This Week in KDE Apps in c/kde@lemmy.kde.social
[–] palitu@aussie.zone 1 points 2 days ago

Thanks! Is it possible to have the headings for each app link to the app page?

That way anyone who doesn't know what the app is or does can go straight there.

Cheers

Maybe they are farmers? Apparently they have to live quote remote.

I have family that use it as there is nothing else available

Edit: fiber is cheap, but the land and labour required is not.

how to install Merkuro!? in c/kde@lemmy.ml
[–] palitu@aussie.zone 1 points 1 month ago

I think I am just going to have to wait. I am hanging out for a good replacement for the office suite. I am currently using better bird which is good, but there are a few things that get to me, one being that I am in an unreliable internet country and the offline support has issues

I was hoping that running Kde neon would give me the best hope for it to run...

Ah, within the container ... Some research required!

That said, I thought I was just missing something obvious, but since there has been no forthcoming answers, I assume it is not quite ready for people who are not willing to compile from scratch

Hahah, the irony of running Kde 's distro and having install via distro box!

I'm on KDE Neon (in the post), which is latest kde on latest Ubuntu LTS.

So, if I install that flat pack, how do I launch murkuro?

Kubuntu vs Neon? in c/kde@lemmy.kde.social
[–] palitu@aussie.zone 2 points 1 month ago

I have, seems nice so far. Plasma 6 is pretty slick, and I think Im going to like the up to date desktop.

Now I have to go through and reinstall everything. At the moment I am trying flatpaks, as I want to avoid the snaps.

If there issues, I'll try and come back and comment

[–] palitu@aussie.zone 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I have this same question right now.

I'm going to try neon now (literally writing it to USB now). Not at the point to jump off of Ubuntu/Debian based distros right now

Nice. Where abouts are you. I would love to see more of this stuff available.

Isn't the mesh size limited?

RPi client for tv (aussie.zone)
 

My jellyfin server is all set up and ready to go.l, but I want to replace my Kodi box, it is just painful.

Is there a nice way to setup a rPi to run as a client, that just turns on and looks like a media centre? Ie, it loads up and is ready to go at power on?

recommendations for musician tablets & software (aussie.zone)
 

cross-posted from: https://aussie.zone/post/3641289

Hi all, I am looking for a starter tablet to show tabs, and in the future potentially musical notation.

As a starter into i am looking for ideas on what sort of tablet. Is 10" big enough? and what are some good apps for it?

My preference is Android, but if all else fails, an iPad could work.

cheers

Farming Dung Beetles for Farmers Farming other things (www.abc.net.au)
 

I love seeing this sort of thing in Farming. Are there any other places where dungbeetles are used as an input to a farm?

What other insects are being introduced to farms? I know of bees (pollination) and ladybirds (pest control)

sorting of 'favourite' comms (aussie.zone)
 

Hey lemmings.

I find that I am not seeing what I am Interested in from the smaller comms I have subscribed to.

Is there a way to increase their visibility?

I was think it would be useful to put a multiplier on the scores of various comms, ie !perth@aussie.zone can have a 5x multiplier so that is see more of those posts, in comparison to other larger comms.

I am having to go to the comms explicitly to see their posts.

Cheers!

A real world analysis of a near-100% renewable grid in Australia - Year 2. (reneweconomy.com.au)
 

This is a great article that uses real data to see how our grid world perform with greater wind, solar and storage. It shows that we can easily achieve a 95% renewable grid with a modest level of storage.

What i really like about this, is it has been running for 2 years now, and it is pragmatic about its aims (ie, not 100%), it aims for reality (this is real data that is collected weekly), and it looks at the cost (in $$ and CO2-e).

He sets some targets (60% Wind, 45% Solar + storage), then works off of the actual data to scale the wind & solar generation, to see how it would meet demand. excess is accumulated in storage (theoretical battery storage and actual hydro), and shortfalls is taken from storage.

The really nice part shows where "other" is required, in Australia's case, existing fossil fueled peaker plants.

I often use his 1st year report to have the discussion with "non-believers" to show what is possible, and where the gaps are to achieveing a renewable grid.

Have a read and let me know what you think.
