Not Op here, from what I've read is that the answer to that question is unknown but he showed a significant tolerance for some. Does that make it himself fine? In my book: yes.

For me personally it was enoughto leave the project behind as it's so closely tied to the person.

That's a call everyone needs to do for themselves though if course

As your perception sounds quite negative I'll try to change your view!

Instead of looking down on people fanatifally following a "celebrity", take pity on them:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasocial_interaction

In short: their brain chemistry tricks them into thinking that they are following a friend and have the emotional reactions and interests as we'd hope our real friends do.

I find it really sad to be honest.

The first link goes into amazing detail on that. In short: all your information concerning location as well as current IP and some other metadata gets send to a basically unknown company with no transparency on how that data is handled.

I highly recommend reading the first, linked post though!

Two more things to add: you get downvoted not for the content but for the tone. People tend to not respond well to abuse, even if verbal - and at least I read a "make this shit work for me" in between your lines.

And more important: what you are asking is not easy. Wouldn't be on windows, wouldn't be on macos (disclaimer: I've never set up the arr stack on either but docker runtimes) . You are diving into server software no matter if you're the only user or not. Either you accept this and the learning curve ahead of you or you give up on it.

I strongly disagree. The burden of proof lies with the one making the claim and this bot has zero transparency regarding its benchmark, database or other criteria. That combined with the fact that it's usage (apparently exclusively) seems to be highly pushed is enough to stay sceptical.

Personally I just blocked it but I have full understanding for anyone downvoting it, simply to communicate "I disagree with the existence of this bot in this context"

Because a Ponzi scheme revolves around paying past people with fresh money without using it as promised at all.

Insurances (when fraudulent) collect money but don't pay out anyone unless forced by lawsuits. Ponzi schemes are s vers specific financial tactic.

Oh your description is fitting but the headline is... Well I perceive it as poisonous, especially with the knowledge that headlines are often the only thing being read.

Sorry for that hazzle! My story is quite different but exactly the same: my father in law "didn't get around" to do backups and lost his HDD full of important photos and documents.

That said: I'm quite sure that there are huge regional differences. Without knowing your country just keep that in kind.

I phoned around several companies. I had a simple first benchmark: either directly speak with a tech savvy person (big plus) or being forwarded to one.

That eliminated already half of them who had more business than tech.

The important thing to look out for in hindsight is their transport standards, i.e. how does the broken disk get to them and how does the rescued data get back?

Be careful of companies who have the potential to take the disk hostage ("we give a quote after first analysis").

Paying per file rescued sounds weird to me because that's not how the rescue process usually works from what I understand.

The company I went with was very upfront about the best and worst case what to expect, etc. They were very transparent about the risks and their process as well.

Nearly all of the critical data was rescued and delivered on an encrypted disk. The key was handed out after final payment - a process I quite liked.

In short: talk to the people and find a way to figure out whom you trust most.

User perspective:

If you want something big I'd pitch nixos. As in the core distribution. It's a documentation nightmare and as a user I had to go over options search and then trying to figure out what they mean more often than I found a comprehensive documentation.

That would be half writing and half coordinating writers though I suspect.

Another great project with mixed quality documentation is openhab. It fits the bill of more backend heavy side and the devs are very open in my experience. I see it actually as superior in its core concepts to the way more popular home assistant in every aspect except documentation!

That said: thanks for putting the effort in! ♥

Wait why are complaining about the stupid devices of others instead of your one that doesn't allow you to manage its connections?

I would be furious at my stuff doing stupid shit not that of others.

I would. Well not against the individual athletes but against their country of origin. Countries screening would need to be better than the IOC ones or en par.

The basic framing is: "your boss fucked up, you're part of the fallout".

An alternative would be to allow all doping.

But at the moment the approach is to reward the smartest cheaters and at least for me removed all interest for most sport events.

Is there anything to support this? I couldn't find anything that really has this intend documented and Intel weren't the only on pushing for usb as the most simple protocol possible ( I recall a lot of excitement about the "u" part.. How naive at least I was back then!).

I'm not knowledgeable enough to really argue against it, looking simply from an Okham point of view as "they wanted everything to connect" - the printer in the same way as that PDA.... Plus Intels de facto (IT) world domination at the time it just seems unlikely.

Edit: some sentences didn't make even less sense, fixed.

How about "what I want is beyond my comprehension"?

That's quite often my default...

Both langchain as well as ollama run locally and are open source.

To be very frank: your post sounds like fear mongering without having even clicked on the link.

Uhm I don't know your cultural background but at least around where I am the "own limitations" part is a crucial element of the therapy aspect. Accept your own limits to and work with your strengths.

Managing and accepting restrictions is what is thought here for therapists (at least the fields I'm in closer contact with.

This "widely knowing" people are at least not scientists as the last meta study I am aware of basically says "not enough data": https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7265021/

That said: there is a high risk of discussing local variations on various therapy approaches and it's even highly likely I'd guess that you're absolutely correct for your medical cultural background and my lense is highly dissorted (from your pov) by my own.

That is a very good point which I haven't considered!

Thanks :)

Who should do this vetting though? The internet was built up with the idea of technical neutrality - everything else came on top. TLDs came later and were used to either describe the origin of a page or its intended(!) use. That leads to the case that not only can a propaganda outlet mark itself as "info" - it's actually historically correct to do so as it's about what the host wants to communicate.

ICANN, the organisation behind the TLDs, actually always struggles with this btw. A more recent example was the decision which domain should be reserved for local name services. It took y long time (I think years overall) to get to: .internal (edited, brainfart)

In case you don't actively check back in the thread: there's a white in depth answer now what gear the is and why the person answering "yes" is very likely wrong.

Worth a read!

That's not how I would get a discography, a non YouTube artist (some international ones), a whole album or lossless though - or am I mistaken?

And France has a shitload of jobs!

I bet that even your ass is still on your backside so three of three wrong.

It's not about "stupid" for me but about the amount of loadedness in a question. There are indeed no stupid questions - but there are stupid assumptions.

Even one answer from. OP in it's often easy to see if they want to generate knowledge of search confrontation.

I use lemmy in two ways: Whitelist: show me my subscriptions and only those (subscribed) Or blacklisted: show me everything else except the things I want to never see.

The latter lead me to this thread! It's two different experiences for me and I get a bit out of my interest bubble from time to time.

For me it's very simple: NSFW can't have a general acceptable definition because it depends on culture, background and personal beliefs. There is no way for a collection of communities to have a common definition and even if they would have: enforcement and interpretation is still done by volunteers.

Therefore All is never safe for work unless I know that my tolerance is lower than all communities within lemmy AND I'm fine with an accidental penis or breast due to human error.

Why a limit at all? I see it as our role to share just as we received it from others who shared with us.

If space is needed remove the ones with the lost existing seeders instead of some ratio goal.

Keep each torrent alive!

"Being a router" is what they are good for! Even needed.

Edit to be more specific: two switches in each of the 10gbit and redundant uplink would be a setup I can see, depending on your line.

No overkill there :)

Hm I was clearly wrong, I apologize! The excuse is that I was really tired and already quite "clickbait state of mind" ish.

Thank you for taking the time to write this! ♥

This comment is so wild to my non US eyes. I had to convert the sqft you gave because I missremembered. Friends of mine are family with two kids and live in a bit more than half that space (80m2) - and are not the exception from what I know.

To see 130m2 "too small for the family" is really weird and I'd love to see/understand where the differences come from. I guess that even how the space is calculated might have an impact. Really fascinating!

Thanks for sharing!

Weil if that isn't the consequences of your choices.

Seriously I'm sorry for you individually that you were delayed that way - it reminds me of my fellow Linux gamers complaining about incompatibility though - while running Nvidia cards.

Macs are amazing pieces of hardware - and the price one pays is that one has to accept that some devs don't want to climb the wall into that walled garden.

When "reasonable" deviates on every major setting then it's not possible to provide a sane default. Both i3 and hyprland have example configurations - I have yet to see two identical configs in the wild.

You have it the other way around: it is aimed at people for whom there can't be a sane default because of the highly individual wants.

If you don't intend to adjust your environment to your workflow that's fine - there's KDE and gnome for a reason.

Lemmy.world is blocked by beehaw as well...

That's a great question, thank you! It made me dick (edit: standing by my mistake!) a (tiny) bit deeper. I took a different perspective and the tldr is: Do you want to kill specifics? I.e. local plants, animals, water poisoning, etc - then mercury is the winner!

If you're after killing via global temperature variation then the car is.... Well... Killing it.

But on a serious note: both are bad but depending on how your local trash is handled those small bulbs could actually have an impact, most likely via the water chain.

If those are the two options I had I would just store them like OP. But then again where I live most shops take those back to recycle them properly.

Thanks again for the question, I had a fun few minutes!

The systematic change you describe would make sure that people are "on time" though, just redefining on what that meaning.

Being "on time" I understand as one of two things:

  • Being in a place you agreed to be at a time you agreed to.
  • Something happens for a lot of people and it was announced beforehand that this will do.

The first one is your responsibility, the latter is impossible to make in a way that works for everyone.

I don't understand how this "change" should look like, what you'd expect people to do for meeting each other and events.

Of course I'm fine with "I take public transport I'll be there between four and six" as a statement for punctuality. Beyond that though?

Have exactly the same setup:

It tunnels everything that is bound to the same network (see the line with gluetun within the qbittorrent container.

And for anyone using a reverse proxy: that can run against the gluetun container with the bound containers port. (edit: in OPs example gluetun:8090 for qbittorrent web)

You have several long and comprehensive answers so please allow me to add an emotional one:

Fucking compile error in hour six of what you estimated to be a four hour compile job because of a mistake you made that you found within 5 seconds after the error!!

Fucking why doesn't this compilation start I can't find my mistake for hours?!

Where does this module come from?! What do you mean "root kit"? Learning was fun!

It all was fun! :)

That's still like a hundred to one or even way worse. We can simply shove in (group reader doesn't like) until they are so full that they can't move any more and then pile on each individually and still have a few billion people preparing the lion BBQ for afterwards.

The numbers gap is ridiculously huge!

I get what you're saying - from the article and your comment I couldn't name the group of people that it discrimates against though.

Perhaps that's a different legal blah blah but where I'm from you can only discrimate against a protected group of people (race, religion, disability, gender are the ones I am aware of).

Discrimination would be a tough sell - and a "you're creating a divide" would likely be met with a "well discuss that with your supervisor, this is a decision based on individual and team circumstances" - which leads then to the issues described in the OP.

I would be delighted if someone could bring more efficient HR confronting arguments!

Wow thanks a lot for that!

Makes sense, thanks for pointing it out!

I'm just saying that I see that those two statements can exists at the same time without a huge mental leap - not that I agree with it - I apologize if I didn't make that clear enough in the first post!

I read it like:

Mimic, pace of tone and body language are parts of the work.

That they don't hit the main part (I.e the humor) is just the icing.

Perhaps I'm top lenient though.
