Awesome. Thanks for the links and your effort.

Not trying to be argumentative, but I've seen this stat of there being more empty houses than homeless people thrown around a few times with different numbers and no sources given. Do you have a source for those numbers?

I'm out of the loop. Any examples of this?

Hair Conditioner + Hydrogen peroxide: could potentially be used to lighten hair, but getting the concentrations right without ruining your hair and possibly damaging skin would be tough. Don't do it.

Hair Conditioner + Lye: Lye is a highly caustic chemical and can cause severe chemical burns...putting it in hair conditioner serves no purpose other than to possibly create a scenario where someone thinks it's a good idea to put it on their skin/scalp. Not a good idea. Don't do it.

Toothpaste + Bleach. If you can't see why this is a bad idea, you should give it a shot. I'll have your Darwin award waiting for you. Don't do it.

Hmm can't seem to load the archive site so haven't read the whole thing. Anyone know details of how this works? Are we all fucked if we have a phone or is staying off social media and hardening security with something like Graphene OS enough to keep you out of their system?

What is the situation with regards to cheaters like in this game?

[–] Arondeus@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 months ago

Yeah. Same sentiment here. Zero regrets about installing Graphene on my Pixel 7. Installatiun process wasnt even that difficult.

Monero. No question.

Everything around them is built for cars. When that's the case, and you have no car (are underage to drive) you essentially have no freedom because you can't go anywhere or do anything. Bikes are great, they are also exhausting and impractical to cover the distances that cars can. An e-scooter can get you there faster than a bike and without being exhausted. I think it gives these kids a taste of freedom and independence that they crave.

We're human. Ignore me. I'm just an asshole. Thanks for putting in the effort to post some good info. 👍

The writings on the wall I guess?

I'm still trying to recover emotionally from "bystandards".

 

I'm looking for suggestions for programs to help manage an archive of family photos and video clips. I have a large family and a few photographers can pump out a lot of photos at family events. I've sorta become the unofficial archivist of the family as I have a lot of photos and videos myself and I've become responsible for my parent's collection as well as they are not very tech savvy.

I'm kinda distrustful of cloud storage in general so I'm kinda looking to avoid using something like Google photos or even Proton Drive. I'd also like to try and stick to open source if I can. At this point I don't think my ideal program exists but I'm going to describe it and see how close we could get. Sorry if the following sounds too much like fantasy.

Ideally I'd like a program that could synchronize a media collection across the internet to 3 or 4 different households. For one thing so that there is redundancy if something bad like a fire happens so nothing is lost, and for another thing so that those households have local access to the archive. I'm hoping I wouldn't be needing any crazy hardware for this. Something like a raspberry pie with an attached spindle Drive would be acceptable, both for low power use and small physical footprint in the houses of family members I would be asking to host these.

Ideally some program could be used to interact with the archive locally and do things like add new media, edit metadata of media that's already in the archive or just view things.

That's it, Lemmy know what you guys think!
