Exactly this, it’s a last resort measure. More important is that every passive cooling option needs to be tried: outside shutters, more big green around the buildins, minimize concrete and asphalt around buildings, closing and airing at best times, etc. Some people just skip all that and go airco, especially in the USA. They are actively adding more BS to the shitstorm that is climate change.
Why would they need more airco when many houses and apartments still don’t even have proper shutters for windows and many people still don’t know you should keep your windows closed during peak heat hours, many roofs still barely insulated and they turned all their yards and driveways into concrete and asphalt hellscapes. A nice adult tree in your yard does more than an airco, fight me.
ok, it worked… the problem was appearantly that is was using xrdp to remotely login to a desktop session, and then for some reason the filepicker crashes: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/file-chooser-does-not-open-for-flatpak-applications-f40-sway/126351/4
I did not use the bandaid workaround, but instead gained access to the device directly instead of remote desktopping and then the file or folderpicker worked just fine…
Thanks, this is great help indeed. I rarely use flatpak, not very familiar with it. It turns out the home folder was already allowed for Nicotine+, the issue appears to be that Nicotine+ is not allowed to “call” the opening of the dialog box to select the folder to use as shared…
It’s not out of the ordinary for EU as a whole either.
I’m also guessing it’s actually lower, almost all larger German cities are all very livable without car with fine public transport, but a lot of city people do own an old VW-van or similar for holidays, which is often not used much in regular daily life.
Public torrents suck for music these days. Little available and a lot that is there is FLAC only, no mp3-320
Definitely impossible for most tracks. Possible for some, but at high costs. Germans have been upgrading some lines for decades now… The best (worst) example being the north-south towards Basel. For high speed the paths need to be further apart from eachother, there need to be better barriers between tracks and what’s around them, the curves indeed need to be wider, the ‘tilt’ in the track in curves might need to be adjusted too… All of which leads to necessity of many new bridges and tunnels where this upgrading is impossible due to surroundings. It costs many millions of € per km and many decades to accomplish. The French on the other hand mainly went for “build new lines”, it was clearly the better approach to get shit done fast (tho skipping many possible stops altogether on the new lines).
Not necessarily. The divisions in middle east today have roots to end of WW1 and collapse of Ottoman empire and decline of British empire. There would still be a shit load of oil in middle east. There would still be limited amount of water… It could be very different, which countries ally, what kind of regimes etc, but not necessarily more peaceful region as a whole.
The way the economy in the soviet union was micromanaged in super centralised way was key to its collapse, especially the final 10-15 years. Soviet Union did have great innovation spurs in IT, rocketry, etc but it was impossible to diversify said innovations further, impossible to mass market it, impossible to mass export it. The centralised economic system lagged enormously and was incredibly inefficient, 1 town having 500000 jackets but no shoes, other town having 100000 chandeliers but no food etc. On top there was really really high levels of corruption. The economic model was essential in the demise of the Soviet Union, once they let go of some regulations a tiny bit, it all fell apart fast. China paid attention, they keep trying to waggle between statecontrolled and free market… They are well aware similar risks still exist in their state-owned companies to this day.
What’s the name of the app you tried?
the coordinates aren’t there i think, but there are github projects out there that “detect” the panels and suggest split based on that. For most of the panels of most of the comics, that would be more than enough to do a clean split. I just can’t find a real relatively easily deployable service that incorporates it.

The main mess is genres. That is non existent in the folder structure (I do have it: artist > albums), and still very hard with Picard etc. But genres is very convenient for Autoplay, auto generate shuffle playlists
A good movie in 720p will always be a good movie. A crappy movie with shitty story and shitty acting will still suck in 4K or 8K or 4D or whatever will come. Like good vinyl LPs from 60s-70s never really went bad if they were well taken care of…
It’s quite a theoretical approach. Antwerp has a lot of 30 kmh streets, but you shouldn’t expect cars to actually follow the rules in many of them. Same with many bicycle streets: it’s not allowed, but you’ll be overtaken A LOT by cars in those streets…
I only once encountered it in Czechia near Plzen with 2 lanes. Think it took me 5 minutes before I could/dared. Can’t imagine it with 3. Crazy dangerous situation. Stay safe!
Tho not preferable, there’s cases where it can work. The roundabout layout still provides a better (easier) entry to the crossroads, the traffic lights can create a “cadence”. Technically not a roundabout anymore, it does use some of it’s qualities.
Anyhow, pedestrian crossings on 2 lanes right before any kind of intersection without any lights is way more dangerous than a roundabout with lights.
Pedestrian crossing without traffic lights at a 2 lane roundabout entry? That’s just murderous design.
That’s happening in Paris. Some other cities are moving in right direction too, some installing new trams from zero etc. Most bigger cities have subways. But you should try visiting rural France without a car… Not a butcher or a bakery left for many kilometers/villages around, only big roadside Malls with an enormous supermarket and some fake little “shops” at the entrance. Many rural villages are dead and without a car you’re screwed big time. This is where the Gilet Jaunes came from.
War sucks. Drones are really messed up, everyone permanently watched, day and night nowhere to hide, every lawnmower-sound in the distance might be the last you ever hear. And it’s not even autonomous swarm drones yet…
Well in places like UK, people are installing AC instead of trying many other, passive cooling options first. They don’t plant a single shrub next to their building but do put in highly inefficient portable AC units meanwhile asphalting/concreting there driveways… That’s exactly what got me on my high horse. AC can be needed, but it’s definitely not the first way to go in a northern-ish European place if the building doesn’t have outside shutters, very non green streets around etc. It’s not the miracle solution, AC adds to climate change, other ways of dealing with heat do not.
