Low safeguards agains eff-ups everywhere!!1
I was a fond Motorola phone user at one point. I still receive their offers via email. They remind me of a time long gone when "setting up an outgoing email server" worked by way of bash-scripting and no one cared, or knew about security, however implicit.
I myself may or may not have b0rked up a mass email campaign sent via our hacky tool on the first job. "Dear $fristname," ... lol. Long ago. Product quality focus at Moto may have changed too.
The relative attention to detail too warrants some cynicism: they too seem to have low safeguards agains eff-ups in the marketing domain. In emails they address me as %%=v(@firstname) at times and have funny, wacky autotranslations on the landing or product pages. Oh please.
FWIW, I would maybe still use my Moto X Style of 2015 had the battery not gone down to about two minutes of use in the end, after 3 years. Or my DIY replacement efforts would have worked out, which didn't happen, because the screws they used are both tiny and their head would wear out on attempt to unscrew. Sigh.
I still applaud the excellent cameras, hardly any oversharpening, and overall smooth evenly lit pictures. The Moto gestures. And perfect proportions, good grip and weight distribution. They just don't make them like that anymore. In contrast, sometimes the current Moto product policy makes me shake my head a little, they sure cram very many models into the mid-to-low-tier range.

#followerpower Fällt mir ja spät auf, aber manche Fahrradteile sind Verschleißteile. Also, sind dafür gemacht verschlissen zu werden. So auch meine die ich tauschen will, Kette, Kettenblätter, Kassette.
Der gute Mensch im Fahrradladen sagte also, kein Problem er könne mir einen Satz derselben Qualität wieder einbauen. Die Art wie er das sagte dämmerte mir dass ich mir dieselben Probleme nach einigen Jahren wieder einhandele damit. Professionelles understatement mag ich ja.
Also will ich jetzt was besseres (=haltbareres) kaufen, wo man die Kettenblätter verschraubt und ggf einzeln auswechseln kann, und eine Kette die nicht so ein Spiel entwickelt wie jetzt, jedenfalls nicht schon nach (grob überschlagen) 5000km.
SRAM, diese gut? Ich bin immer noch etwas verloren was Hersteller angeht, und die Vorteilskommunikation verwirrt mich.

New bike parts needed, help me decide
So I have this 7+ years old bike that serves me well for city type getting around. Nowadays the chain might jump when I accelerate, which is not good for busy junctions and generally city traffic.The bike shop repair guy says "bike has shark" referring to the shape of various worn out bits. I'd be in for 150€ of repair costs in replacement parts and labour. All parts traction need replacing, front, chain and rear. See photos; never mind me not cleaning it. This is all the Shimano SiS and Acera stuff the bike came with. The derailleur gears can stay if you ask me.
What parts can I get in order to a) make the next set last longer than the factory default, and b) maybe save me a buck or two if I'm going DIY? Or should I get something different to max out the mentioned, proposed budget? I'm fine with spending that amount or similar if that gives me both peace of mind and 7+ years of hassle-free cycling.
But. Any bike parts website is giving me a headache. Too many options cause choice pollution. I have a hard time from separating marketing blurbs from statements about, say, durability.
I haven't done this type of work in two decades, however I think I can get it right given half a day or so. Any advice on what to get?

Have doggo search for truffles
In the right setting, I hear, training your dog to find truffles is a good thing, rewarding emotionally for both dog and owner.
You ever done that?
After the (probably multi session training) in a controlled environment that ensures reward for the dog you can go elsewhere and do as trained, and find more. Or so I imagine that this works.

Koncerto de Orliński
Ĉi vespere mi spektis koncerton de Jakub Józef Orliński #LetsBaRock kun komponaĵoj ptezentantajn muzikon mezepokan en la nuntempaj muzikstiloj - ĵazo, roko, popo kaj eĉ hip-hopo.
Mi estas ravita - ĉio kunagordis, la voĉo de la kontratenoro kaj sonoj de liaj kunkorcentantoj fluis intermiksante, kvazaŭ kreante sian propran historion.

Mi decidis ekuzi #logseq en mia laboro. Nun mi notas la tutan labortagon en kajereto markante farendaĵojn kaj decidojn. Projektoj estas ĉiu en sia dosierujo kaj havas siajn notojn, tial mi kopias (tajpas) notojn pri la koncerna projekto de la kajereto en la komputilon.
Tiu labormaniero tre similas al tiu de #logseq, kiu baziĝas je taglibro (ĉiu tago estas aparta dosiero) kiun oni povas ligi kun dokumentoj ekz. pri projektoj.
Portempe, mi intencas daŭre noti ĉion en la kajereto kaj kopii (entajpi) ĉion en #logseq aldonante ligilojn kaj kradvortojn.

How to I auto-crosspost again? Such that posting on nerdica.net pushes post to mastodon, and images from pixelfed get posted here too? I forgot.
Since I'm using this nerdica instance, pixelfed and mastodon, and the last round of setup is from many moons ago, I need to ask.
Thank you in advance; links to given documentation are fine.

New #blog post talking about social media protocols like #ActivityPub, #Nostr, and #AT (Bluesky). It's not entirely new, I posted a comparison in January, but this updated version fixes two mistakes I made and is updated to reflect some changes that occurred since the original post.
Also, as with my previous post, obligatory original meme to accompany the post.

Hello From Friendica - Quick Activity Pub cross compatibility test
Hi, sorry, I hope this isn't to spammy, I was revising some writings on the various social media protocols and wanted to test some stuff before I stated it as fact.
Anyway, I might as well provide some potentially interesting information instead of just completely worthless spam. What it appears (and confirms if you're seeing this) is that you can post to lemmy via a blogging/microblogging instance as long as you '@' the lemmy community. First line is the title and the rest is the post itself.
Have a good night everyone.
edit: testing edits
like this
Yeah, there should be a permalink icon and a fediverse icon (at least on desktop) on each post that you can click on for a link. Pasting that in search on any instance 'should' pull up the post or reply. Worked last night for me on Friendica, but just failed right now with a different link for some reason. The same link that failed on Friendica now just worked on my old Mastodon account, though, so could be be a hiccup or a slightly slow server in my case.
How do I view your profile? I went to your server, but it just tells me to login. I couldn't find any instance feed or search button.

Das ist richtig voll da mit Blumen @Stefanie Neumann
Das andere Bild zeigt eine Fläche wo recht viel Gräser wachsen. Auch die Gelben Blüten dominieren ganz Flächen. Die sind ja auch so hoch, also höher als ich selbst. Darum freut es mich, dass jetzt auch die anderen Blumen noch gut gekommen sind.

Eigentlich hab ich nur mal geguckt und versucht mich ganz normal wieder einzuloggen. Dann war ich auch schon gleich wieder hier drin. Sogar die Blockliste existierte noch. Aber das andere war weg.
Ich hab ja auch bei Hubzilla ein Profil. Komisch, dass ich dieses Profil zwar eine Kontaktanfrage senden kann, aber die kommt nicht an.

Bei Hubzilla ist es nicht so einfach von Friendica aus. Darum hab ich die Verbindungnachfrage gelöscht und dann noch mal von Hubzilla aus gestartet. Das geht ohne Probleme.
