Leather strop for sharpening
I’m genuinely curious here - really? As someone who always has to mess with the old fashioned ‘steel’ (mind your hands cus there’s no guard on it!) sharpener, are they better? Honestly, heard of them, never used but interested.
Funny, but I see soo many kids walking to school with their worldly belongings in their back packs! Worse is they’re hanging soo low - at least get a hip strap. Life lessons I guess. In my day we had lockers in the school.
Now, a Sony Bravia - what size and price may I ask ? And how difficult is it to remove all the shit ad functionality from it ?
I’ve had my 32" for like 8 years but definately looking for the same quality piece of kit.
Excellent! Glad you found what you wanted - I’ll bookmark this for when I have to replace my trusty Bravia! 👍
I’m dreading replacing my dumb tv, but can confirm that the nvidia shield was the best thing I ever bought for entertainment: just sideload your apps and off you go.
Take the cable out of the tv, plug it into your android box and hdmi to the tv.
Can recommend STN, cloudstream and plex.
Good luck.
Great advice and thanks for taking the time.
For what it’s now worth, this has been my way so far (which by the sound of it may be why I’m unsuccessful): load kindling, one log and a couple of firelighters, light fire, keep control open and also door.
Close door after 3-4 mins, wait until log is burnt on one side then turn it over, wait until its burnt through then add another log then repeat turn and refill.
Not getting chance to watch tv properly as I’m constantly watching the fire!
Do you find any type of log better than others?
Thanks again for the advice.
Thaks for the oxyclear tip and yeah, loading the fire up initially is something I struggle with - it stays in our it goes out. I’ll try that loading fashion - cheers.
Who gives a fucking shit about x fucking twitter? - let’s hope it crashes along with reddit !
PS cross post all the good stuff onto lemmy first - then just let it burn and sink!
Joplin syncs with Nextcloud - Orgzly does too. Agreed, Jtxboard does - via davx5.
I’m currently using obsidian synced via syncthing. I know it’s not Nextcloud, but it works well and has a nice interface and lots of plug-ins - even on Android. It might be able to sync - not bothered trying to yet - if anyone has, please comment.
Good luck with your search.
Yeah it works well, it just reminds me too much of reddit is all.
Absolutely no issues at all on lemm.ee from the day reddit killed 3rd party apps - using boost now.
Why is it a pain? I’ve used it for some time and it just does the job.
Thanks for the tip. Just imported my old boost settings and it looks ace.
My thought exactly! It was ok while it lasted, but finally, I’m where I want to be! Thank the Lord.
Yeah, gotta admit to jumping back onto it a few times - purely because of the wealth of information. But I do have to agree with you that the quality of chat seems to be declining.
Lemmy is definately a better quality place to be, but if people don’t post - only to a fraction of communities, it’s in danger of becoming too focused on just a few topics.
What I don’t understand is: some niche communities started getting interest, then the interest waned - did people leave, did they go back to reddit (and why after leaving) or did they find a better place to go (if so where)?
I’m sticking with lemmy for now - with fingers crossed!
Good advice 👍

That sounds good, I’ll check it out. Thanks.
Good luck, it’s kind of feature-rich so if you have any questions, feel free to ask. The dev is quite responsive (on Github) which is good.
Hi, apologies for the delay in replying and thanks for the advice - I’ve been following it this weekend after getting some more logs.
So far it’s working well - I’m on top-down (Scandinavian) method - gets a really nice fire going quick and heats up the flue pretty quickly too. Your tip on getting a moisture tester: I’m gonna follow up soon when I get paid. I get that it’s going to be pretty useful.
I got the two controls mixed up: left being main air vent (which I now keep open until the fire gets red hot) and the right (which I used to keep closed all the time) and now leave open. So, it’s running pretty nice now, my next challenge is keeping it going! I got some complaints that the room was going cold so I’m not sure if leaving the logs to go to embers was leaving it too late before putting more logs on.
Again, thanks for the heads up, this is a learning curve for us, but I really appreciate the help.
