  Sweeney certainly thinks he is.

  Newell is a billionaire like all the rest at 3.5B, but Sweeney is our savior fighting the good fight at 4.5B. Okay /s.

  Thank you, friend. I do have two different personal libraries, but was unaware of the “external” libraries option.

  I would welcome sharing libraries with you, if you were into such things.

  Wait, PlexAmp allows for multiple libraries?

  How were they supposed to know real estate law being… checks notes…

  a real estate attorney?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘My Property Tax Went From $15K to a Life-Altering $91K a Year’⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You’d think a real estate attorney would know better.

  Anyway, property –with the improvements thru made, has appreciated over $163,000 on average every year since they bought it. Ya, $75k more than they planned on sucks, but they can take it from the value of the house no?

  Even if you were to concede that point, which to be clear, I absolutely do not, due process must be extended to everyone in order to know who is a citizen and who is not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We'll have plenty of camps to have them sent to by then.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Please cite in the constitution where it calls anyone “illegal.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We'll have plenty of camps to have them sent to by then.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  A person cannot be “illegal.”

  But they can be ignorant. Bigoted. Hateful.

  The skip intro/credits feature is nifty, and sonic analysis if you run a music library is worth the purchase price alone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vaultwarden selfhosting, or bitwarden service?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I enjoy self hosting, but what tipped the scales for me in favor of using Bitwarden’s servers is that I’m 100% confident I’m not as good as hardening my system from being compromised as they are. The vault is going to be encrypted anyway, and I think there’s a lower chance of it falling into the wrong hands if it’s hosted with Bitwarden. Same reason I don’t self-host email.

  Plus Bitwarden is a cool company and the product is open source, and the premium features are unreasonably low priced.

  I’m with you that you shouldn’t have to, but putting your media directory one level up in a randomly generated directory name isn’t too bad. ~/[random uuid]/media/… may not be a terrible idea in any case.

  He does. That’s why it’s fun to point out that it’s wrong.

  Always important to keep on wife maintenance.

  I guess my confusion comes from why you are so adamantly against specifically providing the social security card, when providing proof of employment eligibility is a legal requirement. Clearly, you have no problem providing employment eligibility, why do you have such strong feelings about providing the social security card specifically?

  And while agree, the fact that other documents can be provided to prove employment eligibility means that technically providing the SS card isn’t required, I’d caution you against saying “never” in our current political environment.

  We’re splitting hairs here. It is a legal requirement to provide work elibility. If you provide a passport, or if you provide an ID and birth certificate, that sufficies. But many people choose ID and social security card. And yes, employers keep copies of work eligibility on file.

  So I guess my question is, is your objection really to the act of asking for a lightweight cardboard card?

  A social security card is among the documents required when getting a job. It’s not specifically mandatory, but a document that proves employment eligibility is, and a social security card meets that requirement.

  So you can be on your high horse, but if you won’t provide your social security card you’re gonna need something else that meets the resident, like passport or birth certificate.
