Idk why, but I’ve always gotten a eery vibe from Mark Robert. Very similar to what I feel when watching Mr. Beast. Whatever they do, it just feels shallow and disingenuous for some reason.

I don’t think it’s worth it to argue with a person of such worldview. Maybe someone with more patience than me will reply.

For me, the most essentials are definitely:

• PhotoPrism
• Jellyfin
• Navidrome
• Wiki.js

It’s simply the truth. Go around and ask 20 people if they’ve read a single piece of poetry in the last year, and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

It’s not even being edgy. Most people don’t get high concept art in general, and there’s nothing wrong about it. I certainly don’t understand classical dance, or abstract paintings. You need some degree of competence in any art form to truly appreciate it. To think otherwise is incredibly arrogant.

No war but class war.

None of the things you mentioned sounds even remotely plausible though. 🥲

Yes, electoral college should be abolished. It’s probably not gonna happen though, so this is a temporary band-aid solution that many states have implemented.

The script you provided works as expected for me. I’m on Arch, so the binary is called perl-rename, but no other modification is needed.

Even though it’s not as popular as the other options, parts of NetBSD are used for many usecases. Take a look at

and you’ll see many familiar names.

I don’t get this argument for practicality of classes. There shouldn’t be any budgeting, taxes related classes. You know basic math, an one hour YouTube video should be enough. For more complicated taxing situations, you’ll hire an accountant anyway. Cooking can actually be nice to learn, but definitely not in primary school. Some high schools actually do have optional cooking courses. My school called it Home Science. For job hunting, most schools do career counseling towards the end of high school. And home repair etc. should be taught by a parental figure. Not everything can be done in school. School gives you the basic tools so that you can learn whatever you need to learn to make a living.

Idk man. Homelessness will kinda suck anyway, because you have no place to rest, usually struggle to get enough food etc. Bad weather will make things much worse. Solitary is considered to be one of the worst kinds of prison sentences, unless you’re like a target for others for some reason. And high school can go either way. Mine was great, but it can definitely suck for some. But without others, how exactly is it a school? Maybe in some extreme cases of bullying, it might be better, but I think for most the loneliness will be far worse.

Ok, I guess I misinterpreted what you said. My laptop only has a DC barrel port. I want to charge it using any of the high wattage GaN chargers. To do that, I’ll need something that converts the USB-C to barrel, and does the voltage negotiations. But thanks anyway. Maybe this’ll help someone else.

Hey, I’m interested in the last thing. Can you give me some details on how to do it? I’d love not to carry around the bulky stock charger.

I took a look at it. From what I understand, some of the lines in your setup are redundant. The final product seems to do basically the same job as mine. In any case, if it works, it works.

Hey, great post. I have one request. Can you maybe add some description for what the iptables entries do? I have a similar setup with a lot less iptables rules that works well for me. But I’m not an expert in networking, and am now worried that I might be missing something that can leak my home IP.

At that point, you’re just paying for training Microsoft’s AI.

If smart people thought like this, we won’t have cryptography.

I’d say that mpv also has a place near VLC when it comes to playing everything.

I mostly use mpv to play local music nowadays. (Most of the music I play is streamed using a Navidrome server with Feishin as the frontend.) Back when I did use a proper audio player on Linux, Harmonoid was my go-to.

Navidrome does that. I think you just used a bad frontend. Try Tempo if you’re using Android. Or Feishin on desktop.
