But, no, I think having an instance where people can speak their language is fine. If you want to preserve an endangered language, or talk about regional issues, or just to make moderation easier.

nostr:npub1jz8cuanuvth9mk2hat6zcyldtq97cgk5x7ttfx6xl8rearruxlysqeq6yl I walked down to my local phone shop and asked for a replacement. They didn't have stock but ordered it in for me. Cost of battery & fitting was about £40-£50. Cost of the new battery was about £30 on eBay - but I wasn't confident enough to do it myself. So a fair price!

🆕 blog! “Let's build a website using XML!”
It is 2023. XHTML is dead and buried. HTML is a "living standard" with billions of users. So what kind of idiot would want to build a website using XML? Me. I am that idiot. Last year, I launched a "web page" which didn't use HTML. Called, appropriately enough, "YOU DON'T NEED HTML!" That (ab)used […]

The new sofa has BUILT IN CUP HOLDERS!
nostr:npub1220flf74q9gc5l30cuf0d7d9ujk3pms8uhcxnhsnna0jw9yyl7yqjepvnp
It took me some time to get used to it - but now it is part of my daily workflow. Absolute magic.
Today I have:
🚚 taken delivery of a new sofa
📦 unpacked said sofa
🪜 carried a sofa up a flight of stairs ("PIVOT")
🛠️ built a sofa
🛋️ tastefully arranged sofa in lounge
🥱 sat exhausted on the new sofa
Is it cocktail hour yet?

What makes you think that?
I live in one of the most deprived boroughs in London - which is where the photo was taken.

This means that things like coal is a decreasingly relevant part of the energy mix.

I am always in awe of your pyrotechnics (lumotechnics?)
Very impressed with using Wise for international money transfers.
Made it a breeze to get paid on a foreign currency, and dead easy to do bank transfers to charities etc.
Fees were lower than anything else - including crypto 😆

Gets you a £500 transfer without fees.
nostr:npub1rvwnhzkvllph6ulm93fg9wvs4agaqwgagpkyl27q6m5wlp6g9gqqvcxgew the Megadrive should work with SCART (if my memory of it is correct) so the OSSC or GBS will handle that just fine.
Dragon32 is composite - which won't work on those.
Personally, I'd avoid upscaling etc. Let your HDTV process the plain signal. All the post-processing stuff seems to add noise in my experience.

I got this Kaico cable which converts an original Xbox to HDMI - https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2022/07/review-kaico-xbox-hmdi-cable-optical/
They also do specific converters for DreamCast and other consoles. Or an OSSC which should handle most things.

If I zoom and enhance, how many recursive photos are there of you? 😁
A quick Monday morning update to the nostr:npub13yacydgc89sua6n4wusrtgmgvdsjtuwh430mjecegy5gy0yclzwsnrkahr website.
Each photo now properly links to a full-size photo. E.g. https://images.weserv.nl/?url=openbenches.org/image/2ed6f384d1779d84af94d5cc45f2a0ddd9094428/&w=&q=&output=webp&il
So you can zoom in to your heart's content.

Here it is! The thrilling, nearly 2,000 word conclusion to my nostr:npub196qp059ct6svn3zjnkayllh6f552sehejrthc24e20wnt78ngsnsjm96ja project log, “A Book for Every Language”. In which we examine the vagaries of Unicode character properties, deep dive into the internals of the Open Book's language software (called Babel), and pull a rabbit out of a hat by adding proportional-width typography to the Open Book without sacrificing 100% coverage of all the world's languages. Also jokes. (I do not promise that they are good jokes.) https://hackaday.io/project/168761-the-open-book/log/222182-a-book-for-every-language-part-ii-plus-proportional-width-fonts
