I think the "everyone anyone your pronouns" thing in email, slack, whatever is dumb. But if I lived in SD, I'd start doing it right about now.

States rights!!

(Republicans: not like that!)

Sure, I'll just travel to places to verify the source every time when I consume news. That's reasonable!

Don't let perfection be the enemy of good. I'm not suggesting we're don't have a really high bar, but 100% is just unreasonable.

I've been really happy with Kagi since switching.

Have you found any good private server sublemmies? Whatever we're calling them?

I drove a leaf for 3 years and it had 80 to start with and ended around 67. At the end, it was a pain, but didn't notice until around 70mi range. Somehow, 75 would get me from home, to the airport, to work, and back home again with room to breathe. At 67, it was nail biting.

To the point, 150 is probably good for quite a lot of people.

I've owned an electric since 2013, never run into a down charging station. Early on, I'd run into single chargers that were occupied, but that's it.

Not saying it's not possible to have a broken station, just never hit it. But I, like most people, charge at home, 95% of the time.

It's a common thing to say in context. As a headline though, it's absolutely click bait. "The Supreme Court is on the ballot" was heard over and over in 2016 which turned out to be 100% true.

You can only threaten to cancel if there's an alternative. I tried this and they were like: okay man, just be forewarned that there's a connection fee when you come back.

They were right, it was more $ to follow through with my threat and they knew it.

It can be worse, we had to add a captcha for those link scanners cause they'd submit the forms and invalidate tokens too:(

If I teach a class that needs a vm, I'm making damned sure everyone uses the same type.

Read this for an idea as to why people are against letting Meta federate: https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html

It's not a cut and dry yes or no for me.

Why wouldn't they?

I have to look it up every time, but this is always worth reading once a year to remind yourself:

I just had my screen replaced because the L in LCD started oozing all over. It was $2200 which didn't include the radio that cost an extra $500. So, not 10k, but not cheap either. On the plus side, outside of New tires, that's the only thing I've done to the car in 8 years.

We use Alma, which is basically Rocky. Before that, CentOS. Lots of people don't need or want the expensive support contracts.

OSS support though donations and commits is the way to go unless you get value out of those contracts (we would not).

It takes a vigilante to raze a village? That other way?

I used it before and still use it. No issues with my $5 linode.

Check out Onlyoffice. Just the client (not the server part)

WAY better

If you're thinking of something like $1-2/month, also consider doing a 30 dollar 1 time thing (it saves on transaction fees) and you basically just paid for 2-3 years of donations.

Pay to play was the problem there. I had the highest ranking joke page on webcrawler for a stint, but Yahoo wanted $500 to put me on top. My 15 year old self was not interested.

It probably was tested. I'll enjoy reading the post mortem they'll inevitably do. I'm going with, they tested it, but didn't text xyz that demonstrated the bug.

I think you meant YAGNI, but I dunno, YOLO might be a legit strategy for you too ;)

It depends on the state I've recently learned. Some states allow inheriting debt, others don't. Even some are in between allowing it for spouses only.

Ohh, that news story in "For All Mankind" makes a lot more sense. Alternate timeline, we didn't give it back.

10k every 10 years vs ? a new car every 10 years?

I wanted to downvote, but then I read it. While I don't accept the premise entirely, I think the points are very well made and thought out well (even if taken to the extreme).

Counter point, the other company pays better because they save on training costs.

3000 isn't much when it comes to onboarding costs, so I don't think that's why, but imagine if it cost 10k,20k, etc.

For clarity, I'm very much in favor of this ruling. But I also sympathize with the above reply.

There are many ways around this, like using intermediary services like PayPal or a privacy.com credit card with ephemeral numbers.

Crypto, while one way, is not the only way.

I don't think so in this context. This is probably more like SSL cert trusting or some private/public key pair.

Podman or Rancher Desktop

You might mention the library license of the underlying library, it's strictly non commercial meaning yours is too.

No idea why you're down voted for math :/

Gitlab really pissed me off with their paid plans for work. We moved to GitHub, and while that's not popular here, they offered everything we needed at nearly 1/4 the price.

Gitlab kept saying $99/user per month, no way to have different "classes" of users at different paid plans. Just awful.

I told them we were switching unless they came back with a fair offer. Ignored. Renewal time came up and I told them we weren't renewing... Oh NOW they want to bargain and try to retain us??? F right off. Microsoft might be the devil, but they offer a good product for the price.

I used to self host gitlab, but they kept putting things behind the pay wall. GG.

Self hosting, Forgejo all the way!!

Check out WeBoost brand repeaters. I live in what used to be a rural area and when we moved in the cell signal was trash inside the house but fine outside. Put an antenna outside on the roof, ran some coax cable to the kitchen and mounted a repeater there. No issues. Works for all major cell bands.

Using your link and a quick search about filial laws: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dallasnews.com/sponsored/2022/08/28/the-parent-trap-filial-responsibility-laws-cause-financial-havoc-for-children/%3foutputType=amp

"Most of the 30 states that have filial laws do not enforce them"

I guess I was lucky that my father and I did not live in one of those states. But, 100% agreed that it's beyond up that it CAN be a thing in some states. Seriously, wtf.

There are some reasons. Networking can get messed up, so Docker Desktop "fixed that" for you, but the dirty secret is it's basically a Linux VM with Docker CE and some convenience network routes.

I started cooking, period. My wife used to cook, now I do. It's weird, but the pandemic totally flipped our roles.
