one of the first use case of augmented reality glasses was medical right after military. There are some positive applications for « smart » glasses. Not those from meta obviously but as with all tools there are good and bad applications and only the siths should deal in absolutes.

Also the jellyfish situation for one of the plants as well.

That could be the preface to internet overall…

scalable has cost and you only want to engage costs when it comes with benefits. Preventing non legitimate traffic is complementary to scalability. Just don’t pay for illegitimate traffic…

why would one do either? By whitelisting you entirely prevent traffic. API auth takes processing. How wrong is it? Maybe for your home usage it’s good enough but layering measures has value…

I’m not sure how to position myself when a court orders a company to adapt their software in such specific ways. At the very least that should be a matter of a legislation with a broader analysis and considerations applied to the whole sector. Plus, maybe, consider parenting in the picture… Teenagers should maybe not be looking a notifications during the night.

I don’t thing the world is so homogeneous that your take is applicable across the board but the overall trend clearly relates to « let’s reduce our human capital ». And a lot of opportunistic small / medium players trying to capitalise on it. With a sprinkle of conviction driven exec borderline on religious fanatisme.

Well, we’ll keep all the surounding untouched. The concrete is just the surface to accomodate outdoor kitchen, a table & hopefully, a jacuzzi or, for the times being, the kids “pool”. On top of the concret I’ll run some creeper vines in the to-be wooden patio. Rest assured that all the trees and surrounding pastures won’t move an inch. Before being concrete this was largelly gravel in any case. Heat behaviour has been a concern from the start but the balance tipped towards this outcome.

upvoted for the old but quality reference :)

As much as the concrete I will pour… but the sides where water can seep through will have a permeable layer. Between the walls and the pad. And the layer below the membrane sure is permeable.

That - and the vibrating plate I used yesterday - are my highlight in fun toys this year. I’d totally pay a couple of € to play with that kind of tools instead of your to six flags :)

So it’s all sitting on a layer of small rock so water would drain well. And I’ll be making a slope in the concrete so the water should get right at the end of the pad where I’ll be making a franch drain / rock walkway to make sure nothing pools too much. Additionally my roof is overhanging quite a bit so the ~40cm are most of the time dry when it rains anyway unless rains gets sideways twice every 5 years or so.

yup. Need to get the outdoors more practical as our weather is now all hot & dry…

If everyone was doing that I’d be isolated as fuck because without a lot of opportunities I just forget about others…

Ho lords… so many crevices…

That’s exactly what I have foreseen :) I saw another post a while ago showing that and I had geotextile in excess so I used it with the remaining of the rocks we had around.

This is my next nemesis : routing the conduits to my basement while keeping as much as possible of the 12cm foreseen for the slab. It’s an old staircase when they still needed to shovel coal in the basement. At some point someone closed it roughly with some prefab slab. So clearance is limited if I want to keep it as is and not take it apart (which would be… a long and shifty process). I’m currently missing about 3cm. I’ll see this week if I can grind them somehow.

Il heb ok een van deze gebruik. Slecht slecht expérience. 😅

I think an actual French drain requires some kind of pierced tubing running along the drain. I don’t think I will bother with that.

I’m taking a mental note of that. More laser fun yeahhhh 🫩
