This is /c/upliftingnews. I’ll take what I can get ☺️

I wish them well. It feels good to be reminded that yes, there are still people out there trying to make things better. ❤️

Some pcie cards can add a buuunch more sata ports. There are also some m.2 cards that can do this.

I think of Grenda from Gravity Falls. But she’s still a girl, in the process of figuring out how to be as confident in herself as Alice.

Do you have a stream available? I keep a submerged camera in my indoor pond in my apartment, running as closely to 24/7 as I can on a self-hosted server (using owncast) at https://pond.vkmphotos.com/

Custom firmware based on ESP Home, I assume?

For the auger you only control the time, not the speed?

I love this idea! Seems very safe also in terms of very little could go wrong. So the chooks have a camera so you can keep an eye on them, too?

Spirited debates in bars probably end in fist fights 🙃

NYC Transit Museum! It’s a sleeper but it’s very cool. If you can still get the tickets, the NYC Tenement Museum, which is in an actual tenement from like a hundred years ago.

Find someone who does in person cooking classes for something you’d like to make, and learn it together.

Friday nights my friend hosts this thing at her place Artsclub which I’ve done a few times and it’s fun. I always meet interesting people there, learn about some art history, and I’ve gotten some art that’s good enough that it’s hanging in my apartment lol. Unfortunately the next event is in September. https://www.artsclubstudios.com/east-village-events

New York native fella here. Three days is a short trip, and it’s a very big city. There are plenty of guides out there for the big stuff - pick the things you want from there. If you have some niche interests share them, and maybe some Lemmy people will have ideas.

You can calculate how long a pencil can stand on its tip before falling using quantum physics.

Basically a version of this was on our freshman accelerated physics final, and no one got it right so our professor happily explained it to us the next day.

It was pretty much the same as is described here.

I know. Biggest city in the country but we barely connect with each other on Lemmy. Anywhere in particular other than !nyc@voxpop.social ?

12345? Amazing, I have the same combination on my luggage!

I’ll take good news wherever I can get it. If IKEA can stick the landing it’ll mean a lot for Matter adoption.

Some places (like part of Long Island, naturally) have made it illegal to wear a face mask.

I would love if we disallowed negative and cynical comments, too.

Ooh they had to really contort themselves to avoid referring to tariffs lol.

Hope it helps. There are whole categories of self hosted software I hadn’t thought of before. Maybe I should try some of them! 😁

The last week or so:

Don’t Tell Your Wife About This Game

Depends on how prescriptive you want it to be. Plenty of free form types where you can log all your stuff.

If you’re looking for a program, for strength training I recommend Mark Rippetoe’s Starting Strength. They made an app for it now, too. It’s a one-time purchase, includes an interactive copy of the book, and is ad-free. I’m a fan.

Huzzah!
