Not thinking is kinda their whole thing to be fair

I think you understood the point I'm getting at, which, to your credit, you delivered more eloquently in your second paragraph than I've managed to do so in any of my comments in this thread.

Just curious, do you worry that wearing a mask in public to protect yourself might be construed as unprofessional to these same "corporate types?"

I'm not going to be giving people an email address that ends in Tuta or Tutamail, especially verbally.

You're really over thinking this if you believe even 10% of the people you interact with give a single fuck about a silly domain name

Who's your audience?

I haven't kept up with him in a while but Dr. Glaucomflecken is /was good but seems aimed at other health care professionals. If that's your intent, I don't mean to be a wet blanket but Dr. G I think already has that lane covered.

If your audience is the general public then deal with topics relevant to them instead. Why you pay more for less every year. How to fight back, within the system and without. If I were doing it I'd point a big fucking spotlight at the leaders who have the power to fix it but refuse. They have names and addresses. Good luck.

Edit: reading comprehension failed me... other HCPs will already know about this... leaving this up, look upon my shame!

More on topic: If I were doing this I'd also highlight the extreme moral/ethical implications of healthcare being a "business" in the first place and how that will always lead to putting profits over people.

Thank you. Please forgive, I didn't intend to imply aesthetics fix everything despite my comment appearing so.

Where can I read more about this topic

Submitting the "President Trump has formally extended a PERSONAL invitation to YOU!" mass donation email as evidence he and I are true best friends

Yes... severe storms and tornadoes are unfortunately a factor where I live. I've seen neighborhoods here that look just as ruined as the one in the photo, sans ashes... and of course most of the new construction is lumber frame. I even saw a 4 story apartment building go up last year, all lumber. Seemed wild to me. One of the many ill effects of housing being considered a commodity instead of essential to human life, I guess.

Makes sense to me, thanks. That last one though... Not sure if crawlspace foundations are common there but if so I bet their vents were open. That's horrifying to imagine embers blowing in and turning your crawlspace into a bellows

Dude was horning in on their turf, no way they could handle getting beaten to market by some rando

There's a campaign near me to protect valuable old trees which are slated for destruction. These trees are on public property and being killed to make way for a parking deck. The misguided decision makers have already made it "legal" for them to do this, and some of us intend to fight.

I would love to hear any stories or tips on how to approach strategies for raising public awareness, staging actions, and the like. Tree sitting is already a given. I think our situation is at the point now where we cannot prevail via the legal system. They're doing the murder by the book. I think the only leverage we have is to turn public sentiment so hard against these actors that the political cost for them is too extreme. And even that's a longshot.

Thanks and much love.

Update: I welcome discussion of all methods and actions! After reflecting further I wanted to say I'm particularly interested in agitprop and messaging strategies. Perhaps this is discussed in the Ecodefense link - will be checking that out shortly.

 

I spun up an instance of paperless-ngx on my Docker host a couple days ago, and just yesterday got my document scanner configured to send things to its Consume folder. So far I'm beyond impressed and I wish I'd learned about it much sooner! I run a FreeNAS server which has collected a lot of important documents in its 10 years of life... all of them arranged in folders as best as I could. Fuck folders, tags are the way.

It was easier than I expected to get the container running and tell it to watch a folder on the FreeNAS share. So I have a decade of pseudo-organized archives to import? Click and drag the folder, and it's done. Amazing.

The automatic tagging seems OK so far. If I'm working on several documents of a similar provenance it starts suggesting appropriate tags after I manually tag about 10 or so. I'll be interested to see how it does as I train it more.

I was never going to pay for a service like this, even though I really needed it. Finding out about paperless has been a revelation for me, haha. And on top of that it's the most "just works" of anything I've tried self-hosting so far. Easy to set up, and it seems feature-rich with a good UI. What's not to love? penguin-love

Anyone else out there using paperless-ngx and have any tips or tricks to share? Things you wish you knew before?

Perfect day for some Sketches

 

got to hear this at one of Simon's DJ sets in the early '00s and it's been one of my favorites ever since
