I'm assuming that just hopping on a VPN that exits in Europe is not enough to do this right? You probably have to do a fresh install and say that your location is in the EU?

Looks like BAFTA doesn't either: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Academy_of_Film_and_Television_Arts

Cripes. Why did anyone think this was necessary.

As I get older and the abuse I put my ears through starts showing up, I completely agree. After upgrading my music library to FLAC from VBR mp3s, I stopped having the, "Oh! There's a subtle instrument going on in this part of the song!" moments.

It doesn't stop me from trying to listen to the highest quality music formats that I can get my hands on, but I 100% know if I think there's a difference to my mid-40s ears, it's probably a placebo.

Yeah, after the yuzu debacle, if I were anywhere close to the gray side of piracy I would pull down any and all links to funding.

I'm not sure how you would actually get that necessary funding - maybe through discord links periodically?

My hope is that they are going to say, of course a president isn't a god-emperor - and in doing so put to bed the argument for all cases outstanding.

Right now, there evidently isn't legal precedence that a president does or does not have blanket immunity for all crimes in perpetuity - we all collectively assumed that (along with a suite of other established practices that are not codified in law).

Trump thumbed his orange nose at things previously assumed like, "don't hire your daughter or son-in-law to positions in the Whitehouse" and "Hey, maybe don't hold foreign aid over a nation state in return for real or imaginary dirt on a political opponent".

As sad as it is, we kind of need SCOTUS to make a determination here, as Congress didn't pass laws after January 6th to specifically prohibit that activity.

I didn't intend to use it on the chest freezer - it was mostly for the modem, but since I had spare battery capacity and outlets I thought what the heck.

The power load is practically nothing until it cycles, and even then it's fairly efficient - my current runtime is estimated to be about 18 hours, more than enough to come up with an alternative if we lose power in a storm.

Seriously, make an effort. These took me 30 seconds and only a slight reprompt tweak.

While I appreciate the sentiment, most traditional VMs do not like to have their power killed (especially non-journaling file systems).

Even crash consistent applications can be impacted if the underlying host fs is affected by power loss.

I do think that backup are a valid suggestion here, provided that the backup is an interrupted by a power surge or loss.

I agree that 99.999% uptime is a pipedream for most home labs, but I personally think a UPS is worth it, if only to give yourself the option to gracefully shut down systems in the event of a power outage.

Eventually, I'll get a working script that checks the battery backup for mains power loss and handle the graceful shutdown for me, but right now that extra 10-15 minutes of battery backup is enough for a manual effort.

This is why I have about five of these bad boys: CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD.

One is in my utility room for my cable modem and our chest freezer, three back up my homelab and wifi AP, and one is for my office.

They've been bulletproof through storms, and when we've lost power, but not Internet I can't keep on working.

The big thing to look for is number of battery+surge outlets vs just surge outlets. Typically they top out at 1500VA - the more overhead for what you're powering, the longer you can go without mains power.

A screen/display is helpful for at-a-glance information like expected runtime, current output, etc.

It doesn't matter. He can hold off on liquidation until November and if he wins, (which would mean there's a strong chance the Senate flips), have his cronies pass a, " lol god emperors don't pay for summary judgements" bill.

One can hope, but I could easily see OAN spouting off bullshit like, "The illegal immigrants are setting these fires with green fuel bought by Soros."

It wouldn't take much for their base to eat it up.

What I don't get about the fundies that think IVF is against god's will - what about any other scientific breakthrough? What about antibiotics? Cars?

Hell, every time you fly you're effectively spitting in the face of the "Almighty".

Ah, but see, it is cruel. So in the conservative mind it's okay.

What did you use? I don't really want to just delete everything - heck I wouldn't mind having AI generated a sentence or two to replace all my comments. 🤣

I really need to get around to wiping my old content from Reddit. Much like Facebook, I just ignored it when I was done with the platform.

I use copilot a bit for my work - and I treat it like copy-paste from StackOverflow - sure that codeat look right, but you've gotta double check it and test it a few times before you commit and push.

Here's Bean! She's psycho, but sweet

But on the other hand, if we don't do that, we can have a whole new level of industrial espionage where Hyundai targets Toyota vehicles to make them seem less safe and take over a wider market share.
