  • I don't get how people didn't realize that you're not supposed to follow what he does day after day. He says and does outrageous things so the algorithms and media like him, so he's everywhere. Is making a personal choice to be exposed to such news all the time really healthy for you? Being exposed to live news and following them is an illusion of the "civic duty" of being informed. Better read a history book to give context to current events than forget the news you read now an hour later.

    I prefer my US news slow - after they've been left to simmer for 2 weeks. And I agree with OP that they should be contained.

  • Brand new bag

    Jump

  • It has to do with the "fashion language" and what each item "is speaking".

    To me, a synthetic jacket speaks "trekking" (even though you can wear it anywhere, not necessarily trekking), a backpack is also "trekking"-ish so it matches in my head. But if you have a tailored wool sports coat with clean silhouette lines, which speaks "city"/"elegant", and you slap a synthetic (or any for that matter) backpack on top it clashes to me. I guess it would also wear down the more delicate wool weaves from friction.

    Say, I wouldn't want to wear a backpack with something like this or this

    But to me it would be more fitting with something like this or in general when trekking around somewhere.

    Again, do what you want - I concede that backpacks are more comfortable. To me it just looks better with certain clothes and worse with others.

  • It depends on what you're wearing. Synthetic jacket? Backpack is OK. Wool coat? Sports coat? You can dress however you want, but why did you chose that way in particular man

    I like the Osprey Daylite Tote because it's a convertible backpack<->tote so you can switch. Also qualifies as personal item on low cost airlines

  • There is no such thing as too much style.

  • I have the HMD variant of Nokia 110 and it calls ambulance on it's own if I put it into the backpack because the keyboard lock is dogshit (you can still press numbers which are part of emergency numbers like 112, 911 etc. even if the keyboard lock is enganged, this is their way of letting anyone call emergency services without unlocking like on smartphones). It did it twice now, so I switched to HMD 2660 which is a flip phone, so it can't have its buttons be pressed if it's folded closed. Literally the emergency team called me back saying they're about to block my number.

    S30+ is a good OS (just buy flip phones, not candy bar form factor due to the kb lock xddd), I'm impressed by the features it has, even though it didn't strictly need to. I guess it's because it's been around forever Nokia could polish it. For example:

    • You can pick up a call with 3.5mm jack headphones center button (if your headphones have media controls).
    • You can add your own words to the T9 dictionary.
    • You can have two separate languages for the T9 dict (one comes from the phone UI language, second from keyboard language).
    • You can put the call into the background and use the phone as you speak - this is useful if you call your bank and they ask you for a code send to your phone for verification.

    I wish HMD would start selling the charging cradle for HMD 2660 I think almost a a year after release...

    HMD will never update your phone after you buy it. HMD 110 4G still has the Facebook app, which when you open it it says "This page is no longer supported" or something. The newer HMD 2660 doesn't have the app anymore. It just goes to show that they update the software only when releasing a new phone, they don't provide non-critical updates to previous models.

    HMD also dropped the ball with HMD 110 4G because the Unisoc T127 cpu supports hotspot, but they just decided not to implement it.

  • What was your Android app of 2025?

    Jump

  • https://f-droid.org/packages/de.quantumphysique.trale/

    It's a weight tracking app. It keeps all the data locally and keeps bugging you to back the local data up somewhere. It's just so subtly good - it has this "stats" screen which is for some reason addictive to keep checking - it shows your current BMI, how many days you have left till your goal weight. It graphs your weight. The log-weight-by-dragging-the-scale thing is also great. There's 3 total views in the app - that's it.

    I don't know it's just sensorially respectful?

  • The wool content is low, most of their wool blend models can be found here.

    The wool models are:

    I think the company good is if you like colorful designs rater than boring monocolored socks like I posted in the OP. I would stick to the cotton models due to the composition (e.g. little shepherd has 87% cotton) to support the foundatins that the company supports.

  • Thunders Love's composition to price ratio is pretty crazy. 35€ for 40% wool. Some of the models have no composition

    Our socks are designed in a little village in the North west of Spain, at the bottom of a beautiful estuary, at the mouth of Lerez river, near Portugal border, there they are produced in small family workshops by hosiers who have been doing this throughout three generations.

    Calcetines Mestizaje seems to have a few merino models - 1, 2 with ~80% wool content at a good price

    Proximity fashion and local workshopsOur product is manufactured in a family, local workshops with a limited production in which the love and experience is put to provide a product of almost artisanal quality, with parameters that make it a close, sustainable and proximity fashion item.The workshop is located in Pradoluengo (Burgos) a region with a long tradition of production and manufacture of textile work.

    Miss Calcetines has a lot of (80%) wool models in nice rough texturebut they're all One Size? https://misscalcetin.es/collections/lana

    The about us page in Spanish says they're made in Spain at the bottom of the page, which is nice.

    Arctic Bay seems to be cotton only

  • Bro what is happening to this community lately? This has nothing to do with "buying european" as a consumer, it's not a brand or product recomendation.

    Do not use this community to promote Nationalism/Euronationalism. This community is for discussing European products/services and news related to that. For other topics the following might be of interest:

    Is anyone else in the market for an aircraft carrier to be interested in it as an European product?

  • What DDNS providers you guys recommend?

    Jump

  • Same. I have a router with OPNsense. In the "Dynamic DNS" section I create a "Custom" service with the DynDNS2 protocol. I type in update.dedyn.io as the server address. You need to also get an api key from the desec.io web panel that you input into the username and password fields.

    Now everytime the router's WAN ip changes it automatically edits the DNS zone. So instead of going "your server -> DDNS provider -> DNS CNAME record" it's just "your server -> DNS A record"

    I also have a separate token for my web proxy (traefik) so that it can edit the DNS records to get let's encrypt certificates through dns challenge as you describe.

    As for the desec signups in my case one DNS zone was no problem, but for a second one I needed to e-mail them:

    Hello, would it be possible for my newly created account to get one more domain on the account please? I have two personal domains and it would be great if I could keep them both under deSEC

    Hi [me], Sure! The limit is mostly there to remind users to enable DNSSEC, but it looks like you're already doing that (at your old provider).

    They asked me to (voluntarily) donate, which I did too.
