  • More like Parabola, judging by the trajectory!

  • That man's home address? /dev/lp0

  • Neat, thanks!

    I'm not thrilled about the camera quality (compared to a purpose-built surveillance cam with 4k and good low-light performance) and I wish it had PoE, but damn, can't beat that price!

    (Side note: does anybody else find it weird that PoE is so uncommon and/or adds so much to the cost of these IoT dev boards? I get that normal people don't want the hassle of running cable, but it feels like the hole in the market is bigger than it should be.)

  • Framework Desktop 64gb

    I wonder how that compares to my mini-ITX Ryzen 5700x3D/9070XT/64GB system. I guess yours is even smaller and better at running LLMs due to the unified memory, but mine is probably cheaper and better at gaming.

  • Tell me more about your homebrew esp32 cams, please!

  • How you gonna get the video feed off an IP cam and onto your NVR without connecting it to your network?

    You're not seriously suggesting using old analog cameras in 2025, are you?

  • The exceptions are things like my phone because it's a necessary device these days and there aren't a lot of options for something not locked down to all hell.

    Graphene is good enough, IMO.

    The real problem is that getting to 99% is damn near a full-time job and the capitalist cartel actively punishes it (by only offering owner control in 'commercial-grade' products at huge markup, or not manufacturing such things at all and forcing you to DIY).

    It's unreasonable to expect any but the most dedicated (read: stubborn) people like us to be able to handle it; the only viable solution for the masses is to wrestle back control of the government and end regulatory capture of the FTC etc.

  • Didn't they already try that? I figured that's why Amazon wanted to buy them.

  • Gas station or truck stop? If the latter, it isn't that shocking that they might lazily use the same authorization charge amount for cars as they do for 18-wheelers.

  • The real !mildlyinfuriating part is the implication that the propositions are less important than the election of people.

  • There are no electric cars that don't track you except for the really old NiMH Rangers and Rav4s and whatnot that they leased to fleets in California back in the day. Even the very first mass-market Nissan Leaf had unacceptable telemetry from day 1.

  • You're fucked. Best you can do is ride a bike when possible, and keep driving old cars from the mid-2000s or earlier when necessary.

  • Most people in Argentina and Uruguay are white, and the (indigenous + indigenous-mixed) majorities in some of the other countries aren't necessarily big enough to be considered "virtually all," especially when you consider that there are folks with African ancestry there as well.

  • I got distinct déjà vu from one of his posts in the community I mod, but I've been unable to search effectively enough to find the duplicate (or rule it out).

  • Thanks for the thread. I've been noticing those accounts and have been trying to figure out what action I should take as a mod.

    What's really fucked up about it is that the content is actually pretty coherent and on-topic, and it seems clear that at least some of the comments are human -- like it's more "tool-assisted" than fully "bot." So it feels like it's almost valuable but also kinda 'cheating,' which (from a mod perspective) makes it hard to decide what to do about it.


    What I'd really like to know is what techniques these accounts are using and what they're actually up to. The other day I gave one a warning and demanded an explanation, but I only got an angry reply and then the account was nuked by an admin before I had the chance to do anything else.

  • I've been noticing several new or new-ish accounts acting similarly. I need to go find an admin/mod discussion about what I (as a mod of another community) should be doing about it.

  • I would count that as "high," especially when, as you suggest, you consider risk-adjusted rates.

    Basically, just don't prematurely pay off your mortgage if you have one of those 3% ones from a decade ago.

  • Well, cool it anyway 'cause it makes people think you're a bot.

  • Yep!
