I'm a former IT Infrastructure Architect, now spending my time reading, writing and getting into too many hobbies.

If you wish to support my efforts, please send me a tip on Ko-fi

I am participating in FediWriMo this year. Click here for my BearTrack Profile / Stats.

  • That's exactly the point - focus more on content and less on word count. But also, this tends to be more personal than about writing fiction.

    I'm going to be posting a lengthy article about journaling that I am writing currently, along with the setup notes for TrackBear in the FediWriMo community later today, or possibly tomorrow.

    And 72pt? Why so tiny? Go for 120pt or 240pt - you could type the word "and" and have three pages. 🤣 But all kidding aside, in the original post for this event I suggested for those using something like Obsidian or Notion (or any other non-paginating editor) they should probably use 300-350 words-per-page as a guideline.

    It indeed appears the rabbit hole is deep on this topic...

    Question

    Study of note taking with Pens vs. Laptops

  • Hardware resources usage over time ?

    Jump

  • I haven't used sar in over 10 years. I used to use it to monitor resource usage of jobs that I was running while I was at work. Now that I look back, I was using isag (no longer maintained) to generate reports for me.

    I would think it should be possible to package ksar in an appimage or docker container - but I don't know if one exists.

    But - there is a newer option:

    sadf -g your_datafile [ -- sar_options ] > output.svg

    This is part of the sysstat package - no need to install anything else, and no java. sadf allows you to make graphs that you can view in your browser. Check the man file for sadf for more information. (Can't comment any further on this since I haven't used it.)

    Jump

  • Surprised nobody answered this...

    I think he's a smart person with very progressive ideas. I think he has the charm and wit to win over a lot of people (hell, he just got Trump to be cheerful about being called a fascist).

    However, I think there is going to be a reality check when he tries to actually implement many of the policies that he ran on. He will probably get some of them enacted, but he will face a lot of resistance in getting the major ones passed.

  • I think the mistake is assuming they actually hold all of those beliefs.

    Umm, more like any beliefs. Well, okay, they do hold the belief in their expanding pocketbooks.

  • Scheduled Posts

    Jump

  • Okay - this is definitely an issue. I've created a codeberg issue, with screenshots: https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/issues/1473

    Update: I verified that the scheduled posts can be seen on two Lemmy instances before their scheduled time.

  • Scheduled Posts

    Jump

  • Oh, I know for certain that the time zone is correct -- it's set to CST. And, adjusting to GMT 6:00 was correct. And, I can confirm that on feddit.online it wasn't posted until the correct time.

    So, unless there is a timezone calculation being done incorrectly somewhere (either piefed or lemmy), I don't think that was the issue.

    (And, FWIW, the timezone has been set consistently for all my scheduled posts over the last month, and I haven't seen this behavior before.)

  • Is this worth putting in a bug report for? I can't even say if it's occurring regularly, or if this was a one-time glitch. I've signed up for an account on a Lemmy instance so I can see if it happens again tonight.

    I couldn't believe I had forgotten about TLDP.

  • Hongdian M2 Converter

    Jump

  • So: update... After all of this, I got 4 new sets of converters: one set of Hongdian, one set from Schmidt, and 2 "generic" chinese sets.

    And, I will say, one of the two sets of generic converters does actually fit better than the original converters that shipped with the M2's. However, all, except the replacement Hongdian converters, were too long. (TBH - I knew the Schmidts weren't going to work - I only ordered them to have on hand for a couple of other pens that I know have Schmidt feeds / nibs, and will take them).

    In the end - the replacement Hongdian converters fit much better than the converters that came with the M2's, and don't have the issue of the piston bumping the feed tube. These are so good that I only get about a .5mm air bubble instead of the 2-3mm air bubble I was seeing before.

    Although, I wish one of the others could be used. I think one of the generic sets is actually better designed / manufacture than the Hongdian converters. Oh well.

    Now I just have a big pile of converters that I can't use at the moment. 😆

  • Hongdian M2 Converter

    Jump

  • With most of the converter pens, I can get a good fill by running the ink up and down the converter a few times to get most of the air out. (I could, pop the converter off, syringe in a bit more ink - but meh.) It's just annoying to not be able to get rid of a large air bubble all because the seal is bad.

  • Hongdian M2 Converter

    Jump

  • Unfortunately, the converters were probably chosen just for the dimensions and aren’t actually made by Hongdian.

    Oh, no... These are Hongdian converters, they came installed with the pens and are Hongdian branded...

    a) is what I did initially - but found the weak fit annoying as it results in less than half-full converters. :)

    b) is what I did to get a mostly full converter for now.

    c) I didn't find any indication of a bad assembly...and I don't think it is mis-assembled. I bought some extras (after starting this topic) and tried taking one apart... It appears even the new ones have the same issue, and disassembling one doesn't look like they were assembled incorrectly. IMO - I think this is a case of Hongdian designed a generic converter and didn't account for different tolerances in the M2's design.

    I'm on option d) I've ordered a bunch of other converters to see if a different one will fit better. I mostly ordered generic Chines converters, but some of them look better constructed (like having an extra ring on the portion that fits over the feed tube). We'll see what happens with them.

    I was thinking about options (e) and (f)... (e) would be to just use cartridges (either dropper filled, or pre-loaded), and (f) would be trying to use them without a cartridge or converter as a dropper pen. I don't know that the o-ring would be good enough for option f - and I don't know if I want to find out the hard way...😂
