There are varying opinions on the realities of climate change, which is backed by science. But at least one group of people is close enough to the effects of it to have a more insightful perspective: farmers.
I've got a cheap salt lamp with a LED inside and it runs on a 5V wall wart. I think it originally had a USB plug but I cut that off and connected it to an old 5V power supply.
I've never used esp32, but I've been doing some reading and it seems like an esp32-c6 will allow me to do this with ZigBee.
Does this sound reasonable? Are there other options I should consider?
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) was recently accused of "unacceptable behavior" by Transportation Security Agency (TSA) and law enforcement agents at the Charleston International Airport, after she reportedly berated police and TSA staff escorting the congr…
They say there’s a ceasefire, but the sounds of explosions still echo through the night, and the dust still fills the sky. We are still out in the open, trying to survive the cold, the hunger, and the fear.
The few tents we have are not enough, and the nights are getting longer and colder. Still, we try to stay strong, to speak, to remind the world that we are still here.
Your presence, your words, your prayers — they all mean more than you can imagine.
If anyone wishes to reach out or know more, you can visit my profile or message me directly.
Thank you to everyone who still sees the humanity in us. 🇵🇸
Pretty bad article, but a couple interesting points that we all probably know already. Since it's a liberal woman, it's new to her I guess.
I told him that I was born in Russia and was a writer. He showed me a list he’d written of his favourite desserts in the city. It was a sober hobby he’d started during the pandemic, going to restaurants by himself, sampling sweets. He made a lot of lists, he said, most of them food-related. I asked what other kinds he made.
“Lists of lies liberal white women tell about Donald Trump,” he replied.
Suddenly, his leg was shaking. He grabbed the edges of the table and raised his voice: “White, liberal women are a plague on our society.”
He proceeded to drink 11 iced coffees. . . . “They say horrible things about me and make everyone hate me and think I’m a bad person,” he said. He was staring at a point in the distance, speaking like he was in some kind of trance.
“What did they say about you?” I asked.
He snapped out of it. “Oh, not me,” he answered. “I meant Donald Trump.”
Over the course of a few dates, he’d make this mistake often, where he’d talk about Trump in the first person. And I came to realise that while I was trying to separate Jared from who he voted for, he may have been personally struggling to do the exact same thing, just in a very different way. It became clear to me that he truly loved Trump not just because he identified with Trump the politician but because he identified with Trump the person being considered ‘bad’ by progressive standards. . . . On a different week, I met up with Jake*, 36. He was on his second mezcal negroni, and I was sipping a seltzer with lime, when I asked him why his last relationship ended. “My previous girlfriend killed our child,” he said. “Like, she’s in jail now for murder?” I asked. “No, but she should be,” he explained, shooting back his drink. “She got an abortion and killed our child without asking me.” I took a deep breath and tried to listen carefully. . . . At a chic omakase place, Matthew*, 25, from New Jersey was going off about how “we should have never let a woman be head of the Secret Service”. With each course, I fired off questions about his upbringing. He mentioned online groups where there were “others like him”, the kind where people whose radical-to-me beliefs find validation — and even more than validation, identity itself. Matthew later revealed he has a swastika tattoo. . . . I didn’t feel that any of the men I dated were that interested in me as a person or where I came from either. I rarely got questions like, Why are you Republican-curious? What drew you to our dating app? What are your family values? What are you looking for in a partner? What are your goals in life? . . . On our last date, we were walking through a park when I told him we couldn’t keep seeing each other, that I disagreed with most of his beliefs and didn’t align with the future he wanted. Confused, he replied that from his point of view, we actually agreed on most things.
No, I said, we didn’t, which he would know if he’d asked me any questions about myself. He still leaned in and tried to kiss me. We never saw each other again.
A writer went on 26 dates to see if it’s possible for romantic connections between contrasting political beliefs — from liberals to MAGA alt-right — to exist
In case anyone hasn't seen already, Our Changing Climate is a fantastic, easily accessible resource for learning about the broader context of the climate change challenge.

I have an account on piefed under the same name, and I can't upvote posts, view comments or interact in any way as of three hours ago. When I tried to post, there was an error message that said 'UsedMemory > AvailableMemory'. It's happening when I tried it in a Private window as well. Is Piefed down?
On Thursday night, the president of the Heritage Foundation — the MAGA right’s leading think tank — welcomed an open Nazi into his political coalition. You might think I am exaggerating. I assure you I am not. The Nazi in question here, podcaster Nick Fuentes, has described Adolf Hitler as “really fucking cool” and said “perfidious Jews” must “be given the death penalty” after “we take power.” And on Thursday, Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts released a video defending this person’s inclusion in polite-right politics: describing Fuentes not as a hate-monger to be banished from the decent right, but as a coalition member whose view of Jews-as-evil-traitors should be politely debated.
Heat guard Terry Rozier will not be paid while on leave of absence because of his arrest on federal charges related to a gambling scheme. Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups also will not be paid while on leave, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania.

I have not been able to successfully post to a Lemmy instance either as a post or a comment. A cryptic error message is returned where the error is unknown and the message is a generic message:
{"error":"unknown","message":"data did not match any variant of untagged enum AnnouncableActivities"}
From my logs, it seems this is happening:
I make a valid ActivityPub request with the audience of a community (or cc a user).
Lemmy makes an ActivityPub request back at me at /.
My web site does not handle ActivityPub at /, and responds with a text/plain error message. This is default behavior in Drupal.
Lemmy rejects my request with a 400 response with the error message above.
I tested other instances by making the following get request to the root of each instance (thank you, Daniel Sternberg for maintaining curl):
Mastodon returns a 406 response in application/json.
NodeBB returns text/html.
GoToSocial returns a 406 response in application/json.
Mitra returns a 200 response in text/html.
Pixelfed returns a 200 response in text/html.
Peertube returns an empty 406 response.
My hypothesis is that Lemmy is rejecting the request because I return [strong]text/plain[/strong] and/or it cannot handle a response with that content type.
To test that I am working on changing the default behavior. I will need to dynamically add a route based on system.site.page.front and return a 406 response in JSON. This is simple enough. If my hypothesis is correct, I can also make a merge request into drupal/activitypub module, which would have the same problem. If not, then I’ll need to go digging further.

Pretty inspiring that she’s achieved so much despite her chronic health conditions. It’s also refreshing to see honesty about needing to properly rest to avoid burnout. Too often we see gung-ho statements from people about pushing through and remaining busy.
And for decades, the Environmental Protection Agency tracked those emissions not by monitoring the air but by relying on a kind of honor system. Companies were allowed to estimate their chemical pollution using methods that even the EPA conceded were often unreliable.
In 2023, the EPA received irrefutable proof that these estimates were highly flawed. The agency had required 20 industrial facilities to temporarily install air monitors around their perimeters — known as fence-line monitoring — to see how bad the pollution actually was.
The results, compiled now for the first time by ProPublica, were shocking.
The Trump administration has put a stop to EPA rules that would have required more than 130 industrial facilities to install air monitors to measure pollution. Millions of people living near these plants face an increased risk of cancer.
