@freemo Voted for Columbia too, like their gear that I have.

Seems it won the poll. You buying something, mng?

@iankenway This man is frightful. A younger version of the one sitting in the White House atm.

Have been so busy with the fediverse posts that my usual thogough reading news at The Guardian has fallen off the daily rituals.

Hope sense will prevail, it Conservatives get a majority in the Dec 12 election, they will rule and damage the country mercilessly.

*F'ing idiots, that they are*

@chikara Thank you for your post, I am honoured.

I did not know anything about Kintsugi, but the images you posted are wonderful.

The fix makes the object unique, in a way superior to the unbroken original. They remind me of the layers we sometimes can observe in rocks, and wonder how that happened.

Here, the randomness of the fracture lines, the gold colour which is not part of the original, but an important part of the repaired object. Very pretty.

Thank you also for the completeness of your post, linking to sources for further reading and discovery.

Well done! 👍

@binsrc LOL, awesome! Keep an eye for it, after Christmas new stock probably. Good luck!

@binsrc possibly safer to use if you plan to use it on a public wifi network. The watch is kind of attention grabbing. 😜

@binsrc Yeah, the watch is.

They do have the USB stick one though.

@freemo All the parts needed to build this keyboard, in one page. Some options regarding case desired.

Images for the Web, forum posts, etc.

Choose your formats - we can help make faster loading webpages, reduce traffic if we chose the best format for images we include in our posts.

I noticed a lag on loading an image included in another website I linked to (in this status: https://qoto.org/@design_RG/103240153529603948 )

Didn't feel right, and it *wasn't*

I use Irfanview to edit, crop, compress images which I like to include in my posts here.

Had noticed the variations, on how sometimes PNG can produce significantly smaller files than the older JPEG format.

Sometimes it's the opposite - JPEG handles life imagery, more complex, better, giving smaller finished images.

Make a point to chose the best format - and be part of keeping things running as fast as possible.

A couple of examples follow, the original page image was a PNG, weighing a hefty *600 KiloBytes*, a bit too much for me.

See the Information boxes for the original PNG, and the improved JPEG, MUCH smaller.

I use the RIOT plugin with Irfanview, and it's a great combo. Both free, small, easy to learn and use. Recommended!

@freemo I think that's a nice way to be - there are many wonderful possible partners. Being open and available to chance encounters is good.

VPN status shows me 600 MB of down traffic, 7 hours session. No large downloads, just web pages.

Wowa.

https://protonvpn.com has excellent service and a FREE account option. 😉

@freemo No Mrs. Freemo then, huh?

I have good memories of mine, was in the morning, a simple affair, we had a breakfast served after. Low key and we could afford it.

Long time ago, now Bridezillas are a thing.

@freemo I find the big produced weddings hard to suffer through.

Poor grooms, and everyone else, at the bride's mercy. Ugh.

@binsrc Not sure who made it, but was posted at HT.

@freemo you are right, it's not.

Amazing #BletcheleyPark vibe, though!
