When you are inserting the converter into the Lamy make sure you are inserting it into the correct slots so it fully engages (it can take a bit more force than you expect).
I made the mistake of using the half circle sections when I first got my Lamy Al-Star and it made a bit of a mess.

I wouldn't consider it a backup solution, I use Timeshift for that.
It's more of a file syncing software like Syncthing.
I have it set up to one way sync certain folders on my computer to an external USB HDD that I can disconnect and take with me if I have to evacuate.

Have you had a look at "Lucky Backup"?
There is something I have been wondering. Various manufacturers regularly put out new notebooks with specialty covers either as a yearly special or a limited edition product. My question is, why don't they start making covers instead/as well? Hobonichi, Midori, Kokuyo and some others make basic covers but none make decorated paper, plastic, vinyl or fabric covers that can be moved between notebooks. It would be nice to be able to get a fabric cover printed with something like Van Gogh's Starry Night.

I use Timeshift to backup my SSD to a HDD then I use Lucky backup to (oneway) sync my main folders (doc, music, download, pic, videos, etc) to a USB HDD.
Still need to figure out how to do an encrypted backup to cloud storage (thanks to 90% of common cloud storage is based in the USA with very loose data protection laws).

Logitech does not support Linux.
Most of the current compatibility of Logitech devices comes from, Linux devs reverse engineering their software, USB standards or from default programing stored in the device.

Have you considered that they may have used a 32bit UEFI bios combined with 64bit processor?
Try a distro that supports 32bit UEFI.

About 25 years for me.
For most people it's a better option to use a local print shop for the odd times that they need something printed.
More options for printing too.

Kind of surprised that they haven't done what NZ has done and have one company that owns and maintains the physical network then sells access to ISP's. The company installs fiber to your house and terminates the fiber in an ONT (a box that converts from fiber to ethernet) that any ISP can connect to (or multiple ISP's depending on the ONT).
That way you have a choice of providers and there isn't multiple fiber installs being done.
Right now I get an uncapped, no contract 300down/100up for about £45 and if I wanted to I could bump it up to 950down/500up for another £10 a month (before any bundling discounts).
The speed is pretty consistent & often slightly over and I get a choice of router that I want to use (currently a MikroTik RB960PGS).
And I just looked it up and 2/4/8 gigabyte symmetric plans are being rolled out as they upgrade the cabinets and they aren't much more expensive.

You have a few choices:
-
Minecraft launcher (official) - Allows you to play vanilla MC.
-
Prisim launcher - allows you to download & play mod packs from several sources (newer FTB packs have to be loaded up in the FTB app first before being imported).
-
FTB app - allows you to play basically any FTB modpack.
The first should show up in the software store and the second two have install instructions on their websites.

You have to load it up in the FTB app then import it into Prism.

I still visit, in read only mode.
Just a PSA: for anyone using a MikroTik router, using it for their DHCP server and are having issues with their devices not using Pi-hole. If you have set the IP of your Pi-hole as the DNS server and are seeing entries in "dynamic servers" then the router is using your ISP's DNS server causing it to bypass your Pi-Hole. You need to go to the interface that is supplying your internet connection (PPPoE client, DHCP) and turn off the option "use peer dns". This will disable dynamic servers and route everything to your Pi-hole.

I think that this would be a security nightmare and would require a massive redesign for session cookies.
If anything they should be trying to lock cookies and sites assorted data to the specific device used to log in.
At the moment it is very easy for a criminal (once they have gained access) to nab your browser's entire profile and load it up on their computer giving them access to everything logged in on that profile.
What you are suggesting is something that would make the criminals jobs easier .

Wireless access points are really versatile and can be used is a number of ways.
I recently upgraded from an all in one WiFi router to a wired only router (I have fibre) which is then connected to my desktop using ethernet and I have a UFO style access point on the ceiling connected using ethernet and powered by POE.
If I need to upgrade the WiFi at a later date I don't have to redo my entire network setup.
I was looking through my Pi-hole logs and a strange URL is regularly coming up that I can't figure out what it is used for. `ap.syncforreddit.com` Does anyone have any insight?
I have the search bar added to the toolbar which I use to either search straight from it or use it to bring up google. It looks like in the latest update you can no longer select the text box, hit enter and get taken to the search page. You have to enter some text before it does so. Does anyone else have the same issue?
I have recently upgraded my router from a nearly 7 year old consumer "gaming" router to a Mikrotik RB960PGS router. So far I have been able to: - Remove all configurations - Set a long admin password - Create a bridge - Setup DHCP server - Set up NAT - Set up Spark NZ fibre connection - Update to latest stable firmware (7.15.2) - Set up basic IPv4 & IPv6 firewalls - Setup NTP & disable cloud/update time - Set DNS to my Pi-hole - Disabled the following IP services API, API-SSL, FTP, SSH, Telnet, & WWW-SSL - Turned off "detect internet" - Turned off "use peer dns" so all DNS goes through the Pi-Hole instead of the ISP's DNS servers. Is there any other "gotcha's" or things that I should be setting up?
I brought a TWSBI Go with a fine nib a while ago. From day two it had issues with the feed drying up extremely quickly when using Diamine Scribble Purple ink. It dried out slightly slower when using Lamy black ink but for some reason it would fling out drops of ink when uncapped or jostled (so much fun finding random ink blobs on your dark mouse mat). Tried flushing the pen with water, taking the nib out and cleaning it with soapy water to no effect. I was about to return the pen but I found a random post that suggested flushing the entire pen with soapy water and cleaning the nibs slit would fix the issue. Seeing as I had nothing to loose and doing so wouldn't damage the pen I gave it a try. I ended up using some cotton sewing thread to clean the slit as that was all I had to hand. After cleaning the pen with soapy and clean water, cleaning the nib, drying, reassembling and reinking I gave it another go. And to my surprise it writes like a dream now and has no random ink going flying. While I know how I went about fixing the pen wasn't the best method I thought I would post about it anyway.
What books have you read recently &/or are reading?
So a while ago I thought that I would get a Lamy fountain pen to see if it would help with my handwriting. So off I go looking around at what is available and find the Lamy Safari, then I find the Lamy Al-star which cost a bit more than the Safari and I prefer metal pens due to my gorilla sized hands. So I buy the Lamy Al-star with a fine nib, some Lamy blue black cartridges and a converter. Wasn't really happy with the blue black ink (wasn't dark enough) so I went looking and found the Diamine blue black ink which is my new fave. Got a small bottle of that plus a bottle & cartridges of Lamy black ink and a EF nib for the Al-star. Time goes on and I see people talking about the TWSBI ECO and the Platinum Preppy pens. So after some debate I visit my local fine pen and stationary shop (kind of dangerous to my wallet) I am now the owner of a TWSBI ECO with an EF nib, a PP with EF nib, Platinum Pigment Carbon Black Cartridges & a A5 Rhodia Webnotebook. All was good for a while then I had a need for a better pen to carry in my bag. So today I purchased an Kaweco AL Sport with EF nib, another Platinum Preppy with a fine nib, a box of Kaweco perl black cartridges and a box of Diamine blue black cartridges. Hopefully I have enough pens for now but something tells me that I don't.
Just a PSA for anyone beating their head against a wall trying to figure out why snaps are not working on their Manjaro stable install. The current top kernel (6.8.4-1) is bugged and causes snaps to give this error: ```error: system does not fully support snapd: cannot mount squashfs image using "squashfs"``` Apparently the newer version of the 6.8 kernel available in Manjaro testing works fine.
About a day ago [this post](https://sh.itjust.works/post/15596721) was made over on sh.itjust.works. ~~It has proceeded to cause the Sync for Lemmy app to either fully crash or to crash and restart as [reported here](https://lemmy.world/post/12696983).~~ ~~Upon testing it doesn't appear to be the image as when posting, the PNG image link, WEBP image link, embeding the PNG image or WEBP image, Sync can open or view the image without issue.~~ Edit: Sync has been fixed. But the mystery gets deeper as the above testing works fine when using the default "lemmy.world" interface but when I attempt to post a link to the image using the "old.lemmy.world" interface it crashes to what appears to be the webpage within the comment section ([as shown here](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/8ed6c587-aa9e-4066-95d1-49fe0bcbc890.png)). This is what I was attempting to post ("lemmy.world" - Worked, "old.lemmy.world" - Malfunction). ``` Test link [Test](https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/b733f506-7837-415d-a761-e3bea08c0594.png) This is a test link to see if it is the image ``` I am using Firefox 123.0 on Manjaro 23.1.3 Could you please have a look into this.
