  • While I'm 100% on your side here and I make a point to champion the actual values of these anxiety riddled glass boxes, I do want to point out that we can do all that without them. My kid didn't get modern electronics until he was competent with paper books, dictionary, and offline only tech.

    That said, the added stance here is that we can have both. My kid's phone is locked down to the point that he can't even message contacts that I didn't approve. It's all operated in house from his phone, my phone, and the shit box excuse for a server I run. I have a curated plan for how he'll earn his way up to full access and planned strategies for teaching him the safety and independence he needs. I know exactly fuck all about tech, can't remember any commands for Linux, struggled to understand Docker, but still managed to make it happen. If I can pull it off, the only thing stopping literally anyone else is the choice not to do it.

  • Not by this thing, you're not.

  • You know every day I find another thing about me that's incredibly gay. If I were heterosexual I think I might be concerned...

  • Here I was hoping it was a normal race but Everyone's sporting an absolute dump truck.

  • I actually found it far easier to connect it through cloudflared tunnel service. Grab a cheap domain name through them and then just follow the guide on their website. Took me longer to type this message than it did to get running and I've managed to fail at setting up the Arr suite 3 times now despite it basically being copy paste.

    I paid maybe 15 bucks total to have someone else doing all the hard work for the next 5 years and all I have to do is go to my website and log in. No VPN, no port forwarding, and it works on every platform.

  • This is something I'm really confused about myself. Like, of all the places to fanboy a country, why come to a place where everyone universally dislikes nationalism?

  • This doesn't at all look like they're minimizing either side. They very clearly stated that both sides are fucking Africa for their own profit. The emphasis in the question is because no one comes on Lemmy to talk about how great the west is. Rightly so, we're a shithole with delusions of grandeur, but no one shows up to post unironic memes about the US being wringfully villainized in china.

  • Know anyone that's into gaming? Modding old consoles is a great way to get into diagnosing board problems and fixing the crap PCBs in small electronics is fantastic for learning to solder. Two weeks ago I didn't know shit about the eldrich slab of charms and runes inside electronics. Last week I successfully tested two power units for a playstation 4 and correctly diagnosed that mine has died due to APU overheating. Took about 2 hours, two videos, and a $15 continuity tester.

    Unfortunately, mine's dead in the water until I find someone who can reball the APU for less than the cost of a new system. In the mean time, I'm doing a tear down and mod on my Xbox 360.

  • Guy is already working on his own Epstein part two, he knows better than to be seen with the lips that sank the last ship.

  • Honey mummy, bread mummy, jerky mummy, if we find ourselves a cheese mummy we've got a damn fine sandwich!

  • You know, fuck it. If you let me pack a few of the large totes I have with gear I'll straight up colonize the back rooms. Beats the world we live in now...

  • This is one of the core parts of my jammy onion recipe. It's either served as topping for burgers, steak, etc. or turned into French onion soup.

    If youre ever craving that vintage Americana experience of a vintage road side diner, crack open a beer and leave it on the back of the stove over night to go stale. Cook your onions with half the oil you'd normally use, and if they get dry or the fond darkens, deglaze with the stale beer. When the mess gets to a color between burnt coffee and old motor oil, your done. What you get is a semisweet preserve with a hint of the texture you cut the onions into. The taste is a heady mix of smoke, deep fried sides, strong onions, and that you'd imagine the dive bar in every noir film smells like. A situation that isn't as off-putting as it sounds and becomes a lingering sense of nostalgia almost immediately.

    For added effect, use a beer you have a complicated relationship with, like the beer ne you shared with a former partner or the drink of choice for a family member that passed.

  • Dude we used to grind up mummy and snort it for medicine.

  • Don't seceed. Go door to door on your block, get to know who you live with. Use your yards, vacant lots, or public parks to make gardens and share within yourself. Bulwark your community against the impact of capitalism until everyone can stand strong enough you do the next block too until there are more of you then there are them.

  • Dox your local representative. Their family, their friends, their employees. Make sure every meth head in your county knows the name, face, and address of the man or woman that took away their food stamps or kicked them out of their home.

    Make their voting base as scared as they try to make us. Every minority should form an armed militia in their community.

    Make it impossible to police. Cops don't have to do their jobs, the supreme court said so give them a bigger incentive to not do it. If every brown person they see has a rifle and walkie they'll just keep driving. If ever white guy that passes pulls over and starts filming and shouting, they'll stop pulling people over.

    Don't stop there, get involved maliciously. Run against your mayor, your governor, your congressman. It doesn't matter if you can win, just refuse to let them talk about anything they platform and shout over them with the vulgar accurate truth. No news would dare sensor a live debate where a candidate calls the mayor a cunt for supporting trump or says full chest that he'll have every Nazi in the city charged with treason.

    If the rules are only there for us, quit playing by them.

  • It was an interesting thing and I imagine it works great for those it works for, but I couldn't get into code academy or that gamified coding one. They move to slow for me and with all the plates I juggle it was hard to fmgive it the time it demanded without losing info in between.

  • Coding. I love gaming and I love mods for games, but even my best efforts don't get me very far. I can't fully grasp how it works, what it means, or how to ask for what I need to know. It's not for lack of trying or exposure, I've been bullshitting my way through linux for about 16 years now and only recently learned how to use systemctl without without copy paste.

    You want literally anything physical I'm your guy. This week I'm researching how to reflow the APU on a ps4 motherboard and it just makes total sense to me, but I'm struggling just to make the json files in a mod for vintage story. Totally lost when it comes to the C#.

  • Personally I run mine through a cloudflared tunnel. I have to pay for the domain and tunneling but I paid like $15 something for 5 years. Now all you have to do is put in the url and it runs in any browser or jellyfin app immediately. I understand the VPN and all that is the free option, but I'm not tech savy enough to teach others that stuff and this is effectively paying a quarter monthly.

  • Conveniently also forgot where all the money was going too because the only thing they seem to pay for is more flock cameras.
