if you have an outdoor air quality monitor that you like, what kind do you have and what are its pros and cons?

I'm looking into them again and would love some Fedi input.

I am most interested in monitoring particulate matter, anything else is a bonus. I need something that runs on batteries and/or is rechargeable. What do you recommend? 1/n

Hey #woodworking thing-knowers, I recently bought a table saw, and on the rip fence is this attachment, the purpose of which I can't work out. It's a bar of what seems to be spring steel, with a pivot at one end, clamped to the back of the fence in the middle. Can anyone enlighten me to what it's for?
The saw is an Italian-made SCM SI-12, probably thirty to forty years old.

Convince me I should spend time time to re-download my entire Bandcamp collection in not-mp3.

Challenge mode; Don't run the "sounds better" playbook. What are some interesting technical merits of more open formats like flac & ogg vorbis?

Swedish/Svenska connections, I need some help! I ordered a book that shipped via PostNord. My tracking number, which was "letter" not "international", says it was delivered last night (not very likely), but the post office has no record. My Swedish is basic and not suited to business, so I have to translate the website.

NEVER MIND! UPDATE BELOW!

Hey fedizens,
I'm having some issues with #PeerTube using #NewPipe and I'm wondering whether it's just me or if it's a more general issue.

Some PeerTube channels are missing sound on NewPipe, e.g.:

- peertube.mesnumeriques.fr/w/5V
- subscribeto.me/w/ucv4VNJJqZkmx

Could anyone here let me know if they can reproduce the issue on their phone?

It does not affect all of PeerTube, but before I start comparing versions and other technical stuff I want to make sure it not just me 😅

Boost if appropriate!

Fediverse: suggest me the best (introductive) political philosophy book that I can binge on instead of doomscrolling.

Bonus point if it includes indigenous philosophies and bonus bonus points if it includes women philosophers or scientists!

I'm already familiar with reading secondary texts on philosophy, as I've read a fair amount of will durant and have been 'trying' to read A.C Grayling.

I'm loosely familiar with anarchism and Marxism purely from being affiliated with communists and anarchists online, but haven't read both the philosophies thoroughly.

Thank you fedi, stay kind and swag

Back when I was in university, I would draw this over and over. It’s a version of my name (a name which I have never felt entirely attached to).

The symbol has resurfaced as I am set to return to a type of work I did at that time, before I finished uni and started “adult stuff”

Like a spiral or returning of some sort.

I think I’ll carry it with me/draw it again as an expression of gratitude and reminder to keep who I am close by.

Others running into things like this in midlife?
