I used to be an automation engineer. The specific plant that had these evacuation instructions processes petrochemical products.

That’s a skill issue?

You flow as you flow :-) Happy cruising!

I have to mention I have a reverse camera with guidance lines. I can back into a parking spot nearly as fast and swift as I do forward parking.

How? If you’re not backing into your spot when parking, you’ll be backing out when leaving the spot.

This is the moment where a kind product designer should step up and design you a Mad Max type of mask. People are watching you so you’d better give them something to watch ;-) Sorry, no advice about existing masks. Good luck!

Robin Hood is a thief. You’re not a bad person. I get it. I have enough money and sometimes I have the urge to steal. It would be terrible to get caught because I have an exemplary function at work, to my children, in my surroundings… You have to consider whether it’s worth it. The fact that you ask the question is a good thing.

What’s wrong with reverse parking?

• Backwards parking is actually easier because your front wheels turn.
• It’s better for your future self. Backing out of a parking spot with reduced visibility is harder and can be dangerous.
• Overall safety. I used to work in a company where reverse parking was mandatory because in case of an emergency the parking lot could be evacuated faster.
• Better visibility when leaving the parking spot is safer for other traffic participants

I’m puzzled. Is this not common in English? We use them all the time in Dutch.

I know they would follow Fortnite.

Mastodon isn’t chat. Their Messenger chat is manned with people that answer your questions.

I was searching for the title of that movie a while ago. Thanks.

Discoverability is the issue. It is one of the main reasons Signal sticks with phone numbers.

Everyone in my contact list is a potential Signal contact. That’s useful. Chat is still private.

If I want secret chats, I use Simplex.

Also in the EU?

There’s an abundance of community resources on Raspberry pi so that helps.

For example: https://www.tomshardware.com/raspberry-pi

On every platform there’s a community that is eager to help you with any questions you have.

It’s not hard but be prepared to start over when your setup isn’t turning out how you want it. And that’s ok. When you break it, you just reinstall your stuff and start over. Wat helped me a lot is organising my resources by bookmarking them.

Networking is something that is overlooked in most tutorials. http://192.168.0.1/ (or some other iterations) will be something you need know by heart :-)

After a while you’ll be running all kind of servers, virtual machines, apps,… I still remember the kick I got from logging into my first selfhosted service. It’s magical.

You’ll see your setup grow after a while but don’t spend too much before you really know what you want to do. I bought a second hand mini pc with decent specs for 100 euros after 6 months and my playroom has extended tremendously.

You’ll get tempted to buy a NAS and that’s a rabbit hole on its own. But again. Take your time.

Good luck!

Mass transit is necessary here because the city has an old layout not designed for cars and so it wouldn’t be able to function if everyone had to drive.

Cities shouldn’t be designed for cars. They should be designed for people. I get it. They’ve added a tax and that’s inconvenient. I agree.

I live in a European city with a medieval layout. I’m happy they started banning cars. Our city is more liveable without than with cars.

Last year my wife gifted me a Raspberry pi 4 for Christmas. I had no programming background but there are ample resources to find on YouTube etc to help you get started.

Now, one year later I’m self hosting some services on ly own domain, have built a streaming box and have automated my house with home assistant.

So, if you’re up for it: https://tutorials-raspberrypi.com/how-to-build-your-own-raspberry-pi-android-box/

I would suggest a Raspberry pi 5 if your SSD doesn’t have it’s own power source.

Ah yes, the privacy related indigenous tours of Lisbon. I’ll be selfhosting them.

I never knew. Wild story.

Apparently:

• 19 UN member states recognize Taiwan (Republic of China) as an independent country
• 57 countries recognise the Taiwanese government as representative of the Chinese people but not as an independent entity
• The holy seat (Vatican city) recognizes them as a sovereign state
• There are 10countries that don’t recognize China nor Taiwan
• Vatican city was the first country to give recognition (1942)

This is all new to me.
