Might be renting, and the number of renters that carry residential insurance is depressingly low.

The older I get, the more I realize that opening up makes things worse.

You can trust the Americans to always do the right thing.

After they've tried literally everything else first.

I've installed wayland based DEs on all sorts of cheap-shit, 2013 era hardware and never have a problem. IDK what sort of janky crap it takes to have to run X11 still. A 90s SpeakNSpell?

You couldn't pay me to go to a movie at a theatre.

I don't think we want to see what the world's biggest military would do if there were large-scale attacks on American soil. This planet would be a smoking ruin before calmer heads prevailed. They lost their fucking minds for more than a decade after the WTC strikes and still haven't recovered, and are currently backsliding.

Man, fuck that.

If you get a camera that is ONVIF compatible, you won't need an app to set it up. Vikylin, amcrest are a couple I've used.

Use tailscale to access your cameras, don't portforward them. They are pathetically terrible for security.

Pretty sure a Chinese astroturfing campaign would be a lot cheaper.

So buying an election will cost someone $501M dollars?

Sold!

One person just about did.

Pick a well supported distro like Fedora or Ubuntu and you're more likely to have less problems with things like that, because if the devs are testing against anything, those will be the distros.

That whole series is a classic. A great universe-building.

 

Now to invite my insurance agent over and watch her faint.

 

Keep in mind if you've pinned your docker-compose.yml as they suggest in the installation guide, you'll want to increment that.

 

It's becoming easy to see why Linus didn't merge anything from bcachefs for 6.17. And Kent isn't gaining himself any supporters by tearing down other filesystems in his tantrum.

 

There are parts 2-4 posted as well.

 

Picked up a new stock but dented Daikin furnace for $1200 a while back, and finally got around to installing it today. I had measured up and commissioned a plenum but fucked up a little bit, so it took longer to get the S-cleats properly installed and the plenum airtight than removing the old one, cutting in the cold air return, wiring the electrical and running the intake/exhaust pipes took put together. Approved ducting methods seem so fucking archaic, everything has to be tight but you can't just put things together without taking half a dozen things apart to get it to fit. Of course, I had to fix one transition because I lost my temper and punched the shit out of it.

On the plus side, it only took 2 trips to Home Despot, the second one because the old switch had been drywalled in and was completely inaccessible. I cut the wires off it and put a new box and switch where I could reach it.

I need to get a condensate pump yet, and call for an inspection, but winter is still a few months off so I have time.
