Ich versuche aktuell einen #NanoPi R5S zu kaufen. Egal, wo ich schaue, kommen die Teile immer aus #China. Entweder sind es Direktversender oder chinesische Plattformen. Aber auch wenn ich bei #Amazon oder #eBay schaue sieht es so aus, das der Versand immer aus China kommt. Es sieht so aus, als ob es für die Teile keinen deutschen, oder wenigstens europäischen, Distributor gibt. Eigentlich will ich nicht direkt in China bestellen. Zum einen die Zusatzkosten. #Zoll (nur 3€), Einfuhrumsatzsteuer, Gebühren des Transportdienstleisters. Zusätzlich die Wartezeit und wenn was nicht passt wird der Support Null sein. Hat irgendwer eine Idee, wo ich noch schauen könnte um Versand aus China zu umgehen? #followerpower #fedihelp #askfedi

Okay, this may be a stupid question... but is there a way using Stylus, or another extension available to Firefox¹, that will allow me to universally force all websites I visit to use bunny fonts instead of google fonts? I know how to change it on my own sites, and if I want to play whack a mole and craft Stylus rules for each site I visit as I do, I can do it that way... but that's a lot of constantly ongoing work. I don't have spoons for that. I just want a way to tell my browser that if a site requests a font with a url starting with https://fonts.googleapis.com/css to instead replace that part of the url with https://fonts.bunny.net/css and pull from there instead. In theory that seems like it would be an easy thing, in practice, I don't know what to ask no AI DuckDuckGo to get me information to allow me to implement it. Searching the expected mix of Stylus and replace google fonts with bunny fonts just gets me shit about WordPress. Which is website side, not browser side, and therefore useless to me. (Also, not using WP for anything I manage, thanks.) — ¹ Look, the state of browser options is fucked. I currently find continuing to play whack a mole babysitting Firefox's settings to be easier to manage than trying to vet another browser to switch to. I am not looking for advice that requires me to switch browsers. If that's all you got, please just move on. #AskFedi #GoogleFonts #BunnyFonts #Firefox #Stylus

Is there anyone here on the fediverse that fixes Apple MacBooks? I have a 2017 or so MacBook and the keyboard needs to be replaced does this mean I need to go and get a new mac? #AskFedi #AskMastodon

Hab mal ne Frage: #Linux ubuntu zeigte Bilder in Verzeichnissen vom Rechner genauso an wie von externen Medien (Stick, Kamera ...): als Minibild, und zwar immer in max. Minibild-Größe (weil so von mir ausgewählt).

Mit Zena scheint

  1. für jeden Foto-Ordner die getrennte Einstellung der Bildgröße einzeln vonnöten (lästig!),
  2. die Motiv-Darstellung im Ordner der Kamera nicht mehr möglich. Leider nur Anzeige eines Symbols 😢

Schlecht für Fotoauswahl! @lug_nuernberg@mastodon.online #askFedi #Fedihelp Wer weiß Rat?

So, I have a situation where a much older person in my family keeps clicking on YouTube ads and things like that on their Android phone, turning it into an adware riddled landmine within hours of use. Is there an easy way to block all ads for them? Switching to using a browser and adding adblock there is not an option, they have a very hard time remembering new ways to do things these days. I'm finding old articles that say AdGuard VPN can act like a sort of PiHole situation for an individual phone, but I'd like to hear from people who've actually done this and kept it up (and aren't paid ads for AdGuard VPN). Please boost if you can! #askFedi

#Peertube question: If I recall, there was a way to co-host (or co-locate?) a video from another Peertube instance on your own instance in order to assist with bandwidth/reliability of a popular video. Anyone remember what that feature was called and how to do it? #AskFedi #AskMastodon

@taylorahmed Welcome! This place is great and there's lots of people who will engage with you. #dogsOfMastodon is very popular and any other interest you may have is probably here as well. Just stick a # in front of the topic and start searching and following. You'll get more feedback and boosts if you can #AltText your images because there are lots of people here who rely on image descriptions. Otherwise, just post any question and #askfedi and you'll get a bunch of helpful suggestions.

Hey y'all. I have some VERY minor graphic design work (logo cleanup) I need done, and I just don't have the will to do it myself. What's a reputable site I can use (like TaskRabbit but for graphic design?) to ask for assistance. This is for a very liberal, LGBTQIA+ friendly church in my hometown. #AskFedi

#Askfedi my spouse and I are holidaying with our daughter in a remote cottage in the peak district. We're none of us in a good mental state. We're off to #Leeds tomorrow for the day. Where's good for us to go? Must be LGBTQI+ welcoming, diverse, interesting and not too expensive. We like #coffee, #coffeshops #books #bookshops #oldthings and #art please could we have some suggestions for nice places to go. We intend to park near the #Brudenhall and walk into the centre... Thank you fedi hive in advance. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Anyone know what bird this feather comes from? I'm having trouble identifying it. It's about 15cm long, found on open farmland, next to a river, in UK West Midlands #askfedi #nature #ukcountryside
