Seeker, you learned your people’s language and then learned the way of the world.

I set this up for seamless commits:

function gao() {
     git add .
     git commit -a -m "$*"
     git push origin `git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD`
 }

Usage: gao fixing a typo

Atm Xbox is my most reliable media player. PlayStation isn’t quite there, but would be a nice to have. My parents aren’t very tech literate and they use their smart TV/cable box. I have a friend with an older Roku/smart stick that’s incompatible. Have they added an app for Apple TV yet?

I need client side apps and easily sharing libraries with remote friends. Both are pretty hard to give up and not quite there yet.

galarian weezing pretty much proves they already considered it

A coworker started getting used to client dinners, with super nice steaks. He was known to say “I’ll just walk up to a cow and take a bite these days”

On a very specific note, I don’t run my Plex server in a container. I have a docker compose setup with 20+ apps, but Plex is on the bare metal OS because it’s kinda finicky and doesn’t like nas. You also need to setup the Plex API to claim the server as the container name changes. This is my stock Plex config if it helps

plex:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/plex:latest
    container_name: plex
    network_mode: host
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Etc/GMT
      - VERSION=docker
      - PLEX_CLAIM= #optional
    volumes:
      - /home/null/docker/plex/:/config
      - /x:/x
      - /y:/y
      - /z:/z
    restart: unless-stopped

It’s built on the shipping container parallel. In order to transport objects you obfuscate anything not required for shipping a container.

• What’s inside the container doesn’t matter. The container has everything it needs to run because the ship/host is responsible for the overhead.
• containers move. Containers are setup to run by themselves, so you can move it from one ship to another. This means you can use your container doesn’t care if it’s in the cloud or a shipping vessel
• As soon as you open a container your stuff is there. It’s very easy to onboard.
• Most importantly though, your shipping container isn’t a full boat by itself. It lives in a sandbox and only borrows the resources it needs like the hosts CPU or the boats ability to float. This makes it easier to manage and stack because it’s more flexible

Am I misunderstanding siphon powers? Add invisibility and super speed… Aita?

I attempted to find the article but search engines are terrible. They mentioned that advertising companies often have a book of mail tests; things they attempted to mail to see if they would be permitted. Some of the examples included:

A sock with an address written on it, partial addresses, wet paper, vague addresses like your example, local names like “sues bar”, tom cruises house, a sandwich in a bag, poster board, flags. They get pretty creative and like a record of what might work for pitch meetings. Generally if it looks plausible, they attempt it.

People really love taco bell. It’s cheap, accessible and is injected with addictive sugar and fats. Their phone app is a privacy nightmare, food is low grade, but people love it so much that they learn what time food gets thrown out to get higher quality. Its practically a cult/religion. One of my friends is a fanboy and orders everything vegi + meat because it’s cheaper than the normal meat versions.

Oled model. Never got much more than an hour, but it depends on compute requirements. Imho it’s portable not wireless

Or we just go back to the old way; where a company sells a product and consumers just own it. Why does a static piece of software/video require a license? Updates used to be optional, but then company’s started selling broken stuff and writing out exclusions until we had no other options.

The simplest solution is Chromecast + device of your choosing. Followed by Apple TV, but I can’t remember if those can cast.

If youll spend a bit more, you can also get an Xbox one. You’ll get access to a multimedia device that has the Microsoft app store for subscriptions, it’s available as a Chromecast device, unfortunately Microsoft is nose diving hard right now, but I rarely play games on mine anymore.

More like buyers remorse…

First off, thank you for that write up. Would you mind sharing your opinion on 1x on trump and 6x justices simultaneously? At that point it’s a coup or a culling, but it’s a very loaded gun I don’t want to hand to anyone.

Modeling: YouTube is helpful here search for AutoCAD (computer aided design), mid journey actually has an unreal render I hope to export soon and ai is getting better and better at generation.

Buying a printer: 2 main categories plastic and resin. Plastic is easier, larger scale, generally printed in pla petg or abs each with their own qualities. Resin is generally smaller and more precise(read jewelery minis), and requires requires UV treatment/chemicals to cure.

Early recommended printers: (plastic) ender or prusa. Ender will be more maintenance and give you better tuning/control, prusa will be more expensive and work a bit better out of the box.

Material: highly recommend just starting with pla and when you figure out the basics, you can change materials. The other ones will last longer and survive longer, but 3d printing has a learning curve. PLA is a good introduction

First print: download the STL or model of a benchy, it may be tempting to print something cool first, but this is a tool that needs calibration. Benchies have specific dimensions to print angles, rings, platforms, bridges ect). Go download software of choice, 3 years ago that was Cura. Load the STL file and you can click around, but I don’t recommend changing much. PLA prints well around 200*, I liked to add 2-4 extra layers of “shell” for durability, hollow support TREES are fantastic for overhanging ledges - NO COLUMNS!!, 20% infill means it will be mostly hollow but print quick and have some structure. Cura would default to the most geometrically sound pattern (honeycomb). A raft will put a grid down first to stabilize, it helped day 1, but got in the way later. .

Follow a youtube guide on leveling your specific printer, when the print fails, lookup what went wrong here: https://www.simplify3d.com/resources/print-quality-troubleshooting/

3d printing is a lot of work, plastic deteriorates over time, but you can do a ton of cool stuff. I recommend finger surfboards, organization kits to start and the replica jet engine is a right of passage.

First off, it’s important to understand Responsive Design and why you shouldn’t be writing your own css these days as a newbie. Bootstrap is a public css doc with a lot of those problems pre-solved, so you might want to look up some of their tooling.

As far as a website: you’ll need a domain name, you can get some for free, but they usually have short renewals otherwise this is unavoidable.

You can pay for “shared hosting” at any of the major vendors like blue host or GoDaddy and get apache or aspx file hosting for like you said $X0/year.

You can use an s3 static website for ~free. Creating a DNS hosted zone is $.50. but you can create an s3 bucket (think flash drive in the cloud) store a threshold of free documents, and publish them as a website all within the free tier of AWS. This has some technical background and AWS can get expensive of you make mistakes (although this shouldn’t scale much unless you upload a thousands ton of files repeatedly)

Alternatively you can use GitHub pages . Git is a tool used by developers to share and edit code, they let you publish free HTML as well, but requires learning git or figuring out a tool with a UI like source tree. I don’t think you can use custom domains with this though.

Although if you have any interest in tech, you can also create a free nginx docker container through a lot of services like ecs, but you can also self host in a “sandbox”. Docker creates a mini virtual machine with all of the code required to run self contained. Nginx let’s you create HTML docker containers by mounting a directory. ~ docker start nginx /website/directory And it just runs self contained.

Awkwardly ignoring the nationals in the Somoa, Guam and Virgin Islands. You can even make a case for Wales and Ireland. This is unfortunately common the more I think about it.
