I’ve used the stainless steel mesh from the bottom of fine mesh kitchen strainers (the measuring-cup sized ones). Got them from the dollar store and only had to cut them down a little bit. It’s not bulk stock, but they’re cheap and plentiful. Sadly comes with plastic waste unless you have a use for the leftover part. Luckily I only needed one.

Just updated again. Looks like she did come back for him. At least, I’m assuming she did. They normally don’t wander off from where their mom stashes them.

Not yet.

Got about 30 minutes of shade left in that spot, and about an hour before I have to let the dogs out. I’m afraid I may have to move him.

Luckily, I think it’s the same one that I usually see in the back yard, so I can prob move him there without momma having too much trouble finding him. Gonna wear gloves and try to minimize the amount of my scent that may get transferred.

Took all of my restraint not to boop it. lol.

There are. The problem is getting them off their asses and out to vote.

Well, this American sure does and will be voting in November. Suggest everyone does the same.

One thing to remember is they didn’t have notes, earpieces or teleprompters.

Trump just straight up rambled out a stream of bullshit, lies, and projection every time he had the mic. Biden was not only answering factually, but also had to counter bullshit. They were on the same stage but playing two completely different games.

And when the debate is analyzed down to “who was more truthful?”, Biden slightly flubbing a fact/figure will be treated near equally to Trump straight up spewing out bullshit.

If I didn’t hear the fire alarm, I certainly won’t hear your call.

Now that you mention it, that does sound right.

Glad to hear she’s doing well and having fun again.

Lol, yup.

Normally, you’d be right on the money. It’s always some former congressperson/staffer dishing out all the illegal things they saw. Except instead of reporting it to the authorities, they want you to buy their book and read about it.

To be fair / credit where it’s due, he was vocally anti-Trump when he was still holding office. He and Cheney both, and they were ostracized for it.

I read a few years ago she had some health issues. Hope she’s doing well. Her videos/projects are always fun. From the random, food throwing robots to Truckla (which was legit impressive).

Phone calls also assume the person on the other end wants to be bothered. If you choose to not answer, you’re treated like the a-hole and are expected to explain why (“I’ve been trying to call you. Why haven’t you picked up?”)

To quote Stephen Fry:

“A telephone is a fantastically rude thing. I mean, it’s like going ‘speak to me now! Speak to me now! Speak to me now!’. If you went to someone’s office and banged on their desk and said, ‘I will make a noise until you speak to me’ it would be considered unbelievably rude.”

Can’t speak for OP, but the Vault software itself is fine. It’s their recent change in licensing that has a lot of people upset and looking for alternatives:

https://www.hashicorp.com/blog/hashicorp-adopts-business-source-license

That is why today we are announcing that HashiCorp is changing its source code license from Mozilla Public License v2.0 (MPL 2.0) to the Business Source License (BSL, also known as BUSL) v1.1 on all future releases of HashiCorp products. HashiCorp APIs, SDKs, and almost all other libraries will remain MPL 2.0.

BSL 1.1 is a source-available license that allows copying, modification, redistribution, non-commercial use, and commercial use under specific conditions. With this change we are following a path similar to other companies in recent years.

Have they actually proven this is a good idea, or is this a “so preoccupied with whether or not they could” scenario?

It’s businesses “throwing AI into stuff”, so I’m going to say it’s a safe bet it’s the latter.

Yep, 100%.

In college, I worked at a call center for one of the worst Banks of America (oops, meant banks in America 😉). Can confirm that, and I dealt with a LOT of angry customers.

This is giving me Black Mirror vibes. Like when that lady’s consciousness got put into a teddy bear, and she only had two ways to express herself:

• Monkey wants a hug
• Monkey loves you

I get that you shouldn’t go off on customer service reps (the reason you’re angry is never their fault), but filtering out the emotion/intonation in your voice is a bridge too far.

If you don’t get any other answers:

I run OpenWRT on my router (x86 hardware), and have Adguard Home and Wireguard installed on it.

AdGuard has its own webUI, and Wireguard peers can be managed through LuCI in OpenWRT. It also supports OpenVPN as well as other VPN types.

So you could run a VM with OpenWRT and get all that.

These are the two I’m sub’d to:

!dogs@lemmy.world but it’s mostly just pictures of dogs / eye bleach

Keeping an eye on this post to see if any other good ones get posted.
