Cosmic Meow Backgroundhey <a href="https://cathode.church/tags/lazyweb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#lazyweb</a>, does anyone have experience with SSR photo relays? I'm thinking about using some for (near) DC signal switching instead of latching relays for cost reasons. or maybe there's an option I'm not thinking about? I've also thought about high voltage capable silicon muxes, but those are also expensive... basically all I need is a cheap, high-side gate driver capable of driving the gate to 15V from a single 5V source, but gate drivers with integrated charge pumps also seem rather expensive. it's tradeoffs all the way down.

Scott RochesterI have always wondered about websites that publish other people's poetry without discussing copyright.When does a piece of literature become “public domain” and/or copyright free?Could somebody with superior knowledge please guide me to an explanation?Thanks.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/askfedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#askfedi</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/lazyweb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#lazyweb</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/poetry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#poetry</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/writingcommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#writingcommunity</a>

David Chisnall (*Now with 50% more sarcasm!*)<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Lazyweb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Lazyweb</a>: A while ago I came across a paper that said men in management positions were more likely than women to make judgements based on emotions instead of evidence. I can't find it now, does anyone have a reference?

James YoungI'm archiving something and I'll need to do it in stages because of space. Like, an interactive "split", "[do next chunk], or do *n* chunks", tap the Enter key to move forward... Is there something battle-tested for this, or is lashing together a bespoke script the norm? (I asked Github Copilot for software pointers, and it really wants to write a script. I can think of features like checksums and gracefully handling running out of space, and I expect that someone else, who's given it more than a few minutes of thought, has covered those niceties and more already) <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/sysadmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sysadmin</a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/AskFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AskFedi</a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/LazyWeb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LazyWeb</a>

dave collinsIt's been a long day and I am tired. Maybe someone can help me out with this?I wanted to install a new <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a> disto on my most beefy machine, but it has UEFI and SecureBoot. I know that I can turn them off, but it seemed to be a challenge getting any distro on there that wasn't GhostBSD or Fedora. My question - is it possible in 2025 to get a new machine that doesn't have UEFI or Secure boot? Or is that not possible and I just am doing something wrong when it comes to installing any non-Fedora or BSD type of distro?If the problem exists between the keyboard and the chair, I am willing to accept that as possible or even likely. I tried a few options (openSUSE and endeavorOS) but the only thing I could get to work was Slackware or FreeBSD, and that is just a little more effort than I have right now. I've got projects that I need to work on, and I don't want to spend more than a few hours setting up an OS.I mostly write code using vim, but I do need to do some virtualization as well. Those are my biggest considerations. Anyway, I appreciate any suggestions you might have. Thank you!<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/lazyweb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#lazyweb</a>

Charles ☭ says trans rightsIn November 1703, Rabbi Nieto gave a sermon at Bevis Marks synagogue in London that lead to accusations of heresy.

marnanelI want to run an(other) account which posts pictures every so often on social media.Up until now I've always built or used separate scripts for each network.

Sara GolemonDear <a href="https://phpc.social/tags/lazyweb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#lazyweb</a>; Does anyone remember when <a href="https://phpc.social/tags/php" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#php</a> added the mysql:localhost == mysql:/tmp/mysql.sock "optimization"? I know it's freaking ANCIENT, but I can't quite be bothered to track it down.Also, was this because MySQL used to do it and PHP wanted to preserve that for BC reasons after MySQL removed the "helpful" behavior?

Sara SoueidanOK so looks like I will be moving away from Codepen for my live demos—particularly those in my accessibility course—as it's been acting kinda funny lately.
