Yay! We’re up for another month!

Maybe you could share more details about what being “an admin” means? I’m sure there might be a few of us who would want to volunteer but aren’t sure if they possess the prerequisite skills.

Human reporting that this comment was made with 100% organic brain cells and that strawberry obviously has 2 ‘r’s. 🍓

“So you want to be a wizard” by Diane Duane. Opened my eyes to magic systems that just aren’t just hocus pocus and wand waving. Remarkably well designed for YA.

Urban fantasy with well thought out magic systems are still my favorite type of books to read today.

I don’t read as much these days but your description of this coffee shop makes me want to!

Your phone’s hotspot likely doesn’t create a local network. The other problem is that Tailscale works by creating a secure tunnel between your client and your PC. Local devices won’t have access to this secure tunnel. You need to setup Tailscale directly on the client device you want to connect to your PC from for it to work.

I’m not sure what this article is trying to imply but if I got an evac alert at 1am I would be dead because I would’ve been asleep.

It’s possible Grok was fed a massive training set of Elon searches over several more epochs than intended in post training (for search tool use). This could easily lead to this kind of search query output.

One of the prettiest fediverse apps I’ve seen. Nice work!

Still can’t believe I signed up for this instance solely because of the cool name. I don’t deserve this wonderful community 😢.

I appreciate the transparency and frankly couldn't ask for more. Shit happens and this is a one-person operation. Thanks for all your effort!

By this logic we should remove Clarence Thomas from his seat by executive order and call his tenure deijustice.

Thanks! I'll stick to the RAID 1 option then. I was looking at S3 Glacier for backup when it comes to that. But I really don't want to worry about it too much until I've really got something going that I plan to use longer term.

 

I have an old Alienware r8 and several 2-4 TB HDDs gathering dust in a closet. The Alienware actually runs remarkably quiet and it occurred to me I could turn it into a DIY NAS.

I’m not entirely sure where to start though. Some immediate questions:

  • What’s a good NAS OS to install?
  • Any fun things I can do besides plex transcoding with a 1080 GPU?
  • Would it make sense to run a Pixelfed/Mastodon server off this guy?
  • Can I run a RAID on it without buying a separate HDD bay?

Background:

I already have a Synology NAS running Plex. It transcodes 1080p fine which is really all I need it for.

Other than a Plex port forward, I have zero experience putting services out on the public web (but would like to learn!).

 

Started up season 2 of Avatar The Last Airbender and it occurred to me that I never skip the intro sequences for any episode of this show. It’s just so good.

What other show intros can you not skip?

 

I thought it was the cologne they spray at the store, but even clothes I have delivered from a distribution center also have a smell that is very discernibly NOT Tide detergent.

How?? What are they washing these clothes with to make them smell like that??

  1. Post a wish, like for a genie (e.g. "I wish for a million dollars")
  2. People comment with ways it can backfire. (e.g. "Great! Here's 2700 Zimbabwean dollars.")
  3. Profit!
 

I understand that weather on TV can’t be hyperlocally accurate. But a weather app on my phone has my exact GPS coordinates. Why can’t it tell me exactly when a rain cloud will be passing over my location?

It’s gotten to the point where I just use precipitation maps to figure out my rain chances for the day.

The hourly forecast is mostly useless because it’s not a chance % but a % of the area that will be raining.

 

I've noticed that most commercially available glass screen protectors are too reflective, or too noticeable. It really takes away from the gorgeous Apple display.

Has anyone used a brand that mirrors the quality of finish that comes on the iPhone displays?

 

Just learned that a friend of mine always tips 10% on takeout. Ive never tipped on takeout unless they offered me a water/soda while I waited or something.

US biased, but I’m a little curious about other countries as well.

 

… is an extremely lackluster feat. I had originally read the skill description as being a main OR bonus attack and that felt really strong. After getting the feat I am now stuck with a meaningless skill that takes both actions for what is essentially just a walk + hit.

Am I missing something with this feat?

 

No way to reset or go back other than by resetting the app. Screen is completely blank and white. Only the system menu bar on the very top is visible (clock, cell signal, wifi signal, and battery).

 

Competition is great
