I doubt it, honestly.

If you're still on board with Trump at this point you'd just explain this away as an isolated accident.

Not really. Nextcloud does this. They call it a "file drop".

Like you create a share link for a folder, and then specify that users of that link can't see any files, only upload.

Edit: looking at the docs this one seems quite good. Thanks!

I was looking at this. Best option i found prior to making this post.

That was the first place I looked.

I was more or less exclusively lemmy for a good year or so, up until several months ago.

I would've logged into reddit maybe 3 or 4 times in the last year.

Sadly, I have to admit that browsing reddit with redlib or something is better than lemmy.

Lemmys main virtue is that its not reddit.

There's less content here, and it really is an echo chamber.

I'm a tax consultant, so I see a lot of people's side hustles.

As other's here have said, once you monetise a hobby it's not a fun hobby anymore... just another responsibility.

Take the beads thing for example. Carving some beads to make some cool jewellery sounds like a great hobby, and you could make some really amazing unique gifts for family. However, if you want to make money from it then you need to compete with other etsy vendors - you'll very quickly find the pieces that sell and then it becomes a question of how many of those pieces you can turn out per hour or per day.

Economically, making money requires time, or skill, or capital. The most appropriate will be a mix of all three that fits your circumstances. As a "side hustle" you kinda want a little of each rather than a lot of each. Good examples might be:

• window cleaning - for businesses or residences
• gutter cleaning - get one of those telescopic pole thingies with a camera so you don't actually need to go on anyones roof
• lawn mowing - just a few customers in your street

These things aren't "hobbies" but they will be a lot more satisfying, enjoyable, and profitable than carving beads.

It does kinda say this in the article.

I will add though, the main reason to use a drill press is precision, and it's hard to imagine a 3D printed structure wouldn't flex and warp during use.

Sure ok. If this is some crypto BS then that's reason enough to avoid the platform.

I just didn't think the CSAM angle is much of a criticism, even if they did try to minimise it.

Is it though?

I work on an adjacent industry.

Lenders lend money, that's how they make money.

If you've got savings and a steady job and can offer something a house as security they're gonna lend you the money to buy thay house, even if you don't have a score.

The score as a number, and the concept of building your credit score, is really just something bankers tell you when they're trying to get you to take a credit card.

Oh man are you me?

Shopping is not a pleasant experience for us. The millions of products trying to attract my attention, the people I don't want to talk to. It's a hostile environment.

I always managed it by zooming through getting everything on my list in the right route.

My partner just doesn't work that way. Hither and thither and lots of "just browsing" in between.

That's i good point i guess.

There's no way to confirm so it's just a rumour.

This seems kinda harsh.

CSAM distribution is possible on pretty much any platform.

As long as the platform isn't obfuscating a user's IP address then I don't see how it's any worse than any other platform.

A few weeks ago everyone in this community was fawning over some dev's new anonymous zero-knowledge file sharing platform and no one seemed to care that it would be overrun with CSAM.

Thanks for your input!

Sadly, this is another solution that would keep the machine closed when not in use so it would get mouldy and gross inside.

Yeah.

I agree the child lock feature seems poorly considered.

I did read somewhere that in the future regulations might require better child locks, or more touches to start a cycle or something. Not helpful to us though.

The item you linked does actually look as though it's the kind of timer I was looking for.

However, I think I've decided to get a smart plug that's controlled by wifi that will allow me to configure it to just power off once the cycle is done. Tinkering with this sort of stuff will be fun for other uses anyway.

There's also a specialised child lock someone suggested which I've linked elsewhere in this thread. It's not perfect - it just adheres to the front of the machine and I'm certain that it wouldn't stand up to even mild interest from a toddler, but it's something I guess.

I could put a lock on the laundry door no problem, but my concern is that it will get left open sooner or later due to laziness or a guest or something. The locked door will just make that room more appealing IMO meaning that occasionally forgetting to lock the door is almost as risky as never closing the door.

I think the smart plug is the best shot at a "solution".

Yes I've tried it. No it doesn't work.

It's not intended to work that way.

Machine is about 5 years old.

Sorry I just... don't think this is going to work.

This type of timer would be so fiddly to configure every time. It would also turn the power back on at the same time the next day.

Also I'm not usually standing around ready to turn the power off when the cycle finishes.

LG says:

The child lock feature disables control panel buttons and prevents children and others from changing cycle settings during a wash or dry cycle.

This is indeed how it works on our machine.

I'm not sure. Is the candle like a mood lighting thing or a blackout thing? How dark is it without the candle? Are we doing something important or just hanging out? Is the candle scented?

Will get mouldy and gross inside.

Someone else mentioned a specialised product like this:
