This paper used to be available on Rufus Pollock’s own website but today returns a 404.

In 2009 Pollock did the math and concluded that optimal copyright length for artists to recoup investment in developing the art balanced with making art available in the public domain was about 16 years.

This paper’s math isn’t easy to grok if you’re not an economist, but it’s a good resource that balances the need for copyright with the need for public domain knowledge and art.

Use this to check GOG installers before installation. Should still be accurate and active most recently updated 3 months ago.

Maybe I’ll go and pick their brains. I have had numerous failures but maybe I need to be using something other than VMware or something.

I just know I have tried suggestions from lots of reddit threads and they all failed to make a successful boot to even begin to install.

I have tried and failed this too many times to count because I have an AMD processor.

The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation. From the desperate city you go into the desperate country, and have to console yourself with the bravery of minks and muskrats. A stereotyped but unconscious despair is concealed even under what are called the games and amusements of mankind. There is no play in them, for this comes after work. But it is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things.

-Henry David Thoreau

We didn’t evolve for lives like this.

Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Further especially with powers granted from an injectable serum, the kind of people naturally drawn to it will already be the kind of people seeking power for their own ends.

I mean, I had completely forgotten about it entirely until you shared it and then the memory just blasted into my mind.

Immich is a more touchy beast because it includes a mobile app and the mobile app and the docker container need to generally be either the same version, or within a few versions of one another. There was a while where I forgot to update the server for a while and the mobile app kept being updated on my phone and stopped backing up photos because it could no longer communicate with the server.

I don’t expose services to the outside world either, but I still enjoy keeping things up to date. Gives me something to do.

I remember this image too it’s so fucking badass.

In fact, like I did with the UNIX is Magic poster, I may take this image and get it printed up on a nice large, glossy poster and mount it because fuck I have missed this. Thank you for sharing.

Run is definitely Ghostface & Jadakiss. It’s got a killer remix by Ratatat which is my favorite version. It’s also got one of my favorite lyrics of all time.

I can’t go to jail my mother cookin’ chicken for dinner! Damn!

I don’t because I did a siterip in like 2006-2007ish. I never lost that video.

That sounds dope as hell.

Two things:

An article about a blockade of kayaks that were in an Eastern US port preventing warships from leaving the country to go to the war in Iraq. It was spearheaded by Quakers and was part of the impetus the Bush admin wanted to use to charge Quakers as terrorists. Quakers are one of the few religious groups that are by default conscientious objectors and cannot be drafted into the military due to the non-violence aspects of their religion. I have been able to find evidence that the Bush admin was toying with prosecuting Quakers, but not this specific event.

An article about musicians suing their record company for money made from suing individuals for file sharing. The record companies always argued that the people doing music piracy were stealing from the musicians, but the musicians had to sue their record company to see a penny of that money.

All together I have literally spent days and days over the years trying to find these. I have a fairly good memory and everything else I remember from that period of time I have been able to dig to find the source. These two elude me and it kills me.

In the docker folder with the docker-compose.yml of whatever docker container you want to upgrade:

docker compose pull && docker compose up -d

As others have said, for large groups of containers it’s helpful to use Watchtower.

Immich in particular warns to backup your database before an upgrade. Also be on the lookout for breaking changes which require you to alter your docker-compose.yml file before an upgrade.

Oh and after upgrades to remove any dangling images which sometimes take up a lot of space:

docker image prune

Also if you want services to be interoperable, learn about docker networking now not later and remember for static IPs you must create a user defined bridge.

And Christianity isn’t technically monotheistic either, as it has the trinity of God, Christ, and the Spooky Spirit… errrm… I mean Holy Ghost.

The book of Job is literally written in different parts in entirely different dialects that were spoken hundreds of years apart. The opening and ending is from the older dialect, and written much like a folktale. The middle is newer and written much more like an epic poem.

Even the a single book of the Bible comes from numerous sources.

I think you mean hand written chart. Nothing stopping us from printing out such charts. I have a chart for how long certain foods keep in the fridge before spoiling pinned to the fridge with a white board fridge food calendar.

Me write pretty one day.
