  • Where to make local friends?

    Jump

  • Got kids? School has millions of parent orginizations that need help. I just got back from the band boosters meeting... not to mention scouts. Great ways to meet people.

    parks and rec is always running events of some sort, find something. You can often attend events at any nearby city (suburb) too

    Why is bicycle riding so controversial in America?

    Jump

  • The laws are weird. I've often been called a jerk, but when I check the laws they are on my side - or so ambiguous that nobody really knows what is right even though everyone thinks they do (whatever helps them against everyone else)

  • Self hosting Sunday! What's up, selfhosters?

    Jump

  • Changed my family dashboard from magic mirror to a home assistant dashboard. I'm missing some cute things, but the major functions work better, and I get some options that I didn't before.

  • What is too high for a pending authorization charge for a gasoline purchase?

    Jump

  • Oh, so you don't have pay at the pump and so have to wait in line? I remember those days. The station takes more risk of someone driving off without paying but it mostly works for them. Not pleasant for the customer who is waiting in line behind someone who is trying to decide which lottery ticket to buy or whatever they are being slow on.

  • What is too high for a pending authorization charge for a gasoline purchase?

    Jump

  • I would guess that you have the same thing happen there - you just never noticed/looked at the right time to see those charges. Fuel stations don't want you to fill your tank and then discover you can't afford the fuel, so they have some sort of arrangement with the credit cards to verify that you can afford the fuel before you put it in.

  • Pilot is a big truck station. I expect it isn't unusual for customers to buy $900 worth of diesel in a single fillup.

  • Hardware raccomandation for new selfhoster

    Jump

  • RaidZ1 is not the same as a mirror. I'm not sure if you are allowed to have Z1 with only 2 disks, but if you are you still shouldn't because while it scales down that far it still does parity calculations and writes that to the second disk instead of just writing a copy of the data (the parity calculations probably result in the same data, but I doubt this is optimized)

  • ZFS snapshots are easy to settup. If you don't notice that you deleted all the snapshots for a month you never will.

    you still should have offsite backups for a fire, but the notion that raid isn't backup is not really correct since for most people the situations that raid with snapshots isn't enough protection will never occure and to the risk is acceptable. Plus raid is a lot easier to get right. For that matter if you have a backup but don't have the password after the fire you don't have a backup.

    though if you rely on raid alone I'd want 3 disk redundancy.

  • [Blog] If fiber infused material is abrasive to soft metals, it may be useful as a sanding medium

    Jump

  • You start with course sandpaper and move finer. So step one of this is you need sets abrasive filaments that get progressively finer grits.

  • xkcd #3167: Car Size

    Jump

  • True, but as a general rule until you get to the F350 class or higher states don't charge that extra tax.

  • xkcd #3167: Car Size

    Jump

  • The F350 is the smallest vehicle where they charge by weight. Unfortunately they don't check for how much you use it, so for the 6 times a year I use mine I'm paying $.10/mile - while someone else who uses it for hauling as a job is paying $.01/mile.

  • Everything starts with what my family needs/uses. Jellyfin for media. Grocy to track which kid has done their chores. Home assistant to make a nice dashboard in the kitchen to see the family calendar (still on google) and the chores. I've tried a few other things, but those are the ones important to me.

  • I only have leagally owned movies. I'm technically violating some law but since I can show the judge the originals and they are not available outside myhome they won't dare go after me - a jury won't convict and even if one would I'm a perfect 'normal man' who proved the law is unjust. I won't be as well known as Rosa Parks in history but I'd be a perfect story to rally around to get the las changed and they won't risk that

  • Again, I'm a clasical liberal. capitalism is a strawman so you can make arguements like the above. In some ways what I support looks like capitalism but only because and where it is a concequense of clasical liberalism.

    note that I need to specify clasical liberal above. Modern liberals are different form us in many complev ways

  • That is why I object to capitalism - it is defined to be whatever socialists want to demean without reguard if that is even what is happening, if it is acceptable because of other benefits. It assumes capitalists are fine with corruption.

    When in reality we are liberals who understand rule of law.

  • Communism did that when starting with fuedelism or other tyranical systems. when starting with clasical liberal societies it doesn't improve much. There has never been a capitalist society so who knows how that would fare.

  • You have it backwards. liberalism came first and underlies capitalism.

    the difierence is important because we e do capitalism because of liberalism - freedon - and not a devotion to capital.

  • The foundation of classical liberalism is "life liberty and property". The ability to own land is a large part of that.

    There is no capitalist society, but many of them are versions of classical liberal - while the two have much in common there is a major difference at the core.
