| [01:04:30] | <JasonJoe[m]> | Hi there... I am a small scale farmer in Australia running between 50 and 100 head of cattle. I have been exploring various options to bring my farm records into the 21st century. |
| [01:10:25] | <JasonJoe[m]> | I have been testing a tool offered by a livestock scale maker Agrieid (their software is called Livestockpro) but not that keen on their pricing model which is going to cost me $20 / month for some basic animal paddock tracking so thought I would give FarmOS a go |
| [01:14:58] | <JasonJoe[m]> | I manage a couple basic websites with a business web hosting provider so was going to see if I can install and host a version of farmos on the same web servers. |
| [02:37:17] | <FarmerEd[m]> | I'm using farmOS self hosted for a small cattle farm also. You can't beat the price anyway. |
| [02:38:11] | <FarmerEd[m]> | Or the flexibility, especially if you are somewhat inclined to thinker with some code. |

| [12:02:20] | <mstenta[m]> | Any math wizards know how to figure out the precision of a terminating fraction? :-) |
| [12:02:39] | <mstenta[m]> | eg: given 1/8, which converts to a decimal of 0.125, how do we figure out that the precision is 3 in code? |
| [12:02:57] | <mstenta[m]> | (using math, not string parsing) |
| [12:03:05] | <mstenta[m]> | is it possible? |
| [12:03:07] | <mstenta[m]> | context: https://www.drupal.org/project/fraction/issues/3350383 |
| [12:05:16] | <mstenta[m]> | I feel like this is either something obvious and my brain isn't fully awake yet... or it's one of those impossible mathematical conjectures that's never been solved 😆 |
| [12:06:02] | <mstenta[m]> | (or there's a clever well known solution that I would love to learn!) |
| [15:08:45] | <mstenta[m]> | 🏆️ credit to jgaehring for this solution (given the denominator of a terminating fraction, no numerator necessary):... (full message at <https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/v3/download/libera.chat/f015029caf...) |
| [15:08:59] | <mstenta[m]> | calcDecimalPlaces(8) returns 3 |
| [15:14:18] | <mstenta[m]> | I also had a friend ask ChatGPT... and the response was very thorough and... wrong. 😂 |

| [15:32:53] | <FarmerEd[m]> | Yea...I asked ChatGPT some Drupal questions and got very detailed and convincing solutions which turned out to be totally off the mark. |

| [19:29:09] | <JasonJoe[m]> | I am playing around using the 30 day free hosted trial offered by Farmier but ideally would like to host it myself. A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing... and finding the installation instructions on the website is just a little beyond my basic server install knowledge which is a little rusty... is there a step by step guide for dummies (like) me ? Once I have worked out how to get it installed I will do a video for the |
| [19:29:09] | <JasonJoe[m]> | novices like me and possibly how I get it all setup as think it will help others. |
