- Comment on I made an audio thing 1 hour ago:
From the post, it sounds like it’s just whatever they ripped out of an old pair of Bluetooth headphones… So probably a proprietary purpose-built PCB rather than something more generalized like an esp32 or something.
- Comment on Massaging the neck and face may help flush waste out of the brain 3 days ago:
Study was done in mice, and it relies on massaging specific lymph nodes which are easily accessible for massage (sounds like most of the lymph nodes related to the brain-flushing mechanism are too deep in the neck to really get at).
Super curious if/where humans have analogues.
- Comment on What is the cutoff distance when you point and say [thing] is "here" or [thing] is "there"? 5 days ago:
Maybe I misunderstood your definition of locality. Inferring it based on your two examples which were both of great scale is difficult. Also on earth the air is mostly made of nitrogen.
- Comment on "And my dick fucks your wife more than you do. What's your point?" 5 days ago:
This is right, where every other comment in this thread is wrong.
Don’t take the bait.
Even just a flat OK is better than taking the bait. Honestly, silence is better.
Do you care? Then you are poor and mad.
- Comment on What is the cutoff distance when you point and say [thing] is "here" or [thing] is "there"? 5 days ago:
It’s beyond that, the context even matters. If I’m in my garage, and my car is parked in the driveway:
-If someone asks where the car is (implication my wife could be out getting groceries, it could be at the shop, etc…) the answer is “here” (on the premises) as opposed to “there” (the grocery store, the shop, etc)
-If I want to change the oil in my garage, I could as someone to bring it “here” (being the garage) because it’s currently “there” (the driveway).
In both cases, my location and the vehicles location is the exact same. “For what purpose?” Informs if something is “here” or “there”.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
In this and other similar contexts, when “it” isn’t really referring to anything specific, you can kind of consider it to be “The General State of Existence”.
It’s raining.
It’s cold.
It is what it is.
Make the best of it.
It’s Thursday.
It’s Friday.
Friday.
Gotta get down on Friday.
- Comment on WTF is a rural town in the USA? 1 week ago:
Another consideration might be how far your “town” is from a more major center.
A town with a population of 1000 might not feel that rural if it’s 10 miles down the road from a city of a million.
If the next closest center > 5,000pop is 250 miles away… Perhaps a different story.
I’ve hear it said that in Europe 100km is considered a long distance and in North America 100 years is considered a long time.

You would be shocked by the homogeneousness of even employers who are hiring STEM. Tribalism is real. They just chalk up the je ne sais qois to “fit”… But you take a step back and suddenly…

- Comment on Why Do Co-Op Stores Only Work in Small Towns? 3 weeks ago:
Western Canadian cities (pops of about 1mil) still have co-ops.
Not really an answer, just another data point for you.
- Comment on Fake reviews on Play Store by Plex staff 4 weeks ago:
For the record, I fucking hate Plex.
But this is a disingenuous simplification of where the gap is.
Me, my brother-in-law, and friend all share our libraries with the same elderly relatives.
The GAP is that great grandma has to log in/out between servers to find content that may or may not be on an individual server. Plex lets you search/aggregate from all sources without having to jockey credentials and servers.
It’s not a giant ask. I heard a fucking absolutely brain-dead take that “that would require a centralized server which is against Jellyfins core ideology”.
So, I dunno. Maybe it isn’t YOUR use case, but it’s MY use case. Doesn’t make me a shill. I’m still pissed as hell.
But don’t fucking pretend that there is feature parity when there isn’t, and don’t accuse me of being a shill just because Jellyfin literally doesn’t support my use case. I WISH it did. I HATE PLEX.
- Comment on Pope Joan 4 weeks ago:
People play real fast and loose with these terms.
My advice is to do what you’re doing here, which is learn… But to remember to meet people where they’re at.
By these definitions, with sex relating to biological things, you might be tempted to tell someone they can’t just “decide” their sex, by this definition. Don’t do it.
Not saying you would, but resist the urge to get into a semantic argument. Just ask the specific people what they mean by these words when they say them, and roll with it. Prioritize understanding over being understood.
This advice goes for anything, but this is a particularly spicy meatball.
- Comment on Little weapons 1 month ago:
These would be perfect for it.
Also it was one an extremely early adopter of using websites for books. It was such a wholesome time on the internet. You could spend like an hour downloading a 3 second WAV file where the author welcomed you to the website. Blew my fucking mind.

A lot of people will find themselves on the unpleasant side of gentrification. You think you’re priced out of the housing market now?
- Comment on Donald Trump Is a Gift to Canada’s Liberal Party 3 months ago:
Previously branded as the Canadian version of Trump, he has now shifted from his “Broken Canada” messaging to a new slogan: “Canada First.”
Imagine trying to distance yourself from the idea that you are like Trump by recycling his “America First” slogan. What a fucking idiot.
- Comment on How do I point a reverse proxy to a VPN client on my VPS? 3 months ago:
May or may not be applicable to your case, but often applications need additional configuration to work with a reverse proxy. Usually setting from what IPs it will accept forward headers from (your reverse proxy) and what the original requested host was (externally requested domain, eg: yourservice.yourdomain.com)
If your new setup has resulted in changes to either of those things, the issue might be a now-incorrect config of your apps behind the reverse proxy.
- Comment on Are "Lifetime" Cloud Storage Plans scams? 3 months ago:
You can set up a “personal cloud” on a machine in your house that you can use as a “cloud” from anywhere. There are a lot of free software options to achieve such a thing.
“Nextcloud” it a pretty broad way to do that. You can run it from an always-on desktop.
There are a ton of nerds (myself included) who do this kinda thing, and we have our nerd communities on Lemmy and elsewhere. The general term is “self hosted”.
- Comment on We're in the endgame now 3 months ago:
JD is drawing false equivalence, to lead to the conclusion that law doesn’t matter.
Does a judge plan a military operation? No. But they can establish if it is legal.
That’s their whole job, to establish if actions violate the law. If they violate the law, they can order them to stop.
Judges don’t write the law. You don’t like the judge’s ruling? Change the law. Judges don’t write the laws, they just interpret the ones that exist.
JD is arguing that judges (and by extension, the law, and by extension the fundamental concept of the rule of law) don’t apply to him and Trump. It’s literally an argument for monarchy.

Oh nice, I’ll give that a shot. I was using IOTlink but the service wasn’t reliable on my machine and needed to be restarted constantly…
I’ll give HASS.agent a shot! Thanks

If you get a reliable way to sleep a windows machine via MQTT (not sure if that’s a route you’d take) but I’d be super interested in hearing about it.
- Comment on Got myself some energy monitoring Zigbee plugs and made an interesting discovery 4 months ago:
I had a similar revelation. Home assistant has a WOL component, so you can set that up for easy starts. I’ve had mixed success with mechanisms to get HA to sleep the computer, though.
Ideally I want the machine to be sleeping I’d I’m not using it.

That makes sense as long as you’re not writing code that needs to know how to do something as complex as …checks original post… count.
