Currently in Mt Eden and hungry! Any suggestions for place to get a vegan (or veggie if that's too hard) feed?

Midi questions:
Midi is a serial connection and there exists a standard for sending it over TRS.
1. Do any phones support sending MIDI over the headphone jack or via a standard USB C to Headphone adaptor?
2. I assume midi over Bluetooth or midi over WiFi have some sort of documentation?
3. Is there an android app that will send midi in real time over the headphone jack or over Bluetooth or over WiFi (that I could use to play a busking organ)?
4. Can a phone with USB C be a usb host for a midi device, like can I plug my phone into a drum machine and output note-ons?

Hey, #lazyweb, what does it mean if I can VNC into my #raspberrypi from my laptop but not from my desktop (tried three viewers)? I've triple-checked the address and the port.
Edit: the laptop and desktop are both running Debian Trixie, fully updated, and the Pi is running RPOs, also fully updated.
This has modern #linux problem been annoying me for so long...
Under a Wayland session in #Ubuntu 24.04 my keyboard is en-US but under X11 its en-GB (which is correct)
I have searched, even asked Gemini and done everything (including XKB, XBB, gsettings etc ) but can not find a solution to set my Wayland session en-GB as default or even change it once logged in.
Its deeply annoying, any help or pointers would be great
Do I (or you!) know someone who has experience (or ability) working with Pagefind https://pagefind.app to implement search for an @11ty based website who also happens to be available for hire?
I need someone who can use the search API to create a custom implementation with custom HTML markup, not just set up the default Pagefind behavior (which I can do already).
Thank you! #lazyWeb
What's a tankie? (I forgot the exact meaning)

I'm looking for a #NextCloud hosting provider that uses data centers within #Canada or if that can't be had, another country that's not the US. Cloud and More is the only canadian partner listed on nextcloud.com, but from website it seems they're only after business customers. My interest is just for myself and family. What providers would you recommend?

I'm riding a #bikepacking race/holiday in October. Just learned the comms are all WhatsApp-based. I don't do Meta. So, what to do? #lazyweb
It's somewhat pathetic, but I do feel sometimes I miss out by refusing to use WhatsApp. Does anyone use a burner number service for such things? And/or say a Signal bridge service (Beeper?) to distance oneself from dealing with Meta direct? #privacy

What’s the best way to author an epub today? I’d like to edit the xhtml directly, but am struggling with the conversion and packaging. I’m unhappy with the output from InDesign and Calibre.
Surveillance tech CEO Dan Heinen says "It's not my job to play the ethics game" regarding the (ab)use of his product.
Right, and as the great Tom Lehrer sang: "'Once the rockets are up, who cares where they come down? That's not my department,' says Wernher von Braun."
Hey #LazyWeb, what’s the current thinking around long-term (monthslong) storage of laptops? Does one need to remove the battery? 
Dear #LazyWeb#AskFedi: is there a secret I-am-not-in-California option to " #docker compose build" to not time out if a build step involving software downloads takes too long (like >5min)? All the waterfowl-wending I have done indicates that this is a widely struck issue often but not always caused by broken DNS, but that at the bottom of the rabbit hole there is a hardcoded limit.
The error I am getting is "context deadline exceeeded" which occurs while my container build is (slowly) fetching a compiler tarball from a CPU vendor.

is there an open source fitness tracker? i've been using fitbit for years, but with the looming forced migration into google health, i very much want an alternative.
i don't care about notifications or GPS. i've explicitly disabled both on any device i use. i just want a slim device that does sleep, heart rate, and step tracking. ideally with easily exportable data. super bonus if i can run everything locally.
Assuming I do not care about commit IDs (I want to rewrite history after all) is there a #git tool out there, that would let me do a git rebase but squish/bucket things by date?
Example:
- Anything older than a year, squash by month
- Anything older than a month squash by week
I am using git to watch changes to some files, but at some point, I do not care so much about detailed older history, only detailed recent history.
Hey, short film fans! I'm looking for short films (under 20 minutes) about caregivers and caregiving (of children, of elders, sandwich generation, etc.).
Do you know of any short films that fit this bill?
Let me know about the caregiver films you love. Thank you.
