Yeah I’ve got a P7 Pro and the battery is still fine. Adaptive charging enabled to help batter life.

Handed my P6 down to my daughter and it’s still fine for her too

I don’t think we should have the situations and lack of regulation that leads to billionaires, especially as it will likely continue to drain/erode the quality-of-life for everyone else to eventually lead to trillionaires…

I’d say it’s less that “things will get better on their own” and more “somebody else will take the steps/sacrifice to fix it”

I run backups to a USB drive which is way to grab in the event of an emergency. Just make sure you test them every more and again, and possibly only connect it when needed if you’re at all worried about malware (a cryptolocker will happily take out any attached storage if your machine is infected).

A lot of that stack looks similar to mine, though I’m running bigger hardware for various reasons. You might want to go with something with more cores than an i5 depending on how much you find yourself utilizing.

Have you considered Nextcloud for documents and syncing functionality? I went through a few ways of running it before ended up with the Snap package which has been fairly solid for over a year now (Docker was good for setup, but upgrading was problematic if not kept up with religiously)

Vaultwarden is Excellent.

Calibre-Web is good, especially if paired with the application to “extract” books, and an app like Moon+ on mobiles

Audiobookshelf is pretty solid. Pairs well with Libation.

HASS I initially ran on my server in a container but moved to dedicated hardware so updating and reboots didn’t break automatons. Got a HASS Yellow for the PoE and Zigbee.

If you’re looking for audio/video library management, JellyFin is pretty easy to get running and has apps for phones plus many TVs. Finamp is a good mobile app for the music part

I’ve been migrating to Soverin and like it thus far. I’ve only done email and my calendaring though.

It’s not free but it’s also not overly costly.

You can also use a router that can run wireguard/openvpn and have that run the tunnel back to home for you. I’ve got a portable GL-Inet router with OpenWRT that I use for this when I’m on the road

Needs to be on state charges though or he’ll just issue a federal pardon

“maybe my military parade sucked because I haven’t actually started a war yet”

Yeahhhhh. It used to be when we called the place McDick’s it was commentary on the food/service quality not the menu items

Or something more flammable, perhaps

A lot depends on the implementation rather than the idea itself. I’ve read plenty of stories of people stuck on hold with 9-1-1 - including deaths - as well as cases where they’ve been hung up on by shitty operators.

An AI system might be able to do some basic triage to prioritize calls for the human operators and actually result in faster access/response and saved lives. It might also be able to do things like transcribing information such as addresses or location for responders. If the AI is planned to be a replacement for humans rather than an augmentation though, lives will likely be lost

They probably just walk around downtown and recruit from whomever has a cut-off shirt and a swastika tattoo

If that’s the case, I’m still hoping for clear skies with a well-placed lightning bolt

My kids will never understand why I’m excited about this, but I am

It’ll be interesting too as federations are a bit of a wild-west right now with some domains dropping off or being federated, while others may still be created in the future

Watching their recent coverage of LA and NY I was kinda astounded by the slant on it.

That sounds kinda cool. I’ll have to check it out. It’s kinda hard sometimes to push FOSS stuff in a largercorporate environment but this looks like something I could recommend/build for small-mid private SOHO clients.

We’ve had the same thing with politicians in Canada. It’s gone from “he’s an asshole” to “but he’s OUR asshole”.

I think congratulation politicians - whether you live them or not - when they do good things is well warranted. Keep in mind that while many couldn’t give a shit about you or I, they DO like ego-stroking and attention so positive reinforcement can actually work well.

Honestly I’d rather less of him being f’ed by the bear and more demonstrating how he’s fucking the country while calling it patriotism
