I bought a majohn A1 and it came branded moonman, so could be the same product?

I have one of these. It's firmly become my "work pen" for taking quick ad-hoc notes. Amazing quality for the price.

Edit: I have a majohn a1 and OP posted a different pen! Looks almost identical.

I have a bottle of writers blood too. It's a great colour!

Where are you from? Is diamine expensive ink where you are? I'm in the UK and I'm always surprised how cheap it is to buy.

Or OpenBSD in general. I've used it on my desktop for about 25 years.

Problem is NTFS isn't as widely supported across alternative operating systems.

It's a really silly requirement IMHO.

Hi,

Several posts I've made to /c/fountainpens have not made it to lemmy.world from the lemmy.sdf.org instance.

If you compare these two urls, you can see that the top post (and several others) are only visible when viewed from sdf:

https://lemmy.world/c/fountainpens https://lemmy.sdf.org/c/fountainpens@lemmy.world

I've looked at the debugging tool and the sdf instance thinks that outbound lemmy.world is up to date, so has lemmy.world rejected the posts somehow?

It seems to happen non-deterministically. Some posts have made it through. This has been ongoing for at least a couple of weeks now.

Any ideas?

Edit: this post did federate... could it be to do with posts with images or something?

Hi fediverse,

When using the Prime Video app on my Toshiba android TV, durring playback every so often a glitchy frame flashes past.

The frame is usually a corrupted mess of pink, black and white. Needless to say: very bloody annoying.

Stuff that I tried so far:

  • disable subtitles
  • disable hdr in prime app settings
  • pausing and unpausing
  • clear app cache
  • curse crappy TV OS and cry

Other ideas that are more effort:

  • clear app data and start afresh
  • try a separate chromecast

Any ideas before I try those? Thanks

I recently had to migrate my team's CI from Bors-NG to Github Merge Queues. In this post I share my experience in doing so.

Hi,

I've been using Jerboa for some time, but one day it started saying "unable to verify JWT token" and I appeared to be not logged in any more.

So I removed the account and tried to re-add it. It crashes every time after entering my password.

Tried clearing the cache. No good.

Any ideas?

I wonder if any Olight owners can clarify something about their specs.

Take the i5t for example:

  • Level 1: 300-150-30 lumens, 3+25+122 minutes.
  • Level 2: 15 lumens, 20 hours.

Those measurements for Level 1, does the torch abruptly step down to the next luminosity, or are those readings more like samplings of a smooth discharge curve?

Thanks

Hey,

With the nights drawing in again, I've started using my Fenix LD02 (v1) pocket torch again. The problem is, the last couple of times I've come to use it, the battery has been dead because it's too easy to switch on accidentally in a pocket/bag.

I think the problem is, the switch is unguarded, so if it bumps against anything, it switches on. I have a Fenix E12 (v1) which doesn't have this issue, presumably because it has metal guards around the tail switch. Sadly the E12 is just a little too big for the wallet I want to carry my torch in, otherwise I'd just use that.

I've tended to stray away from twist-to-turn-on. I had one once and the head section would always come off in my pocket. Maybe it's unfounded?

So what's better for me? Requirements:

  • One AAA battery.
  • No thicker than 15mm.
  • No longer than 90mm.
  • 2 or 3 brightness modes.
  • Either a hard to accidentally activate tail switch, or a solid twist switch that won't come apart in my pocket.
  • Max £30

Does such a thing exist?

Thinks I've considered:

  • Lumintop EDC01 (but it's a twisty)
  • Olight i3e (but it's twisty and I think only one brightness level)
  • Olight i3t (but it has an unguarded tail light)
  • Fenix E01 (but it's twisty)
  • Lumintop tool AAA (has a partially guarded tail switch)
  • Stick with the LD02 and just twist the head to detach the battery while not in use (annoying).

I'm most tempted to try the Lumintop EDC01 because it's very cheap. The Olight i3t looks best quality, but I'm unsure if I'd have the same problem as I have with the LD02.

Thanks!

You've seen a Schiit stack. Well here's a Sabaj stack.

The headphone amp is cheap and good. Completely black background and three gain levels.

The dac unit has a ton of inputs including coax, optical and Bluetooth. Sadly Bluetooth mode induces RF interference, but I rarely use it, so meh.

The dac unit is now discontinued.
