Do your neighbour's security cameras make you uncomfortable? Here's what you can do in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

I have cameras. I told my neighbours about them and showed where they were pointed. I blacked out private areas when they were unintentionally picked up. No complaints.

I also walk past a camera that has been placed so that it only records the public footpath. Pisses me off, because its not protecting their house/property, just recording the public.

Should I insulate my garage attic? in c/[email protected]

Get/borrow a thermal camera, and use that to see where the heat is coming in. Some libraries have thermal cameras, but that might be rare. You can also get very cheap and nasty thermal cameras from Aliexpress for $60 AUD

Proton VPN: Free servers in 5 more countries holding elections in 2024 in c/[email protected]

This is the kind of initiative that makes me want to sign up. Don't care for VPNs in general, but maybe its time to get a proton mail account.

Where do you intend on sourcing the films from? Netflix/YT/Prime/🏴‍☠️/DVD? Rotate through a set of sources?

Cool idea though, count me in if the films are accessible.

Why English language is sometimes "lazy", sometimes not in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 38 points 2 weeks ago

Because English is half a dozen languages wrapped in a trenchcoat? A lot of the law related words are from French derivations AFAIK?

Domain specific language is found across all realms of society, even firefighters have words or phrases with a specific meaning (back-burning, pumper, appliance, etc). So maybe its not that some areas are lazy, its just that you haven't been exposed to their more technical side?

How to fork a github repo to forgejo? in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Request-pull, on the other hand is a native git feature. Just no one uses it AFAIK, and you'll probably confuse anyone if you try.

30M Potentially Affected in Tickettek Australia Cloud Breach in c/[email protected]

That's impressive given we only have 26M people :/

What could Apple force app developers to do that would improve your iOS / macOS experience? in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Our point was that it doesn't need to involve app developers at all, it should just be handled by the OS automatically.

It doesn't hurt to look over the fence and see what works.

A cool guide on the easiest swimsuit colors to spot in case a drowning happens in c/[email protected]

I work in an office, but if I trip and fall 10km to the west, I'll be right in the middle of the bay! Gonna wear speedos to work from now on to be safe.

I wasn't afraid of drowning at work before, but now I am :D

Only 60% of Australians accept ‘climate disruption’ is human-caused, global poll finds in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 10 points 3 weeks ago

In fairness, One Nation voters can't read, so we can't expect them to understand anything. And 60% is still a majority. But doesn't feel good being down with UAE and Nigeria :(

domains on internal network in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Never heard that term, but its a very obscure concept, so wouldn't surprise me if it had multiple names. Probably vender specific names?

Seems quite a few people havent heard of it, hence a lot of the split DNS answers :/

Gnome + Xorg == Mouse causes (programming.dev)

submitted 7 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

8 comments fedilink

I have this very weird glitch with Gnome, running on Xorg. I can move my mouse off the right hand edge of the screen, and the entire gnome UI starts to scroll over the the left, giving me a glitchy mess on the right hand side of the screen. The screenshot doesn't really do it justice, because it just became transparent instead, but the transparent region where the terminal is should be off screen.

Hope I have explained that well, has anyone else hit that? I wonder if its due to multiple monitors, or non-aligned monitors?

Does alien.top do anything other than mirror reddit comments? (programming.dev)

submitted 8 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

26 comments fedilink

I have just realised that alien.top seems to be mirroring reddit accounts, posts and comments, without labelling them as such. What is the point of this one way mirroring? As soon as users realise, they are going to just leave. There is no point having a discussion with a bot that cannot respond.

First glass bed failure with PETG (programming.dev)

submitted 8 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

13 comments fedilink

I have been printing with PETG on glass for a little while now, and have gone through almost an entire roll. Yesterday I had my first print stick so hard that it delaminated the glass :(. I stopped using hairspray as it made the prints not stick at all, and printing bare glass was just fine. But something about yesterdays print made the glass give up. Is this how PETG + Glass normally fails? Works perfectly for years, and then suddenly fails?
