Wanna know what I wear under me kilt?

Me shoes!

Is this why Tim Pool moved to West Virginia?

Yeah, wages have been generally stagnant since the 1970s while per capita productivity has continued to rise.

The fact that the CPI around the world is a blatant lie doesn't help either. Anyone who doesn't have their butler buying groceries knows that.

So I agree that we shouldn't trust central banks to do the right thing. Even if you think raising interest rates is the right thing to do, they're almost certainly going to do the wrong thing along the way anyway because they don't work for us, they work for themselves, the governments, and the banks.

Oh my goodness, could you imagine staking your professional reputation on the next Google product, and they just shut it right down?

Remember that relative to previous examples of elevated inflation, interest rates really aren't that low. Ask a boomer about the 80s and 90s -- ask them what a mortgage looked like back then. Double digit interest rates.

The bigger problem is that the entire world was following terrible economic practices for a decade. Interest rates near 0 and super lax lending standards meant tons of bubbles in particular in housing. that's one reason why so much housing is insanely expensive. Then, because the fundamentals of life like housing are so expensive, people need massive wages to live. Then, because people need massive wages, the price of everything goes way up.

No, but google didn't need to do XMPP to create a messenger either.

It makes way more sense to me that the experiment with federation will ultimately be to connect their own services. For example, so you can follow an instagram thot from your facebook, or you can message someone on whatsapp using facebook messenger.

If it isn't search or video, Google always has one foot out the door.

I believe that one of the reasons the stadia failed is everybody knew about the Google graveyard and wasn't willing to buy into an ecosystem destined to die.

I wouldn't be surprised to find that this is also something that would affect their ability to attract good talent. People want to feel like they're working on something meaningful that's going to stick around for a while. Putting years of your life into developing something for Google just to have it hit the Google graveyard has got to be deeply dissatisfying.

If you were using a vfd in order to control the speed of the escalator, a lot of vfds have intelligence built in, so you could just wire it up and have the vfd take care of everything. On the other hand, I can see a bunch of reasons why a current might work really well for a short term demo and start to fail immediately after. Start to get things gummed up or also trying to deal with very small people riding the escalator, the trigger point might be difficult to keep straight.

"follow the constitution? We'll have to stop doing like 90% of what we do around here!"

Failure is a feature, not a bug.

Wonder if they'd use a current threshold for determining if someone is on the escalator?

I've been self-hosting a wide variety of things including nextcloud (which is one open source project I advocate everyone look at, especially on a web domain so they can access it from anywhere)

Go linux for hosting your open source projects. Just do it. I'm not saying that because windows is inherently worse than linux, but because everything out there is documented as if you're hosting off of linux. In fact, you should really consider using Ubuntu-server, because most things have documentation specifically for ubuntu.

Going with windows server as mostly just s hyper-v box with your linux installations inside, that might be worthwhile.

If your IP address appears static, then you can probably just directly configure dns through the web interface of your domain provider. There's a great script out there for doing dynamic dns using different providers such as godaddy, that could be some insurance to make sure you don't end up with a non-working social media network.

One thing you should consider is running one virtual host as your reverse proxy that redirects different subdomains to the different individual servers running your services. The reverse proxy server running something like nginx would then deal with all your subdomains, and if you work on say your nextcloud and need to reboot it won't take all your services down at once because your reverse proxy continues to function for all your other services.

hah very good point.

Til! Thanks

A self-hosted ebook solution would be nice. It's surprising the holes in kindle even tbh

I don't have experience with it, but I've heard waydroid runs android apps on Linux.

What is this "retirement" you speak of?

Oooh! The period where they put us all out on an ice flow when we become too old to work!

In practice, don't be surprised if most of the fediverse doesn't defederate from either.

That's a good way of putting it. I've made use of it to get a preliminary gist of things, but ultimately I end up needing to use my human brain to actually come up with final solutions to my problems.
