Protest protective gear - Lemmy.World

Sorry if this is a bit off topic. I want to learn more about what protective gear is recommended at a protest. The obvious threats I want to be less susceptible to are CS gas, rubber bullets to the face, and LRAD. So I want impact protection and no unfiltered airflow for my eyes (and ideally the rest of my face), filtration for my nose and mouth, and hopefully earplugs and earmuffs. Solutions I’ve thought of: - half face respirator and some sort of goggles. Not bad but what goggles are both airtight and impact resistant? - half face respirator and doubling up eye protection? May not be practical - full face respirator. Chinesium is $30, 3M is around $110. Does that include impact protection? Not sure. They may get in the way of earmuffs, too - Milsurp gas mask. Probably fits the bill, though may get in the way of earmuffs. Are they at all ergonomic compared to contractor/industrial stuff? So yeah, lots of questions. Anyone know of any good resources discussing this?

So what was the outcome of last night's marching? - Lemmy.World

I left a little after 9. Did anyone wind up getting arrested? Any vandalism? Tear gas, rubber bullets?

Automate things on playback start? - Lemmy.World

Rather than manually or periodically letting tasks run from Scheduled Tasks, is there a way to run tasks when I start playing a file? For instance, if I start playing an episode of a show I’d like to at least have jellyfin check for matching subtitles and scan it for intro-skipper audio fingerprints.

Anyone able to shed some light on iMessage RCS support and MVNOs? - Lemmy.World

The rollout of RCS on iMessage has been confusing to me. I know some carriers like Mint don’t yet support iMessage RCS; the company’s founder has said that it’s something on their end that will be fixed around December. But I’ve also seen some people on Apple’s forums pointing fingers at Apple. I want to get a better understanding of what the holdup is. How does the iMessage RCS bridge work? What are the technical challenges? Why was every carrier not working on this for months and prepared for the iOS 18 rollout? And if I’m using Google Messages on an MVNO that doesn’t yet support iMessage RCS, does that imply I can’t RCS message an iPhone user on a carrier that does support it?

Is this hole in my rear tire fixable? - Lemmy.World

I noticed this hole when I got to work in the morning. It lets out enough air that I can hear it when I try to inflate the tire. What are my options here, aside from buying and mounting a new tire? Is this fixable with liquid sealant? A rubber rope kit? I’m not taking this bike past 90mph, so any fix doesn’t need to be capable of withstanding incredibly high stress. But I don’t want to be unsafe, either. Thanks for the help.
