Trucks are demonstrably more dangerous than other vehicles on the road.

My unpopular opinion is that truck drivers should pay a higher penalty when they’re involved in accidents. Every moving violation in a truck gets bumped up, one degree, from civil to misdemeanor, from misdemeanor to felony. By driving a pickup truck you are choosing to endanger other drivers on the road.

Following because I am really a beginner myself. That said, I have been self-hosting a dozen or so services for about 2 years now. It is very intimidating to begin.

A docker container is basically a sort of virtual machine stripped down to what is precisely essential for a given container. That means that apps running in docker are repeatable and will run identically on any hardware and software.

When it comes to networking, you can choose to have services exposed to the internet or not. If they are not exposed, you can only access them over a local network. That might be fine for a nightly backup or HomeAssistant that’s only operated locally. It’s a good place to start.

You can also use a certain type of VPN to create a virtual local network. That allows you to access your home server from any connected device. That’s what I do, using Tailscale. It is fine if you are only connecting to the server from a limited number of devices, since each one will need to be logged in to the same network.

I have a boox, and it’s great! I wouldn’t mind having a little one like this that you can basically toss along with you anywhere. Always a few minutes to read a book instead of scrolling.

Naw, just get better compression algorithm bro /s

History refers to the recording. That’s why we have the term prehistoric, which refers to the period before events were recorded.

Bonus: historiography is the study of the record itself

This is literally my dog every single day

An elegant software for a more civilized age.

Sure, a lot of it is exactly the same. Hormone treatments for men with low-T, hair removal or replacement, plastic surgery, etc. We don’t trend to call it gender affirming care in cisgender people, but that’s exactly what it is.

Hard agree. Some sans-serif fonts add a slight curve to the lowercase L, which seems like a no-brainer. But that’s just me.

lol thanks!

Sometimes you want a larger screen for media or multitasking.

Or in the case of the flip-phone form factor, you want a phone that you can put away or fit in a smaller pocket/purse.

Weirdo.

It is recording (v), but it’s not producing a recording (n). That will probably turn out to be an important legal distinction.

There will be a lot more legal complications with the summaries because people will have an expectation of reliability. It’s pretty unlikely that they will be consistently reliable enough, or consistently avoid privacy traps, like HIPAA.

Regardless, it’s creepy.

Creep.

True, but they’re not all creating a stenographic record of everything said in their vicinity. As far as we know

Well done. I’m still trying to make it through Don Quixote, so I get it. I was expecting a quick, fun read, but it is really more like trying to binge a soap opera. sure, it has very episodic chapters, but also a through-line and recurring characters that disappear and come back later, and it just keeps going.

Don’t tell me how it ends, but just tell me if it’s worth it… does it eventually build to something satisfying?

I really enjoy an e-ink display, but I’ve never owned a Kindle. Just doesn’t make sense to me.

In any case, there is a good chance you can unlock/jailbreak an older kindle and make it usable again (arguably for the first time).

Who on their marketing team decided that books and burning go together?

They’ll really do anything to avoid making a better product, huh?

Holodecks are discrete programs with subroutines.
