Never tried it, but hot peppers can be added to birdseed to prevent this — birds aren’t sensitive to capsaicin, so it only affects the mammals.

Sounds like this was basically the plot of the first Nolan Batman.

Privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Your ring camera is being used to abduct your neighbors
11·4 days agoLots of local-only options out there for security cameras. Doorbell cameras may be a little harder to find, but it looks like they exist.
I have a few Amcrest PoE bullet cameras, and they work great local-only. They’re on a separate VLAN, only my server can talk to them, and I have had zero problems with them. They even support NTP, which my router provides, so the clocks stay synced with no intervention. I’m running them with Frigate.

11·11 days agoEvery so often there’s a post on Lemmy about how you should stick it to your landlord and put grease down the drain.
This is why that’s a bad idea, and it sucks for everyone, not just your landlord.
Obviously you should use an exponential search, assuming you don’t know the age of the oldest human.

Technology@lemmy.world•Wine 11 runs Windows apps in Linux and macOS better than everEnglish
2·12 days agoNot sure how serious your comment is, but I could certainly imagine Microsoft introducing new dependencies/hooks/all-executables-must-support-copilot, etc., that break compatibility faster than Wine can keep up. Glad to hear that’s not the case!
For old stuff though…yeah, I’d hope it’s not moving backwards :)
my pro tip.
I see what you did there.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Guys, what's the best Linux distro to install on my PC?
8·14 days agoTorvalds uses it too I believe, so you’re in good company (Debian for me, though my heart belongs to Slackware).
I’m not sure they’ve had bugs as severe as CVE-2023-4863 though?

Linux@lemmy.ml•Remote desktop, not sharing desktop, how ?! [solved]
1·14 days agoVNC? You have your choice of servers, and clients are ubiquitous.
A big gotcha is that you need to be careful with encryption/security, as in classic UNIX style VNC does one thing (remote desktops). It’s easy to forward over ssh though.
You can also use VNC to share, which is not what you want; this depends on the type of server/settings. But you can definitely create a new virtual X11 session and access it remotely.

Huh, it’s not like there are any security issues with it…

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•US State Denies Appeal Of Woman Fined $100K For Parking In Her Own Driveway - SlashGearEnglish
15·15 days agoHuh. I was expecting the comments to be a little more of the Fuck Cars crowd.
In my city there was a whole kerfuffle because people were fined for parking in their own driveway due to it not actually being a driveway, as there was no garage, despite having a curb cut. It sounds like this sort of thing has been changed under the new mayor.
The difference between a cheap bike and a nice bike is similar to the difference between a Chromebook and a decked out ThinkPad or Macbook IMHO.
You’re absolutely right: most folks just browse the web, and a Chromebook is enough. But the other products do have value.
Whenever I mess with my bike brakes, I only do one wheel, then a few rides later allow myself to do the other. That way if I botch it I should have another brake that sorta still works.

Bikini Bottom Twitter@lemmy.world•Are those combination jobbers any good?
3·18 days agoWe just bought a combo heat pump unit and I love it. Dirty goes in, clean and dry comes out. Not cheap though.
A big complaint from others/reviews is that they take too long. For us it’s not really an issue because we like our machines (washer/dryer, dishwasher…rsync backups, whatever) to work while we sleep.
Recent purchase, we’ll see about reliability.
Not a historian, but folks on The Internet have characterized the Soviet program as a series of milestones, with the US program a series of stepping stones in support of a single goal.
This makes sense with the cartoon, where the Soviets were first in basically everything except walking on the moon.
Not sure how much merit it has, but it’s kinda interesting.



I would probably add “transmit power” in there somewhere, but I guess if you’re assuming regulatory limits then it’s not a big variable.
