I don’t want people to have glowing opinions or me or even be overly impressed. What I do want them to describe me with is that I cared. Maybe not for them, but in general. “He’s quiet and detached, but his actions showed he cares in his own way.”

I spend time around holidays creating little gifts for my dentist, doctor’s office, co-workers, and other places I visit. Why? Partly because I want to make a difference. I want to make an impact. Did my little gift brighten someone’s day? If it did then it was worth it. If it didn’t then better luck next year.

A selfish part of me wants it to be an expectation. That if I ever die or move on they might wonder why I stopped. That I might be remembered for it. I guess it’s just my way to leave my mark on the lives of those around me.

For recording you want to do noise cancelling in post, not realtime. Tenacity’s noise reduction works really well. Better to have a clean environment in the first place though.

It might take more than a few days. I asked my brother about a similar thing - he was a cheerleader and part of that is practically groping butts. He just said after a while the act in that context got desensitized and wasn’t an issue, but it was awkward until then.

Ueah I agree, and perhaps I over simplified with my “swing state” statement. My district was ~52% to ~46% in the presidential election. That’s close enough for me to stick with the program. The story is even closer for the 2016 one where I voted 3rd party.

As someone in a swing state, I made the mistake of voting third party once. As much as I’d love to be represented by someone outside the two parties shoved down my throat, the system needs major change before such a vote can actually affect the outcome.

Yeah if it’s just a basic input with a function call for spam or not spam the risk is low. What’s the worst case outcome, it tricks it into saying no it isn’t a scam and you have to delete it manually? Hahaha

Isn’t IONNA using their tech now? Or at least they are using some similar tech.

My house was built in 1999, my furnace in the attic is original. 27 years old and going strong. True every year I need to blow it to get it up and running, but compared to the alternative I’ll take it!

In a similar vein, the gas fireplace is also original and also going strong.

Whoops. Looks like I’m moving the last of my customers away from them.

If you’re reading it that way that says more about you than this post.

These statistical models are not capable of that. They are capable of self reinforcing s feedback loop of looking malicious but it’s ultimately just how the numbers align and has nothing to do with actual intent.

The benefit here is the software by design can’t read your traffic - it’s using SNI to route, not the host header, so SSL pass thru keeps the payload private. It’s billed as shareable for that reason.

Also this is open source and you can host it yourself.

Edit: I concede BakedCatboy’s point.

In either case I would probably just use FRP.

In the US at least, this is why you use a credit card. If your package gets lost in transit and the merchant refuses to remedy the issue, that’s a easy dispute for merchandise not received. It doesn’t matter what the merchant tells you, it’s their responsibility to ensure the merchandise arrives.

That being said, every shipping protection scheme I’ve personally seen is billed as a convenience feature - “less hassle”.

Just automated bullshit to try and detect and DMCA “infringement” automatically.

That’s how you end up with another Zuckerberg!

I’ve been using micro as well recently. But other than that if I’m on a remote server I’ll use whatever it has available, starting with nano then vi/vim.

I read this meme and was physically revolted and wanted to immediately down vote. Great job.

The superior date format is, of course, ISO 8601. YYYY-MM-DD.

I read about and see videos about the humans right violations that are happening in Pakistan, Ukraine, and other parts of the world and I know if I were put through some of that, having seen videos and read shit ain’t going to mean jack shit.

virsh destroy gives me so much anxiety.

No I just want to shut it down- oh that’s how I do it. So destroy won’t delete all the data?

I curse whoever decided destroy = shutdown.

Yes that’s good enough! Sorry I missed your statement about shutting down first. To clarify I leave mine running since a dump can recover if it gets corrupt.

Basically my backup contains the database and the SQL dump (or equivalent) - that way I don’t need to shutdown the service.
