tl;dr, can u get it down to something in the 4-5 tokens range?

Yeah man, that’s the point. It’s backward as fuck. It’s absolutely, mind-numbingly idiotic.

Why would we care about April 3rd thru the 7th?

A dollar denied Cuckerberg is worth ten times its face value

So? I bought an index for $1000 approx. 8 years ago and it’s still awesome and still going strong. Considering inflation and the value added by being cordless and not needing a high-end gaming pc, $1500 seems pretty reasonable.

I didn't sign up to be a condom between Claude and prod.

Haha, well said.

Basically any Beatles concert in their “we’ve discovered LSD” prime would be on my list

Oh look, something new for these mushed-up-turds-masquerading-as-people to fuck with.

I dunno. Got any good ideas? I like software development but don’t have a lot of killer ideas for making money. Honestly I’d love to open a repair cafe, just not sure how I’d make money with that. I have some app ideas but they don’t get me jumping out of bed in the morning.

Same. Except I “silent quit” a bit too hard and got let go. I could’ve easily bounced back but I just didn’t have the desire. My job had turned from developing to cramming AI into our product in ways that didn’t make sense, then endless tickets and discussions about how to do more AI to correct issues with the previous iteration.

I came across a similar sight once when I was at university. An old tenured professor had retired (or died) and they’d dumped his office in a bin like this. Was kinda sad to see. Especially the numerous phd thesis papers. I browsed a few. Many had been professionally bound and had sincere, handwritten inscriptions, thanking the professor for his guidance and advice, etc.

There was also hundreds of issues of a super old computing magazine that the guy had obviously subscribed to. I grabbed a couple for my coffee table cuz they’re retro and rad as hell. Someday I’ll take pics and post them to !computermag_covers@feddit.org

 
 
 

I hate facebook and haven’t used it in years, but I live in a small town where many local events are only discussed on facebook or instagram. I’m wondering if there’s a way to create a niche lemmy community with a bot that regurgitates that content so I’m not out of the loop?

Any repo links or online guides for setting this up? Or maybe Meta’s walled garden is impenetrable to scraping?

 

That’s it. My OC dad joke. Please use responsibly.

 

I bought this for pretty cheap at an auction and I don’t even know if there are instructions inside. I’m a pretty handy guy with time and tools and some knowledge. I’ve worked on roofs before and know the basics of many other trades.

 
 

Hello, and thank you in advance.

I'm making a privacy friendly "ring" cam/doorbell following this guide: https://tristam.ie/2023/758/ which has been great, but requires running a micro-usb cable down to the doorbell for power. I'm hoping to improve on this by using the existing doorbell power instead.

The problem is that I'm a DIY electronics noob and I can't create a mental model for how it should all work. The picture I attached is my existing doorbell wiring scheme, which is as simple as it comes. I totally get how this works. Pressing the doorbell completes the circuit and makes the bingbongs. But this will have to change so the new door cam gets power full time. Ideally without the chime bingbonging full time.

In addition to the ESP-32CAM, button, ring lights, etc., I also bought these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079FJSYGY which I thought might be needed to complete the circuit?

I measured the voltage after the transformer and it was around 18 volts, but maybe this is AC and I want DC?

Generally I don't know where in "the loop" to put things. Also, all the existing components are very far apart from each other, so I would love a solution that doesn't involve running any new wires through the walls.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you!!
