Installed Q4OS a few years ago on older laptop. Zero issues, easy peasy. Runs what i need anyway but I'm not a gamer (Plasma version)

As are many others. I assumed, in the end they just used the shorter dollars instead of CAD which is what I (and no doubt others too) would have expected. No worries. Sorted

Legendary... literally for a change

 

Now complete including a trot up Everest

"The 31-year-old is in the closing stages of a 240-day challenge which has already seen him swim 35km across the English channel, cycle over 12,000km through Europe and Asia to Digha in India before running 900km to Kathmandu in Nepal."

 

Or any other non US equivilant from anywhere? I know Botpress is headquartered in Canada but it appears the charges are in Dollars sooo... Is Le chat by Mistral potentially one of these? Any others? Thanks for any sugestions

I would also add to make sure there's a good battery management system (BMS).

Apparently very easy to build your own lifepo4 battery bank using (prismatic) cells connected in series and extremely cheap to diy- huge power for much much cheaper than trying to afford a higher power battery. This is my next upgrade.

Works extremely well if using LEDs etc Victron energy has all the info. My project was to upgrade power on my old (fixer upper) boat so I only needed 12v info Delighted with result.

Plenty of info around once usecase gets more specific... I focused on sailing specific forums etc I mean... Envision LiFePO4 315Ah Prismatic Cell (Grade B) for less than £50

Having moved onto the "trots" to avoid that marina vibe, sailors more generally and save £££s, I thought I better get some security deterence.

Bought myself one of these puppies for 50 English £s- So far so good and seems like money well spent.

Additionally, checking in every day has given me a huge confidence boost when it comes to mooring. The channel where the boat lives is a tough one to Moor in. Now I can learn about the tidal flow idiosyncrasies and it doesn't seem as restrictive as I though it was going to be...

Well put and I'm sure you directly benefit from your effort. Its not always easy in terms of peer groups is it? Ironically I went to try and follow you before realising thats not possible here- Right there is a real difference between here and mastodon et al... So its about "topic" rather than ppl- Interesting... So now I need to reactivate Mastodon to stay connected with you. I was using openvibe but there's only options for BS, Mast & Nostre- was disappointed i couldn't include Lemmie. There's potential in this and seems a better fit to include Mastodon with Lemmie rather than Bluesky but thats probably my bias at work??? ;)

You're right of course and that's understandable... For me thought, its always quality over quantity. Cant get away from its familiarity to those who were part of the Xodus

I kept on breaking it too because of the limited number of good accounts to follow. I suppose that was my method- Not following larger accounts because of ppl reposting their stuff all the time so there's really no need. No place for the interesting smaller accounts tbh. Probably something something algorithm. I did like Mastodon much more than Bluesky in terms of content and variety. US still doesn't get there's a whole world out there. Thanks for replying :)

Disclaimer- I'm pretty new here. Just closed my account on blueshit again. Its getting worse and worse in my opinion. Massive echo chamber of US phsycosis- Mirror of X. Havent learned a single thing, entirely humourless. The only reason I keep trying again is for 2 accounts and one has disappeared. Anonymous is the remaining one. Closed mastadon too as i found myself looking at Lemmie first and spending longer lurking and clicking thru to links way, way more. It's about content really I suppose. Little effort equals little reward but thats people for you I guess. I'm not looking for agreement but knowledge, info, perspective, open-mindedness & entertainment beyond US fluff. I have hope for Lemmie but can see much room for improvement, growth or development

I have loads of sex metaphors for the UK-US "relationship"... This is new and grim. Well played🤮

 

Interesting... Also cool illustration

 

UK sailors looking to rid themselves of those nasty algae infused halyards & sheets should check out Outdoor Xscape The Rope Company. Indy biz with a great guy at the helm. Hilarious chat, fab advice & by far the best prices I've found. You could do a lot worse
