that is not an appropriate age 😞

sooooo… vpn should point to Portugal…

almost certainly

You mean there is a chance 🤑 💰 /s

Thank you thats useful to know!

But humans will still be able to live… Right?.. Right?..

Yes I need to do something about picking a location for them in the house. Loft sounds great, but it gets hot in summer. Downstairs would be nice and chilly but you don’t want to hear this… So much to think about

Not tried those drives in particular, but got 4 Seagate’s exos (can’t recall if they are 16 or 18tb ea), very happy with them. A bit loud but they are also 7200 spin. Can get them on a real good offer sometimes

Go Roman and use lead pipes!

This is a true story

So I have been in Xinjiang, specifically Urumqi in 2010, about a year after there were local tensions and riots (I didn’t know about the riots until after I returned home). It was summer and I saw police in full riot gear, in APCs in groups of 10-15 at a time patroling the city. Not roadblocks everywhere, but multiple such patrols. I still felt safe (as a westerner, its super safe).

So there were clear, heavy local tensions. Now you are right about the news we here are obviously one sided. You have to take some critical thoughts about what is likely happening. However inter province travel requires you to present passport when buying a ticket. It’s not really a sign of a free and fair society.

I don’t keep up with internal Chinese politics beyond vaguely being interested in HK, but seeing what happened there you can make a fair assumption that in the mainland things would be harder for folks who don’t fall in line.

I suppose they are also offering some kind of guided meditation as well as meals? I mean yeah it sort of sounds expensive, but also you do have designer handbags and jewellery that gets ridiculous prices.

Anyway yeah I stopped doing meetup for a long time and absolutely detest SAAS business models of alot of digital vendors too.

Can you post where that is from please? I seem to stumble on desktops that cost 10x as much!

Yes I was looking as a client to replace the “smart” TV app that is increasingly becoming bloatware with something I can control. Just kinda need a “self hosted” client that can support 70mbps 10bit hdr streams or there about.

Ohhh I wonder if this can work as a 4k 10bit uhd Plex/jellyfin client?

Oh I see, I misread thank you for the correction, I guess it depends if the deposit is basically to stop people reserving the place and backing out last minute, so they organiser gets to keep the money. Its like a non refundable hotel?

Oh I see, I misread thank you for the correction

It’s about $110 per night, with included food and organised events of some kind. While I don’t know if this is expensive or not it doesn’t seem unreasonable to charge money for food and board of this particular event? Isn’t meetup just handling bookings and payments here? Or am I missing something.

Saying that I stopped using meetup probably a decade ago. So not sure where it’s at these days but from the other rooster mentioned, meetup+ sounds like crap twitter move

I like Manjaro

• I like it
• Its user friendly if you don’t want to spend a month fiddling with it
• Feels comfy and relatively lightweight

• If you are living on the edge of latest and greatest versions, it can be a pain to wait for official repos to be updated. Though I only noticed this problem with Discord desktop app, however since I realised that it spies on every process that runs and you cannot turn that feature off. Uninstalled. Problem gone. Happy me.

I am sure women initiating divorce procedures will be on the chopping block of republicans by the next administration

Ai magic money tree will keep printing money out of nothing and we save on headcount!
