Japan to criminalise cannabis use
  • Use vs. Possession

    Possession is the behavior that’s typically illegal, but use is legally tolerated because people can be exposed to it (the article gives the example of farmers being exposed while producing legal hemp).

  • India: Man Dies After Being Thrown Out Of An Ambulance While Trying To Stop The Driver From Molesting His Wife
  • Those are all basically the same thing and qualified by the main point: Like elsewhere in the world, there are crappy people in quantities relative to the population size, given disproportionate exposure by the unflattering confirmation bias of media.

  • Reddit is a disaster and it's ban/appeal system is a joke
  • I got banned from r/firstimpression due to super generic “nsfw activity.” A woman had posted a picture of herself in green and brown clothing and sitting amongst some flowers and her post was titled “What do you think my job is?”

    My ban-worthy cheeky comment was “wood nymph”

    Oh no!! Anyway,..

    Moved from big city to small nearby city for the garden, work from home, no cable or fiber internet, so gotta rely on Starlon Lusk

  • Building DIY a smart doorbell but would appreciate some help with the power and wiring

    Hello, and thank you in advance.

    I'm making a privacy friendly "ring" cam/doorbell following this guide: https://tristam.ie/2023/758/ which has been great, but requires running a micro-usb cable down to the doorbell for power. I'm hoping to improve on this by using the existing doorbell power instead.

    The problem is that I'm a DIY electronics noob and I can't create a mental model for how it should all work. The picture I attached is my existing doorbell wiring scheme, which is as simple as it comes. I totally get how this works. Pressing the doorbell completes the circuit and makes the bingbongs. But this will have to change so the new door cam gets power full time. Ideally without the chime bingbonging full time.

    In addition to the ESP-32CAM, button, ring lights, etc., I also bought these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079FJSYGY which I thought might be needed to complete the circuit?

    I measured the voltage after the transformer and it was around 18 volts, but maybe this is AC and I want DC?

    Generally I don't know where in "the loop" to put things. Also, all the existing components are very far apart from each other, so I would love a solution that doesn't involve running any new wires through the walls.

    Any help is appreciated. Thank you!!
