Would also be great if the new comments would be highlighted.

It once landed on a ledge above the deposit, so you only needed to drop the bombs.

As far as I know Lemmy stores only text locally and images and such will be linked to the external instance. Text doesn't use much disk space, so that shouldn't be a big a problem. Sometimes when you browse Lemmy, you notice posts that have broken links to images. It's because the other instance is down, but you can still see the text portion of the posts on your home instance.

There's also pornlemmy.com. You don't need to be logged in to view posts and there's no anime/hentai or aigen stuff.

 

There's a new firmware for Kindles from 7th gen Paperwhite to the newest Kindle basic. Newest firmware for Scribe is 5.16.2 (May 2023).

Release notes are very short and very generic:

Version 5.16.2.1 – June 2023

Here's what's new:

Performance improvements, bug fixes, and other general enhancements.

Not listed in release notes, but there is now a button for annotations, that I don't think were there before.

Have you noticed any other changes or improvements?

Did you just ask that has Reddit ever given anything back to their volunteers, besides sticks, rocks and ill will?

Hogfather has a two part TV movie adaptation. It's pretty good, I think. But it's a Christmas movie, so I don't know if you want to watch it middle of summer.

It's available on YouTube, but split to four parts for some reason: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcGPPeBbIv0KY_r7QS_a5c_A0uX19pMhB

It's all inline images. I assume the devs haven't implemented image markdown yet.

That's similar to this all in one tea brewer:

Glass tea brewer pitcher where leaves are in the top compartment and tea liquor in the bottom compartment

You put the leaves in to the top compartment. Add some water, and when the tea is ready, you press the button at the top to let the tea liquor fall to the lower compartment.

I actually meant this Hario Glass Jumping Teapot:

Hario Glass Jumping Teapot. A medium sized round glass teapot with golden metal mesh filter inside the pot in the spout

But as said, images are deceiving, and it turns out that that pot comes as 500ml and 800ml variations. Hario Europe doesn't seem to sell small teapots anymore, but some vendors might have other, smaller, models.

Not an audio engineer, but I had unshielded (thin) cables in my home speaker setup. If the cables were positioned correctly, everything was fine. Accidentally move them even a little, and there'd be a huge amount of noise, due to power cables going near the speaker cables. Switched to shielded (thick) cables, and there's no noise ever.

That pot also seems to force larger brews.

Pictures are deceiving, and I didn't specify the size. It's 180ml teapot. It's called Hario Asian teapot. I think it's discontinued, but there's a newer model which has a metal fine mesh filter instead of that metal spiral. Fill it to the bottom of the spout and it's about 100ml, which is great for gong fu brewing. Fill up to the bottom of the lid and it's 180ml. But yea... after I got my gaiwan, I haven't used it.

I too use a gaiwan. When I got in to gong fu brewing, I first bought a glass teapot that has a metal strainer in the spout.

Small round glass teapot with a metal strainer in the spout (Hario Asian Teapot)

While it's nice to look at while your leaves brews inside it, it's somewhat annoying to use and clean. The strainer let's small bits through, so you need some kind of filter unless you like those leaf bits in your cup. Small leaf pieces gets stuck in the metal strainer. The spout is so narrow you need some kind of tool to clean it. The lid is annoying to clean. And because it's glass, you see any stains that forms over time. Stains can be removed, but it takes some extra effort.

Gaiwan on the other has so simple form that it's super easy to clean. Most of the leaves will fall off when you turn it upside down and give it a shake. The rest you can dig out with your fingers. You can also see the leaves because the opening is so wide, and it let's you "play" with the leaves using the lid. You can, for example, move the leaves around so that they will steep more evenly.

It takes a while to learn to use gaiwan properly. It might burn your fingers. You will most certainly spill the tea all over the place. But once you get the hang of it, it's a really nice way to make tea.
