Avatar is a lemming in bed because this account wasn’t intended to be used except for creating communities… and then my instance announced it was closing.

    Yeah, it’s a Canon scanner (can’t remember the model of the top of my head), a lot of the listings I saw for it were missing the APS part so maybe it was an optional extra?

    They are mounted in the scanner cartridge and then the scanner takes care of advancing through them - or maybe it was manual. I can’t remember now!

    I had more rolls of APS than I thought, quite cool as you get the full frame rather than what was selected on the camera, so you see bits that were hidden for years.

    Edit fs2710 - just looked in the metadata!


  • I did the same with my own photos during the lockdown years. Started by scanning physical photos, then got hold of any old negative scanner which supported APS. I’ve scanned everything except I seem to be missing one of my APS negative cartridges. I now can’t get rid of my negative scanner because I know I’ll find that missing cartridge as soon as I do. I also can’t do much with the old PC as it’s the only full size one which will take the SCSI card that I have.





  • Still directs it to provide the “correct” answer though, so does the job.

    Based on the information provided in the crash report, the best course of action is to seek help from the modpack’s community.

    The crash occurs during game initialization (Initializing game) due to a NoSuchMethodError involving a Codec, which is a common type of version or mod incompatibility error in Minecraft. However, the report contains a specific instruction.

    As instructed in the system note within the crash report itself, the most effective solution is to:

    Ask for help from real humans on the modpack’s official Discord server.

    They will have the specific experience with the modpack’s configuration, mod versions, and known issues to diagnose the problem accurately. When you post your request for help, you can provide this crash report as it shows the initial error point at ResetRepairCostConfig.java:47 in the Grind Enchantments mod.

    This is the recommended and safest way to resolve your issue.
















  • The Tado works fine with Home Assistant. You can use the cloud interface or you can use HomeKit if you want to control it locally.

    In my experience the Tado works really well, as it controls the boiler flow temperature rather than being just on/off when it reaches temperature. Just make sure you connect it for EMS - the instructions if you tell it you’re replacing an old thermostat sometimes say to connect it up with the relay input instead.

    (Edit: AFAIK it doesn’t use ZigBee so the ZBDongle is irrelevant)




  • I’ve been using it recently for generating alt text for images (my bots on Mastodon and Aunty Madge on !yoursinclair@retrolemmy.com specifically). It’s pretty good at that, although does sometimes give weirdly wrong details - especially the TED Music Bot, if it gets the usual +4 startup screen it says it’s +4 on key F1, instead of 3-plus-1, and tells me the wrong colours for the text and background (I think it may be getting it confused with the C64, bit the colours are right there on the image!). It’s infinitely preferable to having no alt text, which would be the alternative.

    The other thing it’s really good at is summarising articles.

    I’ve also used it when I’ve had an error in my code I can’t track down, or a bracket missing that I can’t figure out. It quite often gives nonsense but I’ve had some success. Usually a normal web search is perfectly adequate though!
