I really don’t want him remaking the video…

That is very weird, especially as it was renewed in 2024.

You have an interesting definition of “good things” my friend. As far as I can tell, it is down, which is why I didn’t put a content warning on it.

- Comment on Dutton refuses to rule out ABC cuts and repeatedly declines meeting with chair Kim Williams, sources say 1 week ago:
Really hope we arent stupid enough to vote him in.
- Comment on A highly integrated, high end, open source laptop. Attempt the impossible. 1 week ago:
I dont think a rockchip SOC is high end, but the rest of it looks interesting.
- Comment on Measles was eliminated from Australia. Experts warn US and Asia outbreaks may bring back this ‘heat-seeking missile’ 2 weeks ago:
We already have measles outbreaks in Australia. There was one 2 weeks ago in Victoria.
- Comment on Why can’t HVAC be made smarter? 2 weeks ago:
If your willing to get into the weeds, most HVACs are very basic, and you can easily make your own thermostat with a cheap relay board. That plus a microcontroller and some code (and/or homeassistant) and you can make it as smart as you like.
There are smarter thermostats, but they are usually more expensive.

“I want a puppet”
- Comment on I'm Tired of Pretending Tech is Making the World Better 5 weeks ago:
Tech speeds things up. If you want to do good, it’ll help you do it faster. If you want to do evil, it’ll help you do it faster.
- Comment on That would be cool if movie theatres had VR headsets that I could wear and it would provide closed caption subtitles. 5 weeks ago:
That might be the only way to make it clean again though.
- Comment on That would be cool if movie theatres had VR headsets that I could wear and it would provide closed caption subtitles. 5 weeks ago:
No, you absolutely do not want that.
Next time your in the theater, shine a torch on the seat, and then imagine it on your face.
- Comment on Why's everyone freaking out about Firefox Terms of Service? Isn't it Open Source? 5 weeks ago:
This has happened before in the software world, and its usually not a huge deal after a little bit of rockiness.
OpenOffice->LibreOffice. ddwrt->openwrt->tomato etc.
Development will continue, but maybe in a less resourced fashion.
- Comment on Why's everyone freaking out about Firefox Terms of Service? Isn't it Open Source? 5 weeks ago:
I’m aware that history is against them. The one thing in Firefox’s (not Mozilla) favour is that its open source. The browser and codebase will live on even if Mozilla crashes and burns.
The forks already exist, the only “moat” that Mozilla has is trust and goodwill, which they are burning rapidly.
- Comment on Why's everyone freaking out about Firefox Terms of Service? Isn't it Open Source? 5 weeks ago:
If the legal definition of a term has changed such that their current activities now fall under it, changing the terms of use legal document does make sense.
They are pretty clear that under California law, they are “selling” data. They have two options, keep the ToU document the same, and try meet the new laws requirements (which as I’ve said in other comments, seems impossible for a browser - not a lawyer though), or update their ToU without changing their current behaviors.
They have gone with the latter, but it does also allow them to be far more “evil”. Its definitely the first step down a bad road, time will tell if they go further.
If you want to play it safe, block their domains via pihole: wiki.mozilla.org/Websites/…/Mozilla_Owned
- Comment on Why's everyone freaking out about Firefox Terms of Service? Isn't it Open Source? 5 weeks ago:
Its even more broad than that, because its any exchange of data for valuable consideration. No money has to change hands, but if it benefits FF, its a sale. And the benefit could simply be “if we do this we will function correctly as a browser”.
- Comment on Why's everyone freaking out about Firefox Terms of Service? Isn't it Open Source? 5 weeks ago:
The rationalization they have given is that legally, they may have been seeking data all along, as some jurisdictions define it extremely loosely.
For example, if you use their translation feature, they are sending the page your looking at (data) to a third party, which provides a benefit to Mozilla.

| The reason we’ve stepped away from making blanket claims that “We never sell your data” is because, in some places, the LEGAL definition of “sale of data” is broad and evolving. As an example, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) defines “sale” as the “selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, a consumer’s personal information by [a] business to another business or a third party” in exchange for “monetary” or “other valuable consideration.”

The 3rd gen iPod shuffles used the headphone port for USB, definitely uncommon though.
- Comment on YSK: Gas stoves cause cancer 5 weeks ago:
Not OP, but combustion byproducts/impurities mostly. Get a air quality sensor and watch it go mad when you start cooking.
The one real downside to induction is actually its speed. You can really easily burn your food very quickly if your not careful. IKEA sell an induction hot plate for $40AUD, well worth giving it a try.

This is guaranteed to be used to witch-hunt and dox people isnt it…

Do it

Another tip that doesn’t seem to have been covered, clean the pads you are soldering to. A quick buff with some steel wool to get them nice and shiny. If you’ve touched it with your hands, the oils from your hands can make it hard to solder to the pads.

Your iPhone was designed for Bluetooth, on laptops and desktops its an after thought.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
Some of the cheap USB hardware are unofficial clones, which get disabled by the official drivers. The clones sometimes work in Linux, but not reliably. It can be really hit and miss.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
To be fair, Bluetooth sucks on Windows desktops as well. The hardware is just garbage a lot of the time

Gleam is very similar syntactically. Never used it, so can’t say anything more about it.

What is openwebzine? Can’t find any info on it.

256gb of ram seems well beyond standard self-hosting, what are you planning on running?!
- Comment on Setting Up a Self-Hosted GitHub runner for CI/CD 1 month ago:
I did create a fork and MR, and neither used your runner (sorry if that is what spooked you).
Develop local and push remote also let’s you sanitize what is public and what isnt. Keep your half-backed personal projects local, push the good stuff to github for job opportunities.
- Comment on Setting Up a Self-Hosted GitHub runner for CI/CD 1 month ago:
I think it was when you create a merge request back, that the original repo would then run the forked branch on the original runners.
From what I can tell, its now been much more locked down, so its better, but still worth being careful about.

The other potential risk is that the github action author maliciously modifies their code in a later version, but that is solved with version pinning the actions.
