  • Probably a me problem but kept having problems with that docker on unraid, it's just in the community apps 'store'. The vm seemed to just crash randomly.

    I switched over to their B2 storage and just use rclone to an encrypted bucket and it's ~<$5/mo which I'm good with. Biggest cost is if I let it run too often and it spends a bunch of their compute time listing files to see if it needs to update them.

  • The little Ford EV hatchback they sell in Europe is a lot more attractive than a Tesla personally. I just wish we could get them in the US, but the CEOs have apparently decided by fiat (hah) that no small cars are desired.

  • The show Bones had a lot of weirdness, but I did appreciate that they consistently (at least the first few seasons when I was watching) stripped the bones down and even had a bug guy on staff to do it efficiently.

  • If my family hired an actor to impersonate me at my killer's trial and give a prepared speech about how I felt about the situation it would be thrown out of court.

    If my family hired a cartoonist or movie studio to create a moving scene with my face recreated by digital artists and a professional voice actor to talk about my forgiveness for my death, it would be thrown out of court.

    That they used a generative program to do it and the Judge allowed the video to influence the sentence as if it were a statement by the deceased is deeply troubling.

  • F1 maxes out around 6/7Gs, but they're not solely limited by tire friction, they're effectively upside down planes that use their airfoils to get more traction. A lot of the difference is sideways Gs are harder. A pilot getting pushed down into their seat while banking through a turn can have more control than a driver getting pulled to the outside of the turn.

  • I bought a trmnl and it's pricey but works pretty good. I've mostly been using a few out-of-the-box plugins for it.

    There is a selfhosted/offline version of the server you can run for it, so it can be 'offline' in theory. I keep meaning to mess with it more but haven't put the time aside.

  • There a lot of numbers higher than the 9Gs that are safe-ish and reasonable-ish for human drivers/pilots to experience regularly. A big bag of water with bones inside that likes to breathe doesn't take well to high levels of acceleration, eg. really fast turns.

  • "Very little fiber", "Frequently have a lot of oil", and "Relatively high in salt and sugar" aren't a classification, they're vibes.

    "Use of Emulsifiers" is worthless. Eggs, garlic, and butter are emulsifiers.

    NOVA is not about finding stuff out, it's about creating a science-y sounding framework to replace the food pyramid.

  • Building from source is always going to come with complications. That's why most people don't do it. A docker compose file that 'just' downloads the stable release from a repo and starts running is dramatically more simple than cross-referencing all your services to make sure there are no dependency conflicts.

    There's an added layer of complexity under the hood to simplify the common use case.

  • A Maverick is a light truck in much the same way a 737 is a small plane. Sure there are bigger ones, but it's a 4 door truck with a 4 foot bed that's high enough to make loading and unloading harder than it needs to be. It's twice the weight and almost twice the size of a 70s/80s Toyota Pickup, which is a light truck.

  • They "work" in much the same way having a big dude standing over the questioner's shoulder playing with a crowbar works, they sometimes make the person being interrogated nervous. That's it. They're about as accurate and well regarded as phrenology.

  • And even if they did, it doesn't matter.

    "But they have an iPhone / Computer / Telephone / Refrigerator" is a very tired trope about how people shouldn't complain. None of those are luxury items anymore and, even if they were, someone prioritizing getting one doesn't mean they aren't struggling. A used or prepaid iPhone/smartphone is <$100 and necessary for even the lowest jobs and assistance programs and far more available and useful than a full computer.

  • That's awesome! Hopefully AirBnB doesn't donate a million dollars to Trump for an exemption.

    I do kind of wish these things required some kind of disclosure instead of letting them pretend they're super consumer friendly and don't need any of that demonic regulation.
