Sailing boat rescued by the Götheborg
lemmy.world Sailing boat rescued by the Götheborg | Götheborg of Sweden - Lemmy.world

I want to crew the Götheborg. >Imagine losing your rudder out at sea and sending out a distress call. And then the largest ocean-going wooden sailing ship in the world comes to your rescue. Or in the words of the sailors on the sailing boat: “This moment was very strange, and we wondered if we were ...

Tough waking up to this

Forecast had it miserably hot, but turned out to be decent. Way nicer than I was expecting.

O'Day 23-2 rafted up to a 32' Benateu, and another O'Day (272LE).

Life360 integration down?

I'm not home ATM, but it seems the Life360 integration is not working. I tried rebooting HA but no joy.

Just wondering if it's me or more wide spread

Google raising price of YouTube Premium to $13.99 per month
  • I do, and YouTube is my primary Media consumption for both video and music.

    That said, I have the family plan which went from $15-23 back a few months ago and it was difficult to keep. I actually cancelled it and used Spotify and some of the available ad-blocking apps, but ultimately didn't like Spotify, so I came back.

    If it were to go up again anytime remotely soon I'd be gone.

    Nearly all of Evernote’s remaining staff has been laid off
  • Had an account since about 2010, looks like I stopped using it around 2016. Just logged in to see what if anything was left. A few notes, nothing important.

    Tried closing my account instead of just leaving it hanging out there and it fails. Guess I'll try later

  • Businesses can discriminate against their customers? Alright then...
  • I can't imagine owning a business and actively promoting your willing to give up sales because of some random person's beliefs.

    I fully understand consumers not shopping at a store that puts up signs you disagree with, you can just go to another one.

    Nothing wrong in believing in and supporting the good things. I just think I'd not agitate customers if it were my business.

    Last weekend sailing club raft-up/overnight

    Discover the magic of the internet at Imgur, a community powered entertainment destination. Lift your spirits with funny jokes, trending memes, entertaining gifs, inspiring stories, viral videos, and so much more from users like dmtalon46.

    We had 6 boats for the raft-up/hangout, then 4 off us stayed overnight. The next morning I cooked my breakfast for the first time after finding a "period correct" alcohol stove over the winter!

    After I cleaned everything up, I detached from the raft-up, and did some poleless/preventerless wing on wing (which is far too much work!) down to the main section of the lake where it was wider, then sailed down and back getting about 12 miles in for the day!

    for the Reddit refugees, do you also feel a bit heartbroken?
  • Ive spent 98% of my time here in Lemmy vs. 2% since last night. I'm not deleting my reddit account just yet, but, overall like what I am seeing here. I'm also just trying to figure everything out here.

    There are issues/worries about what happens when an instance goes away, where's that content go? Duplicate/fragmented communities on multiple instances.

    I'm more worried about losing the CONTENT that we created on Reddit, etc as a historic/research tool if reddit fails completely. Lot of content with people helping others.

    I see/saw a lot of talk about wiping your data before leaving... I'm sure if that happened in larg volumes, they have backups of that content. No idea what legal ramifications there are with restoring them though.

    I'm in a wait and see, but w/o RIF I'm gonna be hard pressed to use reddit on my phone, and if old. Goes away that might end it for me.

  • What are your favorite automations?
  • I'm tracking my HVAC filter and rest it's 90days with an NFC tag

    Loosely followed an online how-to to create a tracking chore list using NFC tags for my son's allowance. Automations to nag him on trash night to gather/take out the trash.

    A simple Automation that turns on a fan in the basement when the outside temp is above out AC setting to help distribute cool basement air.

    Outside security lights on/off at dusk/dawn

    House auto arms/disarms (Alarmo) when everyone leaves or someone arrives (via life 360 integration)

    On trash day, after noon if my son scans (NFC) one of the trash cans, the garage door opens to let him in/put them away.

    My son gets a notification when he comes home from school if we got mail (aka the mailbox was opened that day)

    Those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.
