I've definitely moved plans to build a storage NAS and some smaller custom home automation electronic devices up to start before December.

He cannot unless they’re convicted criminals.

Until the Republican swept house, senate and SCOTUS just unilaterally decide to change the law and allow deporting any "enemies of the state". Who's going to object lol?

Nothing in American law statue is concrete now that they hold every single key.

And the blue LED ring 'round the disk slot that doubled as an activity indicator. So cool.

Countdown until Chavez-DeRemer sues saying the election was stolen or that redistricting was gerrymandering in 3, 2, 1...

Yes it is. Don't misconstrue the results.

Trump is currently winning the popular vote (73m to 69m). A vast majority of total votes are counted so it won't go up more than another million or so from there.

Trump lost the popular vote in 2020, 81 million to 74 million.

Trump's margin in swing states is currently well over 100,000.

Trump's total vote count basically didn't change at all, but there are currently 12 MILLION people who just didn't show up to vote for democrats. Sure the electoral college was "decided" by a few hundred thousand, but this was a collosal collapse of democrat voter turnout nationwide.

Elections?

If Republicans pull the house there will be no elections.

Wow. Really dates the strip and reminds me it doesn't take place in modern day when they talk about TV broadcasters not coming on until a certain time...

I can’t see how less staffing is going to make things better.

Oh it makes things better alright. Better for the drug companies who now don't have to deal with pesky things like "safety" and "consequences for killing people".

Way too late for that. Trump and co are easily on track to gut every single ounce of functional democracy and ensure that nobody left of Joe Manchin is ever elected again.

same energy as a college frat party that a bunch of sophomores get invited to

 

not being able to ctrl-F a textbook or have click-to-chapter links sure makes studying harder these days... and any scanning software worth it's salt will at least do the bare minimum OCR automatically...

using IPFS on Z-Library? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

ok maybe i'm just being a dumbass. I'm getting textbooks off of z-library per the megathread, as they are the only site that lists the specific books I need currently. I am browsing via TOR.

I can't seem to see a download button or link for the books I am looking for, nor for any other book I open. Maybe this is because I don't have an account. But let's say I don't feel like making one, because that means spinning up another burner email, and and and.... idk. I'm lazy.

I thought I'd be nice and access the content via the IPFS CID using the IPFS desktop node/app thing from here. Zlibrary lists IPFS CID's for all books they host. That will save server load on them and likely be faster for a couple of the 200+MB PDF's.
But it absolutely can NOT find any of the CID's that z-library gives for any of it's content, whether I click browse or inspect in the search box or use the import function, even after I let it sit and run on my extra seed PC for two days to populate the peer list.

I know IPFS must be working as some of the test CID's I used from the tutorial imported ok.

am i being dumb? am I missing the fundamental purpose of the IPFS CID's here or something?
