@mhoye @jfred JMP.chat is an SMS service (bridge to xmpp) that can be scripted using sendxmpp and I use it for notifications from home camera. There might be something similar for matrix, too

@dthompson I hope your optimism ends up being warranted

@maris sadly attempts to change that have infamously failed: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/undertheinfluence/the-real-reason-most-prices-end-in-99-cents-1.4731238

@dthompson at first I thought @cwebber@octodon.social but then reconsidered at they seem more effective and grounded...

@dthompson I can definitely appreciate that. I avoid single use tools as much as possible too. If it helps, we also use ours for potatoes (and a couple of times for vegetable based pasta substitutes, but this is admittedly rare).

If hand peeling isn't too much of a chore, then less stuff is more better :)

@dthompson if speed is a concern, then getting something like this may help:

@kyle if they were able to keep SourceForge limping along, there may be hope yet. Curious how deep those pockets are...

@purism nice write up! Are the sources to the blender models available anywhere?

@ckeen perhaps Davx5 for the sync to Android, then Etar for interacting.

Huh. Didn't realize how terrible the Epson refillable tank printers were. Less than 2 years in with little printing, and the dreaded Ink Pad issues have bitten friends of mine (search for that before buying one).

Amazing how they could make something that should be a great idea into a terrible one.

Thanks, Epson.

@mattl a little older, but it reminds me of the Casio JD-300

Didn't realize how involved the oil industry was in the plastic "recycling" industry.

@Salyer because we never realized how effective they can be, despite other countries in the world having gotten the message long ago?

Kind of like how medical doctors resisted using them for years originally, but now surgery without them would seem insane.

@cjd illegal, or unauthorized?

@jbauer prosody. Or ejabberd. Either should be fine and can have the recent XEPs all enabled so it can pass the compliance suite.
