I for one would definitely download a car, if I did not already own one I really like.

I’d happily let’s others download mine, if it didn’t affect me or my car in any way.

Does Pulse count? If not, I’m having a hard time choosing between The Wall, Division Bell, and DSOTM

The most serious charges, racketeering and sex trafficking, are a lot harder to prove in court.

For the example of racketeering, it has to be proven without a doubt that the parties (Diddy and henchman) were both knowingly committing crimes. In this particular case it was hard to produce evidence of the henchmen doing anything more than following instructions which in themselves were not of a criminal nature.

Fuck him, though. Even though he did not get the verdict we all know he deserves, nobody would want the toxicity of working or associating with him again. Well, maybe Kanye.

The Mandalorian.

Succession.

Chess, mostly

No. It is never morally wrong to ensure your own safety.

“But those who allowed nazis to come to power were doing just that!”

…no. Most of those weren’t ensuring their safety. They were ensuring their own comfort (in the beginning, at least)

If a regime is targeting you or your loved ones: Lay low. If the regime is targeting someone else: Resist, especially if at worst you’re gonna get a slap on the wrist.

Simplified: It’s a crystal ball that allows you to see through space. However, the target can also see you.

Think of it like one of those crying scrying (ducking autocorrect) balls from the Disney movies. Or a two-way-camera setup.

Can’t wait for some terminally online dork with a python script to figure out that the god password for Palantir is “StudMuffin1234” and dump everything online, thus making the two-way aspect a reality…

EDIT: Just for the record, it’s been over 30 years since I read the books. I may remember it incorrectly.

I think the only “required” one on your list is Instance: It’s one out of many servers. Lemmy.world, sh.itjust.works, etc.

I find it useful to think of it topologically like an IRC server, if you’re familiar with how those work; many of them connect and share content - You’re on an instance/server, but can interact with users and content from different ones.

The rest are more oriented towards Linux, servers (in general), and aren’t really required for Lemmy use in general.

This is where I started to explain what a codebase fork is, but then I realized that I fucking hate typing on my phone.

If it’s urgent, I go down there. If not, I schedule an appointment (how soon usually depends on the severity. Can be the next day, or the next week).

Example: My oldest kid (12 years old at the time) fractured his arm while in school last spring. I was notified right away, so I picked him up at school and took him to the local clinic (3 minutes away) . The doctor wanted some xrays done, so he referred him to the local hospital and gave him some painkillers for the one hour trip (we live kind of in the middle of nowhere).

We arrived at the ICU (it was after “office hours”), so we had to wait 30 minutes for the x-ray tech to be available. Turned out a titanium rod insert was needed, which requires anesthesia, so they couldn’t do it the same day because of fasting requirements. Operation “scheduled” for the next day. He was given a temporary cast.

Day arrived, and while there was a bit of wait since it was something they’d just have to insert into the schedule for the day whenever possible. Surgery went according to plan, and he was given a sandwich upon waking up, as he hadn’t eaten since the day before. He had a new cast on that he had to keep for a couple of weeks. The local clinic could remove it, but they wanted to do it at the hospital so they could do a follow up xray to see that it was healing properly.

A few weeks later, and things looked good. Cast removed.

A couple of months ago he had the titanium rod removed without much ado.

My only expense was the fuel cost for driving to the hospital.

The only negative feedback I have is that my son didn’t get to keep the titanium rod as a souvenir after they removed it. I guess the doctors have better things to do than washing gore off of scrap metal.

Depends on how you define “opposite”. I’m thinking direct democracy or anarchy.

Counterpoint: I heard it was Dave

No use for me. DHS and probably every other three letter agency in the US have my prints, name, and picture on file after getting various work visas a while back.

Worst: My sister’s wedding. Because I was so hungover the next day words cannot possibly describe its magnitude.

Best: My friends wedding. I was the best man, so I took it relatively easy, so despite being one of the last people to call it a night, I was relatively fine the day after.

However, I’ve only ever been to two weddings, so the range isn’t that wide: They were both pretty fun events.

And your name shall be X-Grok-&$#@

Yup, I’ve seen those features in some of the models - an AP will hand off a client to a different AP automagically as necessary.

Everything is toxic, it’s just a matter of dosage.

Also, there are plenty of rubber O rings, gaskets, and bushings between your tap and your water source - using anything else in your spigot will make absolutely no difference.

Unless you use something biodegradable. Then it would be an E-coli farm AND “toxic”.

Probably. This combined with a Memory leak from shitty consumer grade firmware is usually what necesitates a power cycle every so often.

I’ve come to conclude that whenever there is a home networking issue, the solution is to avoid consumer grade hardware as much as possible. This usually takes care of having to reboot routers and access points every few days.

What I’d do in your case:

• Turn off wifi on router. Bonus points if you can just set it to bridge mode and supply your own router, but that’s a bit beyond most people. Just disabling wifi will do for now.
• run cables from your router locations to the AP1 and AP2 location, so that you can avoid daisy chaining any access points.
• Get a small PoE switch. “Any” will do.
• Get three PoE access points and install them, one next to the router, one in the ap1 location, and one in the ap2 location.
• Be sure to not set them up on the same channel. Same SSID and password, but didn’t fderent channel: 1, 6, and 11 is usually a pretty solid choice if there aren’t external factors affecting those.

If you want to do this as cheaply as possible, I suggest just doing the cable runs to avoid daisy chaining, but I suspect the wireless access points themselves might be the main issue.

As for APs, there are many that are good. I personally use three Aruba Instant-On that cover my entire three floor house with no problem.

Norwegian: Mamma. It’s the same general meaning as “mom”. “Mommy” strikes me as a bit more childish, and I don’t think we have an equivalent here.

Same. I choose somewhere 15 to 18C - Comfortably cool, and I can always put on a sweater. Any warmer than that, and I’d have trouble sleeping at night.

So triple digits Kelvin for me.
