lol, right..."misdeeds"

I will never understand the move from forums to discord. when discord is the only way to get assistance, I go find another product.

right? it is literally the definition of libel...

congratulations!

what's up with all the down votes?

'Nice wallpaper" - downvote

"Yay!" - 2 downvotes

"Here's a tangential fun community" - 3 downvotes!!

... come on people! let us all enjoy socks, wallpaper and Linux!

or to Musk? it is a fact he lied on his naturalization documents regarding his studies and employment. nothing will be done.

this statement along with people telling me to "make up my own mind about the causes"... is infuriating.

the civil war WAS about southern states rights...to determine which human beings they could enslave and how many. any other reason given is incomplete, not truthful and completely misses the point.

the date on the order is 2/31/2026..... 🤦

was going through some old pictures and decided I'd post a retro setup. pretty sure I took this picture with my android g1....so 2008ish?

here is a pic of one of my first selfhost setups. I began selfhosting for music and have never stopped. this iteration was stuffed behind a bar that was built in to the basement at my old house

the old fashioned was custom built and was running some flavor of windows server. the one on the floor was the first Linux server I had run to do something useful...torrents and subsonic IIRC. I pieced that server together with random parts, mostly donated from old family PCs. two UPS units were on the bottom rack of that metro shelf to battery back the servers and the tomato router out of frame.

I'm no engineer, but 33 feet does not seem like a deep enough hole to be pushing a bunch of radioactive debris into. seems shortsighted...

the part I think is ironic about the infidel patch is that an infidel is someone accused of disbelief in the primary beliefs of a system/religion... the name fits perfectly since these ass hats obviously do not believe spirit of the Constitution.

"Your ears you keep, so that every shriek of every child shall be yours to cherish—every babe that weeps in fear at your approach, every woman that cries 'Dear God, what is that thing?' will reverberate forever with your perfect ears."

both protest and protestant come from the same root word. and, I would agree that they do "mean" the same thing.... to declare publicly or testify.

the -ant ending just makes it "person who declares publicly"

I have an older version, without that snazzy red handle.

9+ years old, absolute workhorse.

No, it's a caricature of America the through the lens of a potentially demented and definitely criminal narcissist.

why so many downvotes?

keep it up OP!

also, cool shirt!

they didn't use maligned, monitored areas for communication.... people today should coordinate face-to-face or at worst via telephone if they haven't already exposed themselves.

take it out. I had more than one ballon on me when I left them in.

there are lots of reasons it can happen,but since this was in a closet I didn't notice it and I suppose could've been a fire hazard eventually.

some laptops might have reduced performance in this configuration though.

the analogy I always draw is to wine.

the difference between a $5 bottle and a $20 is perceptible. but, the higher you go, the returns diminish exponentially unless you have a specific taste... and at some point paying the excessive amount of money becomes status not necessity.

yes, potatoes are conductive, but they don't have any shielding and the distance the signal travels in those experiments is irrelevant to practical applications. it is essentially a big wire nut.

if your application is long distances through conduit or many cables run in parallel you need higher quality ones with shielding. Granted, that is not the typical listener's case.

one of my specific issues is use of the word intelligence. exactly 0 of the "AI" built over the previous 60 years is "endowed with the faculty of understanding or reason"... it is false advertising at best and a scam if we're being honest.

if they called it "bag of words" processing or "computer that is pretty good at guessing what your taking about" i'd be less irritated when people laud it's accomplishments.

at the core, all of these technologies are signal processing and pattern recognition, nothing more.... no matter what musk, altman and the rest say there is no intelligence in there.

This just in! Hot things are hot and they make other things hot.
