Ahh another sophisticated LetsGameItOut enjoyer. Right on. :D

“Got it, got it, goooot it…” (DrKonqi coredump) “Perfect!” (Fanfare)

self driving cars specifically because they can’t strike.

Unless it’s pedestrians, the backs of trucks, road signs, irregular barriers, animals…

That’s brilliant engineering but also…I wonder how common some kind of reverse-dud would be?

“Oh cool it’s probably inert because that was MONTHS ag–”

So…it obvs doesn’t directly impact / punish China like they’re trying to say it would, right?

But is the idea that U.S companies would be incentivized to move manufacturing elsewhere? (Like domestically? HAHAHA YEAH RIGHT anyway…)

Guys should I be using my limited income to upgrade my equipment now before everything is like 30% hiked? :(

(No I’m not an expert in globo-economics)

This is sad, and I can see why they’re telling him no.

Because chances of finding it are slim, and chances of finding him if he shovels himself into some kinda garbage-pile-sinkhole void are also probably pretty slim!

I feel this way about 3 binders of mint never-played OG Pokemon cards I collected as a kid. I remember them exactly. Had my name on the cover with stickers and everything. The box just disappeared when I had to move numerous times in a short period.

I often rack my brain and curse the loss, especially because right now I’m your statistical millennial struggling to make money appear. It would’ve been worth a lot. I kinda hate the idea of trading cards these days because of it lol.

(To be fair, I just hate speculative markets, the hobby that inevitably overtakes every other hobby like a Tyranid swarm)

But at this point, this poor guy seems utterly consumed by his own greed.

In the words of Sean Connery as Dr. Jones Sr. in “The Last Crusade”:

“Lehttit goh, Shon.”

Money is the root of all evil. Perhaps our mistake is not losing the rest of Bitcoin unrecoverable in a nameless landfill…

I think it also might scream volumes about our society, that someone is driven to obsessive madness over the value of an encased metallic platter full of code nobody can make tangible use of. People must chase after imaginary riches to feel secure.

(TINK!) “Reel it in!!”

“Soooo do you want the good news or the bad news…?”

I was going by the vagueness presented in the article but that’s an entirely fair assessment, yeah!

Man this picture is such a vibe lol. Love it. :D

That’s so weird at first look on this picture I was like: “What’s O…P…D? 🤔” LOL

Simple, elegant, rock solid. Very nice. :) Love your decals too!

Wait I see EMT piping for that printer frame… Did you convert an Anet A8 to an “EMT-8” like I did!? :D

Just seemed like a neat coincidence!

The stock A8 was such a scary fire hazard lol.

OMV has such a nice Docker management interface too. I really feel spoiled with it.

I was planning on all my services running in ProxMox or something, but my OMV VM handles all of them except PiHole basically lol. OMV is snazzy. :D

Oh yes the bright red rotary phone…I imagine if it’s ringing, something has gone terribly wrong.

Man those EVE Online corporate sabotage shenanigans are getting SERIOUS.

…In all seriousness though, this is rather concerning that this is happening and nobody’s really sure who’s doing it.

Frickin’ laysur beemz on ther hedz!

I’m so glad it was helpful! You’re very welcome! I try to spread the word since NextCloud’s default photo app…scares people away frankly lol.

I now use an extension to customize the menu, so Memories effectively replaces the default app from a user point of view.

Using Memories in Nextcloud AiO simplifies things a bit, but I seriously consider it NextCloud’s “killer app.” It’s got EXIF editing, albums, user sharing, folder organizing, facial (and object!) recognition done locally, geo tagging map view…all local. The face recognizing stuff isn’t perfect, but it’s definitely good enough for the most part.

It’s also very easy to send to people outside NextCloud, but I run it behind TailScale so it’s not exposed to the open net at all. Copying and sending images through something like Signal also works fine. :)

It even has a neat Android app that sends my pictures to my server whenever I plug my phone in. (And moves them to my SD card in case something goes awry…but I learned I need to manage the cleanup of that part better lol)

Given all the other neat things NextCloud does, I like how it keeps photo managing in one place too.

Gonna also throw in: Nextcloud Memories.

It makes the photo organizing part of NextCloud AMAZING. I’m so happy I got to dump Google Photos for good.

“I just get it straight from upstream” (Munches beans to build the coffee internally from source)

then they’re stupid rapture is on its way.

Can I…can I ramble a sec for anybody willing to see this?

I was raised around this rapture insanity. There’s lots of evidence that this entire interpretation of Revelation isn’t even an apocalyptic prophecy at all. That whole thing might have been started by some con artist named Darby in VERY recent history.

It angers me personally, because it screwed up my perspective in my formative years. Thinking the world was going to end any minute anyway and all the boomers were so friggin excited about that. What the actual hell.

From a believer’s perspective, and I mean actually reading the book, it’s infuriating, that this recent “trendy interpretation” of The Bible has been the excuse to completely wreck the planet we were given and hurt so many beautiful people and living things.

These scum claim to be godly, but treat their OUR home like a shitty rock-band treats a hotel room, and they think they’re magically going to just get whooshed away from the consequences after they instigate WWIII to try and what, strongarm God into coming back because He smelled smoke and ruin?!

I want to band up with other believers against this “republichristian” cult. I wanna shout this from the rooftops.

But I’ll be honest, I also don’t want bombs sent to my house. I could rant on this all day, but American Christianity used to be a thorn in the side of capitalists. Christians helped everybody, sheltered them in their churches, didn’t force them to rely on whatever the gilded assholes were selling, created community. Christians used to be good people, dammit. Christians used to be straight-up BASED.

But capitalists absolutely made a concerted effort to turn it into the monster we have today. Where people claim to follow a God who warned them against swearing oaths, while being the strongest supporters of “pledging allegiance” to “a flapping pretty banner and its current owners at the moment.”

“Americhristianism” is the Devil’s most clever work of our time. Now more people just automatically blanket-hate Christians than ever. Nice friggin’ evangelism right?!

Breaks my heart. Feels like screaming against a deadly avalanche of stupid…

(Behind the Bastards podcast has a great couple episodes on “How the Rich Ate Christianity”)

The “protect children online” act or whatever. Ugh.
