Oh no....... I am almost 40 and I have been pronouncing it "go-dot" this entire time. WHY IS LANGUAGE LIKE THIS

Used to play with lizards like this or very similar. They could turn green or brown as a kind of camouflage and their tails came off if you ever tried to grab them by it. Also they'd poo or pee on you or something when you caught them. Down in Louisiana, don't know if I'm misremembering but this picture looks exactly like them. Thanks for sharing @alekwithak@lemmy.world, brought me some nice memories!

This is a nice way of putting it

I certainly did not get it until you said the thing

I know this won't fix everything but I also think it's a good idea. First past the post contributes to problems we have now. Check it out people!

Thanks for posting this, it's important people catch more than just the headline. This is clearly another example of proton delivering on their promise. Fucking headlines gonna headline.

I know it's not really gonna change anything but it's really nice to hear that someone said it to those fucks.

I'm sorry you feel that way. It sounds like you had some really shitty people in your life and I hope you find some better ones. 😔

Lol, been watching these emails for work for many years now and noted the weird number of CVEs too. I'd love more context if anyone knows. Something specific get cleaned up in the kernel that had a big impact?

When our first child arrived I had a cheap IP cam lying around that I could flash with something I trusted and integrate into my other stuff (Homeassistant in this case). The camera didn't really support a wired connection, only 2.4 wifi. This has probably been my single complaint about the setup generally. We live in a somewhat dense neighborhood and the surrounding 2.4GHz noise affects the stream quality, making it somewhat less reliable.

I would say that if reliability and complexity are your biggest concerns go with one of the decent baby monitors. Very reliable, zero complexity. We didn't find the reliability to be an issue in practice and I didn't mind the complexity. I would say that if you go the IP cam route, do your best to go wired or at least 5GHz.
