if you want to speed it up, you can set AI agents to automatically search the web for news related to that and alert you. So with all the heat for them to run you'll make your contribution to AMOC collapse. (and of course this is /s)

    since all the good jokes have already been made, I'll just point out that this reminds me of the "phone" interface described in William Gibson "jackpot" series.

    I took a look at the privacy policy (I'm fun at parties). I am happy to see that you clearly state that you don't trade/sell personal information. But what about aggregated anonymized data? Also, good point on stating that analytics are enabled only with cookies. I'd suggest you add a method for communication on point 6 (yes the email is at the bottom of the text, but it feels like it should be also there).

    Sorry if this comes through as antagonistic, it really isn't the case, I know writing those policies is hard even with the best intentions and I'm just offering a second pair of eyes on it. Look at this as (hopefully) "constructive feedback" :)

    ah I'm not disputing that! By all means read to them. I'm just saying that when they are babies and toddlers imho it's better something with some pictures. I think it makes more fun to them as they learn to point to things as well.

    to me what looks weird in the vacation pic is the alignment of torso and legs. It looks really off. In the hospital pic is more natural. So I'm inclined to agree with you that hospital is real and holiday isn't.

    Also, I was looking for an actual turtle in the holiday pic to check reflections, it took me a while to understand 😅

    The system reportedly carries 12 launch tubes positioned around the turret, arranged to provide protection against threats approaching from any direction rather than leaving blind spots an attacker could exploit

    looking at the pic in that article looks like it can't aim lower than the turret

    not all parents are savvy enough to know how to do it. not all parents have the parenting skills to do it, because they were not taught them in the first place. not all parents can always monitor their teen kids 24/7, because they might work multiple jobs and teens have (and rightly so) unsupervised time.

    also, you can teach them how many times you want that porn will fry their brains, but good luck reasoning at a logical level with a horny teen. Even before internet we managed to find and pass around porn mags, so it's as pointless as the war on drugs.

    amazing, thank you!

    Can I suggest you explain a bit more in detail the whitelist option please? Does it mean that the system should use the specified private dns only when connected to specific ssid?

    Hi, I'm in the market for a zigbee dimmer (no neutral). There is a rotary one from Candeo that technically is what I need, but honestly it looks a bit ugly.

    Anyone has a "soft button" switch to recommend? By soft button I mean something that:

    • if pressed once (short press) it turns on/off
    • with long press it increase/decrease power

    Even better if it's a 2-gang one.
    Thanks everyone!

     

    Hello everyone! I was thinking about starting a website where to dump some guides on stuff Iearn about selfhosting and general IT stuff.

    I don't want a WordPress or similar. I want static pages (but I'm ok with some JavaScript for navigation maybe, or for proper display on different kind of devices). Ideally I'd like to host it on an AWS S3 bucket since it has the built-in option for static hosting.

    I could even go back to the '90s and do it myself from scratch in textedit and html by hand, but I'm pretty sure there are better options out there.

    I took a look at Hugo but even that it seems overly complicated for what I need.

    Any ideas or suggestions?

    Thanks!

    Hi everyone! Can someone please recommend a game without monsters (but with animals)? I am running my minetest server at home and I'd like to start playing with my kid, but I really don't like the monsters bit. I just want a game where we can explore and build things together.

    Thanks!

    ETA: For anyone looking for the same thing: I've added the option

    only_peaceful_mobs = true

    in minetest.conf under minetest/data/games/mineclone2

    I've waited for the next night cycle and no monsters spawned. But a cow mooing behind me scared lol.

    Thanks to @GrappleHat@lemmy.ml for the tip!

     

    Hello everyone! I currently selfhost a matrix server but, seeing everyone talking about xmpp, I decided to try again with that one. I did try about 8-9 years ago but couldn't make it work (don't remember the issue, probably pebkac).

    My requirements are:

    • e2ee (I see OMEMO is the solution for this);
    • audio/video calls (looks like all the main clients/servers supports this with SIP or similar);
    • whatsapp bridge: this is very important as I currently use my matrix with element to chat (not calls) with all the whatsapp contacts.

    Would be nice if the server runs with docker images (but I see Prosody has the option so not an issue).

    So basically I am a bit stumped only on the whatsapp bridge thing. I see some github repos for that but they all seem quite old.

    Any help, pointers, suggestions would be appreciated.

    Thanks!
