I've had two car break-ins.

The first time, I couldn't even reach a human. The machine on the phone line told me to file a police report online. It was like, name, date, what happened, upload picture, send. Never heard anything back.

The second time, I went to the police station and—was told to file a police report online... same as last time. Nothing happened.

Interesting. I'm saving this for later.

Oh, neat! I recently switched and it's been great!

As a long time Google Docs user, I downloaded Libreoffice (again after many years) 6 months ago—and it's been great! Come on in, the waters fine!

The American dream is an all time amazing piece of propaganda that has left every American imagining that one day, through hard work, they will become the oppressor

Wow, yeah. Well put. This is why they only care about "winning".

unless you regularly haul things, you don’t need a truck of any size. Unless you regularly go off-road or are transporting 5+ people and a dog or more, you don’t need an SUV. You can rent one of those for the rare times you need it!

Maybe... but why not go further?

Unless you regularly transport more than 1 person, you don't need a car. You can rent one of those for the rare times you need it!

Buy a motorcycle or bike instead?

I've seen the status code in a JSON response before: https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/json_api/v1/status-codes#401-unauthorized

One reason I can think of for including it is that it may make it easier for the consumer to check the status code if it's in the JSON. Depending on how many layers of abstraction you have, your app may not have access to the raw HTTP response.

Although, yeah you lose the single source of truth though.

2 month review: It mostly works fine!

Cons:

  • The software is definitely missing UI/UX features
  • The software definitely has minor-to-medium bugs (especially bluetooth... and OS crashes...)
  • The hardware quality definitely isn't great

Pros:

  • It plays music!
  • It has a headphone jack
  • Battery life is decent (can go about 5 days without needing recharge, standby works great)
  • UI is snappy
  • Loading music onto it is easy
  • It's open source

Normally, I search for an album and then play the album. That works 100% fine on wired headphones.

Simple use case. It works. I don't regret buying this (yet).

I am super duper hoping they keep working on the code though. The software definitely needs more attention.

I definitely hear "hotcakes" in Mexico City. Ironically, we say "panqueques" in US Spanish.

panqueques

Interesting. In US Spanish, we also call them "panqueques". However, when I go to Mexico, I hear people call them "hotcakes" (in English).

Neat. I've been getting more curious about WebDAV recently. Also, great website! Thanks for posting!

 

Are home alarm systems worth it? I'm talking about something like ADT or Vivint, with window and door sensors, and automated police calls.

Are those monthly subscriptions worth it? Do you guys have them? Does anyone have any stories where having an alarm system made a break-in situation better? Are they just snake oil?

 

I found some thread on the Discord saying that you should

install using abroot should be the Best option

But then nobody posts how to do that...

Have any VanillaOS 2.0 Orchrid users here successfully installed Tailscale?

 

I'm trying it out for the first time and reading the handbook here: https://docs.vanillaos.org/handbook/en/updates

However, I noticed the page says:

This guide is for Kinetic (22.10), not Orchid.

And when I tried running command to check for updates, I got this.

$ vso update-check
Error: unknown command "update-check" for "vso"
Run 'vso --help' for usage.
  ERROR   unknown command "update-check" for "vso"

I could wait for the normal update job to run, but I'm being impatient. :)

 

Again. From the beginning.

 

The full quote in dirty imperial units:

I live my life a quarter mile at a time. Nothing else matters: not the mortgage, not the store, not my team and all their bullshit. For those ten seconds or less, I’m free.

– The Fast and the Furious

How was this translated to metric?

 

How often does Organic Maps pull map updates from OpenStreetMap? Can I manually trigger the update or do I have to wait? Does the update happen automatically or do I have to delete the current map data I have and then redownload it?

 

I've been messing around with Magic Earth and Organic Maps recently.

I immediately noticed that when I type a home address in Magic Earth, the app can take me to the exact house on the block.

However, when I type the same home address in Organic Maps, the app can only take me to the street where the house is. It can find the exact house.

Why is this the case? I thought both Magic Earth and Organic Maps used the same map data behind the scenes...

 
 

I have pretty simple, straightforward finances. I don't need any pro features.

Does anyone have any shoutouts for their preferred tax preparation software?
