@blaise Ah in Kentucky it's unlikely to be that (more NE US) but there's a few lookalikes there:

@blaise It looks for all the world like a black beetle. https://bugguide.net/node/view/163374 Amara aulica pretty rare in NA but common all over europe. It can bite but they're not venomous.

@BeAware There's quite a few https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted?tab=readme-ov-file#photo-and-video-galleries

Christmas present...LED VU meter thingy :)

So the OFFICIAL Microsoft Teams Streamdeck plugin requires you to enable API access; a feature Microsoft removed from Teams back in February and the new app(s...Teams has multiple) removed that feature BREAKING THEIR OWN OFFICIAL PLUGIN!!! FFS...

Just stunning' for reference in the UK *3* people were killed by police last year and one of those is currently subject of a murder trial.

Linux noob question; is there a reason all the tutorials use vi versus using nano? Is it just vi is ubiquotous or some technical reason.

Watched it and IT WAS THE GREATEST THING EVER!

TIP: S02E07 Of Strange New Worlds (the Lower Decks crossover) is out on Parmaount+ NOW. The released it early for SDCC.

@youronlyone Honestly never had an issue with it. I had expected a £20 camera awould last one or two uses but it's still going. I'm deaf so always paranoid about my ears getting blocked and it settles my mind.

@youronlyone Absolutely I have one https://www.amazon.co.uk/Oxbird-High-Definition-Three-axis-Intelligent-Stabilization/dp/B08BNDFKC2/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=T5EH9LL2FVS5&keywords=ear+camera&qid=1685959150&sprefix=ear+camera%2Caps%2C85&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1&smid=A1J6XWJ0T821HZ

@thomasfuchs Having worked on many of these systems when I was consultant it's often 'the team who wrote it left and we have no clue how it works'. So no team / manger wants to touch old systems & the risk of building replacements without understanding the original is way too high for the super-risk averse banks. ind you it employs a bunch of VB6, COBOL and LISP devs who otherwise would be skilled out of the market so not all bad ;)

@Gargron Would users naturally migrating to other instances not influence that too? So multiple 'new users' with the original wind up becoming 'inactive' as the user migrated?
