helpImTrappedOnline,

Leaching on to mod powers to grab attention, for what purpose, I do not know.

helpImTrappedOnline,

Nah, that one seems too funny to miss

helpImTrappedOnline,

Yo…that’s a major spoiler you got there in a completely unrelated community.

To those of you with nothing to hide: One day you might have. Because you don’t make the rules. (mullvad.net)

The most common argument used in defense of mass surveillance is ‘If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear’. Try saying that to women in the US states where abortion has suddenly become illegal. Say it to investigative journalists in authoritarian countries. Saying ‘I have nothing to hide’ means you stop...

helpImTrappedOnline,

Not too sure about the middle part, but the end was pointing out that baby pictures of little Sally playing in the tub are not okay to share or take in the first place.

Its a common enough situation where Ma is going through the baby album with your bride-to-be or a total stranger (mother-in-law) and there’s a bunch of photos of under-dressed children that would definetny make the wrong crowd happy to have.

helpImTrappedOnline,

Most inhabitants are great, you just have get to know them a a bit…but avoid those tall hairless monkeys, those things are vicious.

Privacy friendly art home alert system? (kbin.run)

Our garage flooded last night (not the first time) and so I want to install some water sensors in the garage and basement. There's dumb ones that look similar to a smoke detector, but all they do is make noise, which I'm willing to bet I won't hear since I can barely hear the smoke detector in the kitchen when I'm upstairs....

helpImTrappedOnline, (edited )

You should probably get a louder smoke decetor if you can barely hear it upstairs.

I’m going to go with the DIY approach;

For the water sensor, I’d look into the possibility of linking the basement alarm to a speaker upstairs. I’ve no idea what kind of alarm you’re looking at or what the electronics are like. Theoreticaly, you can jump off the audio signal just before it reaches the speaker. Send the audio signal through an amp (located close* to the alarm, preferably where it won’t get wet) and connect it to a speaker upstairs.

I would never try to mess with a smoke detector I rely on, but a water sensor…buy two and have fun.

*the amp is to overcome voltage drop in the new cable, I doubt that the sensor electronics will be capable of driving a seperate speaker with at least 30 ft of cable between it.

helpImTrappedOnline,

Sony controllers will not work, it must be a bootleg controller that only works on Windows and requires sketchy drivers.

helpImTrappedOnline,

All the time, although nothing this complicated.

Find X in this formula… okay, I’ll just put in the 4 choices and see which one works.

So pitates pirates are why America uses freedom units.

helpImTrappedOnline,

Here I thought you made a typo…but no, you typed it exactly right :D

Some dude who plays football all day, and a lady that loves to fly in air planes.

helpImTrappedOnline,

Voyager gets better when 7 shows up.

I think her story grounds the show a bit better.

Her character development, and dynamic with doc were quite enjoyable.

Can’t complain about the outfit either…okay maybe a little from an in universe POV, who the fuck gave her that dress? And why did no one make her change?

helpImTrappedOnline,

If he’s still stuffed, the cookie certainly isn’t.

helpImTrappedOnline,

Nah, she’ll call harassment of her beliefs or something and twist so OP is the bad guy.

helpImTrappedOnline,

If you really want to upset some people ask “what if god made evolution?”

helpImTrappedOnline,

Unadvanced civilation: murders crew in cold blood. While they are cleaning up the mess, the same crew comes back with phasers ready.

helpImTrappedOnline,

Brilliant

helpImTrappedOnline,

Dr. Pepper strikes again

helpImTrappedOnline,

I think they’re only duplicating the new shoebox pill.

The initial shoebox is filled with all the pills from list, including a new shoebox pill and a new duplicate pill. In fact the duplication pill is reduant so long as you always use the new shoebox pill to get another box of pills.

The duplication pill is still good to make backup shoebox pills. You don’t want to rely on the one and accidently use it on something else, breaking the infinite loop.

helpImTrappedOnline,

I took it more as a you can only pick two, but if you had them all - you could eat them all (side effects may vary)

helpImTrappedOnline,

For sure. Let insurance buy you a house that wasn’t made by a 3rd year architectual design student trying to be different for the sake of being different.

helpImTrappedOnline,

Thats pretty much the rule on the ship.

“Well, that was fucking weird and significantly life changing. Guess I’ll just fly away and never speak of it again”

helpImTrappedOnline,

Lies! The smoke never comes near me🧟

helpImTrappedOnline,

Thats impossible, my grandma always called me a handsome lad. She’d never lie to her own dear little grandson.

helpImTrappedOnline,

Anybody else come here curious about actual 12ft ladder alternatives and why they wouldn’t work on sites anymore?

helpImTrappedOnline,

I did exactly as you said, is it supposed to be chewy?

helpImTrappedOnline,

Dont ask what happened to tea cups in bueaty and the beast

helpImTrappedOnline,

You can’t fool us. We know all of you are boxing kangaroos upsidedown just to get to work everyday.

helpImTrappedOnline,

Those are geographic boarders not polticals ones. New Guinea is included because, like Australia the country, its part of the continent of Australia.

helpImTrappedOnline,

Wikipedia says it is en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia_(continent)

Like my teacher always said “Trust everything you read on the internet. Also you need to listen better”

helpImTrappedOnline,

Fact check: I do not wear crocs, yet I am an idiot. There is no correlation between the two.

Ask: How do you handle your résumés?

Usually I rely on my network & haven’t needed this kind of document in ages, but I’ve been tasked with creating a résumé for myself. I’ve grown more privacy-conscious every year & I think it’s weird that we are expected to give out so much information about ourselves to companies that lie about their culture & don’t...

helpImTrappedOnline,

Maybe they are pretentious and applying to a pretentious inistute of prestige. Any resume without an é is immediately burnt in a fancy fireplace and the applicant is shunned from the pretentious society forever. Its possible, right?

They crashed. Wonder Woman must have told him the typical excuse “I didn’t see you”.

Both had invisible space ships.

helpImTrappedOnline,

Thats what I said

For some its not a big deal. For anyone with the computer in their bed room, they want to click shut off and not have all the flashy lights and fans on for the next 30 minutes while windows undoes all the debloat tools you’ve ran.

What apps would you love to have open-source alternatives for?

It seems like the FOSS community is continuing to grow, and FOSS apps keep getting better (Immich reallh blew my mind recently), which is a big win 😎 but there are still many apps I use that I would kill for an open source alternative. I am curious what you guys think? Are there any apps you’d love alternatives for?

helpImTrappedOnline, (edited )

I like Simple Note.

I’m not sure about real time collab, but I know you can share notes.

simplenote.com

They do have a github page. Having to make an account and store notes server side is a big minus, but it is the only one I’ve found to

  1. Not be Google
  2. support all major OS (Lin, Win, Mac, And, ios, and browser)
  3. Not serve ads
  4. Not require self hosting
  5. Not ask for money (beside a donate button)
  6. Not be Google

Edit.

Digging into it a bit more. Seems they started in 2008 and were aquired by Automattic, in 2013. Same people behind WordPress. Oddly enough, Simple Note is not listed in their list of products.

Simple Note client side is GPL-2.0 The server is proprietary

They say on their own site, don’t store sensitive data. But that’s good advice for any online service.

helpImTrappedOnline,

if some stranger tries to grab your keys you can drop them inside.

When it finally happens “HA, I’ve been waiting 49 years for this exact situation! they all said I crazy.” Old man shouts at sky “I told you Grettle that I’d have a use for that hole someday!!!”

A few moments later“Now, how do I get to the basment with no key”

helpImTrappedOnline,

Time to burn everything down and start fresh.

helpImTrappedOnline,

Probably. I find a JIS driver is, for the most part, slightly better for a lot of what I do.

The main thing I’ve found is you dont want too much of a point on the bit end. Too pointy and the driver will just wobble on the point and strip everything out.

helpImTrappedOnline,

And you say “okay… come on over” and make sure that stranger is never seen again.
