I still love maps. Still use them because ....... I know it better than route planners and they never run out of batteries. It also still amazes me how navigation tells me it's still 40 minutes drive. 2 seconds later I take a turn and divert from the projected route and .... 38 minutes drive left. (I know ... vectoring math)
My oldest don't need a map. If she's been somewhere once she guides her mom to and from without hesitation nor mistake.

Rescued my wife today
One time my wife called me from her car while I was at work. I answered and all I heard "WHERE AM I AND HOW DO I GET HOME". (think nokia 2110 era) I knew she had visited a friend and figured she took the scenic road home like I often do. Just a few short questions and I knew where she was and tell her the easy way home. Kids still talk about it, they are amazed it worked.

Self-hosting Doesn't Actually Save You Money, And The People Who Promise It Does Are Setting Beginners Up To Quit
For me it's about ownership and control. The things I really need (mail server, webserver for my own purposes) can really run on a raspberry pi. Done that for years.
Today it's proxmox on a lenovo thinkcenter M710. One VM internet facing, one VM internal only (like home automation, nagios4 core, syslog to psql + grafana) way cheaper than a vps in the cloud.

Trump sparks outrage with [generated] video parodying zoo tiger attack
whenever he does something like this, everyone should ask "what is it he does that he tries to draw the attention away from?"

Mapped: The Male-to-Female Ratio in Every Country
To make it slightly more interesting look at the edges. I'm not saying it's related to religion but at least there is a correlation

I have to dig a pipe into the stony soil
Reply in thread
don’t need to dig very deep. Just deep enough to cover the pipe. So a trenching spade
That's the plan. It's just my backyard. It's just a cat6 cable. No risk of injury. It's unlikely to be cut by digging and if it ever does...... I'll decide then and there.

A coworker said "with paid subscription they don't use you data/chat to train the ai". Has been deccades since i laughed that hard.

Jim Beam shutting down bourbon production at Kentucky distillery for a year as Trump’s trade wars hit sales
Canada and the U.S. have since agreed to launch formal discussions to review their trade agreement
I don't think that's gonna make a difference anymore. Reverting the 2025 decisions will not revert things. The sentiment has changed among the common people.

Musk literally gave Trump a script for desperate ‘Tesla ad’
Only in the USA ... the president is doing product advertisement. In a democracy the president would be sent home and banned for life from any government function. How much more before the USA citizens notice something is very wrong with having him as POTUS

A "nato member" threatens invading another NATO member ......
Well Europe, we'd better gear up. Although I don't have much hope for us now our spineless 'leaders' don't even dare to call the Venezuela illegal (let alone an act of war)

Israeli student arrested for Nazi salute at Auschwitz during school trip
I'm stunned .... again !! .... I have visited Auschwitz and it's impressive beyond words. At the entrance of the former gas chambers there is a sign asking to respect and remember those who died in there and keep silent in the chambers. Everyone did except for Israeli students. That is what brought the tears to my eyes. Betrayed and disrespected again, this time by their own.
