I am very reluctant to use WordPress at all because I’ve heard terrible things from multiple colleagues. It looks like something that’d get problematic at some point.

Absolutely general purpose. In the most simple terms, email, password hash, and a bit of metadata

This is what I had in mind as well; If you had to how would you add a beamer to this that could use your jellyfin/plex server?

Ideally I’d want a pi or mini pc behind the beamer that I can switch on/off remotely so that part is not always on

Okay I never knew that, I would also accept tips for setting up a star trek beamer though xD

A lemmy user made a comment on a similar post ‘press statements about future stock prices are kinda self fulfilling prophecies’

Which, if you think about it, benefits those holding shares/interested in the stock… For example: a former boss of an oil company talking about how the price might hike …

0.0 run the fuck away!

God damn, those look like police/first response, why are they this close to it?!

/u/Chainweasel@lemmy.world explains this well, though I got a different take on the analogy.

Imagine you are trying to put air into a deflating balloon that’s about to ‘loose form’ that’s essentially what you are trying.

Put just enough air (energy/mass) into the star and it will stay stable, loosing as much as you put into it.

Too little and the star will dissolved, in this example you’d fully absorb it.

Too much and you are essentially infusing a star with so much mass that it explodes all over again.

If you are trying to stabilise a star this way, ideally, it would never even begin to go nova.

OK I am dumb I didn’t read the edit at the end

I mean… Maybe I am just oversimplifying things or misreading something, but if the cabinet the switch was on was metal then maybe the switch connected ground to ground? Suddenly changing ground to ground can crash old hardware quite reliably but booting with another ground plate could make it adjust the potentials properly… I’ve done this multiple times in a lab, in essence adding more ground causes the ground plates to equal out and that sudden drop can crash sensitive hardware…

Please tell me i am wrong I want this magic switch to be true so bad
