Since the light actually passes through the glasses and just gets refracted, there's no screen in front of your eyes. It's like looking through water, a window or anything else translucent/transparent.

Tungsten. It's just so cool that it's so dense and has such a high melting point. It's also really hard and tough.

Edit: also dragonflies are pretty badass

You could make a religion out of this

I would say: "Don't switch to Linux. Just start with Linux and never use Windows or Mac in the first place"

Don't have to get used to something if you've never used something else.

Pine64 makes a security camera for use with a (included?) Raspberry Pi, iirc

When they have some of the same interests as you, but for different reasons. It provides for excellent conversation when you can talk about something you're both passionate about, but because you're passionate for different reasons, you have different perspectives, and it keeps a topic you're very familiar with very interesting.

Cameo? Who even is that (didn't watch the show)

Woke has got to be one of the most meaningless words out there. So many things are labeled as being "woke". From left-wing to right-wing, from progressive to conservative, it's genuinely insane.

Can you please define what you mean by "woke"? (Funnily enough, most people that regularly use the word "woke" can't even properly explain what it means)

(Not directly answering your question but) if it works like a VPN service then yeah. However, P2P connections might not be routed through TOR in that case. Be careful about that

So, recently I was talking to a friend and somehow we got to talking about religion and stuff. When I complained that religion is often put on a huge pedestal and that it's really just a glorified opinion and should be subject to the same criticism as any other opinion, they told me that that was a really hot take.

According to them, belief and religion is more than just an opinion since it's such a big part of people's lives. I countered that opinions are also big parts of people's lives and personalities. I mean, a huge chunk of your personality is based on your opinions, right?

We agreed to disagree but I kept thinking about it. I don't get why religion shouldn't just be treated like any other opinion just because people tend to cling to it. I get that ~~it~~ people are emotionally invested but that's not just the case with religion but other opinions too. I would appreciate your thoughts to help me understand better, is it really a hot take?

 

I'm sorry if this isn't the place to ask this, I also asked over at !raspberrypi@lemmy.ml.

So what I want to do is this: Two RasPis are at different locations. They're on different networks but have internet access. Pressing a button on one of the Pis turns on an LED over at the other Pi via GPIO. How can I make the communication work? My first thought was Telegram bots as I'm familiar with those for notifications but you can't have Telegram bots communicate with each other, sadly. Is there a good (and secure) solution to this? Preferably using Python code and without continuous costs like server hosting, etc?

Thanks!
