Trump says he won’t run for president again in 2028 if he loses in November by Jimbabwe in c/news@lemmy.world

He also said he wouldn’t run again if he lost to Biden 4 years ago. Why does anyone believe a single word that comes out of his shithole of a mouth?

The word "slyly" looks very aesthetically pleasing. What are other handsome words (any language)? by Jimbabwe in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Boob just because it shows how boobs look from the three main perspectives: top, straight on, and profile.

Heads of churches say Israeli government is demanding they pay property tax, upsetting status quo by Jimbabwe in c/world@lemmy.world

Then they taxed the churches and I said “Right on. They should have been doing that all along.”

Then they used the tax revenues to fuck the Palestinians more and I said “god fucking dammit!”

Proton is transitioning towards a non-profit structure by Jimbabwe in c/technology@lemmy.world

[-] Jimbabwe@lemmy.world 128 points 3 months ago

Similar structure, yes, but this is the important part:

Swiss foundations and their board of trustees are legally obligated to act in accordance with the purpose for which they were established

So, just like the Louvre museum in Paris and the Luxor casino in Las Vegas have similar structures, pointing this out doesn’t really contribute much to the discussion.

For all I know, OpenAI’s purpose is to create Skynet and kill all humans. But Proton’s is:

Our legally binding purpose is to further the advancement of privacy, freedom, and democracy around the world.

Building DIY a smart doorbell but would appreciate some help with the power and wiring (lemmy.world)

Hello, and thank you in advance.

I'm making a privacy friendly "ring" cam/doorbell following this guide: https://tristam.ie/2023/758/ which has been great, but requires running a micro-usb cable down to the doorbell for power. I'm hoping to improve on this by using the existing doorbell power instead.

The problem is that I'm a DIY electronics noob and I can't create a mental model for how it should all work. The picture I attached is my existing doorbell wiring scheme, which is as simple as it comes. I totally get how this works. Pressing the doorbell completes the circuit and makes the bingbongs. But this will have to change so the new door cam gets power full time. Ideally without the chime bingbonging full time.

In addition to the ESP-32CAM, button, ring lights, etc., I also bought these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079FJSYGY which I thought might be needed to complete the circuit?

I measured the voltage after the transformer and it was around 18 volts, but maybe this is AC and I want DC?

Generally I don't know where in "the loop" to put things. Also, all the existing components are very far apart from each other, so I would love a solution that doesn't involve running any new wires through the walls.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you!!

Born too late to explore the world. Born too soon to explore the stars. Born just in time for Algae 2.0 to drop.

Holy balls, it costs almost as much as Netflix ($204/year) and all it does is spy on you?! I’m not an evil man but these idiots ask for this service. I wish I’d thought of it.
