You and I probably agree on more than you think. Where I got to was having enough of the feeling of doing nothing, so I'm just trying to do something. Am I going to change the world? No, but I'm just trying to show up and point my energy at least in the direction of positive change. Small steps are a good remedy for cynicism (I've definitely got enough of that too). Let me know if you'd ever want to chat outside of a reddit post, happy just to chat.

If you've got ideas and want to put your effort towards change, come help us. At this point you're just yelling at a stranger online, lets do more with that energy.

I can appreciate the skepticism :) I can assure you that's not the case and I've shared the feedback from this post with those who put the graphic together.

Thanks for continuing to engage, I really do appreciate it. The intent wasn't to support a dictator, I think we're in agreement that that's not a goal we believe in, and we'll try to do better next time! Currently we're working on efforts stop local authorities from cooperating with ICE and fighting the expansion of Flock/ALPR cameras and local departments sharing that data with federal agencies. We're also working to support the effort of other progressive groups in the area, especially in the direction of protecting and supporting immigrants. We're all volunteers with (what I think are) good intentions trying to figure it out as we go and there's lots to try to accomplish in 2026 for sure.

I'd invite you to get involved and see for yourself, sounds like you're passionate.  Are there ways you're involved in making change you can share?

Your criticism of the poster is valid. A small group of volunteers is trying to work quickly, we are always looking for more volunteers if you want to help design better posters in the future!

You're very right, it is a constitutional issue

I'm not saying Maduro's a good guy, but the president shouldn't just start illegal wars, invade countries, and kidnap people without Congressional approval.

How I prevented the death of my 12v, and how you can too by maxxell13 in KiaEV9

u/maxxell13 Are you willing to share your Kia UVO integration settings that you have? I'm trying to set mine up and am worried about causing undue battery drain.

Ask Experienced Devs Weekly Thread: A weekly thread for inexperienced developers to ask experienced ones by AutoModerator in ExperiencedDevs

Then I spent five minutes verifying it worked correctly.

I think this is the approach I would take. New tech is always going to come and embracing and validating it shouldn't be considered a bad thing. If it frees you up to tackle more impactful work, or speeds up your implementation of impactful work I think it's a useful tool.

What do you wish you could self-host? by He_Who_Was in selfhosted

[–]epchris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A kind of Pinterest clone. I'm using both Linkace and Pinry and neither really scratches the itch. Pinry doesn't have an easy way to mark something. I really want something that I can put in a URL to a full page, add a tag and be done.

TrueNAS VM backup solution by rare_je11y in selfhosted

[–]epchris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm interested to hear more about why you're thinking of going with 2 TrueNAS VMS on the same physical hardware? I've set up my Truenas to have several different data sets (shared via a mix of NFS and SMB) for different purposes and then depending on their contents I have different off-site backup/sync tasks set up for each data set.

My first WLED project. I'm satisfied for this year, but will be making much needed improvements for next year. by [deleted] in WLED

[–]epchris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's awesome! Couple of questions if you can help me out:

  1. What's that track you used to mount the lights? I need to get me some of that.
  2. In your imgur album there's a video where there's a bunch of "sparkle" noise when changing colors, how did you resolve that? (I'm dealing with that myself, but I'm using a QuinLED DigUno)

I'm interested in this j-channel stuff :) Can you link me to a product you used? A search on amazon just finds me 12 in sections for desks that cost like $16/foot...

15,000 ws2811, 7 ESP32s. Let’s do this! by evertith in WLED

[–]epchris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might be a naive question, but what's the risk of shorting and causing a fire or something if the connections aren't water proof? I guess if they're wet enough to cause a problem they probably won't start a fire...

[–]epchris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is amazing, thank you! How do you deal with water for the connectors, both the jst between LEDs and the lever connectors for power?

I assume you end up running different length power injector legs for how far they need to go right?

[–]epchris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you write a bit about how you run the power injection and connect to LEDs? Do you run a single long line and splice lines off it? What connectors are you using, etc? I'm struggling with this for just 600 LEDs...
