I feel like I was aware of this (much time has passed), but I think it’s something we discovered by trying it out of curiosity.

Reminds me of the Ferd Fteenthousand. https://youtu.be/F8P5vGcf-NU

My laptop booted in to Windows once. I missed my first guess on the key to enter setup and USB storage didn’t have a higher boot order than internal storage.

Gross. I didn’t know that. I do occasionally use AirBnB. I’m aware of their impact on the rental market, so I favor hotels most of the time. But there have been a few occasions in recent years where I was traveling in a larger group and an AirBnB made more sense. But no more of that.

I looked in to this a little, and Joe Gebbia is no longer the CEO, but he is still on the board. Still a good enough reason to boycott.

I’ll try this! I used to use caldav via my mail provider with DAVx5, but I had problems with it not retaining notification settings with recurring events.

I don’t know if that’s a problem with their caldav server, DAVx5, or my phone’s calendar. But worth trying with radicale and see if it works.

For those like myself who hadn’t heard of GoToSocial and are curious what it is but don’t want to watch a video, it is as you might guess an ActivityPub based microblogging platform. With a focus on smaller instances capable of running on low end hardware. According to their site, anyway. https://gotosocial.org/

It’s a novel idea. But despite the article’s claims this is not a practical alternative to a laptop in planes, coffee shops, etc. Nor is a minipc inherently more serviceable than a laptop as others have pointed out.

For traveling, if it’s a longer trip, it almost makes sense to me as you’d have it set up for a while. Though I’d do a mini ITX system. The ones with external power supplies and no drive bays or expansion slots are pretty small. But even then, I don’t feel like this would be significantly better than a laptop. And that’s a lot to buy for a niche use case.

Edit: spelling and grammar

A search of the comments didn’t turn up any mention of seedboxes. So I’ll throw that hat in the ring as an option.

Maybe self host your own VPN on a VPS and connect the jellyfin server as a client as well as any other devices you want to see that jellyfin server as other clients and configure the VPN server to not override your default routing and to allow clients to see each other? In my head I don’t think that would conflict with your protonVPN connection.

Your traffic would be encrypted between devices so I wouldn’t say https is nessesary and thus no certs needed.

The rubs that occur to me are that I’m not sure you can do this on a free tier VPS which is the only option I see given your financial limitations. And your devices all need to be able to connect to said VPN.

Edit: Slightly less worse English.

Nope. I fiddle until it does what I want. If the thing I’m working on is complex or I’m struggling with it I’ll keep versions of configs. And I back up working configs via an rsync job. Which isn’t a particularly robust solution but I’m content with it for my needs.

This was 15+ years ago. I was driving with several friends. Among them was Jane (not actual names) who used to date another friend, John. Who was not present. This friend group in the car, while fairly mutual, was more Jane’s clique than John’s. Except me, who was closer to John. It occurs to me after writing that introduction to mention I had no romantic interest in Jane, not that kind of story.

Anyway, we started talking shit about and making fun of John in the car. I don’t remember how that got started or why I participated. I liked John and bore him no animosity at all. I guess just young and dumb and wanted to fit in.

Someone who was in the car told him about this and he called me out on it. I remember him being particularly bothered that I’d talk like that about him with his ex around others. Which, pretty understandable. I saw the wrong of it and felt like a real piece of shit. And that friendship never really recovered.

I don’t talk about people behind their back anymore or engage in any other kind of gossip.

Edit: couple changes for clarity.

Great explanation! That makes a lot of sense. No real value for them to rock the boat.

I like this

I wonder if that’ll end up being true. I’d guess these constituents represent voters that watch porn at least as much on average as anyone else. I’m going to go ahead and guess above average. They might get tired of this and push for change. But I’m also admittedly less educated on how our political system works than I should be and might be overestimating how much influence Florida Man has because he’s disgruntled at having to jump through hurdles to fap.

Yes, you’re right. But that doesn’t fit with their “think of the children” moral compass. Which isn’t even pointing the correct direction, but good luck convincing them of that.

I feel like my compass analogy isn’t the best, but eh.

I feel like the cost would come from the quantity of cybernetics and time to install them. So I imagine if the dog was about 14% the size of the Six Million Dollar man it’d work out to be about the same.

For now. (Probably for later, too.)
