What do you say to corporate apologists or climate change deniers? It’s a similar dynamic to unions and scabs. We’re all in this together but scabs undermine the union by providing a workforce to undermine the solidarity of the union in a strike. This isn’t a rhetorical question. What can we say to reach people that don’t believe or don’t care about the consequences of corporate greed?

Going on daily walks or short trips to a gym a couple days per week. I feel so much better after I started consistently exercising, both mentally and physically.

So that’s how circular saw blades are made… never knew.

Those look delicious. What are you scoring with? Looks like it may not be sharp enough or your stroke is too flat.

Spot on, buddy. There are efforts in the US Congress to make DST permanent. The main pushback is from the medical community… Humans are not nocturnal animals. Exposure to morning sunlight is linked to better health. Standard time provides more morning sunlight overall. However, people tend to consume more products in the afternoon or evening so it’s no surprise to hear businesses and their protectors, politicians, pushing for more evening sunlight. Switching between DST and standard also results in more accidental deaths and lost productivity, as others have pointed out in this thread. We have a shitty compromise currently in the US and some other countries. Most of the world does not indulge in this absurd practice, so I doubt the US will ever get on the right track in this area. Much like the metric/imperial system problem.

I’ve never heard anyone who likes DST… this thread confirms my bias. Arizona has it right. We have internet now, no need to change clocks, just update your schedules for the season.

Can’t change the default match pattern that iOS uses or add apps to the URI match in Bitwarden iOS. Makes for a few extra clicks on some apps and sites.

That looks awesome! Post a cut loaf picture if you can.

Forgot the /s. Definitely share that recipe. Chick peas are amazing but I’ve never heard of making French toast with them. Spices are so vast, making a top five is really just about what’s in my nose and on my palate. Cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, coffee, brown sugar. There’s another five.

I’m glad you think so. My French toast never comes out right but maybe I need more garlic. Or should I put cinnamon on the list?

1. Garlic
2. Smoked paprika
3. Cayenne pepper
4. Onion
5. Dill

My neighborhood has bulk trash pickup monthly. Most of the bulk trash gets put out the week prior to pickup day. The majority of this trash doesn’t make it to the dump! People with trailers come by and pick up anything remotely usable. I like to think they are reusing/upcycling this stuff but I really don’t know. I see this as a huge win because it keeps stuff out of the dump but it does feel very dystopian to see a junk economy like something from Fallout.

I’m in the USA btw. Others have pointed out that some countries have different laws regarding ownership of trash. Don’t get in trouble with law enforcement, get to know your neighbors better! It’s not trash if they give it to you.

If you can find a Samsung Galaxy Tab s5e, they’re cheap and remarkably functional for the price and size. I’ve been using one for years for light use. Mainly streaming media and internet browsing. Accessories can be a bit limited due to the age of the device.

Otherwise, an older iPad will not disappoint.

Tablets have really matured recently. Not all changes have been good but the average price for an actually usable tablet has dropped across the board.

The Surface Book is a distinct product line from the Surface Pro. The Pro series is a tablet form-factor and what most people think of when they talk about MS Surface devices. They’re on the ninth generation of these if you don’t count the Pro X (ARM) devices. I’ve used an old fourth generation recently and it holds up as long as the glued-in battery isn’t dead. The Surface Book starts at way too high of a price ($1200 IIRC) and has several anti-consumer tactics deployed in its construction. A cheap Surface Pro may be a good investment. A Surface Book is not, from my personal experience. There are also the Surface “Go” devices. These are built smaller and with cheaper internals. Not bad but definitely limiting compared to the Pro series. Think Apple-clone netbooks/tablets built by Microsoft…

My parents showed me the episodes of TNG that didn’t have any content they objected to and taught a moral lesson. Most episodes have a moral lesson so I got to watch most of TNG before I was an adult. I have since then watched most of the available Star Trek content out there outside of anything TOS. I may find it in me to watch TOS but I’ve been hesitant to go back before TNG because that show is special to me.

TrueNAS will be moving away from Kubernetes/Helm charts to Docker/Docker compose in Electric Eel TrueNAS Scale builds and on. You might want to reconsider this move unless you are gonna stay on an old build of TrueNAS. Not sure what is going on with TrueNAS Core. There are other NAS OS options too.

My experience with migrating data varies dependent on the app. I don’t have experience with Navidrome so I can’t really help there. Using in-app tools to migrate to a new implementation usually has the best results when working with networked data with metadata in a DB.

I actually just upgraded my Dell Optiplex 990 SFF to a new full ATX case and had to get a new motherboard. Dell does some funky stuff to their motherboard to get it to fit into their custom cases. For instance the CPU cooler clipped into the case through the motherboard This was one of the ways the motherboard was secured into the case. The other mount points were entirely non-standard so no other case would fit. I did consider making some modifications to the case with a hacksaw before deciding to just get a new case and motherboard. The new Motherboard was pretty cheap because I was using a 4th-gen intel i3. Not great specs but good enough for a homebrew NAS.

I watched the intro during the first season of every series. After that I generally skipped the intro. I found out they actually re-recorded/remixed the Enterprise intro somewhere late in the series when I was late to click the skip intro button. It still sucks and I hate it.
