I’m curious as to how big of a load you’ve put on the system, so far. Is it just the site? What’s the code for charging? Do you have it set to discharge to 30% then charge, or just charge to 80% whenever it’s discharged some arbitrary amount? Sorry for the questions, I’m incredibly fascinated by this project!

This comes up a lot and the time Americans will do something, is when the majority is affected. Right now, it’s just minorities and poor people. And most Americans don’t care about them. That’s a cold fact, that a lot of people are unwilling to deal with. Nobody wants to do anything that will threaten their lives unless it’s something that affects them, personally. And taking the kind of action that is needed, will threaten their lives. When it starts affecting middle class, white, non-minority Americans; that’s when shit will hit the fan. But they’re so calculating, that won’t happen. So, we’ll continue on this path, until that time.

Per Gizmodo, not the best source, but whatever, the Tiktok in question was from a Russian propaganda account. The woman in the video took two, read that, two Tylenol. The account claims she’s an associate professor at Columbia, but this is not verified as of yet. This is clearly just a brain rotted, worm ridden, old man’s paranoia.

I was intrigued to find out that the research had been done years ago, unless my reading comprehension skills are awful. I wonder if this is the precursor to a lot of the carbon capture technology we have today. Or, if the technology hasn’t been scaled yet.

I started self-hosting! I got Nextcloud and Grocy set up! Jellyfin too, but I got some small issues to work out. Next up is, a workout application and home assistant. I’ll be transferring all my cams and stuff to HA. My whole family uses Signal, which is pretty cool. And I’m about to take the Graphene plunge, but I haven’t ROM hacked in years. I hear it’s super easy with Graphene, though.

As a parent, I should not have read this. I’m fucking sick to my stomach. I shudder at the complete lack of empathy and sympathy for these children and their families in the US. The American government can look at this and feel proud we supplied Israel with the munitions to kill so many children, senselessly. Callously. Hatefully. Fuck all wars. Fuck all death. Fuck anybody who doesn’t feel the same way. Violence begets violence, begets violence, begets violence. We, the human race, are an ouroboros of death. We will continue to eat ourselves, until there is nothing left. All the people in power want, is to be the one ruling over the gilded ruins. This iniquity has to stop, before we all lose. But it won’t. People will continue to die, for rulers who have no skin in the game. I wish rulers would have to fight the frontlines, in the wars they wage. But even then, it wouldn’t help. Of that, I am certain. Because the one constant about the human race, is the unquenchable thirst for land and blood.

For real, why was the influence ever there in the first place? I’ve met so many people, men mostly, that worship Joe Rogan, and think he’s so “smart and real”.

Agreed! I’m working on converting my wife and the rest of my family to Linux. I got a nextcloud server set up, alongside Grocy, Jellyfin, and a few others. So far, it’s made our lives better! It works better than our Google calendar. Everyone has their own accounts and things are rarely breaking. It’s so nice.

So true. I’m laughing, but dying inside. It’s so gross to see that amount of money just be wasted. There’s no reasons other than status and you want to be gaudy.

I always wondered, what would happen if reporters in the White House start making outlandish claims. E.g. what you said and stuff like, can you verify that JD Vance doesn’t fuck couches? Or, is it true that Miller masturbates to Nazi memorabilia? That just seems like the kind of thing that they wouldn’t be able to stand. So, why not just go for it at this point?

Well, that’s why he needs the money! 😂

What is this, America???

I actually just had to deal with this! So, I ended up spending time troubleshooting and rewriting some .conf files for Apache.

I appreciate the response! When I set out to self-host, I made the decision to install everything separately, because I heard about docker and it sounded like, “plug in code and run”. And that’s something I didn’t want, only because it was a hobby and I wanted to learn more from a hands on experience. I learned a ton, sorting through those errors! If I did it over again, I’d probably use docker, based on your explanation, but I feel like that is an endeavor, in and of itself.

Why is this? I’ve never used docker before and when I set up my server a couple years ago, I installed Debian, Apache, and MariaDB and got everything set up relatively easily.

Well, I guess we’re done debating. It’s a shame, I hate ending debates in a draw. That’s on me, though. I got too emotional, because this is a topic that is deeply personal to me. Oh well, win some, lose some, and draw some. I enjoyed our debate, no matter what it may have seemed like. I really am shameful that I came out the gates smoking. There were much better ways to argue my point and I failed in that regard. Hope you have a great day and rest of your morning!

Are you arguing that using the pronoun, they, is equivalent to someone harming themselves? Friend, you need to argue better. You are arguing like a college dropout. You’ve re-contextualized the argument in it’s entirety. Try again, or don’t. But stop coming at me with your weak ass, bullshit talking points. In the illustrious words of our dear leader, SAD!

Oh my gosh, you’re being pedantic. It has been used for “gender” ambiguity for quite some time. If you choose to be ignorant, then that’s your dill, pickle. At the end of the day, you get to choose whether you make someone happy, or sad. Why is that difficult? Why can’t you comprehend the concept of providing joy to someone? Why can’t you just be nice? That’s what this whole thing is about, right? You can either choose to be nice, or not. And I’m so tired of arguing with people to be nicer. Why can’t people get it through their thick skulls, that people just want to live and be considerate of each other. That’s what we all want, right?

Thank you for agreeing with me! Singular they is only used for gender ambiguity! So, trans folks, or non-binary folks, who choose to go by an ambiguous pronoun, use it. You got it! Unfortunately, I am older than 30, my knees might be older, haha. Also, I’m not from GB/UK. I know grammar school nay have caused some ambiguity there, but grammar school is used in many English speaking countries. Usually, to refer to elementary, primary, or grade school.

Regarding your last diatribe, I didn’t even invoke transphobia. For someone so adamant on literal, linguistic definitions, you seemed to overlook the word bias. You have a predispositioned outlook towards trans people, because of your feelings on linguistic definitions. You inherently disregard hundreds of years of evolution in the English vernacular. Words have changed, evolved, and adopted different meanings throughout time. Do we need to cast out the word gay, because it now also means homosexual, when it originated as happy? Do we need to cast out the word terrific? You know, the word that was a synonym for horrific? I understand that you are ESL, but every language has different dialects, vernacular, and idioms. It’s why a thong in Australia is vastly different, than a thong in America. You can either adapt your knowledge of the language, or choose to emotionally hurt people on the premise of being “right and literal”. There is no need to create something new when society has deemed it acceptable. Just because you don’t, doesn’t mean everyone else is wrong. The question you must ask yourself is, “Do I care more about being right, or emotionally supporting another human being?”. If you have trouble answering that, well, we all have our answer then, don’t we? Cheers, mate. Hope you find, or have found, peace, love, and happiness.

I always found this argument funny because how would you use pronouns for someone whose gender you do not know? They. It’s they. E.g. you are given the sentence: Jordan went to the store to buy apples. And you want to ask a followup question regarding how many, you reply: How many apples did they buy? It’s not that complicated. They has been used for gender ambiguity in everyone’s lives since grammar school. People just have an inherent bias towards trans folks and it’s incredibly depressing and sad.
