Well, I took another look, and I don't think neovim is for me. I looked at installing one of the dependencies, and the dependency had dependencies, and I don't know how to install any of it. Oh well!

The spreadsheet I use is really easy. I can do it on my phone while I'm traveling, too.

Right now I have all of my soaps, blades, etc. in a Google Sheets. I can copy/paste, or export to whatever they allow. Maybe I'll tinker with it later.

Oh this is great. I can't wait to see how it turns out. I truly hope there are some confused idiots when it switches over, although they'll probably believe everything and not recognize that it's satire.

I took a quick look at sotd.nvim and I might be deterred by the json formatting. Json is great and everything, but that would be pretty tedious for me!

Is there a json tool where you can copy in a spreadsheet and it'll try and format it for you?

they believe he may now be in Eastern Europe.

Has anyone checked if he's on lemmy.ml?

The Flying Wing is actually my favorite GEM at the moment. It's the mildest one I own, except maybe the Damaskeene.

Have you smelled Puros? It's definitely a good combo. I ended up throwing or giving away my Puros soap because it was garbage, but the aftershave isn't bad and smells great.

Really? That's an odd thing for them to change, but what do I know.

I didn't see any major bugs, and I confirmed with our auto-bot developer that that software will work with the new version, so cross your fingers.

I'm also working on a fancy uptime page which you can see here https://uptime.splettnet.com/status/wetshaving (URL subject to change).

RE: BS products from massive corporations, I'm with you for sure.

RE: soap is soap - there are lots of different types of soap. Each type of fat has differing amounts of loric acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, etc. Lard makes a soap that's a good firmness (not too soft, not too hard), not very cleansing (so it won't dry your skin out, but also won't do much hard cleaning), very conditioning, not very bubbly, but very creamy. Other fats/oils yield much different results. Soaps with a lot of coconut oil are very cleansing, so they'll dry your skin out. Your soap sounds like it could be used daily without any problems.

So, I disagree that soap is soap. Soap that's made specifically for shaving typically has a lot of added stearic acid, because no natural fats have enough natural stearic acid to produce a really stable lather that won't dissipate during the shave. Most use a lot of beef tallow, but there are also a lot of vegan options.

If it's the best soap you've ever used, that would negate the claim that soap is soap. I'm happy you've found something you like.

There are always people in all hobbies that think it's their way or the highway (no offense, but your comments have that tone to them).

I try to avoid that and just share what I enjoy.

One of the biggest things I hear is "cartridges cause irritation and DE razors don't!". That is 100% false and I disagree with it. Still, I love using DE razors and would recommend them to anyone interested in "enjoying" shaving.

Sounds like you have it all figured out for yourself.

I use artisan shave soap because they work extremely well and smell awesome. Commercial soap also works well, but there isn't as much variety in the smell department. I have a handful of brushes and I use whichever one I feel like on a given day. They all offer something unique.

I use aftershave for the same reason you mentioned. Aloe sounds like it'd be sticky and unpleasant for my skin type.

 

Sup everyone. Hope you're all enjoying the season of decorative gourds.

I know a lot of you just use mobile apps (yay, mobile apps!), but for the few that also use a web browser, I've been slowly rolling out alternative "front ends". The normal URL (https://sub.wetshaving.social/) has the default front end. It is honestly pretty good, if not a tad dated.

Most recently we brought online https://old.wetshaving.social/, which is designed to look like old.reddit.com. Even though I'm used to that layout from real-reddit, I'm still finding it a bit lacking for Lemmy, especially from a moderator point of view.

Next, we want to introduce the Alexandrite front end. @[email protected] already uses this, accessible from https://alexandrite.app/sub.wetshaving.social. Feel free to check it out there until we get ours behind https.

Anyway, we want to run our own instance of Alexandrite, which will be locked to our lemmy server, simplifying the experience for people like @[email protected].

All that is to say, we need a URL to put it behind.

So far, the suggestions are:

gem.wetshaving.social - Alexandrite is named after a gem on the devs wife's ring, and of course there's the GEM connection with our hobby.
alx.wetshaving.social
new.wetshaving.social - simply the opposite of old.wetshaving.social

Please leave your ideas, good or bad. Often our worst ideas turn out to be great, so don't be shy.

THANKS!

 

Do you miss the layout of OLD reddit? Do you wish Lemmy looked liked that? Well, check this out... https://old.wetshaving.social

Maybe someone will find it enjoyable to use.

There are some limitations to this front-end, but I don't know enough about it yet to give any advice.

Technical details:

This front-end is called "mlmym". https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym

Like everything else with Lemmy, it might break in the future. All it does is change how stuff is displayed. Think of it like a theme.

There are other front ends available, but this is the only one that we've implemented so far. There's one that makes it look like an old-school forum (https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmyBB), and one called Alexandrite that looks very interesting https://lemmy.world/post/1095076. I might play with that one in the future.

 

A new report by the U.S. intelligence community on Tuesday says Russia sought to help former President Donald Trump in last year's presidential election. But the document also emphasized there was no indication Russia or any other country attempted to alter actual votes.

 

Republicans are reeling from Trump’s undisciplined approach to the opening stages of his race against Harris.

 

I have multiple things running through a reverse proxy and I've never had trouble accessing them until now. The two hospitals are part of the same company, so their network setup is probably identical.

Curiously, it's not that the sites can't be found, but instead my browser complains that it's not secure.

So I don't think it's a DNS problem, but I wonder what the hospital is doing to the data.

All I could come up with in my research is this article about various methods of intercepting traffic. https://blog.cloudflare.com/performing-preventing-ssl-stripping-a-plain-english-primer/

Since my domain name is one that requires https (.app), the browser doesn't allow me to bypass the warning.

Is this just some sort of super strict security rules at the hospital? I doubt they're doing anything malicious, but it makes me wonder.

Thanks!

Also, if you know of any good networking Lemmy communities, feel free to share them.

 

I still get updates for things I have installed, but I haven't seen any new integrations or themes added in some time.

After wanting a modern mountain bike for the past 5 years, I finally went and got one. It's a lot of fun.

This is replacing a ~2006 Schwinn Mesa that I never ride anymore, because the trails are too rough for it where I live.

The dropper post is compressed if you're wondering why it looks like the seat is too low 😊

 

'Sup?

Anything fun or exciting going on in your life?

From the artisan:

Apple of Aetherwood

This is our first 100% original scent in way too long. It starts with an opening of apples and bergamot, with hints of sage, ginger, juniper berries, and geranium, with a base of amber, tonka beans, cedar, vetiver, and frankincense.

While this may sound rather heavy, it's a rich, but still summery scent that is well grounded, but no so heavy and sweet that it would be overwhelming on a hot day.

Coming later this month!

Anyone planning on giving it a try?

Information Overload

"Product marketing must list at least 10 scent notes.
Note: remember that notes are scent descriptors used for marketing - not actual ingredient lists.
Caveat: fragrance dupes will count the number of notes listed in the dupe's marketing description - not the original product's description."
