Note to self: take up lock picking.
I started 3d printing during COVID when people started talking about printing masks. I realized quickly that that wasn’t a great idea but I had the printer at that point. Discovered quickly that it’s was fun and useful for all kinds of stuff.
Printing lead to microcontrollers and minicomputera as I came up with cool stuff to print for neat home automation and various other useful tools.
This led to having a couple Raspberries kicking around which led me to extensive, self-hosted home automation. That’s my current obsession.
I’m wondering where this goes next.
tinyVoltron@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•The justices of the supreme court ruled that Trump was immune and effectively above the law while being president. What is now stopping Biden from bringing a gun to the next debate?72·1 year agoThe supreme Court is specifically saying the order is legal. He could say it’s part of his official duties, in which case the order itself would be legal. His official duties include commanding the armed forces. If the president gives an order, a marine or a Navy SEAL cannot choose to not follow that order on legal grounds. They can choose to not follow on moral grounds but that refusal in itself would be illegal. Should it come to that, I would hope the vast majority of the armed forces would refuse the order.
In her dissent, justice Sotomayor specifically said that the president could order an assassination and could not be prosecuted for it. I am assuming she knows more than you are I about how the legal system works.

You certainly can argue that protecting the integrity of the voting system is part of that job.

Who’s to say what’s reasonable.
when challenging the election, that is not an official act
Why not? He could make the argument that the election was stolen and ignoring it is in the best interest of the United states.

What about Groovy?
As a DevOps guy, I can tell you we’re black magic sadists. You should feel the pain. Not us.
I’m with you. I’ve been chewing paper my whole life. Love it. Am I broken?
Sunglasses. Would go thru 4 or 5 pairs of cheap plastic lense sunglasses every year. The lenses would always get all scratched. Bit the bullet and bought a pair of Costas 3 years ago. Lenses still look brand new.
tinyVoltron@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's a food you love, that isn't worth making from scratch?61·1 year agoI literally made 15 10-inch crepes for my family this morning. Using 2 pans it took about 30-40 minutes. Made some raspberry sauce before getting the crepes going. All told, the whole process took less than an hour and was awesome.
tinyVoltron@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How are slavery reparations fair?84·2 years agoI’m a white guy in the Northeast US. My family came from Canada in the early 20th century. None of my grandparents ever owned land. They all were either homemakers or menial laborers. My family didn’t own anything until the 70s. Should I pay reparations?
tinyVoltron@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What can a senior desktop support tech do who is burned out?English5·2 years agoDevOps is fun and you’ll learn a lot in a short amount of time. You will have to learn a bunch of stuff about automation, how different technologies are built and deployed, source control, etc. It’s a steep learning curve but awesome if you’re up to the challenge. It is never boring. I’ve been working on DevOps processes since before it was called DevOps. I’ve always been happy to be in this sector. Keep in mind that there is no set definition for DevOps. Some purists will argue what I do, setting up the tools and automation then let the devs do their thing, is not DevOps. They might believe that DevOps means developers set everything up and support everything. Of course, that doesn’t scale. Other companies just rebrand build engineers as DevOps. That’s about the most boring thing I can think of, besides QA. :-) Good luck!
New England would like to come with you!
