Most law enforcement in my area already does use a form of encrypted coms. Have been for the last 25 years. As for my opinion on it, I can see both sides.

On the one hand, police com traffic often contains details about people's most painful or vulnerable moments. On the other hand, there has been a real problem with law enforcement conduct for some time and the darkness that encrypted com traffic allows for some real shady shit to go down unnoticed. It's the exact same arguments, for and against, for civilian use of encryption.

In the case of police in my local area, the com traffic is supposed to be recorded and made available on request. Never tried going after it, though.

Good article, but dear god, either hire an editor, or put it through a spelling and grammar checker. Preferably both.

I would have been surprised if they hadn’t fired her. Good on those two for causing a ruckus for a cause they believe in though. Nonviolent one too, well done.

They load. I have to specify http:// to get it to work though.

Fair. Shame the joke ain’t funny though. Personally, could use a good laugh right now.

Somehow, I don't thiink that is what caused them to start laughing at us.

Person investing account got drained during my last family emergency, so none.

401k? Haven’t checked, but probably about 15% since the last time I checked on it, right around the time Trump took office. Probably lost around 2% over the last 12 months based on the S&P 500. Looks like I’m probably still up somewhere between 50 and 90% since I started with my current employer.

Advice? Don’t panic sell. Odds are pretty good the market will be back up eventually.

If you’ve the spare cash handy now might be a good time to invest in individual companies with a solid track record of paying out dividends. I generally aim for dividend yields in the 5 to 10% range, but there might be some good bargains right now with higher yields. Just make sure they haven’t announced that they are suspending dividends or going out of business or something.

I've never done it myself but this may be what you're looking for.

I didn’t realize they were being boycotted again. Oh well, back to job hunting.

Please! That would be very helpful. I tried but got tired of banging my head against a wall. I'd like to see how you approached it.

I was thinking that as well.

Depends on if I want to listen to music or just have a radio on.

If I'm listening to music, I'm using Jellyfin. But I also have a large music collection.

If I just want a radio, it's either Spotify or Amazon Music depending on where I am.

On the one hand, this could actually be true. It’s President Trump after all. On the other hand it’s The Onion doing the reporting. Fuck! I hate this damned timeline.

I also attempted a semi-successful build of Gentoo on a PPC Mac around the same time (nothing before or after that has compared in its level of nightmare).

Amen!

It's doable. I personally run my Jellyfin instance publicly available and there's maybe 3 people who use it regularly. With my internet connection, WAN side users are limited to about 720p but I've had the 3 of us all playing different media at the same time on occasion. The main limiting factors on the number of simultaneously active users is how much upload bandwidth you have and how quickly you can transcode video files. Any 10 year old box will be able to handle 1 or 2 users at a time provided it doesn't need to do a bunch of transcoding. If your building a box, would use a 11th or 12 gen Intel or if you must go AMD, have a graphics card to handle the transcoding. The "build a box" route can probably handle 4 or 5 simultaneous users, possibly more depending on your hardware choices. The main limiting factor in that case would be your upload.

Didn't read the article and I haven't really used Android in a almost a decade, but aren't most android devices on seriously old versions and sold with 2GB RAM or less. Or are shit Android devices less common nowadays?

Last time I seriously considered an Android device was 8ish years ago and devices running Android 2 were still being sold new.

Its a bot account. It also seems to have at least 15 Lemmy accounts. I've just started blocking them.

What’s your utilization? On how many cores?

Starting blind, I’d start with cleaning the case, fans and heat sinks with compressed air (canned is fine, do it outside). Dust builds up, and prevents proper cooling. DO NOT LET THE FANS SPIN WHILE CLEANING THEM, the reverse current will damage your system.

Check for any failed fans.

After that, changing the thermal paste might help depending on how well or how long ago it was applied originally. Paste is cheap so no need to be stingy. Generally lasts about 5 years before beginning to degrade.

Dig long ago dug its grave. Then Reddit jumped in too. Long live Lemmy.

You're panicking. If you want to help, stop.

Life's a bitch and then we die. We haven't done more than get a glimpse of the bad part yet.

This shit started when everyone started looking to the federal government to solve all their problems. Started caring only about who was President but not paying attention to who was running the schools or local governments. Looking for the easy path instead of the right or best path.

As long as we still have elections, there is still a chance to turn this country around with minimal bloodshed. But it takes actually paying attention to whom your voting for and not just voting for the letter by their name. And then holding them accountable when they fall short.

I could go on and on about all of the ways that this can still be turned around, but I've got work in seven hours so it's bedtime.
