If blasted into their face by an explosive charge I imagine it will also leave them with horrific PTSD as well!

I’m using the other comments to hypothesise but I think they are using Benedryl (an anti-hystemine/anti-allergy medication) and putting it inside a shotgun cartridge. The implication being that they will shoot people breaking into their house with a powerful over-the-counter narcotic.

filtoid@lemmy.mlto OpenStreetMap community@lemmy.ml•[StreetComplete] Is this stop lit?English45·2 months agoI’m not particularly aware of the rules of the community but I would assume the intention is to indicate if the bus stop is “lit safely” for those who feel more vulnerable at night, such as women, the very young, and the very old. So I would perhaps interpret it that way - does it feel “safe” for things such as if a paving stone is loose, would you see it, or could an attacker get too close before you saw them.
filtoid@lemmy.mlto Buy European@feddit.uk•As of last night, Someone Went Android-free and Google-free.6·2 months agoI got stung in the same crowd funding disaster. In the wake if it I moved away from using sailfish as a daily driver but I’ve just bought one of these (in pic from OP) and it’s really nice. I’m away at the minute but when I get back I’ll be using it as a daily, with an android phone as a WiFi tablet for banking and the stuff that needs a “real” android device*.

filtoid@lemmy.mlto politics @lemmy.world•Arrest Of Elon Musk For Felony Vote Buying Demanded In Wisconsin1·2 months agoAh that’s interesting, I had thought of it more negatively. It’s not a common word where I am, so my knowledge has been gleaned from American media, mostly.

filtoid@lemmy.mlto politics @lemmy.world•Arrest Of Elon Musk For Felony Vote Buying Demanded In Wisconsin51·2 months agoI often felt from context it was closer to “hubris”, as “cajones” might just mean brave.
Fair warning I haven’t read this specific article but an MIT prediction has societal collapse happening by 2040
The french used to use an explosive device called a “petard” (old french for a fart), that was used to breach doors. However these would sometimes blow back and kill the user rather than breach the door. This was the original intention for the Shakespearian phrase. One was Hoisted (old verb* not used anymore but essentially blown off their feet) by their own Petard (or door breaching bomb).
More information is here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoist_with_his_own_petard
*Unrelated to hoist as in to lift, despite similarities
Yes agree with this and categorise each into one set of broader goals, I suggest one is Programming, one could be Gaming etc. Then allocate time to each larger goal and order your sub “tickets” in there so you focus on one thing in a section at a time. For example, don’t learn Python and Rust at the same time, focus on one or the other (I’d probably suggest Python first as Rust has a very steep learning curve), but you can easily spend some time a week learning Python and some time learning Factorio, without the two things working against each other.
Edit: for Programming stuff the site Roadmap.sh (https://roadmap.sh/) is useful for giving you an opinionated task list. It’s not for everyone, but if you just want to know where to start you could go a lot further wrong than that.

filtoid@lemmy.mlto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•How can I host a small api/database accessable from a phone app as cheap/easily as possible?English4·3 months agoJust a quick note for hosting a DB on a pi (or anything that uses SD cards for the OS), SD cards fail with some regularity, so I strongly suggest getting an NVMe board with a stick of SSD memory to store the actual files, because it’s much more reliable long term for data integrity. SD cards support reading large amounts but writes wear them out more quickly.
You can find great cases that come with the boards (but not the SSD, however that’s very easy to find separately).
For RPi 4 I have an Argon (NVMe board sold as accessory): https://argon40.com/products/argon-one-v2-case-for-raspberry-pi-4
And fro RPi 5 I have a Pironman case (NVMe comes as part of the kit): https://www.sunfounder.com/products/pironman-5-nvme-m-2-ssd-pcie-mini-pc-case-for-raspberry-pi-5
I recommend both of those but your use case may vary.
