Just handing them money? No, I don't. I don't have much myself.

But I do work in a downtown area near a shelter and see a lot of the same people pass by every day. I'll give them cold water and extra food if I have it. Certain others I will let go through my scrap metal for stuff they can sell to recyclers, and occasionally I'll hire someone for the day to help me clean.

I still feel like a dick setting in my air conditioned truck ignoring the person setting outside in 100F+ weather with a "help me" sign.

I imagine it's like driving a Reliant Robin

The other one is blasting a 1sq mile radius with music from a vehicle.

That kinda goes back to the OP's title. It wouldn't be as bad if it didn't sound terrible. I miss the early 00s when every 3rd or 4th car had giant subwoofers. I may not like what you're playing but at least it sounds decent.

We need agitators.

the point when I can convince myself that the occasional slowness and downtime are reasonable

Small instances probably aren't for you. If that was my main concern, I'd stick to major servers with more than just a couple people running it.

Personally I'm here for the atmosphere. Feels like the old internet. And as someone who has been around for the entirety of the internet; sometimes shit doesn't work and you have to go do something else for a while.

Monthly recurring donation here. No ragrets.

It’s easily in the top spot for worst money I’ve ever spent on anything.

Seriously? The donation you made to a small instance is even in the ranking for worst money spent? Because there isn't 100% uptime? You, my friend, must be a savvy shopper.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_McElroy

McElroy was shot and killed in broad daylight as he sat with his wife Trena in his pickup truck on Skidmore's main street.[2] He was struck by bullets from at least two different firearms, in front of a crowd of people estimated as numbering between 30 and 46.[1] Despite the many witnesses, nobody came forward to say who shot him. To date, no one has been charged in connection with McElroy's death.

At the moment, about all you can do is let others know and submit the log to EFF so they can better understand how these stingrays are being used.

Or I guess if you're feeling froggy; look around for a van/trailer with suspicious antenna(s).

You can help

I flashed a $10 orbic to take to local protests.

No, they are spider bros. They kill brown recluses, black widows, and other things that are dangerous. Typically do not mess with humans unless seriously provoked.

Yes. Sharkbite connectors are great for fitting new and old plumbing together.

 

Found this in the attic of a house built a few years before Oklahoma's statehood. Looks old, but also looks like a reproduction of something old. It's at least old enough to be super brittle and has tannin staining on the back where it was mounted to a piece of wood for a LONG time.

 

Lil' Smokies doesn't come out too often. She's usually in her attic lair being antisocial.

 

Sorry, I'm sure this has been asked recently but I can't find it while searching.

Are there any web based lemmy clients (like alexandrite) out there that allow post filtering by keyword? I'm not as concerned about filtering comments, but that would be nice as well.

And if it has to be an app, any suggestions for a linux desktop?

 

PC A and B are running Fedora 41, both on the same local network. I used to be able to use KRDC to remote desktop from PC A to B. After letting both PCs update a couple weeks ago, it's no longer working. When I try, I get the username and password prompt. But after entering, I get a "Could not connect to server" error in KRDC. I get the following errors in the terminal:

KRDC: Starting RDP session

Unfortunately I don't know what update broke it. I just hit 'update all' and walked away. Thanks for any help. Also open to suggestions on any better remote desktop programs.

After seeing articles about this I checked my cat's microchip on www.aaha.org no registration info comes back. Savethislife was a major pet registry in the US.

Main heat isn't working until the repair guy hopefully comes tomorrow. Supposed to be in the 20's (F) tonight; hope 3 cats and a (electric) blanket are enough.

spoiler explanation

Edit: Heat is fixed. I'll miss you cats.

 

Mutually Assured Destruction

 

Looks like he's getting lined up on a bun sized starting gate.

Moving soon, gonna miss you buns. While I'm pretty sure I could catch them all. I don't think moving in then releasing a bunch of wild rabbits into the neighborhood is a good way to say hello.

 
 

I can't read instructions and ended up with an extra from eneba. I'm too lazy for the refund process; But I will trade it for a photo of your pet, or the neighbors pet, or a bird that hangs out in your yard, favorite garden spider, etc. As long as you are willing to sign an affidavit stating you have given this animal pets or made friendly noises in it's direction. First message meeting this criteria gets it. Only have one, Sorry.
