That is a good post and I hadn’t heard of the T2S+ before. But it costs $300+ and is around 50K pixels (256x192). I see that an 160x120 FLIR Lepton module is $184 these days (Digikey). So this new stuff is competitive but not revolutionary imho. It’s good that the FLIR monopoly is finally broken though. All that existed earlier other than FLIR was very low res devices.

$11/m is a lot. If you just want a small site on shared hosting, try namecrane.com. For storage use Hetzner Storage Box.

Is there another post somewhere giving a general description of what you are doing?

Do you have a link about your messaging app? And PIR doesn’t conceal the existence of traffic, so it doesn’t seem like the right thing for messaging. It’s more for databases as the name implies. What exactly are you trying to do?

I used proxmox and have played a little with nix and guix, but simplest is just use debian, put /home on a separate logical partition from the system partition so you can reinstall the system without clobbering user files, and as people keep saying, backup early and often.

This seems to be different and is geared towards directly looking after other humans. Hactivism as I’m used to the term, can often be technocratic.

Simplest is use /etc/hosts to set up names, if there are just a few.

Yes, remove the thumbnail and expand the text into that space. Sorry for the confusion.

The options I see there are card, small card, and list. All of these show the thumbnail. This is in 0.0.65 currently on f-droid. Is that not expected?

Did you just discover this? It’s a Microsoft site after all.

No a lot less, twilio is $1/mo, see also VoIP.ms and vitality.net

I don’t care much about any of these technical intricacies regarding word matching. I want Lemmy to be a human institution, which means no bots editing people’s posts beyond possible spam control. If there is a serious trolling problem featuring specific keywords in a community, I’m fine with a moderator manually kicking off some automatic action to remove a bunch of posts at the same time. But we don’t need robot nannies surveilling and messing with all of our posts.

Here’s another example, not from here. Before celullar phones, before television, before broadcast radio and even before the telephone, there was the telegraph. Communications with it were done in Morse code, by operators tapping away on telegraph keys. Telegraph keys were typically made of brass, and people who used them all day were called “brass pounders”. That profession is long since obsolete, but there are still ham radio enthusiasts who use Morse code as a hobby, and there is a group of them called the BPL, for “Brass Pounder’s League”. There are also people who simply try to honor the history of the venerable telegraph even though they recognize it as being a relic from the bygone era.

Anyway, where am I going. Someone started a pretty good site about telegraphy and telegraph keys, called “brasspounder.net” which was a really cool name. Unfortunately Google’s algorithm seems to have classified that name as that of a porn site, because it saw the word you get if you ignore the “br” at the beginning, leaving “ass pounder”. Whoops. The site ended up changing its name to telegraphy.net, which is fine but less evocative in my opinion. Oh well.

The above is an example of the so-called Scunthorpe problem. Let’s see if Lemmy has that too.

This is the support community and I’m requesting that the software be fixed.

There’s tons of memes and stuff, but I was never into that, so meh. My thing was specialized nerd groups and they are mostly not here yet. With time, maybe they will come.
