  • Believing in the existence of God and believing God is a being that deserves our worship are 2 different things.

    Also depends on which god and which denomination. If there are gods, it’s more likely than not that there are more than one. In Christianity, God makes a big deal of “not worshipping other gods before me” so I’m just saying. What’s considered a God anyway? Do extraterrestrial intelligent life with better technology than us count?









  • I’ve tried to use esp 32 cameras before. First issue, there are no esp32 cameras that either don’t have ir filters or have ir filters that can be removed. I finally found an Amazon seller that doesn’t glue the camera lenses together very thoroughly and once you break them open, the ir filter is in a place that can be removed if you’re patient enough with an exacto knife.

    The other major issue is that esp 32s generate so much heat they eventually melt everything I put them in. You can’t leave them naked because even if it doesn’t rain, they still stop working after only a few days of being outside.

    I really hope someone else has figured out a better way to use esp 32 cameras for home security because the only other choices are a) those chinese ones that don’t give you control over the rtsp stream (you can only use their spyware infested smartphone app) or b) those absurdly overpriced ones that don’t even come with night vision most of the time.








  • The thing is that Boost was a really good 3rd party reddit app. It was very stable and had a lot of attention to detail and quality of life things you don’t notice until it’s gone.

    If Boost really is going to come to Lemmy and be in the same or similar level of quality as it was on reddit, it’s going to be awesome.



  • Yeah why the fuck is that? VSCode has no business being as good as it is. It’s developed by Microsoft, after all. Are they planning to take it away from us and charge money for it in a few years? Why does it work on Linux so easily? Is it a government conspiracy to fill our brains with subliminal messages somehow? Wtf is the catch?

    My best educated guess is that’s it’s a ploy of some kind. If Microsoft makes a free code editor that’s really good, maybe no one will make a free open source one that’s as good so that they will have control over the 1 most viable code editor? There are other things similar to VSCode but they cost money and are too big a pain to pirate because VSCode is better than them anyway.
