In my area Xfinity cable has decent upload now, though it still trails fiber. Doing a speed test just now I get 2 gigabit down and 300 megabit up and I pay $85/month with a five year price lock. This is a relatively recent phenomenon so worth checking out if you can get a similar package. Prior to this I was getting 25-32 megabit.

I’ve never made my friends or family pay, but prior to getting decent upload bandwidth I did cap remote streams / concurrent transcodes and let people duke it out fist come first serve. Mostly it was fine. I’ve given maybe 15 people access, but only a few are regularly active.

I also keep a small offsite server at a family members house that splits some of my user base and serves as an offsite backup.

and I haven’t died from it.

Yet.

Results inconclusive.

No. No, man. Shit no, man! I believe you’d get your ass raided by ice doin’ something like that, man.

I really like having a quick and tactile way to get the camera up and taking pictures. I had android phones back in the day that did this with a combination of the power button double tap to launch and volume buttons to snap pictures, the latter I know iOS does as well.

I do find the swipe and soft touch features of the camera control to be unintuitive. It took me a while to even realize I could change the swipe gesture to control zoom instead of the default color/tone setting which I almost never want to change. Seriously don’t understand why zoom wasn’t the default.

I actually like and use the camera button, but maybe I’m in the minority.

About 26 miles from the hospital I was born in, or 35 miles from my family’s home at the time. I haven’t gone far, but each move has a been a little bit further.

Who knows, by the time I die maybe I’ll live outside the local metro area!

Many years technically, but I doubt the stability of… well, everything, too much to say that with much conviction.

@[email protected] do you have any insight? Apologies if this is poor etiquette 😅

I’ve noticed link images are very pixelated when browsing piefed (piefed.social specifically) but then same links look fine when browsing lemmy. I’m guessing this is a piefed side problem (or maybe an instance configuration choice?).

I built a script that runs on a raspberry pi with an nfc reader and speakers. It’s setup with nfc cards to play music for my kids. they don’t use it as much as they used to but it’s still going strong after four years!

Agreed. I’m not advocating for it, but subtle surgery with a reasonably skilled practitioner often flies under the radar if you didn’t know the person. The most common things like nose jobs and face lifts are almost routine at this point.

It’s not for me, but there is a confirmation bias around plastic surgery where bad results are highly visible and good results are almost invisible.

I do, but not much these days. I’ve got kids and a career with meh work life balance. Sleep, exercise, and hobbies all compete for the remainder.

On a good weekend I can get a couple of hours in though.
