I have a Nas and use that for torrents, but it’s quite inderpowered. I use an old laptop as a home server for media. However, as it’s old, it’s not very efficient,.so I don’t want to leave it always on.

My router has PoE and this would have been an elegant solution. It works with a Pi, it just provides the form factor, was my understanding.

I think I tried that once and you needed to download a Telstra app or something so I noped out. Ive seen the signs though.

I’m just about to move house, which I thought was a perfect time to pick one up. I saw the news about no more new stock and then looked and everywhere that ships to me is out of stock.

Here in Australia, they are all free now. I presume the phone company realised nobody was using them and preferred to keep them as free billboard spaces.

It could also be partly to help keep him in power, as Argentina collapsing, again, under libertarianism makes their attempts at libertarianism harder to justify. They’d still lie about it, so I agree there is an ulterior motive, that personally benefits Trump or his cronies.

Military follow orders, if legal. Otherwise it doesn’t work.

20% overtime pay for the first 10 hours a week is ridiculously low. Time and a half is pretty standard. Even at over 10 hour shifts, it’s not getting to time and a half.

If they doubled the percentages, I’d think it’s fair. However, overtime should always be optional. There is a good argument for both sides to be reasonable, but requiring repeated overtime isn’t overtime, any more, that’s normal shifts.

I think generally twice the budget to break even. Anything past that is a success. However, it varies depending on marketing and expectations. Some sleeper hits make multiple times their budget on minimal marketing, just from word of mouth. Some huge blockbusters spend lots on marketing and barely make a profit without going over 2.5 times budget.

I saw the sequel in imax. It was also amazing. In no small part due to the soundtrack and aesthetic. The plot and acting was meh. Deaged actor tech was also uncanny valley, so was the weakest part.

I’d say you are getting conflicts. Can you put your isp router into bridge mode?

I’ve seen enough sci fo to see directives that are unclear or loss of communication.

Nothing about protecting profits or company interests above all?

Yep. If consumers are only bearing some of the costs now, then inflation will continue.

Which router is a router and which is a bridge? If they are both acting as routers, you may have conflicts. Is there only one dchp server? Can the openwrt router access internet (not clients) when proton is off.

That and shorting, stocks, bitcoin, currencies.

Ireland has craic (pronounced like crack). It means fun, but less like a child having fun playing, more like an adult enjoying spending time with friends.

Someone can be good craic. They are fun to be around. Having craic is having a good time. “What’s the craic?” Can mean “how are you?”. In this context, it’s more like, asking for a fun story, but it’s usually rhetorical.

Finishing street fighter 3 on one coin in the arcade. Still play street fighter 6 daily but I’m not as good as an adult as I was back then.

I worked waiting tables so got lots of change. Some I would spend or cash in. Some was kept purely for arcade time.

If the transcoding is the problem, you could set up a sync thing folder that allows you to just drop on their media and have it sync across to them. It would be duplicated and I don’t know if it’s better than what you’re already doing but it’s simpler.

Lego update their range every few months. If you know they like Lego and she does, I’d pick one and ask if they have it.

I’m sure any gift you out this much thought into will be perfect. From my kids point of view, they get excited about presents whether they end up playing with it or not. What I’ve found works for spenifn time together is zoom videos with books that you can read to them while they read too. So you both have a copy of the same book.

At 6 they will be learning to read, presumably, so you can also listen to them read to you. All of the Julia donaldson books are great. However, I’d still get a toy present. This is more a thought for developing a relationship while apart, seperate to the birthday. You can even just pick up a copy of their favourite book near you and then only one copy needed. I love overseas from my family and at that age they are not able to hold a conversation on zoom for long as their attention span is low. Having the book brings a focus.

I’ve had friends bake together over zoom and also build the Lego together over zoom, so if you have the time that would work also.

Kids don’t differentiate between expensive and smaller sets of Lego at that age. The bigger sets are normally more advanced, so I wouldn’t stress about the size or cost.

I recently had my kids friends for sleep over. We got some Lego that day as a reward for something else. It was about Aussie $30, so maybe 25 USA dollars, and was 3 Harry Potter characters. They each were entertained for about an hour making them. Then an hour playing and they could each bring one home. There were 3 characters to build. They got more fun out of that each and collectively than a 100 dollar set.

I disagree. Lego has a replayability and endurance that makes it great value in my opinion. For that price point, there are lots of Lego creator 3-in-1 kits that have a variety of instructions with the same bricks.

Cheaper brands and toys don’t have the same quality, longevity and compatibility.
