#LazyWeb
Daughter's coming back from Japan with 100s of photos & is looking for portable photo printer. I've been out of the printing biz for ~20+ years so I'm reaching out here for recs.

From her:
"I'm mainly looking for scrapbooking reasons, so small prints I can print multiple images onto one print(like 2-3 images on a 6"x4")".

Looking for something that could handle sticky-back & possibly archival stock.

Difficulty: No HP #printers if possible

A #lazyweb #AppleMusic question: What do the bullets that appear next to some tracks signify?

Hey NZ peeps, do you use any of those weekly food boxes? Would you recommend it?

There are a lot of them now, we are considering trying one and got a bit of choice paralysis.

Would prefer a local, ethical business.

Hi #lazyweb! I just fashioned a knob that goes on a #madsen kg271 #cargobike wheel lock. Where do people post models for #3dprinting these days, where the models are findable (implying some amount of centralization), but the site works (last I checked, this means not Thingiverse) and the organization is not toxic in some way? (... is there an #activitypub extension for 3d model sharing? ... someone wanted to do one in 2023, https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/federated-app-space-for-3d-file-sharing-with-complex-tools-and-visualization/3412 ... who were you, Y0z64? WHAT DID YOU SEE? https://xkcd.com/979)

Dear #lazyweb, I need to add analogue joystick control to my #python #CNC program in a way that can be fiddled with and replicated on multiple hardware platforms. The actual CNC bit I have under control. What python library/ies should I look at? Planning on using inexpensive generic gamepads with analogue sticks. Will NOT be using them to control a submersible.

Dear tech mastodon #lazyweb My sister got a #windows 11 laptop 6 months ago or so, and today as we were trying to set up Syncthing between her and me, we discovered that it's of course been intimately entwined in OneDrive, so all her documents are inside c:\Users\username\OneDrive etc and she doesn't like that. What's a good online guide on how to unfuck her computer so that all her folders are stored locally on her computer only?

I still can't understand how a centralised job/networking site in 2025 is still basically the industry standard.
Imagine a federated system for jobs & seekers?

Friends in the #lazyWeb,

What's the best way to re-enable comments on my blog if it's built using @11ty and hosted on Netlify?

I'd love something that's easy to set up + easy to moderate to avoid spam.

Thank you <3

#lazyweb Anyone know of any short (2 - 20 min) #video or #audio #podcasts that I can follow via #rss ? I am open to just about any subject but these get moved to the top of the list: #science #technology #history #astronomy #environment

Even better if they are #indieweb or #smallweb #creators

Hey Aotearoa fedi friends,

What are your favourite kid friendly (5 yo) activities in Rotorua or thereabouts?

Bonus points for outdoors or otherwise covid safe-ish activities.

Asking for our whānau.

How messy is #terraform with #gcp?

I'm trying to make a system where #rust worker ingests data of HTTP requests via #cloudrun, and passes them into #bigtable, which uses further ingestion recipe to export the data into #bigquery

I have tried to make a complete terraform declaration for this, but got into permission issues, then I have tried to make a system that generates all the artefacts like service accounts and docker image and then refers to those from terraform builds, but I almost don't see a value of doing it like that.

Does anyone have an example of #cloudrun #cdc? I am new to this and I feel really slow.

Accidentally listening to #British #christian radio and... They are like... Trashing trump / musk. Supporting #lgbtq? What is going on. Are Christians in this country roughly OK? Genuine question, 4 years here only.

There’s some bloke on here who has information about a Rust conference in Aotearoa. Can someone find that?

Was it @timClicks ?

Hey #lazyweb, what would be interesting (and affordable/cost effective) services to host one's own open source personal AI models (like Gemma, Llamma, Deepseek, etc, from Hugging Face) and run inferences?

Plus if they run on renewable energy.

It seems that markdown killed the desire for implementing wikitext for recent wikis. Everything created after >2010 seems to use markdown and call it a day. Does anyone now of a recent wiki that doesn't use markdown? The only one I can think of is #tiddlywiki

Hey #lazyweb (and #quarkus / #camel folks), it seems I have an issue with initialization order of a camel quarkus route. Can you help me with that StackOverflow question https://stackoverflow.com/q/79596875/15619 (specially for @zbendhiba or @clementplop )

I am using #calibre to manage #ebooks but is there something better I don't know about? #LazyWeb please help!

genuine question #lazyweb #askfedi #writingcommunity

when writing teenage fiction, how many words in a chapter are:

too few?

too many?

It's all fluid, but currently I have as few as 1800, and as many as 4600. There is sufficient scope to split or combine some of the work that's already been done, without disturbing the natural flow of the material.

(and thinking about density, how many words per page? I have no constraints on the dimensions of the book, or the cost of having it printed)
