Soooo many accounts blocked the last few days. Bad things can happen to bad people without frothing at the mouth and going full bloodlust, but so many people here seem incapable of that.

I get it, the victim could not be any more unsympathetic. But the responses here are beyond sickening. Thank you for being level headed; I appreciate you.

I am so far from happiness circa 15 years ago lol

Combine the post with your comment, and you’ve got a good c/DadJokes submission

Yeah, there’s definitely a z-axis on that graph which represents time. Good point.

I feel like there’s got to be a point on the curve where the money to problems ratio is just right lol.

I’m guessing the phrase originated with people who have money?

Oh, that’s handy.

With present tech, I don’t think so unless the area where you’re being tracked is full of equipment that can read the tags (think big RFID readers like you see on the exits of stores). Unless the tracker implant is fairly large to be able to contain/harvest power to power their own active transmitter. Then it would probably be noticeable or at least uncomfortable.

I’m basing this on the fact that we chip pets with passive tags, and those don’t seem to suffer any kind of rejection/infection.

I signed the pledge to not ever federate with them, and unlike the DARE pledges they made us sign in school, I’m taking this one seriously.

Another fun fact: Because both are written in the common metre (alternating between 8 and 6 syllables), much of Emily Dickinson’s poetry can be read to the tune of the “Gilligan’s Island” theme

Oh no :(

I learned so much from him over the years. Used to visit HowStuffWorks almost religiously.

Is there a TL;DW for that?

When I think of mechanical batteries, I think of flywheel energy storage. Those can deliver a lot of power, but for a short period of time. Is this describing something similar, or something more novel?

That would explain Jeremy Bearimy

Short answer: Yes

Long Answer: Good lord. Yes, it would be something a bad person would do.

In effect, any gains you make will be blood money. Have fun with that on your conscience.

I always do some level of RAID. If for no other reason, I’m not out of commission if a disk fails. When you’re working with multi TB, restoring from a backup can take a while. If rapid recovery from a disk failure is not a high priority for you, then you could probably do without RAID.

Either way, make sure you test your backups occasionally.

Another way to put it: With RAID, a disk failure is like your Check Engine light coming on. You can still drive, but you should address the problem as soon as you can. Without RAID, it’s like your engine has seized up and you have to tow it for repair and are without your car until it’s fixed.

I’m not a data scientist but I support a handful. They all use Python for the most part, but a few of them (still?) use R. Then there’s the small group that just throws everything into Excel 🤷🏻‍♂️

Good luck. I’ve tried for years. Like, I have a “signal” but can never get to a point where I can use it. For me, it’s “how did I get here?” but if the situation isn’t ridiculous enough, I just roll with it and never think to ask. If it’s too ridiculous, I just wake up.

I like Joplin. Works offline and syncs with my Nextcloud.

Does Tesseract start off with an initial set of pre-built categories?

No, but I’ve wanted to do something like that (similar to what PieFed does). Just haven’t gotten around to it yet. Unfortunately, there’s no API support for that in Lemmy, so the instance admins would have to manually populate it.

Tesseract seems not intuitive to me … learning curve

You’re not wrong. Side effect of having so many features and making UI compromises so everything that works on desktop works on mobile (without a dedicated ‘mobile’ mode) lol.

As I keep adding stuff, the menus get unwieldy so I have to come up with new ways to expose the features. Lately, I’ve settled on interactive modals which has cut the number of menus (and menu items) down considerably. On the other hand, I have practically no user guide docs, only admin/setup docs, so that is something I can work on to hopefully make it more approachable.
