   Deleted my account for "advertising"

   Former blogger for Second Life virtual world. ~ Had my account revoked after I was told my blogging was "advertising", even though 100's of other users do the exact same thing. Years of work down the tubes. Will never use it again. ~ Note: They are doing this to push for "PRO" memberships, because the company is hurting for money.

• Why I Bought an Encyclopedia

  Try Kiwix. It's an offline reader, you can download the complete English-language Wikipedia, complete with media, in about 100GB. They also have a bunch of other collections like Project Gutenberg. https://kiwix.org/en/. - Source: Hacker News / 16 days ago

• An Introduction to the WARC File

  Very helpful to know that! Zimit[1] also uses warc files as an intermediate step to producing Zim files. You can use these Zim files to read and search websites offline with the excellent app Kiwix[2]. I think 'Kiwix for Android' and the Kiwix PWA support Zim files made with Zimit, with the support with the desktop Kiwix application currently work-in-progress.

• Wikipedia-grounded chatbot “outperforms all baselines” on factual accuracy

• Downloadable resources?

  It is pretty massive, but you can get the whole thing in a .zim file from kiwix.org. I downloaded it from there and put it on all my units before shipping them out. Source: 12 months ago

• Instagram alternatives for promoting business, now that EU laws messed it up?

  Is flickr.com still alive? It used to be so cool back in the day, but I dropped off from photography in general over like the past decade, so have no clue how things are going over there. Source: 8 months ago

• 20mm or 35mm prime lens

  20mm will look wider on your Z6II than your D40x but it should look the same as it does on any other FX body like the D780 or the D850. Go on flickr.com and search for photos taken with 20mm lenses. You can type 20mm in the search bar. Make sure you look at photos taken with full a full frame camera. If those match the look you are going for, go ahead and grab the 20mm. Source: about 1 year ago

• Some kid said you only these maintenance trains every 20 years?

• Question to Experienced ancestry user:

  When you scan your images, you can reduce the quality. You might consider getting a subscription to an on-line photo system, like flickr.com, where you can upload original images of high quality. You could have lower-quality ones on ancestry, or just use an outside link to the photo record you have. Source: about 1 year ago
