You can edit titles on Lemmy

I am aware of that. If the devs keep cracking at it, ten years from now Lemmy may have almost as much functionality as PHPBB, way surpassing Reddit. 😜

OTOH, this meta-discussion also has a certain value. So, I’ll leave the title as it is for now and will keep the issue in mind for any further posts.

That’s what I would have thought as well.

Yes, you are right!

I used the original title of the video on YouTube, even though it is not very descriptive. I would like to “editorialise” titles as little as possible. But here it would have made sense to change it. So, thank you!

If you can harness the wind, like they seem to have enough of in Ireland, I guess it could be cost-effective. A windmill may be overkill, but some kind of “vertical propeller” (how are they called?) may be enough.

OTOH, a windmill would be a great toy to play with, so I can understand his wish 😀

Haha, I am a native German speaker, and I had a hard time following them without looking at the subtitles. But then, grammar is a fickle bitch in all languages.

Ah, F-Droid did it. Thank you so much!

Happy days!

Very true, his videos got more and more commercial over the years, unfortunately. But there are still some gems in his videos now and then, like this bevel. However, I don’t think, it has to be 15° exactly 😜

Haha, yes, that’s seems to be their business model. OTOH, I am always amazed by these people’s abilities to fix the buggers. It’s like watchmaking to me, or witchcraft.

You’re right! Sometimes I think, having the big 7 on my age counter means to slow down. But it shouldn’t. There is so much still to see and explore.

Great explanation, thank you! I can guess, if a nut or bolt is more like a 10 or a 15mm, but not if it’s 10 or 11, haha! Yes, it’s an art and a science all at once.

Thanks! This tickles my creativity. I guess, I’ll start with a prototype from 2x4s sometime this summer.

Wow! And does it feel sturdy or rather flimsy?

Nope, Desktop computer with Linux, Firefox with uBlock, noScript etc.

I’ll look into it, thank you!

Also, don’t use YouTube directly, use Invidious or Piped, and this particular issue would be gone.

It’s the convenience. If you want to run a channel, you’re kind of damned to sell your soul. 🙃 The question is for how much you’d sell yourself out completely.

Not sure, if these apps run on a desktop computer, though, which is my main workhorse.

So I may try out Firefox’s sandboxing capabilities. That should take care of cookies, but I am not sure about fingerprinting.

Do you have the Amazon app installed on the same device

Linux pc. There is no Amazon nor YouTube app for that, that I know of.

what prompted you to look up the horses stuff?

Nothing really. I am more interested in dogs, but wanted to know how other animals are trained and possibly learn something new from their techniques.

I could try Firefox’s sandboxing, maybe.

I use DokuWiki for this type of thing. With a few add-ons it is nicely configurable (galleries, discussions etc), could be run from any webspace, and doesn’t need a database. You can have ACLs that make sure that only registered users get access. But it is a bit of a DIY solution, and takes a bit of work to set up.

My oldest “security camera” of this type has been online 24/7 since June 2019 and permanently connected to a charger of the smallest type I could find at that time. The battery still holds a charge when I take the phone down for cleaning. Not sure how old the phone itself is (a small Kyocera), probably a 2014 or 2015 model. So, for my requirements, I’d say, it’s reasonably reliable.

OTOH, you may be right, and they don’t make them like they used to in the olden days, haha.
