[Challenge-Solved!] Hopefully not *too* easy... in c/whatisthisthing@lemmy.world

My only thought is there's an Amazon fulfillment centre there for Calgary and area, but like, Calgary is still one hell of a random Canadian place to put you.

As someone from near by to Balzac, that is one hell of an abscure place to put you. I think theres exactly 10 people that live there and there's some giant malls. That's about it.

I just looked on wiki and it says population 1 person.

Has Github/Microsoft rolled back the master to main switch? in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] wholookshere@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It defaults to master if your account existed before the change I believe.

At least I had to manually change it.

Foreign ownership is just a thing. You don't need a residence to own anything. Same here in Canada.

From there, you get 6 months visitors visas every year.

We're bringing Pebble back! in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] wholookshere@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 1 month ago

Yes, but reading the page tells you they've gotten google to open-source PebbleOS and highly suggests they're either going to maintain the open source version, or otherwise fork the code.

Trump calls to "clean out" Gaza and move Palestinians to Egypt and Jordan in c/news@lemmy.world

Just admit your not accepting proof.

You took someone's proof, and just stuck your head in the sand without actually addressing anything.

That's what makes this bad faith. It has nothing to do with smarts.

But thata exactly the point. Your not willing to accept any proof. So why should someone bother?

It's bad faith arguing.

I know exactly what proof it'd take to convince me the world is flat. And it's a simple explanation for all current observable effects.

No one has yet.

So asking for proof, AND setting the bar of that I'd accept is part of the burden of proof.

It's also a bad faith question to prove someone's thoughts.

Let me ask you this, what proof would you accept?

Not the person your arguing with.

Elon Musk email to X staff: ‘we’re barely breaking even’ in c/technology@lemmy.world

Let's not blame fellow workers for doing what they need to survive. Big tech companies are exploitive by nature, espcially H1B visas are basically indebted servitude at this point.

This is about class, not left vs right.

Would that make it okay if that wild rant was true?

The devil doesn't need advocates. He's president.

Most platforms proxy media shared.

Then your proposed workaround is still 1 click more than the reported one.

How I host Authentik/Matrix/Headscale to power my network - Part 1 (whitewhiskywolf.com)
 

Happy new years!

One of my personal goals is to secure the data of me and my community from data scraping as much as I can. I've also learned a ton from blog posts on how to host software, and it's time I contribute back.

So, welcome to my series on how I host my services with as little dependency on US-based services as I can.

I'd love feedback on my writing so I can learn and improve as well!

Cloud Free Smart Home (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

So I'm looking to purchase a house soon, and before I paint I want to set up wiring in the house for a cloud-free smart home.

I currently rent an apartment. I have a home server running unraid with home assistant, and can run whatever server software I want to run. I'm looking at upgrading to a townhouse. Before I have someone come in and paint, I want to wire things for my ideal smart home.

My main focus will be networking and speakers.

I want to set up a server closet for my lab. I plan to get mikrotik switches. I currently plan on using tp-link omada APs for each floor.

I'm less confident in the speaker setup.

System Audio Inputs:

  • TV in living room
  • TV in bedroom
  • Computer in office
  • Computer in bedroom#2
  • Any mobile device

audio out:

  • Living room
  • office
  • bedroom (x2)
  • kitchen
  • primary bathroom

I'm imagining having a receiver for all the TV inputs/outputs and a central one for the bathroom, kitchen. I'm unsure about the office.

Cost is not a problem, I'm okay with 10-15k on the equipment for this.

What kind of amps/receivers would work best?

Apartment Audio Solutions (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

So I’m looking to spend money on a new TV and audio setup.

I have two bedrooms, a living room, kitchen, an office, and two bathrooms that I’d like to fit with speakers. I do rent so I do need wireless.

For the TV in the living room and one bedroom I want a sound bar, but am planning for bookshelf style speakers for the rest of the rooms. I live in apartment building so I want to avoid a subwoofer. There’s decent sound proofing though, and I don’t plan on cranking the volume for any of these.

I want to be able to combine any rooms with each other and play music from any tv or Spotify.

Im currently looking at Sonos systems, but want to consider something more self hosted.

I wouldn’t know where to start looking for good systems. I imagine music assistant would handle the logic of what I need, but no clue on speakers and amplifiers.

Any ideas?
