  • Trump says he’ll withhold money from New York if Mamdani becomes mayor

  • Hopefully he also makes more friends and helps gain momentum to get the rest of the goons out in other jurisdictions

  • They said much the same about Putin and - regardless him being in better initial shape than Trump - he's still around.

    Being old and unfit means less event you've got money for top-notch healthcare and people willing to ignore (or take advantage of) your physical and mental decline

  • Republicans ask Donald Trump to revoke Zohran Mamdani's citizenship

  • If you're not sarcastic then I'm generally sorry to hear you're stuck in that shitty situation.

    You're also welcome at my BBQ if you're ever up here in Canada

  • I realize this is sarcasm but honestly: all of you/us are greater than all of them, if enough of us can actually unite on what we want and how to get it.

    Unfortunately it's also why there's been a huge effort on dividing people by race/gender/religion/etc that might otherwise have been united in socio-economic struggles.

    It also means that the people who need to give something to push for change are (deliberately) kept in situations where they have the least to do.

    • Less time to organise because of working multiple jobs with little to no free time.
    • Less money or resources to fight in courts.
    • Less knowledge due to underfunded education.
    • Less physical ability due to lack of healthcare or nutritional diet
    • Less access to childcare or ability to afford such
    • Etc

    Which is why supporting community/network is important.

    Having a politician that isn't an evil fuck is good, but that politician isn't going to watch your kids while you're at a protest or in the hospital. They're not going to help you get to work when your car breaks down, or help you fix it.

    They might stand beside you at a protest or union meeting, but one or a handful of politicians says less than community of hundreds or thousands.

    We need to rebuild communities and support networks. Yes we need the help of politicians - or at least less actively fighting against us - but we also need to rally with each other. The attacks on this guy reflect much of the same as those on our communities.

    If somebody is a "gay Muslim trans-woman Iranian refugee amputee" who is willing to stand by me in times of need, I'm willing to stand by them and they're welcome at my BBQ.

  • Plan for my first homeserver

    Jump

  • I run backups to a USB drive which is way to grab in the event of an emergency. Just make sure you test them every more and again, and possibly only connect it when needed if you're at all worried about malware (a cryptolocker will happily take out any attached storage if your machine is infected).

  • A lot of that stack looks similar to mine, though I'm running bigger hardware for various reasons. You might want to go with something with more cores than an i5 depending on how much you find yourself utilizing.

    Have you considered Nextcloud for documents and syncing functionality? I went through a few ways of running it before ended up with the Snap package which has been fairly solid for over a year now (Docker was good for setup, but upgrading was problematic if not kept up with religiously)

    Vaultwarden is Excellent.

    Calibre-Web is good, especially if paired with the application to "extract" books, and an app like Moon+ on mobiles

    Audiobookshelf is pretty solid. Pairs well with Libation.

    HASS I initially ran on my server in a container but moved to dedicated hardware so updating and reboots didn't break automatons. Got a HASS Yellow for the PoE and Zigbee.

    If you're looking for audio/video library management, JellyFin is pretty easy to get running and has apps for phones plus many TVs. Finamp is a good mobile app for the music part

  • Jellyfin over the internet

  • You can also use a router that can run wireguard/openvpn and have that run the tunnel back to home for you. I've got a portable GL-Inet router with OpenWRT that I use for this when I'm on the road

  • Matters little if that "very small group" has power and is getting away with it

  • But also using "Dutch angles" so we know he was banging the villain

  • Be funny to see a spoof of this where he messes up and tries to hook up with an alien who has Vagina Dentata or something.

  • First time maybe, second term there is absolutely no excuse

  • Salt Lake City, plans to implement AI-assisted 911 call triaging to handle ~30% of about 450K non-emergency calls per year

    Jump

  • A lot depends on the implementation rather than the idea itself. I've read plenty of stories of people stuck on hold with 9-1-1 - including deaths - as well as cases where they've been hung up on by shitty operators.

    An AI system might be able to do some basic triage to prioritize calls for the human operators and actually result in faster access/response and saved lives. It might also be able to do things like transcribing information such as addresses or location for responders. If the AI is planned to be a replacement for humans rather than an augmentation though, lives will likely be lost

  • Trump military parade met with empty seats amid nationwide protests

    Jump

  • How about we just tell him it's happened, hasten him to a bunker, and then let him take to some guy via radio that lets him think he's one of the few survivors.

    Hell, that'd be a good use for AI. Let it listen to his rambling and simulate a human response so nobody else needs to bother

  • Judge rules Trump illegally deployed the National Guard in California

    Jump

  • Yeah, everyone should remember that the Supreme Court fucked you all by paving the way for this, and the rest of the Legislative branch as well by either ignoring their duty or actively supporting a massive overreach in power and outright ignoring existing limits.

    Jump

  • Enterprise doesn't get a lot of love, but I really enjoyed it and was sad when it got cut short.

  • I'd watch it

  • Palantir may be engaging in a coordinated disinformation campaign by astroturfing these news-related subreddits: r/world, r/newsletter, r/investinq, and r/tech_news

    Jump

  • It'll be interesting too as federations are a bit of a wild-west right now with some domains dropping off or being federated, while others may still be created in the future

  • Friendly reminder that Tailscale is VC-funded and driving towards IPO

    Jump

  • That sounds kinda cool. I'll have to check it out. It's kinda hard sometimes to push FOSS stuff in a largercorporate environment but this looks like something I could recommend/build for small-mid private SOHO clients.

  • 'Arrest me': California's governor unfazed by threats of arrest from Trump administration official

    Jump

  • No, the "well they're both corrupt/bad so fuck it" without acknowledging that bad/corrupt is a scale not a binary is how we got here.

  • Used to run OpenVPN. Tried Wireguard and the performance was much better, although lacking some of the features some might need/want fit credential-based logins etc
