Agreed, Jtxboard does - via davx5.

I'm currently using obsidian synced via syncthing. I know it's not Nextcloud, but it works well and has a nice interface and lots of plug-ins - even on Android. It might be able to sync - not bothered trying to yet - if anyone has, please comment.

Good luck with your search.

I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted, I've been vaping since I quit the fags 10 years ago - just switched addictions! But, I do buy from what (I think) is a reputable seller - he makes it himself and puts the ingredients on the label. I'm just not quite ready to quit yet.

I'm sure some of the shit kids buy is un-regulated and it needs tighter control. It's like weed - gonna fuck up your brain eventually - but it brings in tax I guess - so, who cares?

I'm confused - why are they now attacking Lebanon? I thought their beef was with Hamas.

Thanks for the link - I'll definitely look into it.

and my PC at home would have it downloaded automatically before I even got home.

Hi, could you please explain how you got this to happen? Thanks.
