@freemo @mel please ask around... We unemployed people could use all the help we can get.

Know anyone who could use Minnie's skills and services to the benefit of both?

Breasts are a sexual body part, if they're large enough... ;)

@freemo

To get laid, you're probably correct. To have a long-term live-in situation, not so much.

@freemo

Maybe women are better at putting up with men's shit than men are at putting up with women's shit?

I mean, both of those genders (and I'm NOT saying those are the only two) have shit to put up with... just I believe that, in general, women are better at putting up with it than men are.

@freemo

The real reason why the USA hasn't switched to Metric is because, collectively, we've got a foot fetish.

You're forgetting that there are men who are "hobosexuals".. meaning they shack up because they are homeless. These men are usually "desirable" or have something a woman wants, so he moves in until he ticks her off, then he finds another one.

Most homeless men, from what I've been able to gather, are either in their teens, or old enough that there's nothing a woman would want from them...

There also exist "Battered Women Shelters" for lack of a better term coming to mind at the moment, which house women who have run away from abusive relationships - these women aren't usually counted among the homeless.

There is also the trans community which I'm not certain gets correctly counted by narrow-minded government employees.

Yes, on the surface, it appears there are more homeless women than men... I believe those numbers are skewed because of errors in data collection, attitude, and realities.

Also, remember that there are "predatory" women who are happy to put up with less than good-for-them men in order to have a home in which to live - and men who either don't know they're doing this, or don't care. (not saying this is all women, just that those women exist.)

@freemo Here, that's all that's required.

also, the HTTP server in the "Ethernet" library can only handle 8 connections at once, anyway... Considering it's just me and the wife, and this is a "for my use" project...

I was just looking for a more elegant way of doing the HTML part of it.

The reload forces the "root" URL to pull the query off the URL so that the light doesn't constantly flip on and off with every reload.

I don't want to use Java or require (allow?) the arduino to go outside of the LAN to pick up libraries from anything... Looking for a simple, self-contained, stable solution.

I added the reload so that I could have a state written to the HTML.. Light is on/off sort of thing. I couldn't think of a better way to do it.

I will be adding a sensor (eventually) to determine if the door is up or down, but that's down the road.

So, that's the reason for my query.. is there a more elegant way to handle the "status" on the webpage that doesn't require a reload to a forced blank URL?

@freemo

Fair enough.

This is Arduino "C" code...not Python... ;)

@freemo
Oh? I had my phone and a computer connected simultaneously and both were able to control the switches...

at the same time.

What am I missing?

@freemo Any advice here? Is there a better way to code these things?

@feld

Not really... Just download the lists, cd to /opt/fediblockwhatever/
then execute
grep -R <instanceURLwithoutTheBraces> *

It'll tell you what files your instance shows up in.

What can be done to get this "detroit riot city" instance defederated posthaste? This doesn't represent Detroit in any way that I know of, and certainly doesn't belong with the civilized federation.

One only has to look at the flashy gif at the top of their landing page to understand what's going on.

@jerry

Is there someplace where such blocklists can be viewed/downloaded for import?

Thanks.

Isn't the bottle opener also on the flatblade screwdriver? Same tool. Neener.
Heh, no not really, and you're right, I used to use that bottle opener ALL THE FRIGGIN TIME.

@nuintari That assessment tracks.. but, if you have no other tools available, a Swiss Army Knife is a lifesaver.

@atomicpoet @sub_o
Per the announcement you re-tooted, there will be analytics, which means someone is going to be compiling that data somewhere, without the consent of anyone on Mastodon or the greater Fediverse,.
This is as much a search engine as Google is, from the description and from what I've read so far.
Mastodon users are about to be indexed, categorized, and their data stored without their consent
The current hashtag search works. We don't need an external database with metrics...

@atomicpoet I Want none of this on Mastodon. If I want someone to tell me what I should be paying attention to, or what I should be afraid of, I'll talk to my wife, or turn on CNN or FOX news (the latter for the lulz, of course).
I enjoy being able to determine what I see here, as opposed to the crap-crammed-down-my-throat algorithms of other social media outlets.
Why WHY WHY would anyone want to turn Mastodon into Twitter?
