Sounds like a great idea - I suspect the biggest obstacle will be finding someone at the home who is confident enough in what to do with it to be willing to accept it.

I’ve run into similar issues with schools where they are hesitant to accept donations of things like that because they don’t want to be saddled with equipment they don’t know how to use and maintain. Maybe worth seeing if you can raise a bit of money for a second hand Xbox or something?

Taking donations for a specific purpose (developing jellyfin core) then spending it on something else (donations to other related projects) is something donors and tax authorities generally frown on

git-annex maybe?

Heavy metal poisoning will kill you slowly, as opposed to the rather more immediate sensation of catching fire while getting severe frostbite

Natural (unenriched) uranium isn’t especially radioactive and while there is plenty of exciting chemistry that could happen, none of it would be quite as immediately exciting as what would happen if you tried to freeze oxygen solid enough to make a dildo

The biggest step forward since the invention of teledildonics

As a software dev who has lost weeks of his life dealing with timezones, leap days, daylight savings time, date math and other associated nonsense I fully support this being the way the world is. I don’t want to go through the transition to get there though

Tiktok has some super arbitrary automatic filters that look at description + ORC text in the video and will black hole anything that matches certain words.

Like anything, there ends up being folklore about what words trigger the filtering (cos there is no public list) so people end up censoring stuff that might actually be fine, but it’s hard to know for sure

Pando is the heaviest iirc

Definitely interested - is the mainline situation any better than with ARM?

I’ve been bitten before with a device that “supports” a major distribution, but only if you install our custom pre-built image (good luck auditing what we’ve tweaked) and only with our special pre-built kernel that isn’t even an LTS version, and has a bunch of patches applied to support whatever weird peripherals we decided to throw on the board, and will get exactly 0 updates after the initial release.

Raspberry Pi gets around this by being big enough to get buy in from vendors (Ubuntu distributes a special kernel + firmware bundle), but support for all the other smaller knock offs seem shaky at best

The reason openssh links liblzma in the first place is to enable a systemd feature, so naturally “systemd bad, it’s proximity to a security issue is yet more proof that a pile of shell scripts in a trenchcoat is a superior init system” etc

This is the sort of thing the cranky old wizard says to the hero before inevitably teaching them about mushrooms so they can go on a magical adventure

Australia and New Zealand do not fuck about with sun safety. Even with the improvements in the ozone layer, our skin cancer rates are still way higher than the rest of the world

How’s the rollout of the 10G stuff going? Seems like it’s been coming “soon” for the last couple of years. Not that I could actually make use of 10G down.

950 down, 500 up for $109NZD/month

A quick guide to explain what is going on here, and what the numbers mean: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DaMLUoGXUAI21V6.jpg:large

The thing about kereru is they are thiccc. Even when they aren’t drunk flight is a serious challenge for them on account of their very low chonk-to-brain-cell ratio. When they fly, they make a really loud fwop-fwop-fwop noise as they use their sheer girth to pull themselves through the air against gravity, natural law and common sense.

The US deliberately hid their involvement in some absolutely horrendous crimes - von Brown oversaw a facility where tens of thousands of people were murdered - so they were not prosecuted for war crimes. There were plenty of people in the US who could have replicated the work, but they were so worried about the Soviets that they let some truly monstrous people go totally unpunished to get ahead

150m a year for one of the most trafficked websites on the internet is a bargin

That’s interesting - thanks for explaining. I guess this is baked in, and designed so people feel like they are getting a great deal?
