The .md publishing step you’re asking about is very neatly handled by Neuron ( https://neuron.zettel.page/ ). The community is helpful and the original author of the project is a great guy and accessible on matrix. you’ll be

We’re going to fundamentally disagree there, but that’s ok - I don’t think it’s worth getting in to. We’re mostly on the same page.

You can’t just erase something good that someone did by saying they did a lot of bad in the world, it just means they have done both bad and good things.

Weird. The trans people I know and speak to have no problem with the acknowledgement of biological femininity. Actually they mostly factor that fact of world into part of what defines their identity..

Friendly reminder: It’s typically a good time to do some self-reflection when you find yourself saying “I support the positions of the mob”

i’m not familiar with JKR’s anti-trans speech. got a quote?

Point taken. I was thinking more along the lines of: any personal experience? have you found that it helps with the activation problem you're describing?

by vcavallo 6y ago
interesting. > being aware of the activation/motivation distinction is a good first step what’s the second step? :) Do you have thoughts on adderall?

crypto is all wrapped up with other things that the powerful, vocal, hateful slice of the internet like to trash in public (while blindly supporting one another on anything that feels connected).

interesting project! thanks for referencing it. how long have you been running it and what’s the experience been like?

$300-$500 ballpark. especially if the pi is usable for other (relatively light) home server uses and the camera network is extensible

Thanks for the details! yea i picked up a generic chinese camera and did not at all like the required login to their servers... I’m not confident enough in my sysadmin skills to make sure this thing isn’t spying on me. I’m considering spend

What cameras and monitoring software do you use? I’ve been trying to put together a self-hosted surveillance situation to replace this Nest. So far I’ve got a super cheap PoE camera from amazon and Zoneminder. The camera leaves a lot to be

My original (sort of absurdist) point was exactly that; saying "here's the line between 'smart people' and 'non-smart people'" is both pointless and rude. Everyone has different threat models and resources

indeed! and when a lot of people are talking about 'self-hosting' they're mostly talking about a VPS they rent from some provider who could vanish just as easily as Proton can. I'd like to see the numbers on how many sel

it’s temporary until you’re fully switched over.

the autoreply is a great addition! i’ll have to add that to my switching process. thanks.

i’m doing it. forward all gmail to proton, reply from proton mail only. unsubscribe or more all junk over. eventually you’ll be fully switched over. takes time. definitely use a custom domain so you never have to do this again.

describing this further in a clearer and simpler manner (or with examples) could be very helpful.
