Reason I don't have any cameras is the whole "I want to wholly control my data" thing. There's just no good reason a "cloud" service can't use Client-Side encryption, other than they want to leave open the possibility of selling you out.

This seems like it could be a move like Verizon trying to force adult content off of Tumblr. It feels like there's a non-trivial percentage of content-creators that work thorugh Kickstarter that could be forced to find new platforms. Especially given how nebulous the "safe" term is.

Feels like, in about five years, the internet will only be usable by 5yos.

@ickplant@lemmy.world Gryff definitely thinks he's a lapdog, moreso, even, than his 52lb #pittie predecessor (she was more-insistant on laying next to me; he wants to be on me). Fortunately, the 65lb dog we adopted was 8lbs overweight (so, now that he's in proper trim, he's "only" 57lbs).

Reduces demand for fossil fuels. Reduced fossil fuel demand hurts his, and his sponsors', wallets. You let the rich fail and you're attacking the country ...or something.

Gonna guess that the picture didn't make the jump from your Lemme-based instance to this SharKey-based instance. :(

I've got a 57lb staffy. He'd definitely not get carried around just because he was lazy. :p

@SpacetimeMachine@lemmy.world

Yup, but if you can reduce or remove failure-cases without reducing security or making other sacrifices it makes little sense not to.

A system with local cache (hedging against Internet outages), batteries (hedging against power failures) and strong CSE (hedging against opt-out third-party access to your data) provides a significantly higher quality solution than something like Ring or even standard CCTV.

@mlody@lemmy.world it gets worse: first UNIX system I used (SPARCstations running SunOS 4.3) was spring of 1989. First Linux was 1992 using the 0.98a kernel.

I used to be purely a KSH user …20+ years ago. At that point in time, if you were running a SysV-derived OS (for me, Irix and Solaris), it was hard to beat (and, if you invoked "POSIX shell" was KSH's were the semantics the shell implemented). That said, one of the bigger pain-points of KSH (back then) was that a lot of the default packagings were kind of rubbish: if you wanted to retain your sanity, you'd replace them with a KSH93 implementation. But it's been since my Solaris days ended that I've dicked with KSH (as the Linux implementations were often just BASH running in "compatibility mode" rather than Real KSH™ or PD-KSH).

If you're writing shell scripts, the features in recent BASH implementations make it a pretty solid choice.

Storage reliability/off-siting.

Scenario:

Someone throws something flammable at your front door (maybe even as innocuous as the classic "flaming bag of poo" prank. Nobody's home to notice. Fire burns the house down. Prankster was careless and caught on camera. Do you get footage from a slagged CCTV system?

@mlody@lemmy.world

If you mean computers that "displayed" via printing rather than having a video output, yes: my highschool lab had a couple old ones (they'd actually retired a punchcard system two years before I got to 9th grade)

First computers in our house were various iterations of TRS-80s and a couple of CP/M (or was it MPM) boxes from Altos. As a 7yo, I taught myself 6502 assembler on a (fresh from the factory) Apple ][ my dad had bought (interpreted languages, like BASIC — even the "compiled" BASIC options — were dog slow, back then).

@WanderWisley@lemmy.world

What percentage of "first movie was based on a popular novel; all subsequent ones were purely the product of screen-writers" movie series didn't fall into the "all subsequent installments suck" trap?

I switched to Firefox a few years ago. But, I still have to use Chrome when I want to use the #AWS #FleetManager to RDP into AWS-hosted #Windows systems. FleetManager in Firefox is complete garbage.

If they reboot without local co-op, the entire reason for my friends and I starting to play Halo (on the original XBox) will remain unsated (and new editions left unpurchased).

Heh... How I used to do desktop recording for presentations (before I stumbled upon 🪟-G).

With luck, Canonical doesn't try to poison Debian with AI bits the way Red Hat is Fedora.
