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).

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've a 17 year old low-line entertainment unit and one of the plastic supports has shorn off while I was cleaning. There is a very tiny amount of it sticking out, but…

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 :-)

My kitchen scales broke (the culprit denies any responsibility) so I need to get a new one, which I'll use MOSTLY to bake but might also use for coffee if it does the job.
The one thing I'd like is that it weights *oil* as I pour it, something which my previous was unable to do (it would stick to initial weight).
So, long shot: does anybody here have and use a CASO KitchenDuo and can answer my question?

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.
