Thank you for your service! o7

Good to know they’ve seperated his ashes so he can’t regenerate.

Also, “Um, Actually” is a different College Humor/Dropout show.

Ah, yeah, guess I never realized it’s a .NET program. Never understood why an open source dev would choose .NET, but what can you do.

Also despise Docker (especially the modern over-reliance on it), but that always gets me into trouble when I admit that publicly.

I’ll admit I haven’t really looked into it, but how is the Jellyfin web interface insecure? I don’t currently, but in the past I’ve used ssh reverse port forwarding to my VPS and then used an Apache proxy and letsencrypt for ssl on a subdomain. Maybe I was just lucky, but I never had any problems.

Unfortunately we’re in a drought and it was surrounded by trees. On the one hand, finishing what General Sherman started sounds like a great idea, but it also would cause a lot of pain for innocent people so there are good reasons not to go that route.

It was actually recently taken down, I’m local and heard the reason was something to do with it never actually having been properly permitted to be on the land it was on or something.

Edit: Zoning and not obtaining proper permission for it to be that tall were the reasons it was removed. https://www.wccbcharlotte.com/2026/02/14/judge-orders-removal-of-confederate-flag-along-i-85/

It’s been really nice to drive through that area and not spend the next 30 minutes fuming and plotting to shoot gallium-filled paint balls at the aluminum pole it was on.

Almost certainly not. All you would really need to do to stop this is limit who can submit pull requests to verified devs. Things go back to the way they were during the clunkier, before times when everyone used Subversion, when there were more hoops to jump through to contribute code. Make it so you need an existing contributor to “mentor” first-time contributors (making sure they aren’t an AI, are writing competent code that follows project standards, etc.) before giving access to submit dozens of pull requests.

I mean, his support of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq was pretty controversial towards the end of his life. I think many gave him a “pass” on that due to his illness at the time. But I do recall some starting to question even then, his inconsistency of “religious wars bad, unless it’s against religions I don’t like” (at least that’s how it came across).

As someone who lives in South Carolina, there is one small benefit to this guy being such a nutcase, He’s distracting Lindsey and his PACs, we’ve gotten a couple fliers in the mail from Lindsey Graham affiliates calling out Mark Lynch’s crazy antics (most specifically his calls to legalize cocaine). Haven’t seen one ad attacking the leading Democrat, Annie Andrews. And sure, that will probably pick up after the primaries are over, but I do love watching Republicans waste money fighting each other.

Out of the loop, why is this an Emma Vigeland W? (She’s awesome, just unaware of how this connects to her)

With as much as I’m ready for the AI bubble to burst, Sabine Hossenfelder isn’t a very reliable source on much of anything - especially her newer videos from within the past year after she got called out for some unscientific takes on transgender care. Since then, she has kinda doubled down on her anti-science-establishment takes acting like she knows more than actual experts.

I’m not really criticizing any of her takes in this particular video (I’ll be honest I’m at work and haven’t had a chance to watch it yet), but just want to caution anyone who may watch this and start getting her videos recommended a bunch by their YouTube algorithm that she’s not considered a reliable science communicator by anyone who is.

I bought a silicone soldering mat on ebay a few months ago, deliberately bought it on ebay to avoid Amazon. It was delievered by Amazon, in an Amazon envelope, the ebay seller had just used their Prime to have it delivered to my address, and charged an extra couple dollars over the Amazon price. Wasn’t very happy about it, but what a hustle that person is running.

I’m sure you’ll do a great job as mod. Thanks for starting this community.
