  • This show suffers from the same illogical plots, very questionable dialogue, and blatant canon failures

    So it's basically the same as TOS? Excellent!

  • It's a reference to Buell Motorcycles and their tractor like engines.

  • Neat machine. I wish Noel had done more exploring of it in the video.

  • The McRib is objectively gross...which doesn't stop me from stuffing my American face-hole with the damn things every time they're available because despite being gross they are tasty.

    They used to be a full time menu item but I guess the pork got too expensive so McDonald's will buy pork when it's cheap and stockpile it until they have enough to do another limited time promo with them. Been that way since somewhere in the early / mid 2000s if I remember right.

  • Even if the project is verifiably hacked the instant that remake becomes available on the web Disney will sue the shit out of them. It's just how Disney is.

  • I haven't seen a new truck without a bed liner in decades.

    Plenty of 'em out there homie. I bought a used DMax in 2019 and despite being a Denali edition it didn't come with a bedliner, just a rubber mat for the floor. I should have had one sprayed in when I got the truck because my box is now beat to shit.

    I think all the previous owner did with it was tow a horse trailer.

  • My DMax is a pretty truck but the beat to crap box, without bedliner, is under a tonneau cover so you can't see it. Another thing you can do is check the receiver hitch, if it's scratched / rusty inside then you know its being used to tow something. 🙂

  • You are going to have to decide how much risk to yourself and your family you are willing to accept. If you really want to do this then stop contacting the local authorities and go up the chain. In the United States I'd walk into an FBI office with a full copy, not the originals, of your files along with a typed up description of every detail including what happened when your FiL and yourself tried calling it in to the local authorities.

    In the UK it would seem to be the National Crime Agency as they are the ones that handle Organized Crime however they say that they don't take reports from members of the Public. They want people like you to give your information to https://crimestoppers-uk.org/give-information/forms/give-information-anonymously and then let it percolate through the system.

    If you don't want to do that or nothing happens when you do then I'd suggest going to a Solictor and discussing the matter with them.

    Edit: It's very strange that the UK's national law enforcement doesn't have an official Government engagement point with the public. In the US you can directly contact nearly all of the Federal Law Enforcement agencies including the FBI, Secret Service, US Marshalls, DEA, BATFE, ICE and many more. Hell even the CIA will take phone calls from the regular public!

  • Women, unquestionably.

  • Huh, duckdns was one of the very first integration I did with my HA installation. It was pretty straightforward to setup using these directions and it's been super reliable.

    Wireguard was also pretty straightforward using these directions and it too has been very reliable.

  • Why would they face any legal consequences any more than any other social media?

    Instance location. Content comes at you from all over the Fediverse but once its in your instance it's actually located on your server. It's obvious how even regular NSFW stuff can be a problem if your instance is sitting in a ME country but perhaps less obvious (and more troublesome) is text based content.

    For instance if a user is enrolled on an instance located in Germany and then subscribes to Neo-Nazi content from an instance located in the United States. That NN material is now on your instance but much of it is probably illegal in Germany. What happens when the German Authorities find out and come knocking?

    Even "Child Porn" isn't nearly as cut and dried as most people think. Things like /c/tinytitties or /c/flatchested from lemmynsfw are arguably illegal in a place like Australia since the person can be perceived as under-age due to their physical characteristics. It gets worse when you toss in the AI Generated stuff.

    Big Tech does a lot of juggling trying to stay clear of these problems and they have large legal teams to help them when they run into trouble. I rather doubt that most instance admins have the resources for it.

  • I mean, I say ‘announce’ but the message is “she’s home. Panic and tidy!”

    This is basically what I'm looking for! Thanks for the link to the Alexa Media player, do you happen to know of a write up for putting the HA / TTS / AMP pieces together?

  • I didn't know that TTS existed. I'll have to look that up.

  • homeassistant @lemmy.world

    How do I get HA to voice announce events?

  • Ad Revenue. Someone paying for Reddit Premium gets an ad free experience which is fine but someone who gets gifted Gold also gets an ad free experience. They need as many people as possible to see ads so free loaders have to go...which means so do the coins.

    I fully expect that within a year Reddit will start doing what many streaming services are where the lowest tier is free but ad supported, then there's a paid "limited ad" tier, followed by an even more expensive "No Ads" tier. The current Reddit Premium program will transition to that mid-tier category and they'll add "Reddit Ultimate" or some BS as the new Ad Free option. It'll probably cost $10 a month too.

  • Leviton Zwave. They work great and should go fine with matter.

  • Is there a solid how to / walk through for setting one of those up? Lemmy world is flailing hard and I want to jump to my own instance.

  • I recommend you stay away from anything that requires any kind of portal to setup. If you have to download an app and create an account in order to pair the device or get it setup then don't use that equipment. There's a near endless array of sensors and things you can get now that work using Z-Wave, ZigBee, and even HomeKit that work DIRECTLY with HA, meaning that they don't require commands to be sent up to the cloud via the Internet and then come back down to your device.

  • There's an easy answer to that...don't use IoT devices. I recently rebuilt my HA setup into a VM running on Proxmox, added a Zoos USB to ZWave dongle and then replaced every device that needed a network connection with a Z-Wave device. I have nothing left that needs, or can even connect to, the Internet and all of my routines / automations are fully local. I can turn my Router off and the only thing it will impact is remote access and voice control.
