Anyone got a link to an early phonograph powered by ethanol rather than electricity or windup? I think it's a Hispano-Suiza but my Search-Fu is failing

Daughter's coming back from Japan with 100s of photos & is looking for portable photo printer. I've been out of the printing biz for ~20+ years so I'm reaching out here for recs.

From her:
"I'm mainly looking for scrapbooking reasons, so small prints I can print multiple images onto one print(like 2-3 images on a 6"x4")".

Looking for something that could handle sticky-back & possibly archival stock.

Difficulty: No HP #printers if possible

A #lazyweb #AppleMusic question: What do the bullets that appear next to some tracks signify?

Hey NZ peeps, do you use any of those weekly food boxes? Would you recommend it?

There are a lot of them now, we are considering trying one and got a bit of choice paralysis.

Would prefer a local, ethical business.

#Musician fedi - simple, no-nonsense recording solution I can just plug in to a mixer and start capturing?

UPDATE: Thx to the replies, I implemented the change for all my domains, did a `certbot renew --dry-run` and that succeeded. Yay to a cleaner config :)

#NerdQuestion. When I move {server [...] } blocks in `/etc/nginx/nginx.conf` to separate files in the `/etc/nginx/conf.d` directory, will certbot still find them and will automatic renewals just keep working as before? Anyone with experience on that?

Dear tech mastodon #lazyweb My sister got a #windows 11 laptop 6 months ago or so, and today as we were trying to set up Syncthing between her and me, we discovered that it's of course been intimately entwined in OneDrive, so all her documents are inside c:\Users\username\OneDrive etc and she doesn't like that. What's a good online guide on how to unfuck her computer so that all her folders are stored locally on her computer only?

Hey #lazyweb, if you know Apache #Camel and #Parquet files, I have a question for you https://stackoverflow.com/q/79638665/15619

Is there a tool besides the pop-up on the default browser that can let me explore relevant hashtags for #mastodon?

I did a web-search and it shows #hashtags for other platforms with things like #love, #fashion, etc. but obviously I don't want to use a generic list like that.

But it would be nice to know what people are following and/or posting to so I can match their interests. Mostly for #electronics, #fpga, etc.

I still can't understand how a centralised job/networking site in 2025 is still basically the industry standard.
Imagine a federated system for jobs & seekers?

I'm looking for an inline cable connector for UK 240V mains power…

* Compact
* Ideally IP68
* Fused

Basically a more compact version of the standard 3-pin plug & socket.

I can find plenty of IP68 inline connectors, but none that are fused. Anyone?

I share a lot of links, obviously. Just things I find interesting and want to share or discuss. Many of them are timely, though, and most of them are not my content

So, I am wondering if I should set those to autodelete. What are your feelings towards automatically deleting old posts?

Friends in the #lazyWeb,

What's the best way to re-enable comments on my blog if it's built using @11ty and hosted on Netlify?

I'd love something that's easy to set up + easy to moderate to avoid spam.

Thank you <3

#lazyweb Anyone know of any short (2 - 20 min) #video or #audio #podcasts that I can follow via #rss ? I am open to just about any subject but these get moved to the top of the list: #science #technology #history #astronomy #environment

Even better if they are #indieweb or #smallweb #creators

Hey Aotearoa fedi friends,

What are your favourite kid friendly (5 yo) activities in Rotorua or thereabouts?

Bonus points for outdoors or otherwise covid safe-ish activities.

Asking for our whānau.

Accidentally listening to #British #christian radio and... They are like... Trashing trump / musk. Supporting #lgbtq? What is going on. Are Christians in this country roughly OK? Genuine question, 4 years here only.

There’s some bloke on here who has information about a Rust conference in Aotearoa. Can someone find that?

Was it @timClicks ?

Anybody else use #Waterfox? I'm tearing my hair out, here*, because I cannot figure out how to revive a closed tab. On Firefox, it's CTRL-SHIFT-T. Help would be very appreciated.

Dear #lazyweb, what is the best way you know to represent #tagged #enums in #Python? It needs to be at least somewhat type-checkable, although it's possible I might settle for something like enumerating each value's associated data type/tuple once again for mypy to see.

So far I've been using a hierarchy of frozen dataclasses and then a single-dispatch handler; however, now I have a possible use case with the need for validation, and the hierarchy of dataclasses is not discoverable, thus not, well, enumerable :)
