The forgiveness part is not valid for the building authority. They absolutely force people to destroy adjuncts/garden sheds that have 0.3m² than the rule and have been build in the 70ies.

Yeah, that depends heavily on local ordinances and state law. A friend has been trying to get one for years now.

CO2 is especially important in the first years as you will put new/mixed soil on it - which has a lot of more organic material in it which is now exposed to O2 and will rot - generating CO2. I work in a wine region as a paramedic and we had more than similar cases.

For the love of god, install a good CO2_O2 detector, especially for the initial phase that can be crucial.

BTW: How hard was it to get a permit for this thing?

You can buy these ready made,btw. The kiddo has a few,they are great.

Yeah,but it's possible - maybe not everything,but for a lot of components it is possible.

I'd love to buy a Fairphone. But sadly it is behind in so many features,that I simply can't.

-no water proof (sadly a requirement in my profession)

-no wireless charging (why? just why? There is no good reason for them to not include that, especially as it is finally adopted by a lot of spaces, e.g. in airline seats,etc.)

  • mediocre camera

I counted the days towards Fairphone releasing the featureset of the Fairphone 5 and was so disappointed.

I am up for other recommendations, though.The first person to name google will be downvoted,though. I literally wrote my lawyer yesterday as they are treating service cases in a illegal manner.

Todays results:

  • Diarrhea for a week. Didn't think he needs to see a GP but today he felt it does not get better and he needs to see someone now.

  • Diarrhea and didn't feel good. Yeah. That's it.

  • Had a fall three days ago. Now the elbow hurts. Does not want to go to the GP/ED,but now the daughter has arrived and basically forced the patient.

  • Fall. Zero injuries. But the nursing home wanted to get

  • Another fall yesterday. Zero pain when not moving, minimal pain in slight bruise.

To be fair we had a massive multi vehicle (5 cars) accident as the last call (5min before the end of our shift) that required helicopter backup and everything (severe brain, spine, thorax and abdo trauma). But still...

Nah, that's seriously sick. Would absolutely be a warranted call for me.

Currently working on one. Shifts nearly over. Am a CritCare certified provider.

Didn't see a single remotely sick patient today even though we ran calls back to back for most of the day.

Absolutely - me,too.

But, to play the optimist for once - Canva could bring some good to Affinity/Serif. Canva is available as a native linux app and Serif in the past has stated multiple times it's mainly the lack of Linux resources and experience that stops them from providing Linux support. So maybe that could be a good influence.

Canva also has a workflow that is based on a webapp that is more "beginner friendly" than Affinity and a good integration between these services could be a good thing as it may remove barriers.

And Canva for a long time had a desire to provide a full production workflow, so maybe affinity gets the long missing library features.

BUT: Now enough with that optimism, sadly I am rather sure enshitification is around the corner. Which will be a sad day for me.

Had a lengthy mail exchange on that topix with them - before them being bought, though.

While they don't plan a native Linux version they absolutely were open to optimise towards better Wine usability - which I totally could live with for now.

But I have no idea how the buying by Canva influenced things - Canva does have a linux app so maybe there are more resources and a different focus now.

Blue-Ray Discs are basically the only viable WORM (Write-Once-Read-Many) that is available to normal and small scale professional users. The cheapest alternative, Tandberg RDX is a few hundred bucks per TB. And these are far inferior in terms of protection against outside influences compared to BD media.

And considering that a lot of professional data (e.g. tax reports) are legally required to be saved on WORM in a lot of countries it is indeed an issue, even more so in times of crypto/ransomviruses. None wants to loose their precious baby or wedding photos to a untimely virus. And no, normal Dropbox/OneDrive is no proper backup. And USB drives/external harddrives degrade over time, especially if not used.
