I lost a beloved cat a few months ago that ran into the road. My security camera caught the whole thing.

“What if?” Is its own torment for us, but analytically, she simply wasn’t visible and there was nothing the driver could/should have done to prevent the horrible outcome.

There are in life no-win situations. It hurts, but it’s an adult realization. Cats go under cars to hide - to avoid being seen - and can’t grasp danger the same as humans.

I trust others math more. Comment removed.

Normally I would agree, but this administrations actions over the year entrenched police/military protections from citizens from the get-go and strategically targeted cities to incite retaliation. It is clear conflict with American citizens in some form is a desirable outcome.

Attacking SNAP was a calculated move, but outcome turned unfavorable so they are backtracking. Polish the turd with spin, and try something else.

If blaming Democrats actually stuck, they wouldn’t do shit. This is nothing more than a move to cover their own ass and broadcast their PR spin.

As much as I hate the man touching our landmarks and his horrendous “aesthetics”…

… are we jumping on the green tile bandwagon?!?

That’s a rough one to defend; right up there with carpeted bathrooms. Oof.

Edit 1 day later: Just saw a picture of the marble version. The images didn’t load when I read the article yesterday. Yikes. Green tile FTW.

I’ve been self hosting since 1998. My first non-website service was a VCR hooked to a firewire capture card running QuickTime server so I could watch TV in the computer lab at school.

Your internet radio thing was neat. Mine was called Green Frog Radio. No, it didn’t go anywhere. Definitely not licensed whatsoever.

I bought an Onkyo NetTunes amp that had Internet streaming built in, but it sucked and didn’t have any of the cool stations I liked. I got together with other nerds and we wrote a simple NetTunes proxy running mono that inserted our list of stations into the NetTunes server response. I hosted that for a while. All users had to do was configure their IP settings to add my address. It was a fun little project. Actually, I guess that was my first open source collaboration. Haha.

Sexwork aside, (not my thing) that sounds like a really nice vacation actually.

Every year for decades I take me time to unplug and get away from the grind. No digital devices, no cell service are major pluses.

Gave my family that tip before they went out. Some phones were left behind because they still track location when turned off.

They said there were lots of cameras out there, but of note was one car driving by with pricy equipment and government plates. Definitely cover faces.

Fight me. 😁

Incorrect. I was unemployed for a time and very burnt out. The churn still grinds you up and spits you out, shit paycheck or none.

Now I’m underemployed and still burned out. But at least it will take longer to go bankrupt.

No, this is totally the point. The wealthy can borrow cheap money now to buy up all the property people are losing in disasters and financial crises. Welcome to renter hell, peons.

Ugh. Damn.

I don’t like it either. But …

Third-Party Auditing: Incorporating rigorous, industry-leading third-party auditing standards to verify election integrity at every step."

… does sound like a good step. Give NPR/researchers access and only run audited code. It’s what we’d ask of Republicans if Democrats owned the company.

I’d still prefer open source.

I just got a UGreen unit and while it is taking longer to set up then I’d like, the interface is pretty good and docker was up and running pretty quickly. Traefik is a royal pita, but that’s a user problem since I never used it before and it’s my test system.

Yahoo! Congrats to the Immich teams and developers!

“Do you support president Trump and the values of Trump’s administration?”

And the ugly axe starts swinging.

There were enough pins and stripes in that room to understand ‘divide and conquer’ strategy.

So what’s it going to be? Stand up for the Constitution or bend over?

Bingo. I’ve used Synology for ages and while they dont last forever, I get a lot of use out of them and re-buy them usually with an upgrade in mind.

But the new hard drive policy broke that cycle. I don’t put up with that. I replaced one with a UGreen NAS last month. It’s too early to tell how I feel about it. Docker is there and containers spin up pretty easily. Rumor has it there is hardware support for video encoding too, though I haven’t gotten around to testing it.
