The more I’ve thought about it the more I think Pete really is one of the safer candidates in that list. He’s already been vetted at the national level from the 2020 cycle. He’s wicked smart, is a great debater, and from the people who have seen him speak gets people excited. He has a national presence already and doesn’t require giving up a governorship or senate seat.

He won the Iowa caucus in 2020 but because of their whole glitch thing it wasn’t official until days later. Should bring some good Midwest support too being from Indiana and presently living in Michigan.

Prosthetist. I work with patients to make and fit artificial limbs to them.

Aaaaand yes, this judge was another Trump appointee.

It seems a lot of the new ones have a cellular modem. On the surface it’s to let you remotely access the car or do a remote start. Even if you don’t pay to subscribe and use it for your purposes they can utilize it to transfer out the data.

I don’t think I realized that was a limitation because I’ve been using the Vaultwarden fork. https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden

Well said. I had hardware that was killed by “upgrades” or manufacturers discontinuing them from their cloud features. I now instal locally controllable hardware as much as possible and it has led to a much more stable and long term reliable smart home. Everything ties back into Home Assistant. The only remaining things I have with a cloud-reliant integration are the robovac our Nest Protect Smoke Alarms, and smart vents. The only reason they’re cloud controlled is there wasn’t a viable option that met feature and price point requirements. Everything else, (65+devices) is local Wi-Fi/Homekit ZigBee or Z-Wave

Walking on the Sun by Smash Mouth. I had a radio recording on a cassette tape until my uncle bought me the CD of the album Fush Yu Mang. I was only allowed to listen to that track off of it because my mom deemed the rest of it to not be appropriate. (As an adult, the other tracks were indeed totally inappropriate for a preteen)

$8 Million in cash on hand at the start of 2024 per FEC filings. So no.

Ditto. I’ve had mine for over a year now with daily use and it’s been great. Good room for tools, and a dedicated outside pocket for glasses. Inner pocket keeps water bottle in place. Organized device storage that holds 2 laptops, an iPad, Steam Deck, Kindle and travel router. The fact that it fits the exact dimensions under most airplane seats has been clutch for travel.

I had to make a warranty claim this week when some of the zipper teeth separated from the bag for some reason. For all the hubbub around the “trust me bro” warranty, support responded within 2 hours and is sending a completely new bag as a replacement. Top notch support.

There’s a bit more to it than just the Central Perk part. They’ve recreated the apartments and a few other major scenes and have a lot of props from the show. We had just finished a rewatch of the show and found it pretty enjoyable on a rainy day in the city. I think we spent about an hour in there and came out with some cool staged scene pictures. I still thought it was overpriced, but didn’t feel ripped off.

I think about the Ameristan stuff and people being “facebooked” all the time since reading that book. In the time since I read it I feel like we just keep getting closer and closer to that reality.

I’ve been using one for several years now with one of the documented switches that add multiple ports. https://docs.pikvm.org/ezcoo/#connections First in a DIY and then with the v3 hat Kickstarter I guess total I’m at $270 between the Kickstarter HAT and ezcoo switch plus the cost of a Pi (which I already had) I can reach 4 machines over my Tailnet and jump between them reliably. I can also control power on my primary server. (others are on a network managed PDU and can be forcibly reset that way if needed)

I had an old console from a job but it was so old that it required an ancient version of Java to access through the web interface. I’m sure there may be better options, but for my homelab setup the pikvm has worked well at a price that fit in my budget.

Another happy framework user. I have the AMD 13. The modularity allowed me to completely disassemble and clean/save the machine when my wife spilled an entire chai latte on a 1 week old computer. Fan can get a little loud, but the machine just works great and there’s a great community around it.

I’ve been using obsidian-livesync for a couple months now. Works great cross-platform since it runs directly out of my Vault and doesn’t cost $8/mo. Mine is running on fly.io right now but I may eventually move it to my own machine. https://github.com/vrtmrz/obsidian-livesync/

I can’t help feeling like Obsidian really missed the mark on their pricing here for hobbyist & home users. I can’t justify paying substantially more than something like iCloud or Google Drive storage when I’m using Obsidian to just sync some text and a few documentation images. Something like $1-2/mo would have been an instant buy for me, but at $8 it was worth my time to investigate other ways of syncing.

Same here. The NR200 has hosted my gaming rig for over a year now with a 5800x3D and a 3090. Airflow is reversed to pull air in the back and bottom and blow it out the top, with some thin noctua fans on the bottom intake to get a little extra airflow to the GPU. It’s a super capable and portable build. My brother did a near identical build with a 3070.

Also it fits in this nice sewing machine bag. I’ve brought it to friends houses to introduce them to VR and it perfectly holds an NR200, some power cables, a controller and my keyboard. https://a.co/d/anJj9sM

My aftermarket Openpilot setup does this with a camera pointed at the driver. I’m good about paying attention but apparently if it alerts too many times that you’re distracted it will disable itself until you restart the car.

It’s pretty much always been this way with the HP ones. Years ago when wireless printers were not the standard, we used to connect a printer to the family Windows PC and then share it on the network. We got a new one set it up, and the printer refused to be shared. Turns out HP had explicitly blocked network sharing in their Windows software driver for that printer. Never purchased another one since. Brother isn’t perfect, but I have multiple 8+ year old Brother laser printers still in service right now and they “Just Work.”

Yep. Essential healthcare worker here. Spent every day feeling like I was living in an apocalypse movie during my commute. Normal 30+ min commute was 22 minutes.

Ditto. This is probably my only Sync for Lemmy complaint right now.

I’ve had the exact opposite experience historically. Of 5 Seagate drives I’ve purchased over the last decade or so, only 1 of them is still working. Meanwhile 25+ WD hard drives are still in production over the same time with only 1 that started throwing smart errors a couple years back.
