Monkey With A Shell

Yeah, that’s the time I start jumping over the seat to pull a brake or something. Needs to be a hardware kill switch in the passenger reach here, no calling in or hoping some app works.

You can’t see him free or paid, so how can he be a big draw?

If it works as a basic post bot I guess there’s something to that, just seems and odd extra step when you’re already using a phone/computer that likely already has some kind of weather widget built in.

Why tho?

What’s the use case for a ActPub based weather info service that wouldn’t be adequately addressed by a basic API on an existing service?

Given the way he loves them alternate facts I’m bet that means he got up to 34% of the youth vote, which would be obscenely high in itself but not the ‘win’ he implies.

They may have the ability but they don’t have the appetite. The other side of it of course is that if we start doing things like that on one side the other will as well and then we have no functioning vote regardless because congress would just do whatever they feel like.

About 700 watts, it makes for a decent space heater in the winter.

Like others said, self signed or internal only domains work. Really though for the minimal cost of generally less than $20/year you can make it a lot easier by just buying a domain.

From a pure security stance it could be argued that a personally owned CA is more secure than any public one since it’s possible for others to create a trusted cert with a public entity. Cloudflare ends up doing that for any domains you register with them, but that’s really only an issue for things facing the web and using self signed certs will typically cause problems for any pre-compiled client apps you might use.

Pretty simple simple ‘castle & moat’ setup. Lots of firewall, IPS, dynamic threat, etc around it with separate subnets and all the usual biz. My ISP doesn’t use CGNAT so I’m lucky that way, though they did question WTF I was doing last I made a service call to them based on the bandwidth usage.

My two main boxes are split to be storage vs compute. The NAS box has a minimal CPU and a pile of 3.5 drives for the low cost storage and they hypervisor has all the CPU and fairly small storage.

Basically the goal in my setup is all the working data is in one place and the handling in another with various snapshots and RAID mixed in to avoid the risk of “oh shit did I just…?” situations.

So anything that could be called bulk data gets offloaded to the NAS directly via mounts and any cache/working data is held locally. If your lab space grows to a notable level over time eventually you need to consider disk I/O as part of the design and having the bulk data on another box let’s you effectively trade some network load in for disk load.

That’s a big part of the appeal of the fediverse for me. Setting up a personal site used to be fairly easy, but was largely isolated and unidirectional. With the AP protocol, and frankly a lot of self-hostable apps in general these days, you can make something to converse with the whole globe and you don’t even need to make a big effort to help people find it.

Webrings still exist, but finding them is less than trivial when they get drowned out by the noise of corporate sites. I’ve used IRC within the last year, but had to look up the proper use of nicserve commands. The old web mentality is still out there, but for the major part people want simplicity. Few want to go through the learning curve to deal with some of the more esoteric parts of it when they can just auth into a site and do a thing.

I tend to find the R820 behind me to be a pretty reliable host so long as you don’t mind footing the power bill to run it.

So is sounds like effectively his donation was supposed to force them to stay open and develop tech on the cheap that he could then take to use in his commercial systems.

Are they charged or convicted of a federal crime where a pardon is even relevant? It’s not a power to grant citizenships or a genie wish.

Now, the whole ‘president can down whatever they like as an official act’ that the SCOTUS gave recently is another matter…

But didn’t they already have a popup window asking if they’re old enough? That should have fixed it already.

If I’m not too far gone in understanding the attitudes of kids, chances are that most of them would simply ignore this kind of bullshit and let their peers use whatever room they like. It’ll put on a show for the slobbering masses that fret over it and nothing more.

Similar to why a recording of classic films are important. They serve as cultural touchpoints connecting individual experiences from a time and place long past. We retell stories from written literature for centuries and those are relatively difficult to preserve historically where video games are just a matter of storing a ROM on some file system

I didn’t mean that you where, but if the Latino population shifted their votes more R this year it seems an odd explanation that they where offended by the democrats shifting right on policies. If that was the case then why would they go in with people who are even more to the right?

I think this whole question needs another field to it for the turnout difference. It may be (not to keep picking on Latinos but) they made up 5% in 2020 and 6% in 2024, but is that of all eligible voters, or of those that actually showed up? If 1/2 showed up last time and 1/3 did this time, but the ones who showed up where the more conservative portion then it would look like they ‘shifted’ right, but it wouldn’t be real.

So the solution to not liking the democrat shift right is to join in with the side off the scale right? I’m not following the logic there…

Do some rough math say there are 200,000,000 total eligible voters.

2024 would have 12,000,000 male Latino voters 2020 would have 10,000,000 based on the 3rd column

Even if 100% went left to right at most you have a 12M shift.

That shift though in absolute numbers was far less than that though based on the R/D split, so not a tremendous impact over all.

There was just a lot less people showing up over all for any reason.
