Oh to be clear I wasn’t arguing the reality, but brandishing is what he’s accused of and that’s legally very different from open carrying.

Open carry and brandish have distinct legal definitions.

Grew up a stones throw away. Bluntly, not much. It’s a fairly dense suburban area. The closest densely wooded area is just the two county parks, one about 3 miles East and the other about 2.5 miles south. Neither is very big though. For a larger area there’s a nature preserve about 15 miles west, but that’s still pretty limited.

True wilderness is about 60 miles north.

Now Sibley county, where he was found, is quite rural but not wild at all, similar distance to wilderness.

Modern transistors aren’t just silicon though. The silicon is doped with various materials, presumably gallium, boron, arsenic, phosphorus, and cobalt, among other elements.

Steel tongue drum is so mystical to me. Amazing, relaxing sound.

This makes me so furious.

Literally every domestic violence study shows a pet being one of the biggest reasons an abused woman stays in a relationship right behind children. And the animal and children are often abuse targets too!

This will put the US even further behind in one of it’s most shameful measurements, but, hey it might shave a couple thousand dollars off a multi-trillion dollar deficit entirely created by the military industrial complex, so fuck 'em.

Can I guarantee? There are no guarantees in self hosting. By this logic you can never move away from Plex. There’s always unknowns. There’s always new issues to trip over. Plex is hardly without it’s own warts, but because they’re ‘known’ to you and your users nothing else will ever be able to measure up.

It’s a logical fallacy and a trap.

I set up Jellyfin basically overnight when the Plex pass changes occurred. Reverse proxies are trivial, as are docker containers, don’t let the anecdotes about things being hard or VPN being needed intimidate you.

There were absolutely bumps in the road. I had to make users for each person and email them customized sign-up links. Yes, that kinda sucked, but that’s the price for running and controlling the authentication yourself instead of though a 3rd party service that can and absolutely will eventually use that data to snoop.

Most of the time, once sent the link the users were fine, 9/10 of my users had no further issues and quickly adapted. For the last 1/10, I had to trouble shoot a few things and eventually ended up recommending a different device to connect with (it was an old TV with a really old version of Plex for TVs, they ended up buying a $40 Google TV device from Walmart and got set up that way).

The whole time I was running both Plex and Jellyfin so the migration process could happen at my speed.

My point is this: no, it wasn’t painless to switch. Yes, some tech support was required. Yes, the user who was getting hundreds of dollars (annually) of streaming services effectively for free had to shell out a paltry sum to upgrade and actually enjoys their experience much more now. No, that didn’t make it impossible or not worth doing.

I’m not saying what’s best for you and your users, and I’m absolutely not guaranteeing you’ll have no issues beyond these, but I hope you understand your hands aren’t actually tied, you’re just boxing yourself in.

Trump is notoriously a zero sum true believer, despite it being routinely mocked, disproven, and sociopathic. He fully believes that help given to people who are not him is wasteful and harmful to him, at least indirectly.

About $1200 back in 2010. Got a nice enough ring she’d feel proud to show it to people, but didn’t pay any more money than I’d saved up since I decided to propose.

To keep costs down I got a ‘perfect’ diamond with an occlusion you couldn’t see without a jewelers loop, and had sapphires on the ring to add interest without increasing the size of the diamond.

I’m happy with the decision still 15 years later.

• Linkwarden archives to multiple formats out of the box, including PDF and full HTML.
• Both Linkwarden and Karakeep use https://github.com/Y2Z/monolith in the backend. Monolith is battle hardened and widely used and accepted.
• ‘far from stable’ isn’t referring to the archiving, it’s referring to the frontend, tagging, etc. Features this blog post doesn’t even offer
• a hastily cobbled together, manual (more mistakes allowed), untested system is more fragile than standardized software used by many thousands daily

Or just use Linkwarden or Karakeep (previously Hoarder)

No. We very much did call the post/discussion format of Lemmy/Kbin/etc Threadiverse before threads was a thing or started federating. You are extremely confidently incorrect. You can easily test and prove this to yourself using a simple search.

Fediverse encompasses all connected Activitypub services. Lemmy/Kbin/mbin/pifed is the Threadiverse.

Threads when talking about discussion threading goes back to usenet & email group days. Meta co-opted the term.

Never claimed it wasn’t?

Threadiverse != Lemmy

Cannot up vote this enough. They have as much power as we collectively give them. They have proven this repeatedly by A) ignoring court orders B) In turn getting repeatedly bitch slapped by the judiciary overturning their orders and actions.

Blind compliance is the only way they succeed. Refusing to comply and fighting back is the only way the rest of us survive.

Totally fair!

That’s literally what OP said.

Jokes on you, they’re into that.

All respect to JetBrains, I’ve loved several of their IDEs… This was a dumb idea from the start. Way too niche and specialized. Honestly the allure of a purpose built language specific IDE is losing it’s lusture as well with modern architectures often blending several languages, configuration frameworks, IaC…
