An aside, my 8yo son used Porco Rosso as the subject of a school speech about a favourite film. I was surprised how few of the themes were lost on him, especially those of war, comradeship, and the other side of every coin. Not to mention those points that only a child discovering the world can savour, that I'd missed myself (or at least misplaced since I first saw the film at around his age in the 90s).

A version of this that supported PKE would be cool. So you don't have to share a password in a side channel

It's a reasonable guess but wrong. My dad is a carpenter and my mum is an artist. Dad was helping build houses up there for one of the government building contractors. Mum was along for the ride.

Edit: And not that it really matters, but neither of my folks are religious.

My parents lived in the highlands in PNG in the late 70s and early 80s and my dad still speaks pidgin (mostly with his current neighbours who are from Port Moresby the capital). I've heard of lot of amazing (and pretty wild!) stories over the years. And met some interesting folk who up were up there with them - locals, missionaries and others. But despite our childhood being fairly steeped in PNG culture - and my name being from there, after a local who used to work with my dad - the closest I've been myself is the Torres Strait :/

Very cool but looks like it's only aggregating European data (on top of a low res planet basemap). Also is pmtiles useful for satellite imagery?

Not sure this takes away from his arguments? If anything the Wikipedia article sets him up as an expert on the subject?

Both performance and mechanics of the knobs :|

Love the Winamp feature - but more so that it comes with milkdrop! That is next level.

What would YouTube music support look like? And another random feature request - universal playlist import / export (i.e. take my YouTube playlist and convert it to Spotify and vice versa - Rosetta stone style)

Thanks - this post reminded me to enter some sightings from yesterday into eBird (yes, another Cornell Lab birding app). A pair of rainbow bee eaters that I hadn't seen in the area before.

Came to say birdnet is fantastic but, at least in Australia, it regularly identifies calls with low probability (which are often wrong / skewed for location, but sometimes correct). Meaning you still need some wits about you. That said, it can correctly identify multiple birds in a single chorus which is cool. Just need to keep an eye out for those false positives.

Also have a 10 pro .. but the AI-enhanced zoom goes up to 100x and is actually pretty handy for working out what tiny things in the distance actually are ... even if it's only a representation of that thing. Often use it for identifying birds, boats, etc.

I'm still using my remarkable from 2020. Has been receiving updates since AFAIK. Happy customer.

Strong agree. I don't read the newsletter every week (they're long!) but when I do find the time I'm always blown away. Whether it's a playlist of short films / film makers I never would have heard of, a deep dive into a series of style or -like yesterday - a colourist I have absolutely overlooked despite being an acknowledged Ghibli fan. Highly recommend subscribing.

... doesn't support Firefox mobile apparently :D

Sorry should have been clearer, in winter there's no aircon (but also no heating, it's 20-25 deg c) and the pool pump runs approx 50%

Forget 3hrs free. We lived in the tropics in Australia with a ~6kW system and often had negative quarterly invoices (i.e. got paid by our retailer) ... esp. in winter months. Aircon, pool, appliances all electric. At the very least the pool pump ran free all year round.

Edit: should add, that's straight solar no battery
