There are plenty of people who think open source is sexy.

[–] hsl@wayfarershaven.eu 2 points 2 years ago

Removing as it's not an open question and because we have lots of discussions around downvoting.

[–] hsl@wayfarershaven.eu 0 points 2 years ago

We've had plenty of variations on this topic recently. Removing per rule #4.

The third book puts such a beautiful cherry atop the whole series

Phew! I just have the third book left but I'm both looking forward to and dreading it.

I've just finished cleaning up my Calibre library and switched to the Story Graph - I really like the filters for figuring out what to read next.

Currently reading The Lefthanded Booksellers of London by Garth Nix. I've been trying to avoid YA content but picked this up as a palette refresh. So far, I'm enjoying the world-building and the snappy dialogue.

I just blew through the Gild series by Raven Kennedy - it was a random Story Graph recommendation but apparently it's huge on Booktok. I generally enjoyed it, particularly the world-building and character development. The fourth book dragged as there's a lot of set up for the final book (to be published) in the series.

And of course, Dungeon Crawler Carl, book 6! It's getting very complex but the core elements that drew me to it are still there. How in the world is this going to end?

I read the ebook because I wanted to know what happened. It was great and now I'm seriously considering reading it again when the audio book comes out because they did such a good job.

Loved this series growing up - definitely formative and probably part of my gateway into fantasy. On this vein, I can also recommend the Song of the Lioness by Tamara Pierce.

I haven't read the new book that you've mentioned but will check it out!

I really want a waffle now.

Locking this thread under rule #2 - we don't have the bandwidth to mod a political discussion. If you want to have this discussion, please use one of the communities speficially for that purpose.

This is more of a support question, related to using Lemmy. Please see the sidebar for a list of communities that offer support. Removing under rule #3.

Yeti here, too - must be at least three years now. The base has a few dents but otherwise going strong.

 

Good luck staying cool during this heatwave!

She had fun 😊

 
 

I read the comic a few years back and loved it. When I heard Netflix had picked it up, I crossed my fingers so hard. I've forgotten where I saw the comment, but it was something along the lines that the movie is a polished, cleaned up version. I can't agree more - what a fun, moving, gorgeous treat!

Have you read the comic or seen the movie? What did you think?

I added a search option to a community's sidebar - this will be helpful to find past answers but also to check and see if someone has already asked that question recently.

For example, here are the latest posts on password managers: https://lemmy.ml/search?q=password&type=Posts&listingType=All&communityId=8&page=1&sort=TopAll

I've set it to search through Lemmy.ml - this has the pro that it will be able to find all content because it's a local community. It has the con that most people won't be able to interact directly with the content as they are not subscribed via their own instance.

I was hoping to use a relative search URL and search through the user's instance. This won't work as each instance numbers the communities differently: the communityId on Lemmy.ml is different than on my own instance.

Is this helpful for anyone? Do you have any suggestions on how to improve it further?

Requesting /c/fantasy (wayfarershaven.eu)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by hsl@wayfarershaven.eu to c/community_requests@lemmy.ml
 

I'd like to be set as a mod for !fantasy@lemmy.ml, please. The current mod hasn't had any activity in the past three years and we'd like to add a banner, icon, etc.

I checked in with the community and have only had positive reactions: https://lemmy.ml/post/1919428

This community's subject area also isn't the best fit for Lemmy.ml. I'd be happy to move it to a more suitable instance if and when that option becomes available.

Mods for community? [solved] (wayfarershaven.eu)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by hsl@wayfarershaven.eu to c/fantasy@lemmy.ml
 

I realized that the mod for this community is @ht_@lemmy.ml - they created the community three years ago but don't seem to have had any activity since. @ht_@lemmy.ml, are you around?

Barring a response, I'd like to see this community have at least one and preferably a few active mods. It doesn't really need much most of the time but it would be nice to take care of our own duplicate posts and have a small team in place in case anything arises. It would also be nice to have a community icon and banner.

I'm happy to take this on - I already mod !fountainpens@wayfarershaven.eu and !asklemmy@lemmy.ml, two very different communities - feel free to take a look at the mod logs for an idea of how I do things. !fountainpens@wayfarershaven.eu would be the better comparison because I don't really need to do much there. At the end of the day, I'd like to see the community well supported.

Does anyone have any concerns with me reaching out to the admins for this? And would anyone else want to be a mod?

 
 

I recently started using a tablet and pen (Wacom Intuos S if you're curious) for work and I cannot keep track of the pen - it's slim, black, and blends in with my desk. I know that this is the fountain pen community rather than an ergonomics community, but I bet you all have tips for a pen stand/holder. What do you use to keep your pen(s) close at hand?

 

I love that Diamine works together with the community to create new inks.

These have been out for a few months - have you had a chance to try them out? What did you think?

Note: linked to a different Youtube front-end to avoid the Youtube interface. The video is rather incidental to the post and meant to show off the inks if you haven't yet seen them.
