What?! That boggles my mind - and would probably break my brain.
Cheers! It is actually a very lightly customised version of Atkinson. See https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2022/08/an-update-to-the-atkinson-hyperlegible-font/
Oooof! Yeah, I don’t think I could cope with that.
3·1 year agoI used mine to inspect the solar panels on our roof - https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2017/03/inspecting-solar-panels-using-a-drone/
I wanted to see if they were covered in bird shit. They weren’t.
Note when I did this, it was legal to fly a drone that close to private property. I don’t think it still is.
Could be worse. Could be a Nokia T9 predictive text input!
It’s my understanding that HDMI can supply a small amount of electricity - but it is from the computer to the display. See https://web.archive.org/web/20150319112324/http://www.hdmi.org/learningcenter/kb.aspx?c=13
How do you stop your instance getting out of hand?
I think that’s a lovely idea - which doesn’t work in reality. At some point someone will need to be cast out. That can’t be done by peer pressure, because scammers, spammers, and griefers don’t care about that.
Individual blocks also don’t work because they leave unaware users open to being abused.
Sure, you could have a town council vote on a block, or have software which blocks a user for all if they have been blocked >=N times, but that’s still moderation.
That’s brilliant. I hope one day it becomes viable for in-home use. I have a small solar setup and sell a lot of electricity back to the grid. My 2kWh battery can’t hold much.
One underrated thing that keeps the village going is the police. Or, in our case, the mods.
I know, I know! Everyone hates the mods - with their over-inflated egos and unaccountable practices and their capricious banning of innocuous subjects.
But life without the mods means a village where rioters run rampant.
Not everyone has the same level of mobility that you do.
Incidentally, do you get off your arse to change the volume on your TV?
The question is always going to be “who are you defending against?”
If the CIA/FBI/MI5/KGB etc want in to your data, they’ll probably find a way. If it is just stolen, then the phone’s built in protection is going to stop anyone from brute forcing it.
But your biggest weakness is yourself. Do you really want to type in a 8 digit pin every time? No. So you’ll leave it unlocked for longer - which gives a theif more time to fiddle with it.
The Pi is great - but try to stick to doing one thing at a time with it. Multiple tabs, background music, and live streaming simultaneously is going to make it feel very slow.
Pi OS is probably the simplest - unless you want to spend those two weeks configuring everything 😀
Not that I know of. And I don’t think a Lemmy user can block (for example) a Mastodon user.
