Thanks for the info, a healthy amount of real life awaits then. :)
I knew it was running on solar energy and old hardware so I guessed something like this had happened.
If you need fail-over to awaken a backup system when the primary fails, things can be designed. :)
Ma katsun nende kohta samuti õhtul lugeda.
Tead sa öelda, mis on PieFed-i põhilised eripärad Lemmy kõrval?
Endal on mul algusest peale kaks Fediverse'i kontot. Teine identiteet on "perestroika@slrpnk.net". Seal ma siis modereerin kogukondasid "offgrid", "science" ja "perestroika-pw". Esimesed 2 on madala liiklusega, kolmandas ei toimu mõhkugi. Muid kogukondi on serveris sadakond. Adminid on mõistlikud inimesed.
Server on pigem säästuässa haldusega, käib sagedamini maas kui muud. Hetkel on vist kah jälle maas, või olen ise hetkel võrgus, kust sinna välja ei ulatu. :)
Kui miskipärast vajalikuks osutub, võib-olla saaksin sinna kõrvale avada ka kanali "eesti", aga seda pärast teiste moderaatoritega nõu pidamist - et kas me tahame võtta pardale keskkonda, mille nimi kattub mingi kultuuriruumi / maa nimega ja milles hakatakse valdavalt rääkima keeles, mida serveri adminid ei mõista. (See tähendaks ju, et kui kunagi tekib läbula, siis adminitel on raske modereerida.)
Kuna siin ei olnud kogukonnal üldse mingit halduskoormust (polnud ühtegi moderaatorit ja läbu ei puhkenud), siis ma esialgu ei näe, et "eesti" kogukond Lemmy võrgus hetkel olulist halduskoormust põhjustaks.
Aga jah, hetkel kõhklen ja ei torma midagi tegema.
it was also unclear he has in fact paid any taxes to the Russian government
Seems like a Captain Obvious moment. You work somewhere, your employer pays taxes to the government without even asking if you like it. I'm fully certain that even hardcore anarchist partisans who burn shit at night, pay taxes to the RF government on their day job - to look more like a normal citizen.
Perhaps more importantly, Netanyahu also exchanged the director of Shin Bet, as if anticipating that some day, that guy might get a warrant to arrest a certain person accused of war crimes.
To make it short and get to the point, Israel is also risking their constitutional order by letting Netanyahu run wild. He might decide not to leave at some point.
1.8.1 is sufficiently infectious and will attempt to self-install on you, functionality however is the same, it does the same stuff as Omicron did
In our modern times, Ea-Nasir still has some bars of aluminum to sell you. Quite several, in fact. :)
Saudi Arabia needs to run out of money and get into an "all hands needed" situation to change (at which point they will surely discover that half of hands belong to women).
The king needs to lose his ability to bribe people to shut up.
Everyone can help this a little by transitioning off oil, gas and other petrochemical products, not letting this country acquire advanced technology, and generally not cooperating with them.
You just missed my point about the 1.6MP elephant in the room.
For your information, a global shutter sensor is not required in that scenario.
A global shutter is advisable if you want to get detailed video of a fast moving object that fills a large percentage of the frame, without distorting the shape of the moving object. With rolling shutter, you still see, but get a distorted (elongated, stepped) moving object.
It follows that you don't need global shutter, and you don't care about autofocus. Merely using fast exposure and having a sensitive sensor + big lens (enabling you to use fast exposure) it will be sufficient.
You also need luck, of course. I think the photographer who snapped that shot had a considerable amount of luck. They weren't fumbling on their bag for a better X or Y. They were already taking a photo, most likely. Things just happened at the right time for them.
As for practicality of modular and DIY equipment, yes, it may not be everyone's preference.
What makes you think OP is willing to deal with these?
I'm not interested in whether the OP is even interested in open architecture or DIY. I'm pointing out that alternatives exist, and they are decent alternatives.
Yeah, that absolutely can replace the gear that captured the photo of the bullet whizzing by Trump and won the Pulitzer prize.
Capturing a photo of a bullet that's been slowing down for 300 meters is not a great technical feat. Try to buy a ballistics camera from Canon, see how much you end up paying (if they agree to sell).
P.S. To my recollection, one inch and 3/4 inch sensors are available for Pi. Note: this is experimental, but: https://github.com/will127534/OneInchEye
How to make Saudia Arabia a normal society?
Most importantly: stop using oil and natural gas sooner rather than later.
Reasoning: the king stays in power by paying cops, security officials and prison guards - and paying people to shut up and tolerate the regime. Once the system runs low on money, things may change.
Note: women in Europe made rapid progress at getting civil rights at a time when they were needed to run ammunition factories.
It doesn't have to be a world war - any development that makes it economically unavoidable that women start going to work outside their home, will change the role of women in society.
On social media, putting the burden of blocking on a million users is naive because:
I have once helped others build an anonymous mix network (I2P). I'm also an anarchist. On Lemmy however, support decentralization, defederating from instances that have bad policies or corrupt management, and harsh moderation. Because the operator of a Lemmy instance is fully exposed.
Experience has shown that total freedom is a suitable policy for apps that support 1-to-1 conversations via short text messages. Everything else invites too much abuse. If it's public, it will have rules. If it's totally private, it can have total freedom.
