Recently started rewatching an old uk series called time team. Basically loads of quick short archeological digs, though the tech is a bit dated (geophysics was just available to them for the first series). Its on channel4.com though you might need to vpn to the UK.
As a teenager, it nearly swung me to studying archeology, would definitely recommend.
Depends on the situation. I would accept conscription for myself as a measure of last resort ie. defence. I probably wouldn’t be much use to them anyway so they would have to be really desperate!! I also kind of like how the Swiss military service works, everyone does it, knowing it will probably never be needed… because it teaches life skills etc.
On the other hand I don’t think I could get behind the US conscription for Vietnam or Russia conscription for Ukraine.
!nihilism@lemmy.world was created last week but not much there yet.
There is a community here with suggestions for tools.

I was surprised when I looked into digital nomad visas last year, how cheap an airbnb was to book for a month out of season.
Edit, missed that they said a week or 2
Started American Gods over the weekend before I learned the 12 Monkeys series was on itv player so watching that for the second time… Futurama as well.
Had this myself recently, process explorer still works though. tskill taskmgr.exe would probably work too.
Utterly awful. Text is less readable, navigation is a pain, and to cap it all, they removed the widget that was the only reason to use it.
Why oh, why oh, why bbc!!!
Career wise I find myself in a similar position. Roles in my niche skill set are largely offshore or contract positions now. I don’t like the idea of management. I love doing what I do… fixing bugs, investigating complex problems, not talking to people for days!!
I have been debating trainer or tester roles. There is also Scrum master as a possibility but I think that would be too regimented for me, there doesn’t seem to be much scope to adapt the scrum model for different situations - at least the way my employer does it!
Just some ideas, I don’t have much good advice as I’m spinning my wheels without a clear direction at the moment.
While I concede your general point on the practicalities of responsible pet ownership and exotic pets, I imagine that what you are saying about vets be fairly region specific. Indoor birds are the 3rd most popular pet in the UK… albeit with only 3% of households as cats and dogs dominate here. There are 2 vets that service birds within 2 miles of me and one is an exotic specialist. Location was not specified so I suggested some of the more common options if the most popular ones are not suitable.
Guinea pig maybe (perhaps a larger breed) although you might still be allergic). I find rabbits aren’t really that interested in playing but don’t know about guinea pigs. If fur is totally out, maybe something like an iguana (but the only one i know of is jubjub on the simpsons). I think this would depend where you live as well. Birds like budgies could be good but the only experience I have is of friends pets, and they stank.
I’m imagining a use case of finding people buried in collapsed buildings with wifi, or is it just detecting movement… I didn’t quite understand the science bit.
In connect, there is “about instance” option in the ellipsis menu of a community list. On the next screen there should be a “view communities” option. However, selecting a community on there doesn’t always go to the right one.
I have a vague recollection that inkscape maybe able to handle webp conversion… the alternative could be to display it and take a screenshot that you can save any way you want.
Edit: scratch that it can’t… I used cloudconvert.com the last time I did that.
Lemmy is very much in its infancy as a product. And I suspect they may have been ill prepared for the reddit influx.
So far it seems to have held up surprisingly well thanks to the federated architecture.
At this point any thought into the topic is good. Lemmy is going to rely on people who do the thinking, the coding and the hosting if its going to survive as a non commercial product.
The Sync for reddit dev is working on a lemmy version but its a few weeks away. I’m using connect till then… the current version is pretty good and similar enough to sync for my uses.
I’m about as far from being an expert as there can be but as a programmer I would say that the main consideration would be load… if you were to migrate the contents, is it 50 posts or 50,000. If its just users moving in and starting a new empty community, they can spread themselves over many instances anyway. But you still have to think about how much they are posting and how frequently.
I am not aware whether there are metrics available by instance as to how much they “can support”. Of course cloud hosted instances could expand infinitely, but are limited by the budget. If you anticipate a high load then perhaps talking to the instance owners of the larger ones would be appropriate.
On the flip side, the instance listing could include these metrics or instance owners could set a bio of what their capabilities are or what they can handle.
Another consideration would be what else they host… you don’t want to find your instance defederated for trolls or other nastiness in other communities. That said, if its an nsfw sub, you probably should go to one of the nsfw instances.
Think I prefer the top logo but with the sharing of the bottom
Search term “mini usb2 to usbc” on amazon UK came back with a good list… brands easyult and nfhk. No clue how good they are or if they would be available in EU/CH.
