What's going on with that metal wall coating?

I much prefer the Netherlands goverment approach where they host their own Mastodon instance.

Everyone is missing out on the good shit in life focusing only on the forest but not the fine details, the forest only exists because of millions of small beautiful details.

I don't know if it's because I'm on the spectrum but I hope it isn't, I wish everyone could experience the same joy I get from all the small things.

South Africa has some really good tap water, can confirm I am drinking it.

As someone with senior experience in cloud engineering here is my input, naming things is hard.

And God forbid you decide down the line you need a sub domain the terror of having service-b.service-a.com give me the chills.

But yeah 100% naming thing is difficult so you end up naming it after the software and using the group as the parent domain

I guess the difference is selling your body because you have no choice vs selling your body because it's a safe well paying alternative to being exploited in ways you have no control over.

I recently stumbled upon a fantastic swivelling recliner chair on trash day in Amsterdam, but there's one small catch – it's missing its base! The chair itself is in great condition, and I couldn't resist the opportunity to bring it back to life. However, I'm facing a bit of a dilemma when it comes to finding the right chair base to restore this gem to its former glory.

What I want to achieve:

  1. The chair is a swivelling recliner, so I need a base that allows it to swivel.
  2. I don't have any information about the chair's brand or model.
  3. I'm open to both purchasing a replacement base if I can find the right one, or attempting a DIY solution if that's feasible.
  4. I am located in the Netherlands, so I would prefer to get something local but am happy to order online.

I've tried searching online, but without knowing the specific chair's make and model, it's been challenging to identify the exact base I need. So, I'm turning to this wonderful DIY community for your expertise. Here are a few questions I have:

  1. What strategies or resources can I use to identify the chair's make and model based on any existing markings or features?
  2. If I can't find a matching base, how challenging would it be to fabricate a custom base that accommodates both swiveling and reclining functions?
  3. Are there any common standards or measurements for chair bases that I should be aware of when searching for a replacement?
  4. Any other tips, tricks, or advice on how to go about this project would be greatly appreciated!

Please let me know if I should add any pictures to the album HERE.

Thanks, everyone who takes the time to read this and respond ^ _ ^

It's a shame this doesn't go further and make the knowledge open source.

If the hosts for this project ever stop then all the info contribution goes to waste :/

I know it would be impractical but i would like to see something like this powered by an open repo where for example all the guides and plant info was stored in a format like markdown docs.

Could use something simple like Docusaurus to power the front end and then have contributors use some sort of front end that wraps that git pull part so non coders could still add to it.

The beautiful thing is that plant data can be accessed without any compute.

And then sometimes you use a work server to design the pattern for the home server.

I recently found out that Racktime makes little snap-on bracks that let me turn anything I can drill holes in into snap-on modules for my bike.

The Bike is a rental so it took some time to figure out how to add a rear rack so that I can take it off if I need to return it but I am incredibly happy with the results!

Wow I can't believe how much smoother Sync is than other Lemmy clients!

Feel just like sync for Reddit :D

Thank you!

On another note will there be the option to purchase sync like it was for sync for Reddit?

Seriously you can't have windows without having teams now?

I have a feeling when I finish rebuilding my gaming PC I'm not going to be a fan of using windows again...
