That's unfortunate, thank you for giving it a solid try!

My primary instance is stable, and the admin is quite able. I'd consider stepping up. I definitely don't want to be the only mod for any period of time. It's not just the time commitment, it's the implicit non-democratic status of the sub when one person makes all the mod calls. I'm @____@infosec.pub there, incidentally.

Edit: Went ahead and created it as a placeholder, pending any necessary further discussion or other volunteers here. !fountainpens@infosec.pub

Since content is instance-dependent, it might be nice to have a mirror on some other stable instance - not sure how to sync them so both get each others' posts, but don't duplicate though. This group in particular tends to have a lot of high-quality content and losing it is a blow - especially to noobs, who we actively want to be friendly and accessible to.

Is there a library for the API? Would be nice to seed a new community with some/all of the content here, if you don't object. Not like the reddit mirror bot posting a ton of things, but for initial content. Would prefer not to lose it all.

This is awesome. Stateside they’re often tied to phone number, and/or buried in the (otherwise worthless) app

Shared loyalty cards really are a privacy necessity, I know exactly how much data those stores already have on me, and it’s a privacy nightmare.

I always thought that people who liked, um… “cold” partners preferred them fresh or nearly so.

Is there anything left of him except bones?

Ok that’s enough internet for me…

That’s pretty bad, perhaps outshined only by your and your partner’s child

I like that. It seems the internet with theoretically good answers for things that can be difficult to find. Blog format is much easier to skim that SO, and as long as the post titles are valid and meaningful, it’s a quick check for usefulness before reading.

Sleeper cars on Amtrak were my saving grace when I was regularly traveling between Chicago and upstate NY.

It’s not nearly as long of a trip, and Chicago is a decent station to hang out in, buy being horizontal, getting actual sleep, and having a bathroom not shared by 4.100 other folks made it bearable and feel pretty quick.

You’re my wonderwaaaaaalllllllllllll….

Love it. Miss my keyboard, badly. Was a die hard Crackberry user for many years.

I see a reference to adding a lightning connector. Is it that trivial to adapt?

I was just thinking the other day how nice it would be to port pamac into some more prod-oriented environments.

Looking through the docs, it appears to tick most of the boxes I’d want, will have to play with it in the coming days.

Have an upcoming project that will actually require some consistency and documentation, this might be useful.

I don’t mind building when necessary, but doing so is not calculated to communicate well with future me, so it’s not ideal.

Betteridge’s Law of Headlines - I find it has near universal applicability.

Sailor 21 - Converter (wayfarershaven.eu)
submitted 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) by MidwayTheMagnificent@wayfarershaven.eu to c/fountainpens@wayfarershaven.eu

Got a fair price on ebay on a couple of Sailor 21s. Love them, but modern converters seem to fit only in theory.

Cutting them down works, but also makes it nearly impossible to advance or retract, because there's no leverage on the screw that moves the plunger.

Am I missing an obvious source here?

Edit: They can be made to unscrew if a syringe is used to push the plunger up consistently, there's just enough to grab onto. Still not ideal, but...

Clairefontaine Triomphe - it comes in lined, but for 90g paper it's surprisingly translucent - enough so that the guide sheet they include is clearly visible.

I might have a problem... (wayfarershaven.eu)

Currently inked list just keeps getting longer...

Context: I take a ton of notes in meetings, journal, and make lists - for now, I have them all lined up on my left. I take one from the right, use it, and when I put it down it goes on the left.

Next time I need a pen, I grab the next one, and so on. Makes it much easier to discern where things start and end.

Alt text for image: Currently Inked:

  • Perkeo / Pumpkin
  • Plasir / Golden Ivy
  • Metropolitan / Peridot
  • Safari / Midway the Magnificent
  • Sport / Comet SL9
  • Kakuno / Earl Grey
  • Safari / Pink Sugar Beach
  • Safari / Julia
  • Preppy / Quinuai
  • Perkeo / Hana Ikada
  • Prefounte / Apple Glory
  • Preppy / Topical Glow
  • Perkeo / Song Southern Country -Perkeo / Hotaru Bi
  • Sailor / Peach Haze
  • Perkeo / Sodalite
  • Sport / O.F. Schwartz
  • Safari / Tsutsuji.

Each written with the pen and ink combo in question.

Wiki? (wayfarershaven.eu)

Do we have a wiki? Didn't see one, in the sidebar. Would be willing to host and port content from r/fp. There was some very useful data/collected wisdom there.

Edit 23-08-10: It's live, and there's even some content there. Descend freely upon it, y'all know what to do. :) Working on rules, wiki, and the trappings of communities that aren't yet baked into the codebase.

Nice to meet you all, I used to be active over on the other place...

One of the resources I liked having was Pen_Swap - is there any interest here in something like that?
