Not sure exactly the size of switch you’re working with, but couldn’t you get or fashion a coupler that mechanically links multiple switches together…
I’m thinking like they do with circuit breakers like this:
- Comment on Is anyone self-hosting their own AI? 1 week ago:
Played around with it on my desktop machine. Someone’s distilled variant of Qwen 3.8-27B-Q4_K_M, on a intel12700k + RTX3090 24GB is what I use.
I haven’t adjusted the reasoning down from very high but I mostly use it for trying tweaks to half-finished coding projects I’ve lost motivation to complete many years ago. I used it to develop a very simple JS-free personal website. I have secure shell which I can access from Termux or PuTTY, but sometimes I have the llama.cpp webui insecurely accessible online for one day at a time just for fun.
- Comment on “Software is over”: Bold AI developer takes aim at Adobe with open source clones 3 weeks ago:
It’s still slop, but potentially being used for good for once.
- Comment on Can't select more than one language or change display name for pronouns 4 weeks ago:
For the multiple languages, on a desktop browser, hold the Control key and left click.
It seems you found the Display name box, not sure if it’s a bug, but maybe you could try using parentheses instead? i.e. (they/them)
- Comment on The Steam Frame’s first post-launch update speeds up charging and ungarbles a mic bug 5 weeks ago:
I think the charging bug was highlighted by Steve of Gamers Nexus, glad to see Valve fixed it after “double-checking” in response to the feedback.
- Comment on Self Host to Local Communities 2 months ago:
Which brings me to the part we cannot skip, we have to evaluate every definition of a community against a simple test…
Can it be used to harm others, and can it be used to harm itself?
I don’t believe this is as simple of a test for the definition of community as the author makes out, without narrowing down from the numerous definitions of harm as well. Harm could be physical injury, it could be crimes and derogatory hate speech, but it could just as easily be defined as someone feeling uncomfortable, or not being given an opportunity to speak when they felt they deserved one.
To have a healthy community that can still withstand some inevitable episodes of dispute and drama that brew over time, two elements are required in my mental model:
- A community’s control and cohesiveness cannot fully depend on one entity, whose absence would cause the community to fall apart.
- People within the community have to accept to a certain degree, that people don’t think exactly the same as them on everything.
And so from my perspective, what that degree of acceptable difference is will help define what the harm to be avoided is or could be, in turn informing the test to define the community.
- Comment on Bad math our taking advantage? How do you tip? 2 months ago:
Pretax but will add in discounts so it will be a % of 85, e.g. $13 at 15%, $15 at 18%, $17 at 20%, $19 at 22%.
If I have to pay my tip before I am served anything, usually it’s between 50 cents and 10% if at all. More or less I treat it like being nice to a panhandler in the shape of a business. If the establishment earned more through good service, I’ll drop some change or a fiver on my way out.
- Comment on Firefox dev clarifies there will be an AI 'kill switch' 10 months ago:
If they could develop F-AI-refox as a separate browser I could be cool with Firefox.
- Comment on 18% of people running Nextcloud don't know what database they are using 1 year ago:
Yeah. I have used that. And I’m sure most with personal instances that just pressed the “Install NextCloud” button have no clue, including me.
