I’ve always wondered if something like this would work:

Take a relatively short bit of wire, make a flat spiral at one end about the size of the button, tape that spiral to the button. Then take the other end of the wire hook it up to a relay with the other end attached to ground (or any big metal object probably). I would imagine then closing the relay is “touching” and opening the relay is “not touching”.

I have no idea if that would actually work, but it seems to me like it should. You just need something to interrupt the electric field above the “button”.

I just pulled my Bangle.js 2 back out to play with making a better reminder system for myself. It works better than any of the other open source watches I’ve had with my GrapheneOS phone. The hardware isn’t open source as far as I know, but their mobile app (fork of gadget bridge) is, as are all the apps that run on the watch, and (I think?) the watch OS.

Check your state or country’s laws, you might not even need the contract amended. In the state that I live in any contract clause that tries to prevent you from doing any work entirely on your own time with entirely your own materials is explicitly unenforceable.

Plus if it’s just a small open source library (assuming your employer is sane) it’d be a waste of money for them to even ask a lawyer to write a letter to you, because why would anyone care.

If you really care about getting it right, you can find a local employment attorney and have them explain your local laws and edit and/or negotiate your contract for you. I did that once, but I felt like it was probably a waste of the $900 I paid. (I mean, it definitely was a waste in that case because that job was a nightmare and it only lasted 2 months, lol.)

1. Post your actual configs and logs or people will only be able to guess. (Censor any secrets.)

2. My guess: It’s probably your nginx config.

3. Why are you using 0.19.4? That version is over a year old.

Fun idea. Subbed.

Despite the name, in practice it seems to be all about getting away from all big-tech.

I know this website seems sketchy/scammy AF, but I found that these actually do a good job dimming the LEDs to reasonable levels, but keeping them visible.

I imagine (mostly because of all the “patent pending” bs) that this is a film you just just buy from somewhere else way cheaper, I just don’t know what it is.

Mine for a while has been playing Fall Guys. It’s a game that’s somewhat challenging to do well at, but there’s no stakes, and it’s a brightly colored game that’s good ad giving you a quick “dopamine” hit without sucking you in. It also lets me look at lemmy a bit between rounds, but makes sure I don’t get stuck here, forcing me to put it down when the next round starts.

3. FOR PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION, “THREE-DIMENSIONAL PRINTER” MEANS A COMPUTER OR COMPUTER-DRIVEN MACHINE OR DEVICE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING A THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECT FROM A DIGITAL MODEL

Well, that’s a broad definition. I guess to whomever wrote that, a CNC mill is also a 3d printer.

It doesn’t sync to homeassistant, but I use a Xiaomi scale with openScale off of F-Droid. There’s a few different scales supported: https://github.com/oliexdev/openScale/wiki/Supported-scales-in-openScale

Nothing near that impressive. I don’t make the fancy sand, I just move electrons around with fancy sand that someone else made, aka programming.

Nah, there’s no real meaning to my username. It’s just some random letters that are vaguely pronounceable.

Yeah, this one. I just meant programming.

I organize electrons in ways that make fancy sand organize more electrons.

I’d personally look for a used Prusa i3 MK3[S[+]]. Part of that is personal bias, it’s what I still print with (specifically the MK3S variant, I haven’t bothered to upgrade it to +), but in all the years I’ve had it it’s been an absolute workhorse and has very much thrived on the copious amount of neglect I’ve given it. The only things I’ve ever done to it are install firmware updates and occasionally smear some grease on the smooth rods with a finger. Still, every time I print with it, it just works.

Prusa just announced a new printer so there might be a little wave of them being put up for sale.

Edit: You mentioned that you want to print ASA, which AFAIK requires an enclosure. The MK3 is annoying to put in an enclosure because you have to move the power supply outside the enclosure. Though the printer that Prusa just announced is enclosed and is < $1000 (just) if that puts it in the “low-cost” category for you. https://www.prusa3d.com/product/prusa-core-one-kit-2/

So my advice to other IT folk is: take the time to check up on your state’s employment laws. If you are being exploited by your employer they may be totally in the wrong.

I’m unfortunately in a state with even more vague and useless definition of who gets to be exempt than the federal definition.

It has definitely changed, I don’t know when, but it’s been like this for at least the last decade.

Though, in my experience (NB: I’m a software engineer, which is a notoriously lax field.) only what the piece of paper says has changed. Hell, most of my employee handbooks have claimed that “full time” is 50 hours a week. They get away with it because I’m classified as a “computer employee” (lol) and make more than $35k/year (super lol) which means my employment is exempted from minimum wage and overtime pay laws.

Nobody that I know actually works that consistently. Most people I know don’t even do 40. I do 9-5 (or 8:30-4:30 usually), I take breaks when I need them and nobody has ever complained to me about the amount I’m working.

My only guess for why it’s this way is that having that be the official working time means it’s easier to fire anyone for no reason because they’re not working their “contractually obligated” amount of time.

You’re an Agnostic.

Agnosticism is the view or belief that the existence of God, the divine, or the supernatural is either unknowable in principle or unknown in fact.

Yeah.

They may block IP addresses associated with consumer ISPs. Assuming that’s the case, I would guess you’re seeing that as an HSTS/TLS error because their network is trying to trick your browser into redirecting to/displaying an error page hosted by some part of their network.
