Very happy to own it, watched it in 4k. Will keep it forever. It will be a very long time until I watch it again. It was amazing, but if you’ve watched it you know why.
The older I get the more I eyeroll at the political posturing. It’s definitely worse than when I was younger, but also it’s all happened before. It’s just loud people trying to be loud to keep us all afraid and obediently going to work, then every 4 years it gets loud again so we vote for who they want us to.
Real convenient the border is such a huge issue a few months before the election.
Of course we still have to take it seriously, the minute we let our guard down they start implementing stuff, look at roe v wade, but even then they didn’t know what to do after that. It’s all about staying in power for them
I did it with blob storage, ended up being much cleaner and cheaper. You’ll need to toy with it a bit, but from scratch will be a lot easier than the migration I had to do. You’ll easily eat up 100+GB in pictures, which on the cloud on a VM’s drive that’s a fair chunk of money. Object storage is pennies.
Most comedy specials, the George Carlin post today reminded me of that. If you listen too frequently they’ll lose their punch, and you’ll stop listening to what they’re saying. Every few years I’ll listen to him (and a few other comedians) and it reminds me of everything
It’s actually kind of neat. They have their own “state” codes for the Air Force or Navy, and that’s how the mail is handed over to the military. They do have to give an apo or the like, but the deployed know that before leaving so family knows how to write.
It gets murkier once it’s inside how they route the mail, don’t know for sure, but as long as you follow USPS guidelines it’ll get to them. So, part of your answer at least
It’s more I don’t have them all checked out, and a good chunk are mirrors of github, so I’ll have to list out each one and push to a new remote, mirrors will have to be setup again, and I also use the container and package registries. I’m pretty embedded. It’s not impossible, but it’s a weekend project for sure.
Honestly for selfhosters, I can’t recommend enough setting up an instance of Gitea. You’ll be very happy hosting your code and such there, then just replicate it to github or something if you want it on the big platforms.
On the off chance that the world doesn’t end this week, let’s go ahead and keep living our lives
It was a joke but it stuck with me. Yeah it could all end. History says it won’t though. There are some real threats out there, but for my own measley self I should keep planning on tomorrow
George Carlin knew the world exactly for what it was. He simply held a mirror up to it and we simply laughed at it, because at its core our society is ridiculous.
Wars, racism, hatred, government. All societal things built up because we humans can’t control ourselves, because we’re still just brains swimming in chemical soup dictated by instinct.
I’m not joking when I say he was a modern day prophet.
For me, definitely. I’ll read the news before an election but even then it’s pretty targeted.
I realized that I trip up with anxiety with world and national news because there’s nothing I can do. Literally beyond voting there’s really no change I can make, so I don’t need to stay updated like I can do that.
Even our grandfather’s only had a daily newspaper to stay up to date. We humans just aren’t meant to consume that much, there’s no way our tiny soup brains can consume all of that and we stay mentally healthy
I had to teach myself last year that you can be an informed voter and also not constantly not watch the news. With Ukraine I realized I was constantly in a rolling panic attack and I couldn’t get out of it. The news was sensationalized so much. (Not downplaying the events, but they also rolled out experts who talked about how likely nuclear annihilation was and I was not handling that well). I realized it was all to keep me glued to my screen and clicking, and that made me kind of disgusted with them. Here’s a war going on with actual people affected, and they’re worried about how many clicks they’re getting.
I stay informed, I know the issues, but that doesn’t mean I need to be subscribed to /c/news and have a constant feed. I vote in every election, and if there’s something I don’t know I look it up. But I don’t need it daily.
