  • which some equate with murder.

    I’ve never understood that mentality. If we see an animal suffering, we treat them humanely and help them pass to get them out of pain and end their suffering. But with people, you’re forced to hold out to the very end no matter how much pain you’re in or how much you’re suffering.

    If someone is suffering or has a terminal disease and wants to end it all, they should be able to do so in a way that is as painless and comfortable for them as possible.



  • If you think curating what is allowed on a website is fascism, no one should listen to you at all because you clearly are talking about things you don’t understand.

    The world many people seem to be advocating for here doesn’t honestly seem that much different from one led by nazies.

    This is the absolute stupidest take I have ever seen. Read a goddamned book (or, actually understand what Nazis stand for) before you comment on things…

    They just replace jews and gays with other groups of people they don’t like.

    “Censorship and murdering entire classes of people are the same thing”





  • Jumping a turnstile and taking a physical, actually scarce resource is not comparable to duplicating a digital, artificially scarce resource.

    The train requires ongoing maintenance and can only hold a finite amount of people. Taking the train seat for free takes away something from another person. Downloading media does not use any ongoing resources, and does not take anything away from another consumer.

    Comparing the morality of physical goods to digital goods are not really a good comparison specifically because of the artificial scarcity brought on by making something digital to try to make it more expensive doesn’t map to the real scarcity of physical goods.




  • Having gone through your journey about a year ago (complete with coming from Feit lights and plugs), I don’t think you’re going to find an integration that lets you control them (but if you do, please let me know!)

    I use a lot of aquaria sensors (water/temp/presence), sengeled bulbs and outlets, and I think third reality is who makes my motion detectors. I’ve got my office, living room, kitchen/dining room and basement all hooked up with motion or presence activated lights, most of which have scenes that control what light is what color when. Definitely worth investing in equipment that hooks into HA natively, you can hack a lot of stuff together, but it’s so much nicer when things just work.

    I ended up going with a zigbee coordinator from Tubes ZB, as it was one of the better recommended ones, but you can go with a cheaper option if it fits your use case. I needed a network coordinator since my HA is virtual and wanted flexibility in where my stuff lives.







  • And it’s always the people you think it’s going to be.

    The thing is, in my org it’s not; they get people from every team on the reg. One of the senior admins (OS admins, not office admins) on my team has gotten hit because our infosec team is mean and will send out emails from ‘hr’ when he is sending them too. They’ve almost gotten me a couple of times, and I’m basically the liaison to their team from mine.

    My cito was laughing about it the other day because his name gets dragged through the dirt when it’s his 2nd who does shit like send that stuff to new hires an hour after they start day one. Tends to keep people in their toes.
