I personally like finding acorns and holding them in my hand until they're shiny.

Shots Fired Into the Home of Oregon Insurance CEO
  • 700,000 = upwards of a million a year. I did the math.

  • I'm out
  • Ah. I tried tuta, back when I decided to go for proton instead. Their security requirements were more restrictive than I was able to allow for regular email use, although I don't remember the details of what they were, anymore.

  • I'm out
  • How do y'all do your email and calendars? Those are the two things that aren't easy to replace from proton.

    Mind, my email needs to be reliable for work reasons.

  • Shots Fired Into the Home of Oregon Insurance CEO
  • The CEOs comment on things:

    he reportedly wrote in the email. “An investigation is underway, and we don’t know if this was specifically targeted to me.”

    SAIF is a state-chartered not-for-profit and the largest workers’ compensation agency in Oregon. Terhune has been CEO of SAIF since 2021, when his base salary was $500,000.

    KGW8, a local news station in Oregon, reported Monday that SAIF received threatening emails from the purported gunman ahead of the shooting.

    Man gets paid upwards of 1 million a year, and is either really hopeful, or really dense.

  • If people don't want others to be Doomers, why arent they doing something about all the doom in the world?
  • Yeah, It's a fantasy in the same vein as punching your boss. It's not a solution to your problems, just an end to one or two, at best. At worst it just makes everything worse.

  • Sometimes you can tell you've messed up, but you're not actually sure why so you just have to keep going and hope they let you get away with whatever it was

    Are conservatives mad about trans people or they just mad they get walk around out of the closet while they have to leave the white sheets at home?
  • Besides actively donating to the union, various causes which slow the end times such as wikipedia, keeping my emissions low, planting trees in my yard, and taking care of family members in need, you mean? I'm posting goddamn memes that aren't spreading rage inducing bullshit.

    I'm well aware that things aren't as good as they could be. I'm damn well doing what I can to make my little slice of the world a little less shitty. None of these things are helped by reading or posting about how awful everything is.

  • Are conservatives mad about trans people or they just mad they get walk around out of the closet while they have to leave the white sheets at home?
  • Honestly, I have blocked almost all political news on Lemmy since most of it is just re-hashed emotional trigger subjects.

    God yes, if it's not conservative or tankie bs, it's the doomers talking about how literally everything is going to end in the next five years.

    Lotion recommendations
  • Yes, I use the same face cream as well. It does a really good job of keeping my face feeling right.

  • When you get to the right answer with the wrong question
  • Yeah vaccines being good/bad is one set of politics. It's a whole other thing to add autism in just to use it as a reason to hate something else.

    So why the hate for the archive our own?
  • We need context before this question can be answered. Everything popular on the internet has at least one person who despises it.

    15 February 1988
  • I grabbed scanned copies of the books from the seven seas, which are higher quality than the ones available on gocomics. Since these are being pirated anyways, I figured using that would be a better option. I also ran them through a imagemagik script to try and automatically rearrange the comics so they're more mobile friendly. I've attached an example. Feel free to poke me for the sources and the script if that's something that interests you.

  • Phone Calls are the Worst
  • Yeah, this comic was really funny for me right up until I started living with someone who would literally do this and then live with massive guilt the rest of their life because of it.

  • ENHANCE
  • I had a friend who got corrective surgery and their eyesight got wrecked afterwards. I had several friends who got surgery and had no issues.

    I depend on my eyes entirely too much to ever consider risking it, and contacts squick me out too much for me to use them. So I'll settle for the hassle of glasses over the drawbacks of the others.

    These lenses in the article in particular still aren't for sale, despite the article being ten years old now. They do have a lot of ai-hype articles about them though.

  • Attempting to wire a Shelly Plus Uni into my AC damper circuit
  • Posted wrong, here's my whole story:

    I have a single AC damper that is fail-close, but was wired as always powered open by the people who put the AC unit into my house before I bought it. This would be fine, except I live near a meat packing plant, and sometimes the air outside stinks. I want to be able to close and open the damper based on various criteria I get from home assistant. (air quality, direction, speed, etc)

    This is the AC damper unit: https://www.resideo.com/us/en/pro/products/air/forced-air-zoning/replacement-actuators/replacement-motor-for-eard-ventilation-damper-m847d-vent-u/

    This is the shelly plus uni im trying to use: https://us.shelly.com/products/shelly-plus-uni

    And the multimeter says the output power for the damper (which is powered by my AC unit) outputs 30V AC power.

    I was able to power the shelly device by just plugging it into the AC power with Red to Red, and Black to Black. However, it turns out the Shelly device does not send that power out through its two switchable outputs. Those are called "dry circuits" apparently.

    So my goal is to power the shelly device, the ac damper device, and have the shelly device ALSO switch the damper on and off. I know it's possible, I just don't know how.

    So, the above diagram is my attempt to wire the shelly device into the setup. However, whenever I power the relay in the shelly device, the shelly device fries itself. So I'm looking for where I went wrong, and how to make it all work.

  • Give me a bit. I posted wrong, but it's being written up now.

  • Help with Home Server Architecture and Hardware Selection?
  • Don't worry about how a video card was used. Unless it was handled by howtobasic, they're gonna break long after they're obsolete. You might worry about a bad firmware setup, but you avoid that by looking at the seller rating, not the video card.

    there's an argument to be made that a mining gpu is actually the better card to buy since they never went hot>cold>hot>cold (thus stressing the solder joints) like a regular user would do. But it's just that; an argument. I have yet to find a well researched article on the effects of long-term gaming as compared to long term mining, but I can tell you that the breaking point for either is long after you would have kept the card in use, even second or third hand.

  • Help with Home Server Architecture and Hardware Selection?
  • I know most of the less expensive used hardware is going to be server-shaped/rackmount. Don't go for it unless you have a garage or shed that you can stuff them in. They put out jet-engine levels of noise and require god tier soundproofing in order to quiet them. The ones that are advertised as quiet are quiet as compared to other server hardware.

    You can grab an epyc motherboard that is ATX and will do all you want, and can then move it to a rackmount later if you end up going that way.

    The NVIDIA launch has been a bit of a paper one. I don't expect the prices of anything else to adjust down, rather the 5090 may just end up adjusting itself up. This may change over time, but the next couple of months aren't likely to have major deals worth holding out for.
