Just an Aussie tech guy - home automation, ESP gadgets, networking. Also love my camping and 4WDing.

Be a good motherfucker. Peace.

  • Wording change and clarification for purchasing Immich · Discussion #11313

    Jump

  • +1 to everything you just said - I've been using Immich for a little less (370 days, thanks to the same button). It's feature rich and rock solid.

    Only thing I hope they add to the mobile app is the Years/Months/Days option, to make it easy to quickly group, then find, your photos. It's the one thing that keeps me using my phone's own Photos app (locally - no cloud sync).

  • Autodesk is a monopoly! We need FOSS for AutoCAD desperately

    Jump

  • Have you tried Ondsel, a wrapped version of FreeCAD? I've found it a much easier move from F360 (only a few months ago) than FreeCAD itself, and am now modelling in it quite happily.

    I've still got some learning curve in front of me but, as with F360, once you master the basics, it's just a matter of learning a new trick or two for more complex models.

  • What life hack is so simple yet so effective, you're shocked more people don't know about it?

  • Most of the sauce we use is home made. My FIL makes it every year and always gives us boxes of it. Way better than shop bought sauce.

  • 100% For us, a passata, an onion, and some garlic is the minimum needed.

    Probably helps that the FIL delivers us boxes of homemade passata all the time - we never have less than a dozen bottles on our storage shelves in the garage. But even if we were to ever run out, a couple of store-bought bottles in the pantry is our fallback option.

  • My wife's Italian. Replace your items with always having a bottle of sauce and a packet of pasta in the cupboard, and there's always a meal to be had no matter how empty the fridge is.

  • Thank you all

  • Time and time again, we've proven the best weapon we have against corporate greed is our ability (and willingness) to share knowledge.

  • Now I have 1 GBit fiber and can't benefit :-(

    Jump

  • Do yuo have IDP/IPS turned on on pfSense? My OPNsense on my 1Gbps fibre will easily drop from an average of 900Mbps down to around 300Mbps-500Mbps, if I turn on IDS.

  • Why is prostitution called sometimes world's oldest profession?

  • Arguably, her giving the blowjob meant she got the berries

  • iPhone users, what's stopping you from switching to Android?

    Jump

  • I just switched back to iPhone a couple of months ago, after 10 years on Android.

    In short, I trust removed more than Google. That’s not to say removed is 100% trustworthy, but I definitely trust them more than Google.

  • Fellas of Lemmy, what's your Every Day Carry (EDC)?

    Jump

  • Right wrist (I'm a leftie): Garmin Instinct Crossover Solar Tactical (with generic glass screen protector and silicone case)

    Front left pocket:

    Front right pocket: my iPhone 15 Pro Max in a black Spigen Tough Armor case

    Back right pocket: a large handkerchief (I get bloody noses and my engine runs pretty hot - I can sweat a lot at times)

    Back left pocket: reserved for my minimalist EDC wallet when I carry it (not the exact model, I don't always carry, as I can use my phone for everything, including digital driver's licence)

    Belt, right side:

    Belt, left side: RAE Gear sheath for Leatherman bit kit, holding:

    When I go camping/offroading, I'll often put the Leatherman into a Toolbro holster, holding my Wuben L50 rechargeable torch.

    Sadly, it looks like WJMake is no longer selling on Etsy (where I got the Toolbro), which is a real shame. They sold some really nice, handmade EDC accessories, and were happy to customise to suit my exact needs.

    Mine has the extra elastic loop on the side to hold my Space Pen, an extra pocket on the front to hold the Leatherman saw blade, and they swapped out belt loops for a pair of belt clips, so I could wear/remove without having to undo my belt - a really important (to me) capability when camping and offroading.

  • Firefox Docker + VPN is so awesome

  • I'm still using it via mbasic. It looks like shit, but I can get to my messages and reply, etc.

  • Jesus, talk about failing to get the point.

    I'm not talking about my government or yours. I'm talking about society making a change for the better. That requires change at a generational level. Bigger guns aren't the answer - changing people's thinking is.

    But, by all means, feel free to keep playing the Team America card. That's what landed that orange-skinned moron in the White House for his first term.

  • Maybe you should take the time to engage your own critical thinking, and realise not everyone is American.

  • Can we reason our way to revolt, already?

    `twould be nice, but I see this as requiring a multi-generational solution. We need enough young voters to get out there and vote with their social conscience, to overcome the combined weight of ignorance, money and power.

  • Australia to build Top Secret cloud in AWS for defence users

    Jump

  • It's won't be on-prem, but it will be dedicated data centres, built and run by Amazon, so almost the same as. Why? Because AWS runs better data centres than the gov ever could.

    Gov is outsourcing the physical infrastructure risk, just like any other ocmpany that puts their stuff in the cloud.
