As Wikipedia starts removing archive.today as a source for its business practices, I see that when I go into alternate sources on a post, I have that as an option. I can't see where to change the options to remove it, but I'm not sure I want it there.

Can this be changed or is there a plan to remove?

After a long time on the shelf I went back to DRG yesterday with my 16 year old, both taking unfamiliar classes. After playing Engineer near exclusively I've gone Gunner and he's gone Scout from Driller.

Ooh man I have forgotten every key, every trick, everything, and the reduced mobility of gunner is taking some getting used to, especially trying to keep up with a scout!

Still fun though. Loooong cave system for the big amber rock things.

A project I keep thinking about for my kitchen when I get it done up is an approximate clock display, so an eink display showing something like

https://kenlim.github.io/pyWordyClock/

Or similar. I guess the latter running on a Pi of some description.

I would be new to most of this, can anyone point me to a good way of getting started?

I'd like to be able to get a rating of whether an article I'm reading is likely to be LLM generated or not, as a measure of how much I should trust it. Ideally I'd like this in my browser as an extension alongside UBlock and consent-o-matic.

Does anyone know if such a thing exists? I found Winston from a quick review of the extension store but it is a paid extension and I'd rather something free.

When my board games group come over, we move my drop leaf kitchen table to the living room where there is more space, and expand it to full size, which is about 780mm x 1200mm. We get a game out and start to set up...

At that point, the two people on the short edges start to complain that they don't have enough room, their stuff overhangs the table etc etc.

3 solutions have occurred to me so far:

1. Get new friends. Possible but takes time and there's no guarantee that new friends won't also complain
2. Buy a new table. I've looked at UK based shops for drop leaf tables but the ones that give more space won't fit through doors
3. Make a table topper to sit on top of the kitchen table and provide a larger surface

Number 3 is clearly the one I've brought here because although it's a grand idea I'm not sure how to go about it.

Material

It's games night, there's drinks involved. Something that doesn't mind a bit of water seems like an idea, maybe moisture resistant MDF? Not too expensive, easy to get hold of. Thickness 18mm so there's no flex?

Size

Not too big but clearly needs to be bigger than the table it's covering, probably 1000mm x 1220mm

Top

I was thinking about tacking felt to the top for a proper gaming surface, is that sensible or overkill

Fixing

The tricky bit, I don't want it to slide about on top of the table when we're playing and someone leans on it. Equally the kitchen table spends 99% of it's time being just that so I don't want to drill into it on the top. Will non-slip mat be enough or do I need clamps/hooks/bolts?

Any ideas from the hive mind gratefully received!

Okay so I'm not really sure how to describe this, I use graphene and ente for my photos which works great. On my phone, when I go into Signal or WhatsApp and try to attach a photo, I don't get ente as an option for where to get photos from so I can't get to my gallery in that way.

Is there a thing I need to do to tell the os that ente is the place for photos?

Thanks!

I'm going travelling in a week or two and decided to dig out my old Canon 350D dslr, from the early days of consumer digital cameras before the rise of the smartphone.

It's definitely older than I remember, although maybe so am I! 8 mega pixel, with a 512Mb compact flash card.

On the other hand, I have a perfectly serviceable OnePlus 7T, obviously newer, not cutting edge any more but fine.

What do people think? Go retro or stick to the modern?

I'm thinking this should be marked NSFW...

This just started happening today so probably something I've changed in the settings but I don't know what. Whenever I take a "back" action, the phone keyboard pops up. This is true if I swipe on my phone (system default action), or press back in the top left of the screen.

I've tried toggling the swipe to go back in the settings but it doesn't seem to impact this one.

Any ideas gratefully received, it's quite annoying

From a live Renault app, I'm always amazed the car companies' apps are so bad, it's not like they're short of a bob or two to spend on getting it right.

Love this one, it all fits so well together!

Fed yesterday, 2 hours at room temp and then in the fridge. She's actually got a bit bigger than I would like already so maybe straight in the fridge next time?
