Principle of least permission. I’m a dev and I still have to ask for temporary permission to even access customer infrastructure to solve production issues. Why should you need access to deployment infrastructure? I would deny you too, especially if your need could be solved by a local install of git.

Yup when I used to be into print timelapses and used my Sony A7iii, I accomplished it with a cheap relay, a cheap off camera trigger cable, a virtually free 3.5mm TRRS adapter, and the raspberry pi I was already running octaprint off of. Set a pin high on the pi that’s connected to the relay, which shorts a couple pins on the barrel adapter, which triggers the camera. Got pretty incredible results, too, but most of that comes down to controlling the lighting well.

You’re making Lemmy a great place to be.

Yes, this is cool, but imagine if you will the octopus, evolving intelligence from inside phylum mollusca, whose common ancestor with us (and all chordates) is an ancient worm.

Their brains might as well be alien compared to chordate intelligence.
