I use bsd containers for everything but home assistant on my home server and love them! The downside for most people at the moment is having to set them up manually. I can export the thin jail and move the archive across computers as backups and the fine tuned control is beautiful. FreeBSD offers a way to check for security vulnerabilities in installed packages (pkg audit -F) that I run as a cron job and email myself daily to check for needed updates.

Problem is most people want a single docker install and it’s all set up, not something that needs manual configuration. Bastille has templates that can do this for bsd jails but there’s not a lot of services with templates.

Edit: also frustrating is a lot of new apps for home servers only offer a docker install so installing from source becomes a huge pita and makes bsd jails harder to use (looking at you gramps-web specifically).

That makes sense, even if it seems dumb to be “pre-punished” for something I’m not planning on doing.

They can also fall for stupid reasons. I recently finished paying off my car and my credit score dropped by 6 points!

There really isn’t anything I couldn’t replace my phone with a tablet that stays in the house for, and it has been a growing thought to switch back to a dumb phone.

It is an incredibly rewarding instrument! I rewired a conn 650 for midi to practice at home, but most of my practice and learning came from where I got lessons. Since they’re not exactly a portable instrument if you talk with an organist/music director if they don’t have an organist there’s a good chance they’ll let you practice on the church’s instrument.

I’ve played the trumpet for 27 years now, and have played the pipe organ for 3. Both of them professionally, and the issue with picking a favorite is there’s a ton of fantastic music!

On the trumpet I’d recommend a listen to Bugler’s Holiday, or Great Gate of Kiev. Possibly my favorite gig as an anecdote was an old Catholic Church in a poor part of the city. They had built an elevated stretch of subway what felt like inches from the church and the priest had to stop his homily every 5 minutes so the subway could go through. The organist ended with the Hallelujah Chorus and it might be the reason I have tinnitus but it was the most heavenly sounding space to play in!

On the organ, I played Schriener’s adaptation of Louis Vierne’s Maestoso in C. Straight from the get go it’s a fantastic piece to rattle the floors and wake up a church. I’d also recommend Scott’s arrangement of Hymn of the Cherubim as it is much softer and a good idea of the breadth the instrument can cover style wise.

While you are right on the federal level, you are wrong on the state level. Colorado did legalize it, from their own website:

Retail cannabis is legal in Colorado

I’d expect similar at least. When one doesn’t keep up to date on new information and lets their brain coast it atrophies like any other muscle would from disuse.

That will definitely end speculation about corruption and restore Argentina’s morale!

Maybe it’s just me but I lack the free time to get meaningful progress, if I’m lucky maybe 2-3 chapters a week by the time works and housekeeping is done. It often feels unrewarding to need to look back and remember the plot by the time I get back to the book

Could yes but they are definitely training new ai’s. So same as I’ve cut most meats out of my diet I’ll do the same with ai and talk loudly about how catastrophic their water and electricity usage is until it’s no longer true. Both are not good for the environment and both are completely unnecessary to our survival.

They only raise beef once too unless you’re pretending there only one ai model ever trained you’re purposefully trying to create a false narrative.

*as long as we don’t count the shit load of electricity spent training the model.

That looks like their laptop “gold” coloring so I’m gonna guess it’s not real gold.

Exactly! When we gamed out the cost, it was almost double for the loan. Oil changes cost double (there’s your $40 every 3-6months), and the parts were vastly more expensive. So we only pulled even renting a truck a 3x a week. At 80k I’d need to be pulling something daily more than 10 miles 7 days a week to beat the cost of renting a vehicle.

Nevermind there’s basically nothing I can buy that can’t be delivered from say Home Depot without me needing a truck.

It’s insane how much trucks have skyrocketed in price! My wife’s job occasionally needs a truck so we had considered one as our second vehicle years ago and ended up figuring it was cheaper to own a car counting total cost of ownership unless we used the bed/hitch more than 3 times a week and that was at 40-50k… it’s like they’re allergic to money.

The sad thing is we desperately need people to stay organ donors if organ transplants that save lives are to stay a thing and these ethical catastrophes that should lead to mass arrests instead end with people leaving the registry and seemingly 0 consequences for the ghouls that caused the issue…

It’s not unlikely this will cause shortages for people in need that was completely preventable due to greed and capitalism.

Anecdotally, it’s both. Most of the people I talked to would be very pro Republican but then talk about how they didn’t understand why we didn’t make weed legal or help people in poverty* or whatever the ballot initiative was.

*aid or minimum wage and stuff was often times very dependent on phrasing. They liked the ideas but only if they thought of people they liked. If you let them run long enough they’d eventually start talking about “druggies” or something like that to justify why $7.25 was where they’d rather leave the minimum wage for example. Or start riffing on how McDonald’s workers shouldn’t make as much as they did typing at a computer doing “real work”

According to the article he needed a license to sell modified exhausts, yes. So the fine and jail time were for that.

The weirdest thing when I lived there was ANY liberal ballot measure was basically guaranteed to pass, but straight down the ticket only republicans won their elections guaranteeing this kind of outcome in the state.
