Well that’s pretty much the worst headline I’ve ever read

Isn’t there value in the discussion? If the question was worth responding to, I’d argue it’s a net benefit.
I’m playing devil’s advocate. I’m not sure what I think.
According to Wikipedia, Mike Johnson gets $223,500 a year, but I bet he’d do it for free
Are you srsly flirting with me rn?? While I’m trying to read the new taco bell combos?! Omg 😳
Dude I eat fast food like twice a year. I have no idea what I want when I roll up. The menus change often as well.
That’s common curtsy.
I think you mean “courtesy”
I think it’s neat
I used to love this comic but had completely forgotten about it til you posted this. So, thanks!
I hate needles, so when I donated blood the other day, my mate used this logic to psych me up, lol. “Just think of all the PFAS you’re clearing out!”
I’ve heard “what’s old is new again”, so don’t give up hope!
If they can remake Masters of the Universe in 2026 anything is possible.
I’m proudly antisemantic. Everything is meaningless, why should words be the exception?!

Building DIY a smart doorbell but would appreciate some help with the power and wiring
(lemmy.world)
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!!

Give me a break.
