I don't know why there's more down votes than up votes, but I found the article interesting, even if it was a little light and fluffy.

This may not help at all, but I worked at a toxic workplace. I got good at recognizing when I was being manipulated. Eventually, I learned that if I hid the hurt and acted as if the jabs didn't hurt, it would send the toxic folks into a toxic rage, but the ironic part is that they could not complain to management about me not being affected.

One day, I was called from one of the people from a recorded line (certain customer facing phones were always recorded, you could even hear the beeps). After the call, I told my manager, we went to HR, who pulled the recording and that person was moved to another area. I left shortly after for other reasons.

This contradicts what I'm reading in that AI model costs grow with each generation, not shrink.

There's already some good discussion here. A little less drastic is a soft succession. It's already happened and is happening. The blog articulates it much better than i could, but the essence is that the US constitution already has been interpreted to give state laws a sort if priority over feseral laws. Additionally, states can apply financial pressure to the federal government.

Near rhe end of the blog he ponders whether this could result in a shell fedwral government.

I came here to see if it was the early signs of the demise of YouTube. I secretly want all these content producers to move to a privacy-respecting platform, especially those who produce tech or privacy related content.

Now, for why I don't watch videos anymore, the medium isn't as easily consumed by me. I prefer text. At home, it's noisy and I get interrupted every 90 seconds. I lose interest quickly and fast forwarding isn't as easy as scanning text for a topic shift. My mind wanders on some topics, internally exploring that topic deeper. With text, i can just stop reading. With video, i need to realize that I'm processing a thought and hit pause, then rewind a bit. I get interrupted a lot. On the bus, I need to remember headphones and I hate when people shoulder surf. That's harder to do with text. Give me a plain text RSS feed that I can read anytime.

What if this is not to sue The Guardian but as a way to disclose their sources so that they can uncover the sources of the leaks?

I'm loving all the Canadians in this thread.

If you're a kind person, there's always something to apologize for. I was taught a long time ago that it was OK to apologize, but that you should add " for..." to the end and if it still sounds OK then you should say it.

"I'm sorry for hurting your feelings." "I'm sorry that you don't enjoy the meal that I prepared for the family." "I'm sorry your face looks like an anus." "I'm sorry that you're too stupid to understand that I'm not complimenting you." ...and so on. This took an unexpected turn.

PS: I'll apologize in most confrontations as a way to de-escalate the situation.

I expected the whole comment thread to be like this.

I came here to say the same thing except that I have a pi locally and one at a relative's house. I back up to the local pi and a nightly cron starts rsync to pull my local copy.

I chose this so that i could control the rstnc start time, bandwidth and stop time but also so I could leave the remote network vanilla with no open ports, etc. With bandwidth limiting, it may take a few days to catch up from full backups, but a differential is same day.

Be sure to use a RO filesystem or overlay FS on the Pi card. I've had them go corrupt.

Sorry, I thought I'd bypass the web page and link directly to the video but something went wrong. I updated the link.

Here's an interesting discussion that underscores your point that the south won the civil war.

Edit: fixed link

Smoky Sun (lemmy.world)
 

Moving picture of the early morning sun affected by the smoke from the Canadian wildfires over a farm field. The levels have been edited slightly to match what my eyes saw.

The sun was an intense, piercing red and everything else had a smoky haze that was sharp on the nose, like deeply inhaled black pepper.

This is my first post to this forum.

 

I have an old PC running a couple of VMs and it has an old 19" display and keyboard for emergencies. It's text only (80x25, maybe), no Wayland. What cool thing can I put on the display? Are there any text based graphs or charts?

 

The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) published a paper in 1995 suggesting how outside mirrors could be adjusted to eliminate blind spots. This article expands on that paper.

I switched a few months ago. It took a while to get used to it, but I feel like I have a better picture of what's happening around me.

Have you tried this? Did you switch back?

 

I'm wondering if anybody has this working on their printer.

I have an Ender 3 Pro (v1.5) with the Creality v4.2.2 board. It's mostly stock. I'm looking to add the BigTreeTech Smart Filament Runout Sensor (v1.0). It's installed (plugged into the main board, not LCD), but will trigger a runout after a few minutes of a test print and then it seems to go into a loop where it triggers a runout after a few seconds of restarting. I've recompiled the firmware (Marlin) from these instructions. I saw a post on Amazon indicating that the cable needs rewiring, but can't find it anymore.

Before I go rewiring anything, I was wondering if anybody has this working in their setup and if they did anything different than the instructions.

I'm using the Marlin 2.1.2.5 config and updated the following config items:
FILAMENT_RUNOUT_SENSOR
FILAMENT_RUNOUT_DISTANCE_MM 7
FILAMENT_MOTION_SENSOR
NOZZLE_PARK_FEATURE
ADVANCED_PAUSE_FEATURE

 

I just joined after seeing another post. The attached is my go-to queso chip dip. It's also an ingredient in the crunch wrap. I like this recipe over the more complicated ones since I always have the shelf stable ingredients on hand and it mixes up in less than minute.

 

Does anybody here self-host a mail-by-proxy solution? If so, I'm interested to hear about your setup, experiences and any drawbacks. I have a custom domain and a hosted email service with a very small amount of storage. I'd like to host something locally so that I can keep all my email without stressing about the space. I also want to be able to use email on my phone and computer and a web interface for tablets or while traveling. Finally, I'd like emails that I send to be stored locally so I can search it. Does anybody else already do something like this? I can forge my own path, but oftentimes, somebody else is already doing it better.

 

How do you manage the distribution of internal TLS network certificates? I'm using cert-manager to generate them, but the root self-signed certificate expires monthly which makes distribution to devices outside of K8s a challenge. It's a PITA to keep doing this for the tablet, laptop and phones. I can bump the root cert to a year, but I'm concerned that the date will sneak up on me. Are there any automated solutions?
