#AskFedi: meeting-booking software like Calendly or SimplyMeet.me
I need to set up one of those things where other people can pick a time for us to meet.
I only need it for a few meetings on a few days, so I don't want to have to maintain an entire online calendar up-to-date just so that it can see where the gaps are. I want one which is easy to use as follows: I go into the thing itself and select a few chunks of time which _are_ available, it turns those into bookable slots.
I'd also like it to be easy to remove unbooked slots manually without messing up any adjacent booked ones.
Previously I've not even used this type of software the other way round, as the person booking someone _else's_ available time - so I'm starting fresh with looking into it!
I've got my eye on SimplyMeet.me, because the below Zapier article said it was a nicely customisable one and can do intake questions, which would be nice. Has anyone else used that?
Any other recommendations or pointers?
Thanks in advance for clues!
(boosts very welcome)

Hat jemand gute Tipps, wie man eine Gravur in einem Ring wieder lesbar machen kann?
Wir haben einen Ring, wo die Gravur sehr abgenutzt ist, aber noch leicht erkennbar. Wir würden gerne die Buchstaben erkennen können, um die Herkunft aufzuklären.
Ist in Familienbesitz seit Jahrzehnten, also nicht gestern auf der Straße gefunden.

Pergunta aos geeks do mastodon, pois estou desatualizado: que configuração de PC pra Windows vocês sugeririam que seja capaz de jogar de maneira confortšvel (mas sem frescura) qualquer jogo moderno?
Preferência para placas de vídeo Nvidia, pensando num possível dual boot (e, apesar de tudo, Nvidia ainda é mais bem suportado no Linux).

Content warning: Getting into playing music as an adult ...?
I'm learning Clean Interviewing - skills of not letting your own biases shape the other person's answers - and I want to do an assessment thing to get a qualification in it, which means I need a few people to "practise on"!
Would anyone like to volunteer to be interviewed over Zoom for 20 mins or so? about their musical journey as an adult, or current wish for that?
I could pick _any_ topic, but I thought this would be a good theme to go with, because creating adult-learner music groups, or just encouraging people to have a go and enjoy it, are things I'm planning to do more of! So your thoughts and experiences along the way could feed in to better support for other people on similar paths :-)
For example,
•you could be just now resolving "I want to be playing music"
•you could've recently acquired an instrument or dusted one off, or joined a group or started looking into possibilities
•it could be you're playing regularly now.
Doesn't matter what kind of music!
And you could be starting fresh with pretty much no experience yet, or you could be coming back to music a bit "rusty" after leaving off in childhood.
(Or maybe you _did_ get into music as an adult, a while ago, and you'd be happy to think back about that. Or maybe you're someone who's supported _other_ people to get into music.)
Time zone considerations: I'm in England, so people on the America/Canada side of the world would probably need to be available in a morning or early afternoon.
I'd like to find at least one or two people who wouldn't mind their interview being recorded, so that I can pick one or more of the recordings to use for being assessed for the qualification. This would only be seen/heard by me and the people reviewing it - who'd be interested primarily in my interviewing-skills, rather than your actual answers :-)
Or, if you don't want to be recorded, I'd still potentially be up for one or two unrecorded ones, just as practice and for the interest of the topic.
Let me know if you might be up for it, or feel free to pass the info on to a friend!
Boosts appreciated :-)

#Android / #GrapheneOS experts, if I run on battery saver and data saver all the time, is there a point in disabling mobile data before I lock the phone? My main concern is battery saving. I also run RethinkDNS, if that could be a factor.

Anyone with experience on here driving an #EV around the French Alps? Problems finding chargers? ABRP looks like it's a bit thin on the ground for fast chargers? Maybe ok for trickle charge? Trying to work out if I dare rent an EV or should l stick to ICE for now (which I really don't like..). #askFedi
EDIT: update - thanks all for your helpful info, looks like it's easily possible even in the french Alps. Looking forward to my summer holidays!

Kann mir jemand sagen, wofür die zwei Schrauben und Unterlegscheiben bei meinem neuen Prophete-Faltschloss sind?
Es gibt noch zwei Klettbänder zur Befestigung der Halterung, ich entdecke aber nicht, wo ich die Schrauben verwende. Ist das für den Fall, dass ich die Halterung mit dem Rahmen verschrauben will?
Das Kontaktformular vom Hersteller ist aktuell defekt und eine Anleitung finde ich auch nicht.

Ich möchte nicht mehr Google Maps nutzen, um lokal zum Beispiel nach Restaurants etc zu suchen.
Was gibt's da für europäische, vielleicht sogar offene und föderierte Alternativen, Fedi?
Update: mir wurde bereits Magic Earth und Organic Maps sowie HERE WeGo empfohlen. Danke euch!

Nottingham, short visit rent or housesit, anyone know a place?
Nottingham-related #AskFedi: anyone know of a Nottingham-area house or flat that's going to be empty over part or all of the summer? and that's potentially rentable for not too much for a few days, or wants house-sitting for a while?
It would be so that me and a friend/colleague could go and use the space to do some writing work together. We are reliable conscientious old(ish) people who'd leave it clean and not be any bother :-)
Boosts very welcome.

I need your help. It's surprisingly hard to find a PC game (or port/emulation) that ticks the following boxes:
- generally easy, or with easy difficulty setting
- mostly linear, not open world
- story-driven
- ideally, controller support
You know what I mean? I'm looking for something relaxing for when my brain is exhausted where I don't have to make too many decisions.

Ok #mastoadmin #selfhost #S3 aficionados. I don’t have any experience with object storage providers. I am looking to move my self-host mastodon account here from local storage on my 2007 #footimac to my account at leaseweb. Could you help me with the answers to their queries? I suggested, completely off the top of my head and without experience, i would need 1.5TB and low bandwidth. Not knowing if that makes any sense.
“ for a 1.5 TB provision with low bandwidth usage, we can provide an estimate once we have more context on access patterns, regions, and any specific requirements.”
Thanks for any help!

Did Google Maps and Apple Maps search get worse in the past year?
I keep having a ridiculous amount of trouble locating places to eat or stores in #NYC lately unless I know the precise name of a place - even very similar keywords like “burger” for a place that’s called “Blue Collar Burger” - and it doesn’t come up.
Let alone searching for nearby open restaurants or something by category… most places just don’t come up and instead I see completely irrelevant businesses.
I feel like it’s deteriorated a lot since 2024 but I also might be misremembering how easy it used to be.

Une petite frustration m'est venue aujourd'hui car mes marque-pages Mastodon ne sont pas (sauf erreur) si facilement exportables... Et je souhaiterais les compiler dans une appli de prise de notes comme Joplin pour mieux en tirer parti.
Est-ce qu'une solution existe déjŠ pour envoyer automatiquement les marque-pages vers Joplin ? Sinon, est-ce que ça intéresserait quelqu'un d'autre ?

I recall using an app/service/... for offline access to all kinds of docs, but sadly, I don't remember its name. (I know I have used it to access cppreference and such). Any ideas? 🥺
Alternatively, any suggestions for offline access to JavaScript docs? MDN says it has offline access but then says it's only for "MDN Plus", which it also says I have but does not provide a means to enable offline storage. 😤
