#lazyweb Which powerline adapters work for you? I am thinking of upgrading my current ones (TP-Link with AV500 that does max 500 Mbit/s) with the newer version that doubles the theoretical max. Experiences, anyone?

I’m seeking advice today, rather than showcase stuff
please see image
what other punctuation can be used to create a distinction between direct speech and a stream of consciousness?

My nephew is asking whether an RFID-blocking wallet or card is worth it. I haven’t seen much discussion of it in privacy circles, and I’m not finding much reliable-looking reporting on it. So, does it make sense to have one? #lazyweb
Assuming I do not care about commit IDs (I want to rewrite history after all) is there a #git tool out there, that would let me do a `git rebase` but squish/bucket things by date?
Example:
- Anything older than a year, squash by month
- Anything older than a month squash by week
I am using git to watch changes to some files, but at some point, I do not care so much about detailed older history, only detailed recent history.
I want to show my German student the old-school joke "ad" making fun of Apple ads where an evil mastermind in his lair describes how easy linux is to use... notable lines about "recompiling your kernel" etc. I can NOT find this on the internet anymore. Came out in maybe 2000 ish. someone is gonna have a link I know it #lazyweb
Dear Lazyweb!
I plan to go on a cycling holiday on the long weekend this week. I can't decide where to go 
Someone help me choose!
- Andorra - I have been before, lots of climbs, some annoying drivers, good food and shopping
- Puigcerda - easy access to some routes into France. I also been before, but only with others
- La Seu d'Urgell - just driven through so far, maybe new hills?
Any help appreciated. Be it 
or 
or random google image search.
can anyone recommend a good resouce for building a strategic plan? I haven't done one before and want to do one for my rfs brigade to put some structure around a few of the things we are doing (and hopefully use it to get some support from other areas)
there's tonnes online but it's all different and, well, I just dunno where to start!
Hey, short film fans! I'm looking for short films (under 20 minutes) about caregivers and caregiving (of children, of elders, sandwich generation, etc.).
Do you know of any short films that fit this bill?
Let me know about the caregiver films you love. Thank you.

At the start of the new Superman #movie, they claim in the current iteration of the DC universe, meta humans have been widely known for 3 centuries.
Excluding folks like Vandal Savage, or wearers of Dr. Fate's helmet, who were the widely known meta humans from the 1720s ?
Hey Fedi!
I need to convert a 4TB RAID array. I will move the data off it and then back. Currently it's NTFS (and Windows). When I'm done, it will be LVM+EXT4 (and Linux).
Does the file system of the intermediate storage make any difference to the speed or otherwise? If yes, what would be best? (I might hit the 4GB file size limit on FAT32.)
Also, is this best done by copying files, or would it be faster (probably not safer) to manipulate the existing partition?
I just caught myself singing a song. I have no idea what the song title or original artist is, and looking up the lyrics isn't helping. Does anyone recognize this?
Mama do
Papa do
Everybody Oop-la
Ziggy Ziggy Oop-la Boom
It's quite
Alright

Hey Fedi!
What's this thing on the high-voltage line?
There are sections where there is plus one wire for maybe 20m, separated with glass beads from the main one, and it ends with a tube that looks kinda like a fuse.
My guess is some kind of sensor or safety device. I see no connections to / from it.
Computer touchers and telephony enthusiasts, a question: my brother who's in Japan needs to call a 1-800 number in the US. What's the simplest way to do this? He has a VPN that can spoof his location as the US, if that helps.
(I don't know how to hashtag this, please boost?)
If I were looking for historical information (19th Century) about specific #Irish immigrants in Leeds County in Ontario, Canada does anyone know where I might start looking? Is information like this published online by the county or province or is this something that local libraries might be able to help with?
This is a #lazyweb question, but I'm inquiring for my aunt who has otherwise done a great deal of non-internet work on this over the past 20 yrs. Maybe more is digitized now?
Can anyone recommend me an *offline* OCR/auto-translator app for either Android, Linux, or Windows? Something like Google Lens, but not Google. Commercial/paid is fine as long as it's offline.
I feel like I've asked the #lazyweb this before, but I apparently forgot to bookmark the answer... and it's come up again in my work....
Long, long ago OCLC had a date parsing library (written in Java) that was intended to handle all the various forms of dates found in MARC records. Does anybody remember the name of this or have a pointer for me?
When I said I was working on a musical Moo, which is kind of an interactive storytelling platform, loads of you mentioned some prior art by somebody who did another text based novel with music.
I made a note of this . . . . somewhere.... (help?)
I have always wondered about websites that publish other people's poetry without discussing copyright.
When does a piece of literature become “public domain” and/or copyright free?
Could somebody with superior knowledge please guide me to an explanation?
Thanks.

One of these is old and one is new. And I won’t say which way round they are.
Gut feeling please. Which version looks better to you?

#Lazyweb: A while ago I came across a paper that said men in management positions were more likely than women to make judgements based on emotions instead of evidence. I can't find it now, does anyone have a reference?
