- Comment on There should be a term for people who never really returned from the pandemic's social isolation 1 day ago:
Not really isolating is on zoom. Just preferring to be where they cannot smell you. I presume.

Do they mean the USA civil war and that south, or one of many other civil wars?
The USA South is fine. Fully integrated. They just couldn’t be dicks for a while.

- Comment on What is the safest way for a partially disabled person in the USA to use prison for food and shelter as an alternative to dying homeless in a gutter on a cold rainy night? 2 months ago:
If you are set on this, then do crimes that, if successful, would improve your life.
Steal billions of dollars from bad corporations. Steal food to live, trespass to be in shelter.
Personally, I would try to go to the cheapest town and get on benefits. Each state has a really cheap place to exist. There are usually no jobs, but often friendly people.

Fuck suicide for financial reasons.

You raise a great point.
To the Owning Class, those working for money are nothing and replaceable. Rise up with the poor.

Not ugly at all.

After 35 is the first wave of divorces?
- Comment on Court blocks the FCC's efforts to restore net neutrality... again 3 months ago:
You know, if the rules for government handouts were more open, another company could gain ground. Just pointing out something congress controls.

“Secret Bot” sounds great!
Custom in-house or off the shelf?

So many passwords will be in there. And cat photos.
- Comment on Monolithic setup vs dedicated devices 4 months ago:
“Easier” and “simpler” are in the eye of the beholder.
A different way to approach it is to limit the failure domains. If this breaks how sad are you?
I would separate storage from the rest. Networking stuff together may be fine. Home assistant depends on how dependent on it your household is.

Last year.
- Comment on Where to buy server replacement hdd to match existing RAID configured drives? 4 months ago:
I have not had an issue mixing and matching drives in a hardware or software RAID. Just needs to be at least as big as the previous.
I have had issues with non-vendor drives in Dell and/or HP systems.
(I am a pro, but not your pro.)
- Comment on If global warming is a biproduct of humans, wouldn't the logical answer be to kill 2/3rds of the humans? 4 months ago:

- Comment on The President Ordered a Board to Probe a Massive Russian Cyberattack. It Never Did. 4 months ago:
The President can have the board killed. Might focus the minds of the next board. /s
- Comment on I genuinely feel like I wouldn't live that differently even if I suddenly became ultra-wealthy. Am I kidding myself? 4 months ago:
Definitions matter, 18% of American households are millionaires. Many of them live just as you describe.
Ultra wealthy is likely much higher. Let’s say $100 million or more. This is unlikely to happen overnight (in the literal sense.)
I don’t see how it wouldn’t change you. Even giving the money away would change your time use. (If I gave away $10 million, I would be checking on how it is used. And be very critical.)
Even just removing annoyances will change you. A nicer car, then why deal with traffic. Food prep turns into no going to the store, which turns into not knowing about advances in checkout scanners (see George HW Bush during some election.)
Maybe it is not your not changing. The world always changes. Will you change with it?

The first step is to make ot work (at all, even badly).

Any more I reencode for local streaming to my TV.
- Comment on Is there a precedent for a really delay-tolerant command line interface? (A bit off-topic) 4 months ago:
No, tmux does not redirect to a file. Though ‘>’ and ‘script’ do.
Tmux is like ‘screen’ and can be wrapped with ‘byobu’.
- Comment on Supreme Court weakens federal regulators with Chevron overturning, threatening net neutrality, right to repair, big tech regulation, and more 4 months ago:
