Just a heads up that tire longevity is not a good indicator for a good tire, the primary factor is grip. In both both dry, wet and soaking wet conditions, warm and cold. That's why stopping distance and slalom speeds are tested during the annual tire comparison review. A good tire can also pump more water to prevent aqua planing than a bad tire. A good tire will remain more soft and grippy in colder temperatures than a bad tire. Tire noise and ride comfort can also differ between good and bad tired.

Doing stuff that makes it easier to deploy and maintain KDE/Linux for enterprises and other large organisations, like government institutions, where an IT department does centralised management of the computer (updates, access policy, restrictions, printer configurations etc etc)

And you can export to PNG with the source XML embedded in the PNG metadata, effectively making it an editable PNG

Firefox also has ODF annotation tools, not just viewing. The annotation icons aren't super clear tho

Is this an US-specific problem?

Monthly salaries with hourly compensation for overtime is a thing too

Power strips can be grounded or ungrounded.

This particular power strip has ground pins on the outlets, but they're not connected to anything , making the power strip both dangerous and illegal. OP should notify the seller and relevant authorities.

The bing index is one of their sources for search results (although a major one yes).

From Wikipedia:

... including Bing, Yahoo! Search BOSS, Wolfram Alpha, Yandex, and its own web crawler (the DuckDuckBot)

Just bring regular "charging bricks", virtually all modern ones support 110-240 V 50-60Hz. Just check their label first to make sure. (my electric toothbrush with inductive charging is my only charger that's 240V only, everything else is 110-240V).

Stepdown transformers are specialist equipment, not something you can expect to find in any random hotel.

The closest is the "shaving port" some hotel bathrooms have, but that is very limited in power and obviously only in the bathroom which is inconvenient.

Thanks for sharing the knowledge:)

Honestly 20km/h seems kinda slow. As a kid I'd do 20-25, and these days most European countries have a 25km/h limit on e-bikes. So 20km/h seems just low enough to be a hindrene.

Ultimately it depends on the bicycle lane or road though, just like for cars. There a huge difference between a crowded narrow inner-city cycle lane with immediate adjacent houses and other things obstructing vision, compared to a suburban cycle path with less traffic and completely unobstructed vision

 

On windows, Notepad++ compare plugin let's you compare unsaved files. So to compare two texts copied from elsewhere, just make two new tabs and paste the texts. Compare plugin will happily compare line by line.

On Linux I havent found something similar. The closes is Kate, but you still have to save tmp1.txt and tmp2.txt , and remove the clutter when finished.

Does anybody know a compare app that just lets you paste two text blocks without saving files first?

 

What are the pros and cons of using Named vs Anonymous volumes in Docker for self-hosting?

I've always used "regular" Anonymous volumes, and that's what is usually in official docker-compose.yml examples for various apps:

volumes:
  - ./myAppDataFolder:/data

where myAppDataFolder/ is in the same folder as the docker-compose.yml file.

As a self-hoster I find this neat and tidy; my docker folder has a subfolder for each app. Each app folder has a docker-compose.yml, .env and one or more data-folders. I version-control the compose files, and back up the data folders.

However some apps have docker-compose.yml examples using named volumes:

services:
  mealie:
    volumes:
      - mealie-data:/app/data/
volumes:
  mealie-data:

I had to google documentation https://docs.docker.com/engine/storage/volumes/ to find that the volume is actually called mealie_mealie-data

$ docker volume ls
DRIVER    VOLUME NAME
...
local     mealie_mealie-data

and it is stored in /var/lib/docker/volumes/mealie_mealie-data/_data

$ docker volume inspect mealie_mealie-data
...
  "Mountpoint": "/var/lib/docker/volumes/mealie_mealie-data/_data",
...

I tried googling the why of named volumes, but most answers were talking about things that sounded very enterprise'y, docker swarms, and how all state information should be stored in "the database" so you shouldnt need to ever touch the actual files backing the volume for any container.

So to summarize: Named volumes, why? Or why not? What are your preferences? Given the context that we are self-hosting, and not running huge enterprise clusters.
