Sign reads: “No Dogs, ICE or other animals allowed”

This brand of argument is basically ‘If you can’t do everything perfectly, then it is pointless to do anything especially the thing that you’re suggesting.’

You see this person in every thread on every topic where people discuss things that they can contribute their expertise to. Their message is ‘it is hopeless, your plan won’t work, give up what you’re doing, you don’t stand a chance’.

Honestly, and forgive the langue, but fuck those people. You know what your strengths are and what you’re capable of, not some faceless bot pushing violent political rhetoric who is, by its own admissions, not in the US.

If you don’t want to participate in the tech landscape as it exists today, there is absolutely nothing wrong about avoiding it entirely and building something else. Companies will not be so complacent about their position in the market if they know there’s a completely Free alternative that does everything that they charge a subscription for.

The people who are doing self-hosting today are exactly like the early adopters of the smartphone or any other technology. There’s always people trying new things and sometimes they succeed.

People who are using privacy focused approaches to personal technology, like self-hosting, are beta testing the ability to use cheap, mass produced hardware and open source software to build a product ecosystem that meets their needs. That progress is enjoyed by anybody in the future who decides they also want to leave the walled gardens of Tech Giantopia.

Also, Trump has probably already pre-ordered his next wife considering how old the current one is… she hardly looks like his daughter anymore.

RaspberryPi4 is cheap and will play essentially any media.

You can also use Filebot to ingest files that have Caribbean sailor names and put the into a Jellyfin-compatible directory structure, renamed correctly.

I don’t think ABC is going to pick this one up, the satire press seems like a fitting place to report it.

It gets weirder the longer you look at it.

Sure, let’s just say the guy was overzealous with the (silicone caulk? lol) adhesive compound. Maybe the white cord is DC power, replacing the battery… but the red wire that’s right beside the ‘power’ wire is a USB cable plugged into the phone’s USB port.

What is plugged into the other end? It’s Zalgo isn̴̝̂’̶̯̾ṭ̷̆ ̶̫̈i̷̹̚t̴̩̉?̶͊͜

Honestly, if someone is just looking to get started cheap and easy, buying a pi and installing pi hole is a great first project that has immediate positive returns. Adding more services can be easy (if you used containers) and expanding to add more services is cheap.

Then, when you decide to spring for a server box, those Pis can still be useful as home automation devices. For example, they can control a decent amount of programmable LED strip lighting. Attached to a sensor shield, a solar panel and battery it can do atmospheric monitoring outside (while also controlling your driveway lighting) while being easy to integrate into HomeAssistant.

If you need to retire it, you can throw some emulators on it (retropi), load it up with a few thousand ROMs and donate it to a place that buys kids toys for holidays/their birthday.

I’ll pray for him

Hasn’t he suffered enough?

I mean, they already forced him to change his letterhead and signature. What more do you people want.

He has to live the rest of his life in a mansion with only 50 rooms and have all of his expenses covered by his relatives. I bet he hardly gets to rape any children now also.

RPing when shot and going down. “Help me sarge! Gah. It-it hurts!”

The chopper pilots that spent the entire match ferrying people from base to the front while blasting the weirdest song mix you’ve ever heard.

We don’t talk about partisan infected topics

Same, I enjoyed the gameplay but every item drop was far less exciting because I’d need to pause and consult a wiki before making a choice.

I was just guessing (it’s how I’d do it) 🥳

Maybe each server shows up as a library. Like “Server 1 - Movies”

Kind of annoying but less so than swapping servers and search should work

I learned that the PC that I played pirated games on got a lot more popups

Mastercard has finally gone too far

We can finally walk the streets without fear

I can tell you’re a redneck because you can’t read and you argue like your parents are first cousins. Come stuff it for me, sugar.

It looks like you’re reading from the same ignorant script as the last person(?) to reply:

• Ignore what someone said
• Make up something that sounds outrageous
• Respond to them as if they said the thing you just made up
• Internet tough guy comment

Where did I say that?

It does seem like a pretty clear fact that people have different views of that flag than others. Is this incorrect?

Unfriending someone because they try to explain why that could be and their explanation isn’t what you want to hear is childish.

Treating any issue like your viewpoint is the only acceptable one and anyone who believes anything different is wrong and evil is such an ignorant, simplistic way to view the world.

As is putting words in someone’s mouth so you can feign outrage at something that you made up.
