IMO the laundry thing is an easy example of the larger issue of extreme privilege. Being able to live on a rich friend’s property in the woods by a pond sounds awesome. I’m sure I would love that and it would do amazing things for my well-being. But that’s just not a relatable thing for most people and it can really sour the message.
Except, ideally, a PhD thesis. Which should contain a completely new piece of information for the world.
2024.1.6 was released on Tuesday. That’s what the stable image tag appears to be on at the moment.
Doesn’t look like anything exceptional, just some bug fixes: https://github.com/home-assistant/core/releases/tag/2024.1.6
I’ve been looking for something like this for a while. Going to try it out today, thanks!
IIRC 2 and 3 (and possibly 4) were filmed together.
I see season 1-9 packs on both IPT and TL.
To be fair that’s a pretty recent development. Jellyfin apps for smart tvs are only just becoming stable enough for real use. Plex was the only option for a long time.
I run Lemmy, Plex, and a bunch of other services from a desktop in my basement. It works great. The Lemmy docker setup is a little finicky but works well once you get it.
Digital assistants are good for timers, turning on smart lights, and sometimes playing music. None of those things require a large language model to spit random text back at me.
There are quite a few creators who are primarily funded off patreon and release content to YouTube. I imagine a group like MCDM (Matt Colville) who has patreon, merch, crowdfunding, and products doesn’t really care about ad revenue.
I disagree. Each distro is a user of a thousand different open source systems. When a distro developer integrates gnome, systemd, bluez, or whatever other system they’re finding, reporting, and possibly fixing bugs that end users might miss. Other than arch users, who else is compiling these things from scratch and really digging into the documentation?
Doing this by hand is challenging but possible.
First you need a hex editor, not a text editor. xxd on linux will get you started but you might want something a little more user friendly.
Then look for a label for a value you know, xxd and other hex editors will show ascii text on the side. Hopefully you’ll be able to identify the value (in hexadecimal, probably 4 bytes but could be 1, 2, or 8 as well) somewhere before or after the label. You might have to get familiar with endianness, two’s compliment, and binary floating point before the numbers make sense.
Once you know how to read a value after a label you’ll need to find some label for the information you don’t know. If it isn’t displayed in the program it might not have a super readable label.
Distributed but high trust.
Zero-trust blockchain tech has no value. There is no such thing as a zero trust system in real life.
Except blockchain solves no useful problems so you will never find it behind anything that isn’t explicitly using it for marketing.
It’s literally the same argument. A virus exists that disproportionately affects a group of people. That group is uninteresting to me so instead of just saying I don’t give a shit I call it a force of nature.
We are a little special because we can conceptualize how our actions will affect the spreas of a disease. A world leader is a little more special in that regard because they can enact policy to curb disease on a wide scale.
Having the knowledge and power to help and not doing anything is a moral failing. Blaming it on nature is covering that failing with nonsense.
Its as true as saying AIDs was nature’s way of dealing with gay people. Which is to say it’s absolutely untrue and way of passing off moral responsibility to anthropomorphized concepts.
I’d highly recommend adding a license file. Right now it’s more source available than open source.
How far apart are your 2 communities and what size user base are you expecting?
If they’re closeish there are probably some point to point network options you could experiment with for a low bandwidth backup link.
Expected users really just determines if you need things like load balancing, identity management, etc.
Until I was reading about this project I had never heard of it. And I would consider myself pretty plugged into torrent news.
I actually think your hypothetical smoker is a great example of the opposite. Someone who lived it, understands the struggle, and ultimately regrets their choices is exactly who you want to hear from. It’s why the really cheesy don’t smoke PSAs don’t ring a chord with most people, they don’t feel genuine.
I don’t think Thoreau is some enormous hypocrite, but I do absolutely understand why some people might feel bitter about it when they learn the greater context.
