Never used syncthing so I'm not sure. Resilio is running a modified bittorrent protocol. It's always been fast and easy for me so I've never had the motivation to look into anything else.

Resilio Sync instead of something like Dropbox or Google Drive.

Fastmail is pretty solid too.

They would need to build an office within a ten minute walk from my home.

One could argue that decentralized, bottom up organization is essentially the structure of the modern evangelical movement.. It's also kinda the playbook for modern terrorism though.. ISIS, Timothy McVeigh, etc..

It would be nice to have moderate conservative voices in the mix but unfortunately that world just seems to be filled with mostly batshit crazy ideas that do more harm than good.

It's *nix under the hood. You can run docker images really easily on it for extra functionality. I doubt the DSM tooling is open.

SUVs are popular because they have emissions exemptions.. Car makers, you don't have to push this garbage anymore with electrics. Just let it go, man.

IIRC, Americans under 30 can do this in Australia too.

Check the neighborhood maps on nomadlist. Check out where there are supposed to be cool stuff/people. Usually I just search Google maps for things/streets in those neighborhoods for things that might be interesting.. Cafés, restaurants, bars, shops, etc..

You MUST get used to meeting locals when you're traveling a lot. Meetup.com, couchsurfing, internations, dating apps, or even the hostel where you are staying.

For context, I traveled full time, nonstop for 4ish years before covid. This is how I did the majority of my travel. Things like attractions or museums or historical places get really old really fast. If I never set foot in an art museum for the rest of my life, I will not be upset in the slightest. People, food, shopping, culture.. This is the only thing I feel is worth seeing anymore.

I always rolled my own Debian servers on microitx boards. I found a cheap synology a few years ago though and gave it a shot.. I'm a convert for sure. They fully live up to the hype and are absolutely worth the price.

Ages ago I did this with some cli tool that found episode/movie metadata stored in themoviedb or somewhere and just built a shell script around it. I don't remember the name unfortunately. Now I just let Plex manage it and I don't bother.

This looks like it might work though:

Looks a lot like the Citroen Ami (which I love driving).

When I die, just stick a ham bone up me ass and let the dogs carry me away.

I'm shocked the auto zoom function isn't mentioned. I am zoomed into the area where I am. I search for something. The app zooms out to show me results from places literal hours away.. Sometimes on different continents. I'm annoyed, I zoom back in to where I was, click on a result, and it zooms out AGAIN. WTF?

I still get nagged constantly to add a birthday to my Google account to make sure I am older than 13 or something.. To satisfy some dumb law I think. The email account is like 15 years old though. How could I be under 13 if it's that old?

Yeah I came in from the TechTV days too.

Sara Lane had a download of the day about the Synergy network kvm thing. "It works for both windows and linux."

That's how I ended up installing Linux for the first time.. I didn't know anything about it other that I hated windows and that was something different. 20+ years later I basically haven't been without a Linux box ever since.

EVERY American needs an escape plan if they get sick/injured.

My mom needed dental work done. She didn't have the cash and asked if I could help pay for it. I started googling and a few days later we ended up in Budapest. We were there for a week. The flight, Airbnb, dental work, and some touristy stuff combined was less than 1/3rd of the cost of she had just went to the guy around the corner from her house.

If it's non-life threatening or chronic.. GTFO of the States.

He bought it in 1999. Adjusting for inflation, it costs about $490k in current dollars.

EDIT: Also the point isn't really about how much it cost as it does who financed it and how the payments were made (or not). If someone who made a fortune in healthcare loaned a scotus judge money for a luxury home/vehicle Thomas would have a conflict of interest on cases involving healthcare.

Corrupt windows nt boot menu circa 2003.. It should have said "last known good configuration"

They always let me pump my own gas when riding a motorcycle in NJ. My mom would be clueless if they dropped that law though.

I honestly have never had a problem sleeping on planes. If I'm tired before I get to the airport, I can often sleep through takeoff. On short flights I've only woken up after the plane lands.

For long haul flights I typically look to see what the local time of my destination will be when I arrive. If it's at night, I stay awake for the whole flight so I can crash as soon as I get where I'm going. If morning, I'll sleep the whole way so I can start the day fresh-ish. It really cuts down on jetlag.

For context, I got a remote job in 2016 and went full digital nomad basically until covid hit. I was living out of a single suitcase and flying once a month on average. I genuinely love flying. Pretty over the whole fascination with travel though.. In some ways it kinda ruins you. Now I'll only go somewhere if there are things I know I can only buy in the destination or if I'm going to visit friends or family. I have zero interest left for any tourist destinations, historical sites, museums, etc..
