The Leather of the Future
  • If it's what I think it is, cactus leather is more polyurethane than prickly pear. I don't really mind there being plastic in it, like as a glue or binder, but if it's not mostly plants it shouldn't be marketed like it is.

    The leather from the article is all mushroom but a terrible material for now.

    There's a lot more variation in fake leathers than in the real stuff, whether it's plants or petroleum. Anecdotal and not a one to one comparison, but I've had (plastic) vegan boots last a bit longer than the leather ones before it. My cork wallet was also better than cheap leather.

  • Everyday, as an American
  • That's a feature supporters of imperial thinks it has. Even if imperial/some special third option is better for guessing, the difference has to be big enough that it's worth the hassle of having multiple systems or converting everyone again. If it's not worth having two systems but it is worth converting everything , then you still have to keep or prove that it's worth losing the conveniences of metric like 1 km = 1000 m , 1 L of water weighing 1 kg , water freezing and boiling at 0 and 100 °C

  • Keurig's new K-Rounds coffee pods are plastic-free and could finally make single-serve coffee-making sustainable
  • For fast easy machine single-serve, get a machine that takes beans. They cost about three pod-machines but they're worth it. The pod-machines are cheaper because they come with vendor lock-in for the pods, and they just profit more on those instead.

  • We should all be reading more Ursula Le Guin
  • Perhaps I should read Ursula's bag theory myself, because I'm not quite following how it applies to Solarpunk or talking about climate from this.

    I like everything I've read of Le Guin. Just finished reading her last one, Lavinia (Pre-Roman historical myth based on the Aeneid). The Dispossessed is great and you get a feel for an anarchist society. She also wrote a good translation of the Tao te Ching.

  • Install HAOS on Linux machine that has Debian 11 currently
  • It'd be a lot easier to work with more conventional hardware.

    First of all you downloaded the wrong version, your device is not amd64 but arm64. OSMC for Vero provides an img, so you can install an OS like you would on a raspberry pi. Though you'd probably have to make your own image since afaik it's not really an rpi?

    You can probably run hass in docker or install hass core instead.

  • What modern solutions are there similar to dyndns?
  • My homeserver runs Debian with Freedombox, and I'm using their GnuDIP ddns service, but it's for free subdomains, not your own.

    I used to have a script to update my own domain in Gandi console. I only stopped because I didn't really need a domain for my home.

  • domain name with your own name?
  • It's good for email and personal sites (those aren't dead, but they're more popular for people that either write a lot or are self-employed). I'd only use a personal domain for self hosted apps if the users are just you and your family.

    For something like hosting Lemmy, with users you don't know, I wouldn't use the same domain as where you host your other personal stuff, even if it's not your name.

  • domain name with your own name?
  • There are multiple of us! I did the exact same thing, except for using my own name. Mine ends in .re of Réunion. I think it's fun so I'm keeping it.

    For sharing it offline I have a big text widget on my phone. They usually get it if they can read it, but not if I spell it out.

  • GitHub - ellite/Wallos: Open-Source Personal Subscription Tracker
  • I tried it. If I count everything I pay periodically (more bills than subscriptions) I get to 13 things, and the monthly total was slightly higher than I thought due to yearly stuff like school.

    Maybe it's just not for me. I'm not big on budgeting (I only really budget things that don't fit in last month's wage) . Used to do YNAB for about two years (the offline version you could buy on Steam) a lot of work for no benefit.

    Even if you do properly budget, I don't see the value of this over using a spreadsheet.

  • Semolina pasta
  • There's commercial pasta from soft wheat but I think it should be durum flour; that can be semola or a white one. Both worked fine for me.

    Definitely use your machine. Maybe it's that the inside is undercooked or the outside overdone. Egg pasta is somewhat easier to get right too, if you eat eggs, try that.
