I don’t really think mastodon needs those 5% to produce content to entertain and advertise a userbase of 95% lurkers. For me it’s definitely a bonus that they’re not there - I don’t need influencer-shit in my feed.

If that kind of content creator and passive user goes to Bluesky that’s fine. If they went to mastodon we’d just see calls for an algorithm, which would be directly against what I want in the platform.

Problem with algorithms showing popular content is that once you have them, you’ll have people trying to use them to make money. And by extension people trying to manipulate you for profit. Doesn’t have to be the platform itself doing it for it to be harmful.

I also ferment some of my alcohol to vinegar, it’s easy with cider which is my main homebrew thing. I use a mother I already have, though, not a wild mother.

Maybe pectin?

I’ve never had it, the closest thing I can think of is a vinegar mother, but you’d definitely notice that.

Hopefully you brewed more than one bottle 😁

That said, I’ve decided I will no longer brew less than 20 litre batches because the cleaning is the same…

The choice of yeast should be influenced by what you want the end result to taste like.

For my champagne-like ciders with oak and based on belle de boskoop juice I use EC-1118. For my sweeter ciders backsweetened with erythritol I use Nottingham Ale yeast. For my summer-cider based in Discovery & Red Aroma apples and crab apple juice I do a wild ferment.

So the question is more - what are you trying to accomplish?

Well, she’s 12 and likes to play roblox and do funny voice edits on her videos. As I am sure you can guess, it’s stuff like one-click voice modulation which is the big selling point of CapCut for her. So I am guessing ease of use and the ability to at least create and save audio editing presets and do texts and so on is paramount.

I agree that this is not really a need that foss tries to fill which is ok. We tried kdenlive but it seems a little advanced for her needs and wants. I tried Vidcutter and it seems a little too simple (feature-wise, the usability was nice).

We just took a look at ShotCut which seems alright, but I think I am more into it than she is. I hope I can convince her to take a look at it. Thanks!

I’ve been on the beta for this, and it’s a fantastic feature. I bought a Steam Deck and added it to my family with a separate account and it’s been so incredibly convenient for us as a family.

Happens to be true in all modern western countries though, only the US seems unable to force companies to pay a livable minimum wage.

You should tell her this, basically, and also you guys can call each other. She’s probably also going to miss you heaps, although she’ll also have a new world to explore.

I did go for that 😁 was a simple checkbox in the router settings.

Thanks - I have an icotera i4850 router which claims to support NAT loopback, but I can’t figure out where to do it and it seems like the manual is gone from the internet :) Might have to ask my internet provider if they have a PDF somewhere.

Edit: D’oh, it’s a checkbox in the port forwarding interface! Thanks a bunch, didn’t know what to look for before your reply :)

You should revisit Space Haven, it is improving every month.

Never heard of Immich, but it looks absolutely amazing.

We use it as a console every week, both me and the kids.

You have a point, thx

Thank you, I was able to connect by editing the configuration as suggested in the other comment 🙂

Wonderful, thank you :)

I did see that mentioned in the comments in the file, but I was under the impression that I was using DNS via my simply.com domain DNS-record. Thanks!

That’s how I use my steam deck - a dell dock & some controllers
