Looks like youve done your research!
Depending on the kettle model, most draw just under 10A these days. General household outlets (at least in australia) are only rated for 10A anyway.
Ive used hundreds of kettle leads in my time and never seen one used for an actual kettle funnily enough
How is the power wired exactly? It looks like youve piggy backed off each cable before it, meaning the first cable is carrying the load from all after it which it usually isnt designed to do, should be fine if appropriately rated to the equipment.
Looks mint!
Just in case no one has said it, Pixelfed
Put it this way, Im not deleting songs that I dont like that are part of good albums.
I dont have any 1 star songs currently and barely any 2 stars because I just dont download those artists
I use Symfonium to do the same thing.
My rating system is a bit loosey goosey because its hard and tedious to catagorise music into more that 5 levels. Its mostly defined by how much/often I would listen to a song because that seems like a good base line.
Songs sonetimes get upgraded / downgraded on the fly and then siphon in / out to the respective playlists.
Are you saying that you think theres no chance of privacy on the internet at all or just using euro tech?
Because verifiable open source e2ee chat apps exist, some that can be used without any identifying information at all.
Examples:
edit: or are you referring to just social media?
Lego, the original 3D printer
I agree with most of that, however the mentality for liability is the same as “well what was she wearing” victim blaming. The parents arent the perpetrators.
I agree that parental knowledge to properly moderate kids usage of the internet is an issue - a skill issue. But that doesnt mean its their fault the kids get addicted to these things and exploited. The ones who openly do not care are a different story, thats child neglent as far as I am concerned.
I agree age verification and ID checks are absolutely not the answer and trying to censor the internet is not the answer. I think the answer more likely lies in holding companies accountable. There are reasons standards exist in many industries - to protect the consumer. As far as I am aware no standards exist when dealing with social media platforms.
Apologies I had a technical difficulty and posted the same comment several times.

I guess in response to your last paragraph, the issue is the predatory nature of the attention addiction machines these companies make.
You could compare it to a child that got in to a van that had “free candy” written on the side. The door was open, if you assume someone was standing next to the van asking the kid to get in, that would be advertising. Now the kid gets abducted. Their “attention” is held hostage in the case of social media etc.
Now, would the parents have had to tell the kids to not get in to a van with free candy written on it for them to be able to report it to the police? Bad luck otherwise? Now what if every month a new van rocks up with more bells and whistles, its a different colour, its got flames down the side, whatever - the point is its different and cool and more appealing each time. More kids go missing. The “predators” have figured out what makes these kids tick and what makes them more likely to get in the van every time.
It’s a bit of an out there and confronting comparison but really, these companies are praying on your mental instead of your physical, which apparently is free game. They are still predators.
They know the harm their platforms cause, they suppress studies that report that harm, they cover it up, they fight tooth and nail and spend millions lobbying government to let them continue to do it.
Back on track sorry, schools are also responsible but you run in to the same issues once companies start targetting school kids like google did with chromebooks - the shittest PCs sold at a loss just so they could attempt to hook the younger generation in to their ecosystem of surveilance and advertising early.
Companies will NEVER protect the children. They will only ever protect shareholders, profits and their pedo CEOs.
Real change will only ever come from real (not sponsored) education, government legislation that isnt bullshit (I dont know what this would look like but ID checking isnt it) and holding the tech bros increasingly accountable for their fucked up apps.
We all did dumb shit as kids, but tech wasnt anywhere near what it is now.
These platforms need to be punished and held to account for the pervasive technology they have designed for profit, these things (FB, insta. Tiktok etc) shouldnt be able to exist in the first place in their current state. There were no guard rails put in place - just like the flood of AI, technology moves so much quicker than legislation can keep up and companys do really shitty things with that.
I believe it starts at a parenting level, but it’s much more difficult to manage these days compared to 20 years ago. Age verification bullshit is not the answer but parents need to be given some form of help againt these fuckers and their incredibly easy to access addiction machines.
Comaps + GMaps WV to get coords to specific spots if they arent on comaps.
Yes gmaps wv is technically google but its only a webview app that doesnt get any of my precious data and spits out universal coordinates very easily to search up in other map apps.
Ah I see, that must be it
Owl - Ive been using it all day without issue? With an exchange account…
Dunno where you got this from.
There is an entire market full of DAPs and DACs.
I agree, I think its such a bitch because a music collection is very personal and maybe your tags dont line up with what the general public think.
I’ve let Lidarr do the metadata for all my tracks as I would go insane trying to do it myself with the sheer quantity.
The tools we have these days to own and manage our own collections is incredible - its a shame so many people still use spotify.
Yep exactly, thats why its 10A rated, technically someone could wire a 20A appliance to a 10A plug, which I have encountered a few times, and it will be fine for a few minutes. Depending on what type breaker is installed it may trip before that anyway.
