Couldn’t agree more. Consistency and predictably; I wish more people would think - and drive - like that.

I do not, but I sleep soundly knowing there are people that do, and that FOSS lets them do it. I will read code on occasion, if I’m curious about technical solutions or whatnot, but that hardly qualifies as auditing.

I do +5, just below fine limit. Haven’t had one in years.

Situational awareness is key.

10 over on left lane (right for UK) while the other one is free? You’re the entitled speed police asshole. He’s the dumb tailgating idiot.

10 over the other way around? You’re doing nothing wrong. He’s still the dumb tailgating idiot.

I don’t condone assholery on the road, but it’s still my license and my fine if I’m speeding up for a tailgater. So if the right lane has slow traffic and I’m overtaking on the left, I’ll stick to whatever speed on or above the limit that I consider safe. Unless the tailgater has blue lights flashing, I’m not obliged to do a damn thing.

Time to engage cruise control on exactly the speed limit.

Incoming lawsuit in 5…4…

That’s Romania saying no to MAGA style populism.

7 Shades of Truth

Lots of dynamic DNS providers allow you to register a aubdomain and update the IP it points to with an API call. You can use something like this tool for it: https://github.com/lopsided98/dnsupdate - just run it on a schedule on the same machine and you’re golden.

There are also Docker container based solutions if you’d rather go that route. Once you have a stable entry point, you can decide what to do with it.

I would personally get a Raspberry Pi and run Wireguard and Dnsupdater on it, use port forwarding in the router for Wireguard and close down everything else. Then share the Wireguard connection details with your friends and family. You can even set it up so that Wireguard connections are only granted access to your Jellyfin server, plenty of tutorials out there on how to configure firewall rules on the Wireguard machine.

This way to dadjokes, sir.

Technically correct. If Ukraine folded to Russian aggression, there would be no war. Just Russian tanks peacefully visiting Europe like it was 1964.

Which is why I’ll close with: Slava Ukraini!

PS: looking purely at impact of military investments (albeit in a foreign military) Joe Biden might be the American leader that managed to inflict the largest Russian military losses since the second World War, at the cost of practically 0 American lives.

Nobody “made” money here . Ask yourself: who was on the other side of the bet? Pension funds? Retail investors? Insurance companies?

This was a brazen act of highway robbery. There’s a reason SEC is supposed to pursue insider trading. Once the trust in the system is lost, the whole thing folds like a wet deck of cards. Supposed to, but they won’t do a damn thing about this.

You can’t park this at the door of a single individual. This is systemic grift. Fuck the party of law and order.

But… the swamp…

Proceeds to elect Darth Shreck for a second term.

Yes your honor I lit up but didn’t inhale.

Hero.

I was thinking about the future. Think of a cornered Hitler with access to hydrogen bombs.

Wow that’s even scarier than what I had in mind. Good intentions all the way down.

The fucked up thing about humanity is that we invented our own destruction, put a shiny red button on top and wrote on it “do not touch”. As if there would ever be a scenario where pressing it would make sense. And seeing the rethoric coming out of Russia these days, I can’t help but wonder. Damn, I guess this is what my parents lived with at the height of the Cold War?

Wrong guess.

Harvesting this ice is not carbon neutral.
A ship filled with ice will burn more fuel compared to an empty ship. A refrigerated ship even more so. An ice cube paid with petrodollars to travel a few thousand miles just for some asshole bragging rights, I mean, I can’t even… Why is there a demand for this in the first place?

The gall of claiming this a low carbon business is perplexing. Low compared to what, exactly? If I make solar powered freezers in UAE and freeze distilled water, I’m pretty sure I would get the same results at a mere fraction of the total cost. But hey, no bragging rights.

When the world starts burning, these guys will be selling marshmallows on the side. Fuck everything about this, from the bottom of my heart.
