They definitely didn’t redact Bill Clinton: he features prominently in this first tiny slice of documents. Almost like they’ve cherry picked docs that would be worst for Dems while protecting their friends.
How do you do the shocked Pikachu emoji?

Georgia still has among the lowest per-kWh tariffs in the country, at $0.086/kWh (0.0806 in winter). Plus $14/month service charge and 20% taxes & fees. Compare California at $0.40/kWh.
This is my problem, too. I’ve gotten so entrained to hoard resources and make gold go up. I explore enough planets to put mines for every resource next to teleporters, then I run around the teleporters collecting resources until the overflow my storage. I’m a little jealous of people who have the creativity and attention to build big, elaborate bases with all of those resources - they look cool, it must feel very rewarding to see them develop, but if it’s not utilitarian, I can’t motivate myself.
Of course, I’ve got probably 200 hours hoarding resources…
I got my Pi4 to be a media player - LibreElec or Kodi - for my old, not-smart TV. It plays my library of CDs&DVDs, frontend for OTA TV, and a variety of streaming services. Fanless, so it doesn’t distract from audio, low power, so I don’t mind leaving it on 24/7. You can configure it to listen to a USB IR receiver, but I control mine from phone via web. The actual media library/NAS and tvheaded run on an old desktop in another room.
My favorite thing is all the sensors you can hook up. Adafruit & Sparkfun have a wide array of sensors with breakout boards for simplicity and well documented python libraries. I started just logging temperature, humidity, then air quality, CO2 to my own database and web page, but eventually expanded to full HomeAssisstant system.
Pihole.
SATA is really convenient for larger storage, though. I keep my OS on nvmes, but I’ve got a couple of SATA drive and a hot swap bay for games, media, etc.
Also how I got my favorite color shirt.
I kept reading r/Eve for years after winning. Seemed to slow down after the casino war, then the Mittani left. Just today I see that Pandemic Horde is disbanding.
Considering that it cost him nothing to create the coins, I’d say he and his fellow top-holders have gained $4.8B. The 20% they’ve already converted to cash, mostly in the beginning, north of $25, is another $6B. When you’re selling a stock of free bytes, it really doesn’t matter what the rubes are willing to pay each other in the secondary market. They’ve already cashed out: anything left is just gravy.
Good time to be a grifter; good time to be an extortionist; good time to be a politician with his own cryptocurrency. Nothing else is real.
Tandoor: I ended up there because it has an API that I can access and cross-reference to my grocer (Kroger.com also has API) to get current pricing, calculate recipe costs, nutrient costs, or find what’s on special this week. It’s theoreticcally possible, but I haven’t sorted out how to integrate that directly into tandoor & its shopping lists.
I saw Marques Brownlee’s review of the Xiaomi SU7 yesterday, and the contrast with this Lucid review is amazing. MB spent his time gushing over how amazing and bug-free the software was, how great the UI/UX, and all the little quality-of-life details in the hardware and design.
The “resist government tyranny” people have always been a (very vocal) fringe group. Quasi-historical, quasi-fantasy, a little bit like historical re-enactors, but with a plot that makes it seem like they could be talking about today and real life. AFAIK, no one outside the groups actually think they will be the people to lead an armed resistance, mostly because no one outside of the groups actually thinks there will ever be a circumstance involving a widespread, armed resistance.
The one I knew, we’re sitting in this little pizza shop having lunch, and he starts going on about how he’s mapped the exits and positions of cover in the restaurant, in case a crew would barge in to rob the cafe and its patrons. Had his eye on a couple of people who might be troublemakers. Obviously had his gun with him, but probably too many people around to use it if the place did get raided. All in this nice, quiet, suburban neighborhood.
A lot depends on how many users you expect and how much media you expect. For one or two users with that stack, transcoding media is really the only CPU load. If most of your media is already in your desired format, then that’s not a big deal.
My stack is pretty similar (no *arr, plus tvheadend, homeassistant and a kodi frontend) for two users and it sits near idle all day long. It runs on an N100 NAS system off Aliexpress with 16GB and will transcode 1080p to x264 at just about playback speed… System runs from a 100 GB nvme, with a couple half-full 4 TB WD Reds for data. 35-ish Watts, maybe an extra 5 when actively transcoding. Used to be ~150 USD,
If you want a lot of 4k content, then I’d definitely go with the GTX 1660.
Republicans are always looking for small populations to fuck over. There’s only ~25M people on ACA, or about 7% of the population. The rules are complicated and mostly hidden behind automatic calculations done by marketplace websites, so most people’s experience is just that the website gives them a price list and they choose one to pay. Can’t tell if price hikes are due to actual insurance company rate hikes, changes in the tax credit structure, or their own increased income.
For politicians, it’s a pretty safe bet that the size of the affected population and obscurity of the cost structure will prevent any serious organized blowback. Insurance companies are going to be scapegoats for this.
Same. Eventually upgraded to a Pi 4, which doesn’t have any trouble with 1080p content. Pi 3’s onboard wifi was also problematic, and I had to run it over wired networking. Kept that for the Pi 4, so I don’t know if its wifi is any better.
The GOP got where it is today by repeatedly replacing establishment Republicans with more conservative republicans, until ‘right wing nutjob’ became the baseline. I no longer believe that replacing Republicans with corporate democrats will make things change. Slow the bleeding, maybe, but not change. Replacing corporate Democrats with progressives is the only way we’re going to move the needle now.
If he knew what he was doing, would he need to be vibe coding? The target audience are exactly the people most susceptible to collateral damage.
It’s giving me vibes like…other people have been signing stuff in Trump’s name that he only discovers later, or that he’s signed a bunch of stuff that - discovering later - he wants to blame on other people.
Or maybe he just thinks he was President during Biden’s term. But I’m pretty sure even Trump can’t govern via social media post.
If you want it to be an actual community service, then you want it to be something that outlives your residence, your tenure as event coordinator, and your interest in being the neighborhood IT guy. It’ll be much easier to transfer control of a VPS to your successor than to give them hardware that also hosts a bunch of your personal services.
You can start with a very small, nearly free VPS while you recruit users & scale up as (if) anyone bites. Probably even get the HOA to pay for it.
