I came back to this thread and saw other responses about a previous post you made about this place, and I just want to also chime in and also say this ozone generator would not be viable for that situation where there will be so many untreated rooms of other tenets. I would recommend not going back.

I have no relation to that company, other than having bought a couple of their generators to deal with a mold and mildew smell issue in a garage and a room in my house, where they worked quite well.

I haven't ever needed them for bed bugs personally, but from what I've read it should be able to exterminate every bug in a room after about 10 hours per room (though it may not kill every egg if they're in an odd spot that the gas can't get to).

When I used one in a bedroom, I didn't notice much if any leakage from the room with the door closed, and it dissipated after a couple hours of being off.

I would hate to recommend this and have it potentially not work considering your situation, so you may want to try other solutions first before going down on this route.

NovelWriter is a good FOSS alternative to Scrivener, which I agree with @Scary_le_Poo@beehaw.org can be frustrating in some ways (the compiler in the newer versions of Scrivener is infamous for that).

NovelWriter is mainly developed by a really chill dev in Sweden.

Hmm, that is potentially concerning. I liked OnlyOffice slightly more than LibreOffice, and the ease in which it does online collaboration was nice, but going back to LibreOffice is no real suffrage.

I'd recommend purchasing an ozone generator and ozonating the house/room if possible. Forever ozone makes an affordable residential unit for 80 bucks.

Make sure you have a couple extension cords (it's dangerous to breathe) so you can activate it from outside the house/room, and run it for the amount of time described in the instructions to eliminate bedbugs, and your problem should be solved.

Flatpak shares libraries, so there are no duplicates of the same version, though there may be duplicates of other versions, as that would ensure compatibility with the specific app.

App image does not share libraries between apps, so it would potentially have more duplicates.

They were likely posting about the BuyFromEU Lemmy community.

!breadtube@slrpnk.net has been seeing very steady growth, having nearly reached 400 subs!

!mealtimevideos@lemmy.cafe has also seen steady growth and quite active community participation. Overall the move to .cafe has worked out wonderfully, and it's proven itself to be a reliable instance :)

Benn consistently makes awesome videos on a surprising variety of things, and this is no exception!

Of course hackernews removes this post.

Even if everyone agreed on Apt as the standard package format, wouldn't you still need to create multiple packages for the various different versions of libraries each distro will still have depending on their release cycle? As far as I know, it can be done theoretically, but since libraries can often break ABI, it's safer to bundle all dependencies, but then you're not far off from an appimage in practice.

Also, what are your thoughts on Richard Brown's (of opensuse) talk on Flatpak, who was a prominent hater of containerized apps.

 

I'm so damn pleased to have found this on archive. Three Days of The Condor is one of my absolute favorite movies ever.

Condor was originally going to be more of a generic spy film to generate some cash for the director, Sydney Pollack. But after the Watergate scandal, the general mood of the country shifted toward mistrust in government, so they tweaked the screenplay to make it a far more serious film with a message, which resulted in one of the finest thrillers of the 70's.

The acting by everyone involved is superb, the casting excellent, and the story excellently told. If I had to compare it to anything, it really feels like a 1970's prequel to the Bourne Conspiracy.

The story focuses on Joe Turner, a bookish CIA analyst codenamed "Condor" who works at the American Literary Historical Society in New York City, which is actually a clandestine CIA office. The staff members examine books, newspapers, and magazines from around the world to compare them to actual operations or to mine ideas, and things take off from there.

This is, in my opinion, the best movie I've yet posted to thus community, so if you're lookin' for something to watch tonight, I highly recommend grabbing some snacks and getting stuck in! :)

The paper, in a very funny but serious way, makes a strong case for the relative uselessness of the index finger, and it's recommendation for amputation if it's at all damaged and impeding existence.

 

Consider watching this video with FreeTube, a nifty open-source program that lets you watch YouTube videos without Google spying on your viewing habits!

Combined with Libredirect, which automatically opens youtube links in Freetube, it becomes really slick and effortless to use.
