I am in the US. My point was that the extreme waits exist here, too, and don’t seem to be tied to whether you have socialized healthcare or not.

It took me almost a year to get in for a routine colonoscopy. While I was waiting, the doctors I was scheduled to see left my insurance plan. I then had to find another provider and wait months longer.

Thank you! Here’s hoping you got everything you wanted for Christmas!

The embedded video of Zander Moricz is so good! Click the link and go watch it. If the first line doesn't sell you, nothing will:

"Bridget, our first interaction was when you retweeted a hate article about me from The Nationalist while I was a Sarasota County School student."

Hell of a way to open a comment!

I can't believe they published this article without including a copy of Computer Shopper in the image!

This is damage control.

Trump used a Hitler line in a prepared speech. The media pointed out the connection to Hitler. Then he used the exact same line again in another prepared speech.

Now the conservative media machine needs to help guide people on how to wave this away until after the election. What better way to do this than to demonstrate arguments that his supporters can make.

If people try to use these arguments, then ask them if they would have supported Hitler in 1938. If they say no, then ask them why they support someone who is saying the same things today. Don't even give these arguments a shred of daylight.

Seeing people recommend nginx proxy manager, I’ve tried to set this up but never managed to get the certificates to work from letsencrypt (“internal server error” when trying to get one). When I finally got it working a while ago (I think I imported a cert), any proxy I tried to setup just sent me to the Synology login page.

I think WebStation is causing this. I just investigated my Synology NAS and discovered that the default web portal is redirecting ports 80 and 443 to the synology login portal (which lives in ports 5000 and 5001 depending on whether you use SSL or not.)

Is this a PC port of the 1971 Star Trek game?

There’s such an easy solution to this problem. Just join the Democrats and vote to legalize abortion. You are a lawmaker, after all.

Don’t forget Marina Sirtis and Denise Crosby in XCom 2! It was quite the TNG reunion.

please don't say it ... please don't say it ... please don't say it ...

God dammit!

I don't know what I expected, actually.

Well, the flip side of that argument comes with people who are in dire circumstances and want to try a drug for the potential benefits, but can’t because it hasn’t been approved yet. I think it’s perfectly fine to welcome the good news along with the bad. Science works with transparency.

Thank you for going to the extra trouble to explain this! This is why I love communities like this.

I fully admit I’m not the most talented linux person, but you say that you created an smb share on Unraid, but you mounted it as if it were an NFS share. Is that just a typo, or could that be the root of your problem? I could imagine Synology Drive not letting you interact with files in the mounted folder if the permissions and ownership weren’t set up right.

It's scaring me how similar your situation is to mine! I also just finished scanning in a bunch of photos that my grandmother took. I chose to host the photos in the Photos app, and considered for a long time whether I would let that sync up to iCloud. Sure, the photos would exist on Apple's cloud. But if I die, they can only be accessed from my Apple devices. If someone can't get into them for any reason, they're as good as gone, because Apple -- as good a company as it is when it comes to customer service -- can't be counted on to let anyone else into my account to retrieve data.

So I stored them in Photos, and will store copies of them on my NAS, in hopes that having them in multiple locations will increase the chances that someone else can access them. Same thing goes with my data -- I ignore iCloud, but I store that data on my Macbook Pro, inside of its periodic backup, on my NAS, on the backup of the NAS, and potentially in the future, on a thumb drive. More locations means more chances of being able to get at the files in the event of a catastrophe.

It probably was. The activity sharing part of the Fitness app sometimes won't work if some users have a different version of iOS than you do. It will now warn you about this when sharing your data for the first time.

I am in precisely the same situation (except I don't use Backblaze. I store my data offsite in a safe deposit box). My wife is also non-technical. Here's what I'm planning to make the "bus moment" less impactful:

1. I've got a couple friends who are technical enough that she can call them for assistance. I'm running a VPN server that at least one of them knows how to access so they can walk her through what she needs.
2. I plan on storing the RSA key for the password manager, along with digital documents explaining how to keep certain things running on a thumb drive that I'll drop in the safe deposit box mentioned earlier.
3. I need to get my wife to log in to the NAS a few times and perform some basic maintenance to build a little muscle memory.

I've been trying to decide how to handle the critical documents backup. They're backed up on the NAS, but that's a complicated piece of equipment. I have them organized into a folder structure so that I can find them easily. I'm thinking of just dropping the whole folder structure onto the thumb drive, just in case. I can't think of a better solution, especially since my wife is going to be busy and distraught after I'm dead, so she won't be able to handle a super complicated retrieval process.

I will never unsee this.

There, fixed that for you, DoorDash.
