Ugh all the time. I’m liberal, well educated, and nerdy. Notice my use of an Oxford comma! I also happen to live in a rural town in Texas. I play pool in a league and let’s just say kindred spirits are few and far between.

Hmm you must not be too familiar with wedding rsvps. The fancy M is where you write your name (completing it with Mr. or Mrs. Yourname). Then you check will/won’t. If you’re attending, you put numbers in the blank spaces for the rest of your party (spouse, kids) so they know how many meals to prepare

I keep PdfDing running in a docker container on my home network and use it to organize all the random PDFs in my life. It works great, thanks!

Whatever is the most garbage take/approach, you can pretty much guarantee either Paxton or Abbott will swerve wildly out of their lane to mow down the will of the people and shit all over everything

King of the hill meme except instead of “would be very upset” the last line is “still wouldn’t give a shit”

I read the article hoping for an answer to my question, but alas. So, Lemmy, what about all the amniotic fluid that was lost when the mom was opened up?? Does it just replenish? Also, I thought babies “breathed” the fluid until they first feel air, so how did that mechanism not get toggled?

Amazing story, though. Thanks for sharing!

Those bros don’t look identical to me. I think it’s just two random guys who tried to hit on twins and it all got carried away

I guess the subtext here is that these guys are pieces of shit and don’t really own the expensive cars they’ve used as props to brag about and inflate their shitty lifestyle. Like, it’s possible to loathe a garbage person for their personality, actions, and philosophy, while also maintaining a morsel of respect for their success and business acumen. But if it’s revealed that the success was also a charade, that morsel dies.

I feel like I’m explaining something to my toddler.

 
 
 

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!!
