I ran it on a Pi Zero W for a bunch of years, and it was as stable and problem free as it gets.

Early this year I swapped out my wifi/router for a minipc running OPNsense. I retired the pihole since OPNsense has Unbound built in.

I read one where the wifi password at a bar was “YouGottaBuyADrinkFirst.” So… customers would ask for the password, then buy a drink, then ask for the password again and be like “oh… you crafty bastard.”

Yeah, they know exactly where you stop, and if enough people stop at a key moment (think GoT Red Wedding), they might use that data to inform future decisions, but it’s a really mixed signal in this case. First, they have to be looking for “who stopped before the main event” as some sort of a signal. They might be, or they might look at it in the future, but like the previous person said, you’re counted as a view well before you get to that point. In their eyes, you’ve effectively voted in favor of Jake Paul because the main event is Jake Paul. It’s sorta like ordering a happy meal as a protest to MacDonalds and hoping they notice you didn’t eat the burger patty. There are clearer ways to protest, like not watching it in the first place, or canceling your sub.

Also, it won’t fuck with Jake at all. He’ll get paid either way, and there are probably a hundred other metrics his team will care about more than that one (if Netflix even shares that level of detail). Moreover, being controversial and polarizing isn’t a problem for Jake Paul. I’m sure they expect plenty of this sort of thing.

AdventureLog is pretty cool. Pairs with Immich nicely too.

Paperless NGX is awesome. Of course Immich. I also really like Firefly-iii and Home Assistant.

An even funner Southwest PR story is the Malice in Dallas. I don’t have a good resource to point you to, but you can google it. it was an armwrestling match between CEOs to settle a corporate dispute. The two companies holstered their lawyers and settled the grudge with a big PR event.

You probably already know this, but for others’ amusement… Southwest’s Pilot Training pathway program is called Destination 225, and I doub’t that many prople even in the airline business get the reference. So if nothing else, they’ve got a branding headstart.

I don’t remember where I watched the presentation. I think it might have been one of Brian Schiff’s videos, but I don’t remember. Here’s a link to it I found online. https://www2023.icao.int/safety/OPS/OPS-Section/Pages/Truenorth.aspx

Fun fact… there is an ICAO effort to “get rid” of magnetic headings for runway numbers. I listened to a presentation they did last year, and as much as I went into it thinking it wasn’t needed, I was a convert listening to them.

Btw, magnetic variation is pretty significant in some places. It’s 13 degrees where I am.

I don’t think any of them support RCS, for whatever that’s worth to you.

The only place I really miss that is with a fantasy football shit-talking group chat. Otherwise, I’ve tried to move away from SMS/MMS/RCS. It’s hard to pull people away from iMessage.

Neanderthal and troglodyte might work

So easy a caveman could do it.

Most settings on iphone only turn off the capability for you, not apple. Wifi is a good example. There is litereally no way to turn the radio off, and the settting merely prevents your use of Wifi while Apple still continues to use it in the background (for Find My mesh and location traction among others).

I’m like OP from a few months ago. I joined ML because it was easy and sorta anonymous. What’s the story on ML? Who defederated? What am I missing?

I gave it a look. And I’ll say that personally I’m not a big fan of card stack views, but that’s prob just me. The main reason I’m leaving the note here is to say that the app name bounding box in the cards seems to just truncates the app name. It works fine at 75% zoom, but at 100% zoom I only see the first 2 or 3 characters of the app name. Could be an artifact of the browser I’m using (Brave/MacOS), but figured I’d let you know.

It’s bonus depreciaton, not expenses, and it’s a business tax benefit, not an individual tax benefit.

Businesses can, and for a long time, have been able to deduct aircraft expenses. Nothing has changed there, and it’s not unique to this turd of a president. The return of bonus depreciation lets them depreciate faster, but again, depreciation is not new. It’s reasonable to removed about that, but you have to get every fact wrong to make that complaint.

I installed AIO on an old machine (retired gaming PC) a few months ago. I use NC notes and file sharing, and have disabled other services I don’t need. It’s running behind a proxy server. It’s worked fine so far. I use Immich for photos though, not Nextcloud. I heard a lot of gripes about Nextcloud for photos.

You can find some old Buster Keaton interviews on YouTube where he talks about the craft. Pretty good stuff.

Terminator, despite being a classic and massively popular movie of the time, is pretty bad by modern SFX & VFX standards.
The Thing (Jonh Carpenter) for a movie of the same era holds up impressivley well.

Are they that cheap?

The big screen. It’s a normal phone folded up, and almost an iPad mini unfolded. And it works surprisingly well. When I first saw the ads, I thought it was a stupid design. But after using it, I’m a fan.

It’s also nice to have a device I can set up with the software I want, and have sensible controls that work. I don’t miss iOS at all.

Because they have held a very high standard for a very long time. It is one of the few “brands” of reviews that has remained trustworthy over the years. They only award a star to excellence; nothing in the guide is bad. Indeed there is lots of good food that’s never mentioned in the guide.

I bought a pixel 9 fold to run GrapheneOS. I didn’t consider running stock android, and wouldn’t use a Samsung phone if you gave it to me.

Apple doesn’t really offer anything comparable in screen size or form factor, so it’s hard to compare in some ways. I like the fold quite a bit, but it has it’s quirks. The Qi/magnetic charger is trash, battery life is just ok, hardware doesn’t appear as durable as the iphone, and there aren’t great case options for the fold, and the cases that have a mag charger option have it in a place that makes magsafe accessories not fit in the right spot (they hang off the bottom a little).

Graphene has it’s own set of quirks that take a little getting used to. But overall I’m loving it. The only real sucky thing is that the keyboards are different enough that I can’t type for shit.
