Yeah they blocked it a few months ago. I don’t remember the specifics, but it seemed like a new mod/admin came into play and didn’t get the memo about Lemmy and trying to be more transparent and engaged with communities. Just poof

First, you’re part of many networks you don’t know. If they use your device to track you, they need concent, but if they use someone else’s device, they do not.

Every phone you pass within 100’ can see your broadcast, log a time and position and list of devices. Real time tracking and mapping exists today. Grocery stores use this to track and market content to you before you even check out.

You can opt out, but that may only stop you from seeing results; the devices are still tracked and logged.

But I am confused by the encryption. Gathering nearby devices and GPS location doesn’t use an owners encryption key. That would have to be encrypted after collection/processing using the owners account settings. At that stage, does it matter much?

I just saw one too. Not a particularly bright bird. It was sitting there yelling at me and I said out loud “what’s your deal, yo?”

She laid eggs 2 feet from railroad tracks and was telling me to bugger off. They really blend in well!

Oh, to me it sounded like you could access the video, it just had DRM so you couldn’t save it.

Different problem

I assume you don’t need the absolute best in quality, but I’d try a screen capture utility.

On a Mac, QuickTime player can record sections.

I primarily use 2811’s and my first projects were very susceptible to RF noise. It took me a month to figure that one out.

Don’t use cheap-ola power supplies and wall worts from unknown past gizmos. (But even the simple Chinese metal boxes off amazon work) And by all means keep your phone away from your project. It took me ages to associate a text message to static.

And add a capacitor to filter out power noise. That was a big one for me.

Double check settings, pins, and use a level shifter if you need a signal boost. I sacrificed one LED attached straight on the board to bump the pin output from 3v to 5v.

That seemed to do it for me. Good luck!

I’m torn between blocking a community and being the change Lemmy needs. There are a lot of sensationalists on here and clickbait. I really wanted to bring discourse and niche passion to Lemmy, and some communities are wonderful, but man, there are some bad apples here; a wild West of unmoderated reddit soapboxes and megaphones.

I keep trying to think of ways to help, but solutions start to lean towards reddit style moderation (which pissed off users) or defederation (which will fracture this whole project).

I am hopeful though.

I bought a refurbished screen with built in VNC client or something from woot. Sweet! Set up VNC on my server, get home, fire up the screen, and it asks for DOJ login. 😳 Full stop.

Never plugged that into a network again.

Not at all. Simply one doesn’t generally need a doctor every year and sometimes, more often in my case, medical care is not received, or received with such a delay, I’ve healed on my own.

The last time I actually needed emergency life-saving health care was 10 years ago and my insurance denied treatment.

I saw my last doctor with lower right abdominal pain, a fever, and blood in my urine.

He gave me a list of heartburn triggers and foods to avoid.

Some American health care is on par with survival of the fittest in my books. (Hopefully it changes soon. Still finding, or rather being assigned, a new doctor.)

Wait, is this somesort of punishment, cuz it sounds amazing.

Like, getting away from shit for a year and head into the woods, no problems, no worries, make friends, brew some beer, campfires, games.

And you want us to come back to our 9-5’s, struggling wages, and stress?

Sounding better by the minute!

I realized that too ages ago. But I still find blocks better for 2 reasons. 1) you can cut cheese mold off and the rest is perfectly fine so blocks can last longer. 2) shredded does have anti caking agents to keep it loose. Nothing bad IMO, but unnecessary for my cooking.

I’m with you on that. There are some gems on streaming sites still, but lots of half baked content to sift through.

I’ve actually started buying DVDs again to add to a plex archive. A lot of not-current shows and movies are in my budget and I don’t have to worry about availability. I will say Plex tells me what service has what content in my watchlist which is nice, but doesn’t work for everything.

My SO and I were searching for a show and just gave up; too much of a hassle. Downloading would have been easy if we wanted, but after doing the searching dance, we just didn’t care anymore and threw on a show we know and enjoy.

Hold on to your butts…

Good luck on your updates. Thanks for all your work. Raise a glass

I was driving around doing errands and passed by that pie place. I was all “Hey! Is that the famous pie place now?” Yup, sure enough. The shop was closer then I thought. Best of luck to them!

I remember modest coffee had something like that happen and bought a box of beans to help them out.

Antenna on roof over here. Just finished checking the alignment. I’m all set!

Edit: just noticed the community. Might not help. Good luck though.

There is a nonconductive coating on the wire that also prevents it from oxidizing. The wires can touch, but if the coating isn’t scratched it won’t short.

Some fine grit sandpaper will reveal the metal so you can solder connections.

I spent hours trying to find a specific DVD and gave up. Found it by other means in about 10 minutes.

Eventually I found the DVD about 6 months later misplaced in a CD case.

Didnt lose any sleep over that one.

It tickles me when I read of journalists protecting their privacy. You can see how far up the tree they’ve climbed.

There are many, many more ways to track that anonymous phone. These are feel-good settings to disable for that sense of false security; like you’re in control. It does have effect, don’t get me wrong.

But a big part of tracking is not what your phone sends, but other devices detect. There’s no opt out of that data collection.

Welcome to advertising tricks. My SO gets my ads because I block them too. “Blocks ads” is a data point that is tracking you around the web. They simply redirect your content to the next closest impressionable consumer. If they can’t reach you, they’ll market everywhere around you.

But this takes off doubly so this time of year. This trick really ramps up around gift giving events like The holidays, v-day, birthdays, or other life events.
