  • Where is Linux not working well in your daily usage? Share your pain points as of 2026, so we can respectfully discuss

  • My bazzite PC in my living room stopped recognizing the Bluetooth built into my motherboard which is annoying but easily worked around with a USB Bluetooth dongle.

  • What communities would you like to see on Lemmy?

    Jump

  • r/locksmith has no equivalent here and I'm not sure it ever will because it's such a niche trade. Niche porn subreddit equivalents would also be nice but the ones I'm thinking about get barely any activity on Reddit so they would be completely dead here.

  • What is your most important tool?

    Jump

  • Locksmith here, my most used and most important tool is a pen because if you can't write up the invoice you don't make any money.

  • How far back in time could you go with your skills?

    Jump

  • I'm a locksmith so any time since the invention of the pin tumbler lock 150ish years ago I will be fine. I don't prefer it but I can hand file keys without any electric key cutting machines. Before that the bit and barrel locks that were used I know enough to get by though admittedly I don't know enough history to say roughly how long ago those were invented.

  • Does anyone actually have home safes or does everyone just use bank safes? (or do you hide stuff under your mattress?)

    Jump

  • I have all my important documents in a fire rated safe mostly because whenever I need to get one of them I remember "oh yeah I put that in my safe". I don't own anything valuable that could fit in the safe. As someone who works on safes though I would recommend anyone who wants one for burglary protection to bolt it down if possible and don't show anyone you have it. I've seen the aftermath people's 200+ pound safes dragged through the house and out the door. Also if you own guns and have kids I would absolutely recommend a safe to put them in. Check your local laws as well because here in California starting in 2026 gun owners can be charged if they don't have their guns locked securely and someone in their household who should not have access to guns gets access to their guns.

  • What's a subject you (think) you know more about than the average Lemmy user?

    Jump

  • Definitely a skill that decays quickly if you don't practice it. I don't do lockout calls so I always find I'm super rusty whenever I actually need to pick things for customers.

  • What's a subject you (think) you know more about than the average Lemmy user?

    Jump

  • Locks especially high security ones like Medeco. I am the most knowledge person about them at the locksmith company I work at which easily puts me above the average Lemmy user.

  • What items must you take with you every time you leave the house?

    Jump

  • Keys, wallet, phone, pick set (licensed locksmith and it comes in handy), pocket knife. Usually leave the last 2 at home if I am planning on going to anything with security checks.
