Yeah, I was thinking the same. Seems like he just smashed through the wall.

So what is this about?

Why would NixOS need a fork? Something happened in the community?

Celestial cards

With celestial cards, do you mean spectral cards? I was thinking that celestial cards and planet cards refer to the same thing.

I don't have any bad will towards churches and think there are members which really help the local community in many ways.

But I never grew up with any religion, so it would be weird for me to join and participate in such a community.

This I could do. But where do you find places nearby which are teaching/helping refugees?

That’s pretty interesting. I can’t imagine it being very well paid though, but I wouldn’t know.

I’m actually quite good with PowerPoint. Even made templates in the past.

But I think it would be better to do something with more social contact at the moment. I already do a lot of programming and it would be nice to meet more people in this new city and not spend too much time behind my computer.

Alfred’s teach yourself adult book

Thanks for the suggestion!

I never remember names of songs or artists, so I find it difficult to find some nice song to play and sing to. I vaguely remember wanting to play rocket man because it would be nice to be able to play and sing at the same time.

Amazing that you managed to play for your family and got people to sing with you, that's already much further than I ever got.

ok, so seems like I will have to use a double bang then. It does not seem match ddg bangs 1:1 though. And some don't seem to be working correctly on my instance (E.g. !!mc for metacritic redirects to the wrong page)

This surprised me about lemmy actually. When posting something to reddit, it would usually get lost in other posts. And I'd have to try and posting it at another time or with a better title.

Here people always seems to reply, and with very helpful suggestions most of the time. I had this experience with all my posts.

It seems like the quality and amount of useful replies is much better on lemmy compared to reddit.

No disc golf options nearby sadly. Martial arts , I have a few options. I think there is an aikido and a jijutsu dojo nearby.

Prices are pretty high for classes here though. I’m also not sure what kind of martial arts i would enjoy. I tried judo and Brazilian jijutsu in the past, but found it a bit difficult to enjoy.

Cycling can be such a great way to extend your range of activities without having to pay a lot! My new place is quite bikeable. Although there are places which I would rather avoid, especially closer to the city center.

I really dislike searching online for good second hand options though. Seems like most people here use facebook marketplace, and I'd rather avoid spending too much time browsing for the right bike. (I'm pretty tall. so not always easy to find something.)

This sounds pretty nice actually. I really like the concept of openstreetmaps and I'm surprised what kind of details you can find on it. Do you know if anything like street complete exists for iOS? Unfortunately my current phone is not an android, but might switch to one in the future.

How do you find the interesting places to explore though? I feel like google maps is very good for searching specific things, but when I just want to look around there are too many irrelevant locations. And as far as I know, there is no option to filter out specific things (like don't show restaurants or retail stores for example)

What kind of songs did you learn with? I had a bit of classical training, but those songs very often use the full range of the piano. Or at least have a low bas line and use the higher notes for melody.

Would be nice to learn some pop songs or other well known things which are easy to play on a small keyboard. But I don't really know if there are any resources with some songs to start.

Yeah. Even before COVID I was not really a talkative person. But with everybody quarantining, even I felt like I needed more social contact.

Normally I wouldn’t even post that much to reddit or Lemmy. But now I try to do it a bit more. I would like to become better at expressing myself and talking my mind

I know a bit of piano :) But didn’t bring my digital piano with me (too bulky)

I do have a small midi keyboard that I brought with me. But I’m not really familiar enough with making nice sounding songs.

Do people just switch octaves to be able to play full songs? Or are there songs specifically made to play on a small midi controller?

I liked playing around in ableton live. But i suck pretty bad, and I don’t know anybody who knows a bit about it. (Or plays an instrument)

I actually like bodyweight fitness! Would love to learn some gymnastics too.

I have a gym very close by my home, but classes are 60$ per session or something. So not really frugal.

Would be cool to just meet up with some people in a park and do exercises together. Not sure of something like that exist here though.

Yeah, I’m already helping on a local farm. But i don’t think I’ll find any leads for a job from the people there (i mostly do tutoring and software engineering)

I’m not sure what would be good other places to volunteer. A museum maybe?

I tend to be kinda superficial with people i don’t know though. I would love to be better at getting to know people and making friends.

I use the closest one to me from searx.space. I suppose hosting an instance yourself will give you the best response times, but it always still takes a moment while it searches through multiple search engines. If you only care about the results of one engine (e.g. google) then you could disable the others. Might speed it up a bit.

I didn't know that, very useful. I suppose this is only for using other search engines like google, bing, etc... right?

Or can it also search immediately on other websites like metacritic, rotten tomatoes by using bangs?
