This is a threat without any risk to MTG. If she does it and beats McBride up, she’ll be a hero to her base and will get pardoned if she catches a charge. If she does it and McBride fights back, her narrative will become “violent trans people” and “a man dressing as a woman beat up a congressperson.” Saying things like this are 100% wins to the psychopath party and their base, and I’m ashamed to share this country with them.

This is a good breakdown. A firehose relay takes TB’s of storage and is not practical for self-hosting, and AppView isn’t hostable yet: https://alice.bsky.sh/post/3laega7icmi2q

As a Californian, the state should sue for damages and use the funds for high speed rail. The entire hype around this stupid tech was to torpedo high speed rail in the state so Musk could sell more cars. I get that this is Branson’s spinoff, but the tech isn’t viable and all the investor hype around it was just a smokescreen for public policy control and that HAS to result in some sort of reparations, it’s basically fraud in my opinion. The assets should be sold off and put towards public transit.

Or claim the election is already rigged, causing enough of his folks to stay home and NOT vote in other races that the house and state governments see unprecedented flips.

Copying my reply to someone else, the sad story is he was diagnosed with Celiac at 3, and as such has grown up with a lot of food issues. It’s developed into like a fear of new foods, and his crutch is ketchup, which is the lesser of evils at this point. We think it’s crossed into ARFID, and he’s in OT.

My 9 year old literally eats steamed rice with ketchup and if given this choice he would just it to die.

I manage a lot of systems, so just click to open a ssh session in a new tab. I usually have shell aliases, but a bookmark that could set the title of the tab to the hostname and account for easier nav would be my goal. Being able to dynamically open tab groups too would be good, like if I have a dev/prod/SQL server for an app I could 1-click to open a group of 3 tabs

I’ve been looking for a terminal with better bookmark support; I use mRemoteNG on windows for my RDP/SSH work, and I haven’t been happy with any alternative on Linux that handles session bookmarks like that. I’m curious to try this.

For sure, though I question the theory. Directional wireless power I think is feasible, but this sounds like blanketing (1-2 transmitters in a house with no regard for obstacles/direction, per the article). That sounds hugely wasteful, especially given how much more energy power takes vs. signal. I do think a zigbee type solution is the ultimate answer, because even if it goes back to batteries for wall stations, data transmission like that is so much less energy than power that the battery problem becomes null-ish.

I have never seen those questions answered because it’s a secret sauce that the streaming platforms would patch immediately if it were published. In general though, my understanding is it’s older versions of apk’s on rooted android devices with exploits that allow for harvesting the actual cached files, or in some cases the apk is deconstructed to get access to the API keys so that the files are downloaded directly, though that’s risky as it gets easier to detect a single key doing a giant pull of files faster than someone could reasonably watch the shows.

This article is scant on details. It harvests RF to power/charge low energy devices. What RF bands? Is putting these through a house knocking out bluetooth around it, or existing RF remotes for devices? Or is this some background RF that won’t penetrate deep into a house to begin with? There would be “1-2 RF transmitters” to power the whole house…that doesn’t seem great, that’s a ton of wasted energy emanating in a sphere from the transmitter to hit these devices all over. I’m not sure what problem this is solving, copper wiring cost of extended runs to switches? Isn’t this problem going to go away if some system like zigbee got standardized and the switch hardware was baked into the end device itself to be controlled by any of multiple control points?

Yes. Look here, the plan is per-device, and the capacity is unlimited: https://www.crashplan.com/pricing/ . I think the restore would be extremely painful, it’s not a fast pipe, but the bigger you go that’s gonna be an issue no matter what.

I’m just not seeing a smoking gun here for some nefarious evil. Seems she did a lot of work on real areas of concern, seeking to help consult with the company on issues that they need to address.

Butler joined Airbnb as head of public policy for North America after the company’s initial racial discrimination scandal had largely abated, but during her tenure the company sought to address concerns about parties at Airbnb rentals and the company’s effects on housing affordability, the pandemic’s effect on tourism and local governments’ efforts to collect taxes from the business.

— In 2021, Butler praised the Biden administration’s opening offer for what became the bipartisan infrastructure bill and Inflation Reduction Act on Airbnb’s behalf, urging congressional leadership to enact a “robust” package to expand rural broadband access. Airbnb also had to weather calls to drop its sponsorship of the 2022 Olympics in Beijing, and disclosures show the company lobbied on antitrust, small business, and Section 230 while Butler was there.

They used to be but I’m not sure now; I think when they release the full self-manufactured ones I will want one.

I have had an s76 wild dog which was amazing for an 11 year run, and I just replaced that with a meerkat. I also have a thelio which has been flawless. System76’s desktops are amazing.

In 2013 I bought a darter and it’s the worst laptop I’ve ever owned. I went through 4 keyboards and still it doesn’t work, also the wifi radio is under the keyboard and you get a 50% signal reduction when typing. It had one of those trapdoor Ethernet ports which broke, so I basically became a dead device. That is an old metric, but it scared me off from buying laptops from them until they get their own hardware pipeline for them.

False, former CA labor leader with a huge pro labor track record who was hired in an unspecified advisory role to consult on labor relations. No one has provided any evidence about what that role meant, and it’s possible she went in and said “be better to your employees” and they said “no” and that was it…the CA voters handed them what they wanted anyway in the last round of props. She moved to MD recently as part of her work generally promoting women in politics. So being from CA but with a perspective on national politics…sounds like a solid fit, meeting Newsom’s 2 self imposed criteria (black woman not running in 2024). She also has a strong pro-choice background, and represents LGBT rights as an open lesbian. I think the haters are looking for any reason to hate what Newsom does, I think she is a totally reasonable choice, and to be blunt, Lee will be 78/79 at the time she takes office should she win the election, that is not who I want representing me.

But he also said he wouldn’t appoint someone running for the seat in the upcoming election, so Lee was not a possible candidate for appointment.

The problem is he made conflicting statements…he said he would appoint a black woman to fill the demographic gap created by harris-padilla, and said he won’t appoint someone who plans to run in the election as an incumbent has an advantage he thinks dilutes the will of the voters in an open field. It puts him in a bad spot with Barbara Lee, a totally self-inflicted political pickle.

I don’t have the exactly solution for you, but I went through this a while ago and came up with using openLDAP for this. It’s not tidy at all, but it was a tremendous learning experience, and I documented it in 2 blog posts which may be interesting to you; I doubt you’ll want to do what I did, but it was informative and has worked flawlessly since. I documented some of the flaws I found in options I considered at the time:
