  • Better in what way? This is why people are asking. How are we supposed to provide "better" alternatives when you won't explain what would make it better?

  • Get the frozen pre-made meal or just make it yourself?

  • I would like to cook more as it just tastes way better (and is much more healthy), but I'm always exhausted especially after work. I suppose my answer is that right now I'm eating a lot of prepared (refrigerated or frozen) food, but would prefer home-cooked meals.

  • I'm now using Fedora CoreOS which can be deployed from config files. It's really neat to be able to define everything the way you need it and just start up the VM with no further config necessary. I'm using podman to manage my services.

  • Trump rides garbage truck to hammer Biden as Harris scrambles to clean up

  • Just a garbage truck doing what it was designed to do: haul trash to the dump.

  • Just took a glance at the settings in Read You, it seems like you might be able to use it locally. Might be worth a try.

  • We may not know the next president on Election Day. This Arizona swing county could be why

  • Eh, there's several ways to secure electronic tabulation - in fact, most states do use electronic tabulation with checksums and tons of layered security (including airgaps). The paper ballots are kept as a backup in these cases of course. If the checksum doesn't match or some other metric is off, you can recount the votes using the paper ballots.

    For example, Washington state's process of tabulation:

    The votes are tabulated by certified individuals using machines that are not connected to the internet at 8 pm on election day. The machines are individually certified by federal and state authorities and independently tested in NIST laboratories. As votes are tabulated, voters can track their ballot’s progress through the VoteWA system.

    An independent study by The Heritage Foundation reviewed 10.6 million ballots cast in the state of Washington between 2004 and 2010 and only found seven fraudulent votes attempted by mail. “I have not seen any new fraud since moving to the system… in my 14 years, we have only had two fraud cases, and one called to inform and apologize,” said Marianne Nichols, Pend Oreille Auditor. “We rarely come across cases of double-voters or attempts to vote another person’s ballot,” added Julie Anderson. “Most cases are voter mistakes, not an attempt to commit fraud or undermine an election.”

  • I use FreshRSS (a self-hosted RSS aggregator) with Read You (for Android) and have Techdirt and Cascade PBS working, I actually just added Cascade PBS today. Of course this might require you to self host FreshRSS, but FreshRSS is well worth it.

    Looking at the feeds, they seem pretty standard. I'm surprised your app isn't accepting them.

    Jill Stein ally says the Greens' strategy is about making Harris lose the presidency

    Jump

  • So, their goal is Kamala loses and Trump wins, then what? It's almost like she never actually cared about the environment or workers and only ever wanted to be a spoiler for Kamala. Trump will get rid of the EPA and appoint oil execs in their spot.

  • What a painful way to tabulate, seems like an artifact from before we had connected, electronic tabulation?

  • Hell yes! The Seattle Times edit board endorses Harris for president

    Jump

  • Yeah, kinda late. But WA's turnout so far is at 40%, so maybe there's still a little time? To compare to 2020, turnout was 80%, and 2016 was 78%.

    Nonetheless, I don't think it will sway many in the first place.

  • Oh, absolutely. I'm calling this "strategy" stupid.

  • Puerto Ricans (in Puerto Rico) can't vote for president, so maybe their hope was that it wouldn't matter what they said about them? Hopefully people in swing states prove them wrong at the ballot box.

  • If you're in the US, how are you preparing for the election and dealing with the stress?

    Jump

  • Honestly, other than voting and trying to get those around me to actually give a shit, I'm not. Like in the past two elections, I'm having trouble grasping the fact that half of the (voting) country wants to elect a fascist. My mother told me over the phone that one of her neighbors is voting for Trump because "his wife is absolutely gorgeous". Like, how do you even respond to that, especially in any calm way?

    Oh, and someone here reminded me: cannabis. Lots and lots of it.

  • North Dakota voters may end most property taxes. Government programs could face huge cuts

  • Washington state has property tax. We do not, however, have income tax.

  • how can i self host my music?

    Jump

  • There are many different ways, but personally (and hopefully I don't get crucified for saying this) I use Plex and Plexamp. Plexamp has got to be the best music app I've ever used. I even tied it into Last.fm to get recommendations for new music based on my listening.

    You'd need to set up Plex media server to go this route: https://support.plex.tv/articles/200264746-quick-start-step-by-step-guides/

    Personally I host via Docker.

    It might be a little overkill if you don't have other media, though, and it's not fully open source.
