Just looking for some advice if the idea I have in mind is even feasible. I have 2 light switches in my kitchen, one for some pendant lights, one for some overhead cannister lights. I *hate* the placement of the switches, since the pendant lights which I prefer are far away from the actual doorways into the kitchen. Meanwhile the cannister lights are on the switches near the doors. I'm looking to do some clever "hackery" to make it so the switches by the doors control the pendant lights, if possible, but I don't want to have to rewire things in the walls/ceilings. Is there a good solution to this? I was looking at some Shelly switches, but I'm not sure those solve for the problem I wanna solve. I'm willing to swap out switches or wire in things near the lights, but trying to keep things simple as possible.

Just came here to say that this also affects any applications that use the libwebp library.
That includes many apps that most people don't think of as "browsers".
Electron based applications all use chromium under the hood, and are quite common/prolific these days.

Expect updates to a lot of things in the near future.

Any other E6 fans on here?? I think my fave track so far is *Staten Island Ass Squad* but there's a lot of gems on this one.

I have a TCL and it works just fine without internet.
Honestly, if I bought a TV, brought it home and it refused to function without internet I'd march that thing right back to the store for a refund.

I hope everyone reading this knows that you can just not connect a "Smart" TV to the internet. Leave it as a "dumb" TV.
Get a separate device like a Roku or AppleTV or Amazon Fire or whatever. The garbage hardware that TV manufacturers slap inside a TV so they can advertise its "smart" features will always be inferior to a purpose built external device.
To say nothing of the security implications of having an unpatched probably unsupported IoT device running on your network for years.

Pretty much anything by Electric Six or Clutch. Honorable mentions to Soul Coughing and VNV Nation.
Karma chameleon, you come and go ⋅ Karma police, arrest this ho. ⋅ Karma's a bitch, it gets a little jumpy when you come near.
-- Electric Six, (It Gets a Little) Jumpy
Like Harry Truman dropping bombs out of the air ⋅ Like any self-respecting multi-billionaire ⋅ This is who you are, five dancing teenage boys ⋅ Who sing their way into our hearts ⋅ Backstreet's back, alright
-- Electric Six, Jimmy Carter
Next thing that I did was tap out Morse code ⋅ With a wooden nickel on the receiver of the phone ⋅ Before I could complete it, I was quickly overtaken ⋅ By the angry spirits of Ronald and Nancy Reagan
-- Clutch, X-Ray Visions

But he also discusses why things froth and some of the science behind it. Might be helpful when selecting an alterna-milk?

I have a bunch of Nest Detect (A0028) sensors from the now defunct Google Nest home security system. Anybody know what radio protocol these things use? Zigbee? Z-Wave? some other thing? I have a Z-Wave USB dongle, or I could get a Zigbee one, but I'm not sure if either of them actually communicates with these devices. I hate to throw them away, as they're well designed.

- A good ergonomic office chair.
- A sit/stand desk.
- Heavy duty wire shelves from Costco.
And because I drink coffee and I'm a total klutz...
- Contigo Auto-seal travel mug. These things are practically bomb-proof and prevent spills!
- a stainless steel double-walled french press. Also bomb-proof and retain heat really well.

Just a word of advice about any/all non-cast-iron pans... never take a hot pan and run it under water. It may create a very satisfying blacksmith blast of steam effect, but it almost invariably results in the bottom of the pan warping to be not-quite-flat.

Things I have done with my Pi(s) --
- AirplayPi so I can airplay to my non-Apple speakers.
- OctoPi so I can interact with my 3D printer via the local network.
- Kodi media player
- HomeAssistant hub
- PiHole network-wide adblocker
- I put Tailscale on an older Pi and plugged it in on my parents' network, so I have remote access to help them with their router or whatever.
- RetroPi - classic game emulator. Plays just about everything prior to PS2 generation stuff.

TSA Pre-check.
Yes, it's fucking obnoxious that it exists at all, given the "security theater" of it all, but man... being able to breeze past the super long lines at the airport is such a better experience.

I'm sure this is probably old news for many folks here, but this label has some fantastic compilation albums. Quite literally days and days worth of material.
first album: Terrifyingly Evocative Sets
Oh, my bad, I was thinking of [the Dutch King](https://www.aviation24.be/airlines/air-france-klm-group/klm-royal-dutch-airlines/dutch-king-willem-alexander-as-pilot-on-his-flight-to-norway-for-a-state-visit/).
How things are going with Lemmy in general? - The software is pretty promising. - The network of Lemmy instances is expanding rapidly. - The userbase is exploding even more rapidly. - The number of Lemmy mobile clients is up to 3, that I know of. (Jerboa, Mlem, Memmy) The quirks of navigation takes some getting used to, and I kinda like the UX of Kbin better, but I find more engagement happening from the Lemmy side of things, so I guess I'm sticking here. There doesn't seem to be a way to migrate instances easily (yet?) like with Mastodon. Not sure if that's important, but worth noting.

I'm sure this is a total longshot, given how few folks are likely learning Yiddish on Duolingo, but figured I'd create a community for it anyway. They say if you don't practice the language every day, it'll never stick.
Anyone played around with gpt4all yet? I've been using it a bit, but the results, while impressive for what it is, fall far short of ChatGPT.
