I hope every subsequent rally has even more people!

I had forgotten about doing that myself. I did that on a couple servers once the distros had full 64 bit builds. Does that technically count as an architecture swap in-place as well?

“Medium: Same as easy but go from the derivative to the base.”

I can’t quite recall, but I think I did exactly that with Ubuntu -> Debian once upon a time. I think Ubuntu was only a year or so old though, so there wasn’t a huge amount of divergence back then. As a bonus anecdote I also attempted a semi-successful build of Gentoo on a PPC Mac around the same time (nothing before or after that has compared in its level of nightmare).

Fix regression with saving states of user queries

Awesome, I’m really glad that’s finally fixed. That issue made my use of FreshRSS almost pointless.

Nope, I still use Emby myself. Although I’m in the process of switching to Jellyfin I think. I have it running separately to sort of evaluate it. Jellyfin was a fork of Emby, so there are a lot of similarities.

I’ve had Infuse Pro for about 6 years and it has been an absolutely perfect app for me. I’ve used it across many different iterations of home media servers (Emby, Jellyfin, NFS, SMB, etc…)

If you use Apple devices it’s the best way to go.

Great video, thanks for posting! This guy articulated a lot of thoughts about algorithmic recommendations that I’ve never been quite able to form into coherent thoughts myself. I definitely understand why I decided to go all in with the fediverse or social web half a decade ago or so now.

I wonder if anyone (not in the government) was able to get a copy of this database before it vanished? In the same vein, I wonder if there are other databases that need to be copied before they’re gone?

Sadly I have to agree with you again.

Yeah, you’re likely right. I wonder if ICE officers were apart of this law enforcement accountability database that was erased today?

Well that’s just awesome, another reason for cops to “protect and serve”.

Maybe some folks will get some more money out of the inevitable lawsuits that will occur sometime in the next decade.

I definitely look forward to a future where I might not have to consume NSAIDS like candy anymore, because those are definitely doing some real damage.

It is very interesting and amazing stuff, no doubt about that. The future of medicine is only going to get more amazing, but I suppose I just really have very little confidence in that space because of a lack of understanding in oddball humans like myself who have somewhat bizarre physiology. For the vast majority of people, I think having a pain medication that doesn’t also slowly kill you is obviously a net positive.

I have chronic pain and I’m all for innovation in the realm of pain management, but I personally won’t even think about taking that drug for many, many years. Fucking with sodium channels sounds super dangerous. There are so many variables they just could not have tested or even guessed at. It also doesn’t help that if there’s an adverse reaction to be had, I’m gonna have it.

I’ve been wondering that as well and I had a kind of scary thought; maybe there is no opposition party this time around because what’s happening is exactly what all parties involved want to be happening. I’m just so baffled by the state of politics in the US that I can’t help but to feel like we’re witnessing some kind of sea change in the fundamental structure of the government. Unfortunately it is not a progressive or thoughtful change in ideology.

Damn, I didn’t think of it quite like that, but yup, that’s exactly the result.

Indeed! Kinda makes me want to come up with some sort of “snac-service” idea.

That is obviously good for people who’ve amassed a lot of medical debt in the US. Anecdotally, most of the people I call friends have at least a few thousand dollars worth of medical debt and the idea of trying to build credit or get loans is alien to them because of it.

That’s a really cool use for snac! It’s perfect for something so straightforward and uses so little resources that I would imagine if you eventually have the entire planets weather forecasts being published it would still only use a tiny amount of bandwidth and power!

I think one of the main reasons why the fediverse didn’t blow up much bigger than it did over the past couple of years is because of the weird and insistent need to explain how it works from every possible angle with seemingly every possible analogy. It’s information overload and it only confuses the shit out of people who do not care in the slightest how it works.

Hmm… maybe if we tell the nerds that they need to add an “abstraction layer” to their explanations that might motivate them to simplify?
