And we do that by promoting progressives that will actually make people want to vote.

If congress doesn't impeach and remove, I don't see any other way this shit will end.

Probably only as an indicator of public will. But who knows.

I put together a few hack scripts to make a CSV for mailing congress.

They should get your words.

Skipping the first amendment would be making some speech illegal. With like a law and courts. They are also skipping the 5th, which would be due process.

Are there any programmable digital picture frames? (lem.trashbrain.org)
 

Not sure where I ask, I figure here might be good.

I want a digital picture frame that has some sort of API to update. I'm not picky on what as long as I can add and remove content from code. Like an actual Dropbox App integration would be fine too, where whatever files I put in a folder automatically get added to the rotation. Most of them I've seen are along the lines of "login to this terrible web site to manage pictures" or "pull out SD card or plug computer to frame to update".

I don't even mind hosting, like if I give a URL that returns a list of other images to rotate through or something. Fine, that works.

I am aware I could do this with a Pi and any LCD, but I would like a single hardware unit that someone else makes pretty.

What things really helped you toget better at programming? in c/programming@programming.dev
[–] fireduck@lem.trashbrain.org 2 points 2 years ago

Competitions. In college I did the ACM ICPC and trained hard with my schools programming team.

These days I do advent of code, which will start on Dec 1. But you can go fo previous years now. It is great.

Correct use of pot handle? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] fireduck@lem.trashbrain.org 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think the picture is unclear somehow, the spoon is over the pot so it isn't shifting the center of mass outward.

People seem to expect a lot of wild action over an active stovetop. That hasn't so much been my experience....I mean after college.

That is the best compliment I've gotten in a while.

Why would anything be swinging over a hot stove?

Correct use of pot handle? (lem.trashbrain.org)
 

I think the hole in the pot handle works great as a place to set the spoon. My friend thinks this should be illegal.

I would absolutely take that trade-off. I don't need a lot of range.

Little computers? Who do people like? (lem.trashbrain.org)
 

I have two systems that I need to replace. One is my backup server, which runs FreeBSD and uses some USB attached drives. Really that could be done with anything that is like a Pi, except amd64/x86.

The other is my pfSense router. It is having some hardware issue, which isn't surprising, I pulled parts out of my scrap pile to make it. For that, I need something that can take an pcie card for my dual 10g network card. Does anyone have any ITX or smallish machines they like? Actual smallness doesn't matter so much as not being expensive.

How do people go about finding things these days? I used to use newegg, but mostly now it seems to be a trap of accidentally ordering parts from the moon. Amazon is fine if you know exactly what you want already. Pcpartspicker works well, if you are building a full system from parts (which I do for bigger machines) but I don't know where to get barebones boxes.

The big ship got pulled away in a vortex so was nearly out of fuel. It ran to the nearest star and waited for the fast shuttle to meet it there and bring it more.

If anyone sees this, the answer is probably yes. I can't tell if this thing is working.
