BirdNET-Pi: direct file editing

I've been editing files on my BirdNet-Pi systems via my laptop.

This post just describes the procedure I use.

BirdNet-Pi: portable operation, mics & bird dogs

Its been an interesting couple of weeks.

I've experimented quite a bit with my BirdNET-Pi system and even built a second system.

BirdNet-Pi: intro, install, use

Which bird species visit our garden?

 

BirdNET-Pi may not fully answer that question.

But it may reveal some unexpected visitors.

Prostate Cancer: is the fog in my brain clearing?

Another blood test, and another oncology review.

 

Are my Zolodex side effects wearing off?

Linux Mint: replacing gnome-screenshot

The default screenshot program on Mint doesn't really do it for me.

 

So I started investigating a better solution.

Skoda Yeti: P20EE & the Emission Control light

We love our Skoda Yeti ...most of the time.

 

But when we go through a phase of 'dash-board disco' when fault lights come on & stay on, we soon get fed up and start looking at new cars!

Linux Mint: my cpu fan is roaring!

This is a very recent problem.

 I'm pretty convinced it was caused by a recent software update.

Linux: record audio from a website

Once in a while I need to do this.

 

There isn't always an obvious way to download audio or use a stream.

So this is a reminder of how to do it!

Grey Water for my Red Roses

Its summertime in southern England!

 

So that means its water-shortage-time.

The challenge is to keep your precious plants alive while minimising the use of fresh water.

Moths in Bognor

This is our first summer in our new house by the seaside!

 

We have been using our DIY moth trap to sample the local population of moths.

It was a slow start, but now looking very positive.

Telegram FOSS: didn't get the code

 I've just been struggling for a few days to get access to my Telegram account on my de-Googled phone.

 

It seems to be a common problem, but in my case I was overlooking one important point.

Now its fixed I need to write this note for future reference.

Prostate Cancer: coming off Zoladex

Hey! I'm still here, alive & kicking.

 

My cancer is still under control, and I've really enjoyed the last few years of my life.

Birdbox 2023: new home, new location, new birdbox

2022 was all about moving house

 

so I didn't have time to fire-up the birdbox system or even keep my eye on nesting progress.

And I'm not sure that this year will be much better, but here goes.

Laptop Power Hack

My Entroware Orion laptop developed a very annoying power problem. 

 

Sometimes it would unexpectedly go flat while in use with the power supply plugged in!

So what to do: send it back or bodge it?
