Regardless of what people do, either vote or not vote, a Democrat or Republican will be President next term. The only choice people have is if they want to affect which one it will be.

Is the argument that both parties will be the same? Is US support of Israel the only issue to consider?

Awesome!

Hopefully Firefox won’t follow.

I thought I read there was an agreement with accessory manufacturers about keeping the same port for 10 years. Because they didn’t want to run into previous issue of the iPod pin port being discontinued quickly.

Surely all those do have FOSS alternatives?

Sync is by far my favorite app, it was “reddit” for me. Now that it points at Beehaw it’s even better. It has very good customization and fits right into Android’s themeing and standards very well. It’s basically the quality of Apollo, but for Android.

It does keep Russia from invading NATO countries.

I honestly thought it was already over $1T annually.

However, I still remained pretty worried about shipbuilding capacity, at least until the situation over Taiwan can be resolved. If there ever is a large conflict that causes loss in any significant amount in ships it will be very, very difficult to replace. The current shipyards have orders beyond what they can produce, but even more significantly there is a severe shortage in labor that can even build ships.

Also the comparisons he makes I strongly feel are quite poor. There is a large difference in the budgets of various countries in defense spending. Its really hard to argue that the US and France should spend in similar amounts due to size, population, and commitments. And the cost for manufacturing and paying salaries in the US is quite different than what China can do. So the US will always have to spend the more, though we do still in other measures such as a per capita basis its not as extreme as its made out to be.

System76 makes their own distro called PopOS. Their laptops right now are rebadged, but I’m sure they support them well. They are in the process of designing their own and I’m waiting to see how it compares to something like Framework.

Doesn’t Amazon just use RHEL as base for their image already?

I have been using Vikunja instead of Google Keep. I like the mix of todo list and kanban board. I also use audiobookshelf for podcasts and audiobooks, then calibre for regular books. And a very lightweight rss app.

I’m a little more advanced with selfhosting at this point though. I use a combination of intel NUCs (RIP) locally and Digital Ocean to run Kubernetes clusters. I have a whole setup with argocd, gitea, authentik, tekton, prometheus, loki, grafana, etc, etc. But its a been a learning process that started with a rpi too.

I highly recommend mini pcs for selfhosting. Especially the intel ones since they have quick sync which is a pretty good hardware transcoder. Not sure about AMD ones, they might have something similar.

Oh, I use homepage as a homepage, but there as so many and I sometimes switch around a lot. Its good to have variety there.

I think this page here will help you out with all that kind of information:

It looks like the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs handle approvals in the State Department.

If I recall the law itself allows the President to waive the restriction. So in effect exporting cluster munitions requires Presidential approval. Whereas the approval for export of weapons is generally delegated to others in the State Department.

Apparently the source of that wasn’t an official statement by Microsoft. It was some offhand comment in a dev conference that kind of got out of control.

2 years ago? That’s seems like a normal cadence for OS releases.

I’m getting this error?

ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH

Do any of these frontends have a “watch later” function? What I really need is the “remove watched” button, since its just a playlist.

Wasn’t it Yishan that was calling reddit an “internet city”. I’m sure a lot of people bought into the idea that reddit was different. Maybe back then it was, or at least pretending it was.

If you use Let’s Encrypt, or any public CA, all of your domains and certificates will be public. You can use a wildcard to avoid revealing subdomains. There is a website that you can use to search what is available, but I don’t remember what it is.

I suspect there aren’t any serious risks to having that information revealed. The only real reason would be privacy against which services you are using on that domain.
