Is it possible to sharpen with a higher grit. Like 4k/6k if my knife is quite dull and has some chips? A colleague lend me his stone, but it seems very fine, so either my technique is bad, or it’s too fine to sharpen my knife.

So what should I look for when buying a sharpening stone? I was planning to buy one to sharpen the knives we have at home, but not sure what I should get and where to get one for a decent price.

To use the discounts?
It used to be pretty good, being able to get a full week if meals for 20 dollars or so. But now the discounts are spread over multiple boxes and it’s not really worth it anymore

Do you mean ‘pores instead of gills’ ? I think all mushrooms produce spores, no?

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.

Ublacklist works with searx? Good to know, I want to try this myself.

Your search results must be so clean and useful.

That’s why I still prefer searx. Duck duck go is basically just Bing results, right?

Seems like you also have the option to use the open source mixtral and llama3 models.

Also, if all the requests from their users go through their api request, i suppose is much more private than using your own account.

I’m not sure how they plan to monetise this though. Ai chat is not that cheap actually.

Oh, so it shows up between your search results? Sounds pretty horrible. Good that it’s toggle-able.

Is that something that would be blocked by an adblocker? Or are you talking about the shopping tab? I have not used that myself in duckduckgo

I also use SearxNG for all my searches at the moment. But the instance I use is not that fast. Might have to look into hosting one myself.

Hyprland seems pretty popular these days. I want to use it (or sway) but didn’t have the chance to figure out how to run it with my nvidia card

Yeah. He even has a server rack at home. But still uses windows for all his devices. Luckily he’s not crazy enough to run windows server.

That sounds pretty nice actually. I’m based in Sydney, but I don’t really find anything like a computer club nearby.

Maybe i just don’t know how to search for it.

I’m running NixOs as a daily driver for a while now. It’s the first time I want to actively convince people to try out a distro. But then I realise most people around me would not want to bother learning how to configure it.

Man, I wish there were more people around me who cared about discussing Linux and open source software. Only one person I know actually understands it, but he’s still running windows for games and programming.

Grift + wealth works even better.
