(See bottom for tl;dr.)
I'm the kind of person who loses their keys easily, so I love the idea of trackers: little devices that you can attach to your wallet, phone, or keyring that connect via bluetooth to an app on your phone to help you find it.
Problem is pretty much all the options I can find are run by companies with shitty privacy policies: Tile, Apple AirTag, Chipolo, and so forth.
In any case, I really don't need a location network larger than maybe 200 meters (about 650 feet). If I lose my keys, odds are it's either in my car or in my house, and my house is like 100 square meters (about 1000 square feet). So Bluetooth is really all I need. I don't even need to see it on a map; I just need for it to ding or something.
I'm currently using Tile but I really want to get away from it. Worst case scenario, I'll stop using the Tile, but I really am a forgetful little shit. Lol.
tl;dr – Looking for recommendations for ideally short-range Bluetooth trackers for keys with decent privacy. Max required range = 200 m (650 ft). Also, pie tastes great. Cheers.
I'm currently learning Python and am learning about very basic functions such as int()
, float()
, and input()
.
I have the first two down pat, but I'm struggling to understand the last. The example I'm looking at is found at 12:26 of this video:
nam = input('Who are you? ')
print('Welcome', nam)
Who are you? Chuck
Welcome Chuck
In this case, wouldn't nam
be a variable equal to the text on the right side of the =
sign?
In which case, if nam
is equal to input('Who are you? ')
, then wouldn't print('Welcome', nam)
just result in
Welcome input(Who are you? )
?
Obviously not (nor does it work in a compiler), which leads me to believe I'm clearly misunderstanding something. But I've rewatched that section of the video several times, and looked it up elsewhere on the web, and I just can't wrap my head around it.
Could someone help me with this?
Thanks.
I'm currently learning how to code (currently Python, then maybe JavaScript), but I'm not always around my desktop, and learning on my phone is not always an option (also, it can be quite cumbersome at times). Therefore, I'm looking into purchasing a laptop just for learning how to code and stuff.
I don't want to get a Chromebook because I want to be able to wipe the drive and install Linux on it (probably Linux Mint). Maybe it's changed since 2013, but the last time I had a Chromebook, it was a pain in the ass to install even bog-standard Ubuntu on it.
Problem is, I'm also heavily limited by space & budget: no more than 11 in (280 mm) total laptop width and 330 USD base price.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Please forgive me if this is not the right space for this kind of question. Lemme know if it is and I'll delete it. :)
I suppose the answer could apply to any instance, but I'm mostly referring to this one.
Mind you, I don't have two accounts, but I'm considering it: one for memes, the other for serious discussion.
But I'm unsure if that's considered bad form by most people, so I thought I'd ask.
Thanks!
EDIT: Also, come to think of it, even if it were okay, would it even be possible to have to be logged into two separate accounts on the same instance at the same time with the same browser profile? :/
Lately, when I load up lemmy.blahaj.zone, the notification bell in the corner of the screen doesn't display a count typically until I load a post or comment.
It's also only a recent thing.
Any idea what might be causing it?
Not sure what other details you might need, so just ask if you think of anything. :)
Hello.
I'm extremely tired, so it very well could be that this is extremely simple and I'm just not getting it. However, what I would like to know is how to open a post from a community on one instance on another instance.
For example, here's a recent post from !asklemmy@lemmy.ml. I know that to open that community in the instance lemmy.blahaj.zone, I would merely type into the address bar
lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
However, how would I open that particular post in that community on the latter instance? Is it even possible?
Cheers.
P.S.
I did do some searching on both this community as well as the Reddit Lemmy FAQ page but I didn't find anything. However, I could've missed something. If it's something obvious, I apologize in advance.
Edit: Assuming I understand what people are saying, well, evidently, it seems to be a current limitation of the ActivityPub protocol. Perhaps that will change one day. Hopefully soon. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm well aware that I can rip most Blu-rays with MakeMKV and then convert to mp4 with Handbrake; however, the former just rips everything raw from the disk so the file size is humongous and the conversion via Handbrake for just a single file is terribly long and puts a lot of strain on my computer.
I've heard that EaseFab LosslessCopy is decent, but they only have a Windows and a Mac version, and I'm unsure how well it'd run under Wine.
I am willing to pay for it, but only as long as it's not a subscription thing. Has to be a one-time payment.
Does anyone know any decent Blu-ray ripping software that fits these conditions and run well on Linux? Specifically, it would be either Pop!_OS or Linux Mint. (I'm still using Windows because I want to figure out some software alternatives before I do so I'm not caught with my pants down, so to speak.)
