Native OIDC support…something I wish more self hosted apps would prioritize. I shouldn’t need to maintain a bunch of user account systems on my own servers.

This isn’t about image or ideology for Putin, though he definitely can’t afford to lose face either. This has always been about proving he could have won the cold war if people had just listened to him. This involves returning direct control, or at least very close alliances with his pawns in charge, with all of the former USSR territories. And winning against the West, though I’m not sure what criteria he has on that side of things besides bringing the US under his indirect control which he’s half way there.

There are tons of these Christian cults around all over the world. People just ignore them because they think Christianity is “one of the good ones”. But they ignore the fact that it has all the same bad things they complain about from other religions and it just takes a leader to emphasize those bad things to convince people those things are “good” because everything in a “good book” from a “good god” must be right and good. It would really help if the people who keep pushing for Bible classes in schools would actually read the whole thing.

Lower taxes is good for home owners, too. It’s only those wanting to profit from housing prices in the short term who are hurt. The prices will go back up and as long as you are selling and then buying if you move, and the prices are going down across the board, you won’t lose anything.

The only negative really other than for investors is for retirees who need to sell to have money to survive.

And I say this as someone who purchased a home in an overpriced area a couple of years ago. The value has slightly declined and I’d love to see it further decline so I could pay less in taxes. In 15 or 20 years when I’m ready to sell it will be plenty valuable.

Termius

Not just Android, I want a cross-platform ssh client that shares keys. Termius is probably overkill for that, but I haven’t found anything else that works on Linux and Android. The real issue that made me stop paying for it is that for rpm based Linux I have to use the snap version and snap is buggy as heck with multitasking.

Yeah, they’re supposed to serve the people who bought the politicians. /s

Many times. It has been a fairly common theme. My dreams that I remember tend to be extreme emotional dreams. Either nightmares that I commonly had as a kid. Falling in love which was especially common as a teenager. And yeah, the extreme heartbreak is real. Music, which is connected closely to emotions for me and often manifests as beautiful symphonies that I wish I could immediately write down because damn I could probably make money off that s***. Flying or being under water and not drowning and the weight being lifted and the emotion of freedom tied to those. Etc.

Unfortunately, the US is now fully reliant on SpaceX for access to space now that they decided to rely on corporate spacecraft rather than building our own and Boeing has proven themselves unreliable since that change was made, and now that they finally have a craft they ended up stranding astronauts on the space station until SpaceX can rescue them due to defects. Plus we can’t use Russia like we did after the shuttle program ended but corporate space travel wasn’t there yet. And SpaceX isn’t publicly traded to where it might be possible that enough investors could pressure Musk to cave.

So I doubt anything will come of it. Brazil will rattle their sabers. Musk will stand his ground, and the US will stay on Musk’s side while pretending as much as possible to be staying out of it.

Sounds like he’s setting up a defense as it being an official presidential act and thus him being immune from prosecution based on the blanket immunity that SCOTUS recently gave to presidents. So he’ll admit to it, be immune, and let everyone else get prosecuted for knowingly following him.

The one positive to wearing contacts all the time is that my eyes are mostly protected from UV. I always think how cool that is even if I still avoid looking directly at UV lights out of caution.

Greatly depends on the type of alcohol. Since aging usually makes things more expensive and generally it greatly reduces the bitterness and alcohol “sting” as well as increasing the flavor from barrel woods and other additives, things that are aged often take a big jump in quality along with the big jump in price.

But outside of aging, you’re definitely on the money. The stuff that’s 25-50 is usually the best bang for your buck. The more expensive stuff is usually inflated by marketing like good advertising to make it popular or gimmicks like fancy bottles.

Yes.

Many products are now whipped to increase the volume with less product as a form of shrinkflation and/or include ingredients to reduce ice crystal formation from repeated melting and refreezing to reduce waste and the impact of understaffing in supply chains and grocery stores that lead to product being left out for extended periods. Haagen Dazs recently finally converted all of their flavors. The plain vanilla and vanilla swiss almond were a few of the last ones to change. But it’s been a slow progression of different manufacturers over the last couple of decades really.

It’s sad because ice cream is my favorite dessert. I eat a lot of it, or at least used to. There are only a few brands with a few flavors remaining that make good “hard” ice cream outside of ice cream shops. But the good shops are so expensive.

Too much soap. Especially if it’s a high efficiency washer.

Infrastructure funding for other transportation modes combined with less subsidizing of gasoline.

Problem is there’s no marketing money to make the better platforms more widely known because there’s not as much monetization of the users to fund it.

It’s not social media that is the problem. It’s capitalism. Social media is no different from the snake oil sales person, door to door sales people or Avon parties of the past. The problem is that kids aren’t educated about how to deal with capitalistic greed that will do everything to convince you something is wrong with you in order to sell you the cure and are then allowed access to the Internet without that education. And the sales people don’t face any consequences for marketing to children because they just pretend not to know and don’t have to look them in the eye, so it’s easier to be unethical without consequence.

Street legal doesn’t mean incapable of violating noise regulations if misused just like speed laws or any other traffic laws. Most gas engine cars can produce extreme amounts of noise just not when used as intended for driving on streets.

Yeah, you definitely should run it on a separate machine. A home NAS itself probably shouldn’t be doing anything beyond serving files and basic maintenance. Using them for too much will reduce their ability to serve data fast enough. Just be sure the media server and NAS have appropriate network cards, preferably gigabit, though even 100Mbit probably is enough for most of your network isn’t already too busy, and ideally are connected to the same switch (again preferably gigabit) with good quality network cables.

1200sq ft only worth $300,000? 🤣 My 820 SQ ft home on 1600 SQ ft of land cost nearly $880,000 a few years ago, and is currently valued at 1.2 million on redfin, though that’s ridiculous. And it’s pretty average quality, just in a relatively nice neighborhood in a major city on the US West Coast. It’s insane.

Not in my experience. They mostly want to take public transportation away because of taxes. Of course they don’t realize that cars cost them way more in taxes between gas subsidies, needing wider and more roads, needing more police to deal with traffic, property damage, and deaths rather than real crime, etc… Not to mention higher insurance rates as traffic increases and maintenance costs.
