Hey #LazyWeb ! I'm trying to find the optimal angle for fixed solar panels in Belgrade, Serbia but web searches yield only #slop . It's about 44°47'N. Can someone direct me to a non-slop webpage on this topic? #solar

My jug (Electric kettle) has just died. What's a good one? I use it regularly, every day so cost isn't as important as reliability, speed, ease of use and maybe beauty.
Edit: 2 more criteria:
*No frickin bright LEDs, especially not blue!
*Ideally no plastic filter on the pouring spout. We noticed that this part on a friend's old kettle had disintegrated to basically nothing meaning their boiling water had likely had added plastic granules for some years.
Edit 2: Is there such a thing as a kettle with a warranty of greater than 2 years?

Is there a USB stick with a button that makes it switch between multiple separate filesystems/volumes? Like instead of pulling out the stick and plugging in another I just press the button and it changes internally to a different set of files which may have the same names as the files it contained before but with different content.

It could probably be done with a esp32s2Stick but I don't know where to buy a populated PCB of it.

Asking the #LazyWeb after I haven't found a device like that after a general search with the big search engines.

#lazyweb "bash: no job control in this shell"

I just saw this error message in a forum post. How is this even possible? I thought job control was the shell's responsibility. How can it abdicate that responsibility? Seems to happen when opening a shell in a podman container.

(Yes, I still don't understand job control.)

do you all have a preferred way to host a full-stack web project these days? render or railway or something similar? it seems like such a hassle i'm thinking of just getting rid of the backend in this project…

What's the sitrep on window managers with vertical tabs?

Web browsers with vertical tabs and tab groups are incredibly useful for organizing stuff, so I'd like to apply that power to the rest of my Linux desktop.

Don't want to use horizontal tabs like Haiku's window manager, because those kinds of interfaces tend to become monstrously claustrophobic if I have more than 5 items open.
Vertical tabs don't suffer from these kinds of scalability problems, mostly because my windows tend to be as tall as the screen.

I recently #didit and switched Form my old #iPhone to a @shiftphone with #shiftos-L which is basically #android #googlefree. Now I still have a problem.with my calendar: the ETAR calander app does not recognise ICS files that hold more than one appointment, or at least I have such a file where apple inserts six appointments, and etar calendar only the first one.
Any recommendation for a different calendar app or other ways to fix my problem? #lazyweb

#LazyWeb #IRS #USCitizenAbroad
Anyone out there who is
1. A US citizen permanently residing in Canada
2. Filing US tax returns on their worldwide income (as required by US law)
3a. Receiving payments from pensions based in the US, e.g. from working in the US for some years before moving to Canada
3b. Receiving payments from pensions based in Canada, e.g. from working here?

(If you're not, you are not expected to understand this.)

As I understand the Canada-US tax treaty, since Canada is my tax home:
a. Only Canada taxes Canada-origin pension payments.
b. The US taxes US-origin pension payments, but at a 15% rate.
c. Social security payments are taxed only by Canada. (And only 85% of the amount is taxable.)

I can figure out how to handle all this on my Canadian T1. I can see how to report US social security payments on my US 1040: just don't put them in my total income. (Unless there's some exclusion form analogous to 2555.) But how do I declare the 15%-rate pensions on my 1040?
