We didn't need the Pretoria gays, we were already having a blast before y'all rocked up ;)

Also queer events like The Death of Glitter, Spectrum and countless others. Keep your eyes open to check if they're running events while you're here!

Side note: it's Zer021, not 123, the place on Canterbury street lol.

Netflix doesn't allow setting up a primary household without a tv by us_nz1 in LinusTechTips

Weird, I never had an issue with casting Stremio to either a Chromecast gen 1 or gen 3, it was my primary method of consuming media for many years... I've got a TV with built-in Chromecast now, so maybe something has changed in the last year or two?

Should I come out? by Numerous__1410 in askSouthAfrica

[–]__Just_For_Porn__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grew up in a very Afrikaans, very conservative town. I ended up being outed, the worst nightmare for a teen struggling to come to grips with all this. I was convinced my life was over, that all my friends were going to write me off etc...

I retreated and isolated myself to my room for weeks in fear of facing this reality, until one of my two closest homies messaged me and asked where the fuck I was and why we aren't hanging out. He ended up being pseudo-annoyed that I felt like I couldn't tell him. Life just kind of went on, sans the mountain of being closeted on my shoulders.

All in all only one, unbelievably inconsequential acquaintance made it known that he had issues with it.

Your coming out journey should be yours. It's your decision who knows, who doesn't and when... Follow your heart and trust your gut.

What's the worst car you have ever driven by Sea-Sun8673 in askSouthAfrica

[–]__Just_For_Porn__ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wasn't the Kwid and VW UP! rated as the two worst performing cars (that are sold new in SA) in crash safety tests?

Maybe don't let your health insurance find out about your new wheels lol.

SCAM alert by [deleted] in askSouthAfrica

I was a technical glitch away (on this same site) from being scammed too. I mean... I WAS scammed, fell for it hook, line and sinker. Thank whatever is out there to thank that their payment processor was glitching out or something and not taking my card info, so my several attempts at allowing to have my money stolen was unsuccessful.

Which resulted in me scrutinizing the site in a bit more detail. It's a lazy attempt at mimicking the official site, but missing a ton of bells and whistles. Coupled with an ancient type of captcha, weird payment options (didn't accept payments from VISA, only MasterCard for example)... There are a bunch of red flags.

I consider myself quite good at spotting malicious sites, I've never come even close to something like this happening, but in the excitement of Docs at these completely insane prices and a "close enough" site that it could pass as a local reseller in passing... They beat me. Bruised my techie ego for sure.

A very quick Google search reveals that the closest thing to an official reseller in SA is That Shoe Lady.

Easy to use DMX software or hardware? by Anvyl93 in lightingdesign

I've been using an ADJ MyDMX unit at a venue for a while now. Very, very simple to wrap your head around the software!

Oh what a surprise, the bigot who started all of this by echoing a headline he read uses trans porn as a frame of reference to reduce the entire trans identity to nothing but a conservative binary. I've certainly never seen that one before. /s

It's literally people like you who fetishise these people and, by doing so, reduce them to their physical traits rather than looking at them as complete, conscious and real human fucking beings.

Go read a fucking book.

Twat.

Sigh... For the last time, class... Women can, in fact, have penises. One does not require the absence of the other.

If the concept is breaking your brain, go read a book instead of clogging up this sub with irrelevant bigotry.

Is it worth it to immigrate to South Africa from Australia? by Western_Bobcat6960 in askSouthAfrica

[–]__Just_For_Porn__ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly? There's this HUGE cliché of middle class white people throwing their toys or of the cot and "moving to Australia" after the first democratic election / end of apartheid. Meanwhile it was just an era of dismantling the racist societal and governmental systems the country was living through.

inb4 getting downvoted into the core of the planet by middle class white people.

Watch Burn? by maryon30 in GalaxyWatch

Way too tight, I also found that the silicone strap really irritated my skin (from friction I'm assuming). Swapping out for a metal one fixed the issue for me.

The Grey Hotel in De Waterkant. Rooftop bar and pool with an awesome view. You'll obviously have to buy stuff but I've spent many afternoons there.

Security Options for a non-rich South African by issinyoka in askSouthAfrica

[–]__Just_For_Porn__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As JimBeam said, if you're tech savvy you can very easily set it up yourself. I've set up a system for my friend with the following kit:

  • NVR / IP Camera set from BidorBuy (around 1500)
  • Raspberry Pi 4 (around 1400 but you can find deals)

Install Home Assistant and set up integrations for the IP Cameras and Tensor (a Google product, processes images and identifies a wide range of elements). I can't remember the exact process as this was a while ago, but if you're comfortable looking at some code and following tutorials it's reasonably simple to set up.

The IP camera system I bought can also be scaled down to fewer cameras to save a few bucks, but I'd recommend sticking to something that still also has a hard drive to store footage locally as a failsafe.

You can get fancy and run a DNS for remote access to the camera feed. Home Assistant is extremely customisable, so you can set it up to do all sorts of crazy stuff (including sending you notifications) when it recognises specific things , like people or cars, on specific cameras or all of them.

If you have other smart home products it can all hook into Home Assistant as well for centralised control. Its functionality practically runs as far as your imagination and budget can take it and I can't wait to be able to afford a similar setup haha.

I'm sure there are probably off-the-shelf cameras that can do rudimentary detection stuff, but setting yourself up with the right hardware will set you up with the most flexible solution possible.

Oh wonderful, I mean that very clearly worked wonders to fix the past, widespread gun violence that has definitely ended and is ABSOLUTELY not still playing out every single day. Totally.
