  • Hi Lemmy, what's a good IP camera with night vision and no vendor lock-in?

  • I've been looking for the same thing, everything usually points to frigate being the answer, but it seems like a bit of work to get everything set up.

    Do you think that permabanning is harsh?

    Jump

  • Usually yeah. Unless it's something like trying to break a server or posting CP. People can do stupid things if they're having a bad day, mental health issues, etc.

    Old forums usually had a system where you only got banned if you got a certain number of warnings within a certain time period. That usually worked well.

    People are incredibly ban happy on Reddit, I got banned from the JimmyDore sub Reddit despite never visiting it, I don't even know who Jimmy Dore is.

  • The Skripal thing? No amount of tanks or missiles can stop espionage.

  • Self hosted instances are artificially limited to 10 accounts, however https://docs.bsky.app/blog/self-host-federation

    And that's only the frontend "server" that can be self hosted, the "relay", that's more equivalent to a mastodon instance, doesn't seem to be self hostable.

  • From an entirely selfish perspective, the UK has very few threats militarily, unless the French decide to invade again.

  • The US government wants devs to stop using C and C++

  • Well now I'm going to have to use it even more.

  • The article I linked says they're unrelated.

    The Pauli effect is not related to the Pauli exclusion principle, which is a bona fide physical phenomenon named after Pauli. However the Pauli effect was humorously tagged as a second Pauli exclusion principle, according to which a functioning device and Wolfgang Pauli may not occupy the same room.

  • Should Ukraine build the bomb? How would you feel if they did?

    Jump

  • Even if they have the ability to build one, and do so without Russia turning the facility where they're building it into rubble with hypersonic missiles, they would need dozens to have full MAD type protection.

    Does Ukraine even have a missile system capable of carrying that kind of payload as far as Moscow?

  • See also, the Pauli effect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauli_effect

    The Pauli effect or Pauli's device corollary is the supposed tendency of technical equipment to encounter critical failure in the presence of certain people. The term was coined after mysterious anecdotal stories involving Austrian theoretical physicist Wolfgang Pauli, describing numerous instances in which demonstrations involving equipment suffered technical problems only when he was present.

    An incident occurred in the physics laboratory at the University of Göttingen. An expensive measuring device, for no apparent reason, suddenly stopped working, although Pauli was in fact absent. James Franck, the director of the institute, reported the incident to his colleague Pauli in Zürich with the humorous remark that at least this time Pauli was innocent. However, it turned out that Pauli had been on a railway journey to Zürich and had switched trains in the Göttingen rail station at about the time of the failure.

    R. Peierls describes a case when at one reception this effect was to be parodied by deliberately crashing a chandelier upon Pauli's entrance. The chandelier was suspended on a rope to be released, but it stuck instead, thus becoming a real example of the Pauli effect

  • As a non-american, this seems unsurprising. The Harris campaign seemed to be running the same playbook as the Clinton one did. The main reason anyone gave for voting for her was not being trump, effectively making her the satus quo candidate. If everything is shit for you under the current status quo, that doesn't encourage you to vote for her.
