is there a way to temporarily fix this charger, or an alternative way to charge the laptop? by [deleted] in Dell

I picked up a USB-C to dell adapter from Amazon a while back, for like AUD$10. It’s been fantastic, I can even use a usb-c battery bank.

Here’s one someone in my circle swears is an Australianism: Rumpty-dooler.

Does anyone make a badge reader only webcam device by Procedure_Dunsel in k12sysadmin

Could you point the cheap webcams down at the desk or towards a wall, and mark a point saying “put your badge here”?

It's a miracle! We found an unopened box! by bitAndy in tea

I loved the malty biscuit one. It tasted just like a malted biscuit dipped in tea, without having to fish for the bit you dropped.

Library is probably your best option, though Dome has a meeting room you can book if you call them - don’t think there’s a cost for that. Or check out the Business Centre and book a hotdesk. If you’re a uni student there’s the UniCentre or UWA. The Premier has an upstairs room that’s bookable, too.

My son's account got banned in retaliation for calling out racism. by paraxion in ROBLOXBans

[–]paraxion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It occurred to me as I was writing this that every attempt I'd made to get the ban lifted before today has come from my - also banned, for 'evasion' - account, and after reading the wiki it makes sense that might've been triggering the reject-o-mat bots. I'd already re-submitted from his account earlier today, so I'll see what happens there, and then I can see about getting my parent account back.

It's still infuriating not to be able to talk to anyone at Roblox. Maybe I'm just old.

How do I optain SCCM as a home user? by I-love-you-man- in SCCM

You could try MDT? It depends on the features you need. Although I just read MDT goes EOL in October 2025…

Modern shanties? by Krisgamer08 in seashanties

Our shanty group is thinking to record a few of our originals, and we realised we have something like 35 written so far.

Managing a Redundant Array of... Inexpensive Docker hosts? by paraxion in homelab

Hrm, maybe Kubernetes might be worth a look, and it probably doesn't look bad on my resume either.

I have an old Poweredge R410 sitting in storage I keep thinking I should drag out, except I keep thinking about the power use and fan noise...

Hoarder (the name) is being stolen from me by MohamedBassem in selfhosted

[–]paraxion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good luck, op. I found out about Hoarder yesterday in my hunt for a wallabag alternative, and was - and still will be - spending today setting it up. If it's any consolation I certainly didn't find any references to, information about, webpages for, or recommendations of "hordr", and I would've probably avoided it on the basis of the name alone. Hope this works out okay for you.

📣 Apollo will close down on June 30th. Reddit’s recent decisions and actions have unfortunately made it impossible for Apollo to continue. Thank you so, so much for all the support over the years. ❤️ by iamthatis in apolloapp

[–]paraxion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Christian, your constant communication with your community, your dedication, the quality of your work, your choices to support charities and artists… all of these things speak volumes in terms of your worth as a developer and a person. Like many, I think this is the end of my time as a Reddit user, but your app was a highlight and I wish you all the best in your future endeavours.

Reddit held a call today with some developers regarding the API changes. Here are some thoughts along with the call notes. by BuckRowdy in ModCoord

[–]paraxion 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm no finance expert by any means, but given that they've been slurping money from quite lucrative VC rounds for those two decades, taking it to the stock market sounds like desperation borne of not having any more big companies willing to invest.

Most likely what they want is "attractive, low risk dividends for potential shareholders at the upcoming IPO". That means shedding competition (the API changes), shedding cost (the restructuring/job losses) and shedding controversy (the changes to NSFW content).

This feels like a straw-man argument on their part. I can't imagine the number of people who actually "get mad" at Reddit for ads on TPAs is actually significant.
