You will also note the large mirror above the desk: this is to allow ample opportunity to look at ones self whilst deeply rethinking prior life choices…

Should we try to coin the term:

“Beer’s Razor”

The purpose of a system is what it does…

I don’t want to be the “Deputy Downer” here, but I can’t stress the important of the v0 (we say v-naught) plastics in keeping you safe when it comes to electrical installations - for those that aren’t aware, they are plastics that have to self extinguish once the fault trips the electrical protection, should a fault occur that sets them on fire. (ie: once the electricity isn’t making it flame anymore, it has to put itself out)

Here is an example of how even low voltage DC can fault, and had the LED strip diffuser plastic not been v0 rated, we would have had a late night house fire into the roof when kids were asleep…

PETG in this kind of situation just becomes fuel and possible a very, very, very bad day…

I know v0 spools are more expensive, but cheaper than just about any of the disaster situation alternatives, so I always suggest you prototype with PLA/PETG but print v0 for the finals…

I’d suggest hobbling those log links that point to active payloads etc - usually best practice when writing this stiff up, so someone doesn’t accidentally click on them…

Whilst this would be better than blanket age verification, I feel it’s a mediocre outcome for the wrong fight.

Rather than taking a carve out for FOSS, the right fight is to get the online anonymity ban age verification legislation taken out completely.

If we let ourselves be satisfied with a carve out for those of us who are technically literate enough to sidestep early implementations anyway, we let the status quo change, until eventually they will come back for FOSS with the justification:

“well, EVERYONE ELSE submits to age verification, why should FOSS be any different?!”

or more likely:

“${scaryThreat} now uses FOSS to commit ${heinousCrime} against ${peopleWeSuddenlyCareAboutForPoliticalCapital} so we HAVE to protect the kids on FOSS now too!! #thoughtsAndPrayers #wontSomebodyThinkOfTheChildren”
