    Hej folks!I need your advice. My family loves to record TV shows, but as I just recently learned their TV DRMs all the records which makes switching super hard. I was playing around with Linux and DVR last time 25 years ago, so I wonder:What is the current state of the art setup for TV recording for cool kids? You know, DRM-free, recordable on an external USB drive, etc.Ideally looking for a set top box that I can just plug in, but willing to glue stuff together.#fedihelp #askfedi

    @ShaulaEvans This folding magnifying glass. It's compact and invaluable when you need to ready tiny text at the limit of your unaided sight. Especially with poor lighting, in a hurry, or under stress.

    Question. Is there some kind of device that works as a sort of USB rate limiter? that just throttles the amperage going to a USB device?Problem: I bought a tiny USB-powered ceiling fan, but it runs waaaaay too fast. That's to solve the bigger problem of heating efficiency, which is that in my RV, the ceiling at 6ft will be 80F while the human area is 60F and the floor is 40F.It does solve that but at what cost? The cost of noise, cool breezes, and a jittery threatening aura, that's what. We're not talking entire BTUs of air needing moved here. There are walk-in closets bigger than my house. I expected a gentle waft setting just to keep things slightly circulating. It has 3 setting: Pretty Fast, Freaking Fast, and Freaking Fuck Faster.I would settle for "Half Fast Nine." The thing advertises itself at 5W and I would like it to run like it really is 5W tyvm.I'm not about to open'er up and solder in a bunch of resistors. The only thing I was truly good at in electronics school was catching breadboards on fire. (This is a true story. Yes, I was trying to burn things. They let me graduate.)Is there some kind of USB dongle I can attach in the middle that will just say, "Nope, slower'er down a wee but, yae canae* have that much power"?* Sorry, I've been watching Limmy stream Disco Elysium and his accent is stook in me 'ed. Pretend I'm from Star Trek.#RightToRepair #AskFedi #RVLife

    I need to have a septoplasty and my ENT recommended half a dozen clinics.I excluded a couple because they're too inconvenient and now I don't know how to pick one.What would you recommend, keeping in mind i'm already panicking about post-op sleep deprivation and difficulty breathing?#askfedi
