He’s turning the USA into a penny stock.

CDC should just ignore him. These people only have the power you give them. Every individual can just be simply disobedient. Keep doing your job and ignore what the Republican clowns in charge direct you to do.

Oh I’m not stopping. Just pointing out how this is hurting people’s retirement.

My 401k today is $520 less than what it was Jan 21st. I put in almost $600 every 2 weeks.

That’s a good chunk of change that just disappeared. I can only imagine how much someone with a bigger retirement account than I have is hurting.

May 30th is 130 days from Jan 20th.

Don’t waymos have remote drivers that take control in unexpected situationsml?

I run an older half depth supermicro server with a sfp+ PCI card for my router. At this point, it feels like dedicated boxes just aren’t worth it for routers except for enterprise where I need a support contract.

That’s not entirely true. Having a router with multiple interfaces is useful for multiple physical networks like VoIP, OOB, dmz, etc. We use vlans a lot for that now, but it’s not fair to say only two ports is the only choice.

That was such a disingenuous comment. Literally relying on the peoples lack of history knowledge to distort the truth. It’s fucking doublespeak.

Don’t lie to my face and tell me I like it.

The kind that thinks all those edge cases don’t matter and if they don’t get payments it’s just another example of “waste, fraud, and abuse.”

The supply chain comment makes me wonder if they might need new pagers soon.

It is the obligation of every university to refuse to cooperate beyond the minimum amount required by law. No one in the administration is working in good faith. Make them require the judicial branch.

I really, really don’t want this to pop off. I want there to be some other means.

I’m just having a real hard time seeing what other choice people with their backs against the wall will have.

It’s premise is that the courts can never be 100% correct. There is no level of burden of proof which is infallible.

No amount of modern technology guarantees that an innocent man won’t inadvertently be convicted and sentenced to death.

If every case were so cut and dry, it would work.

But invariably there will come a case where it seems so certain but not be true. To accept the death penalty in any case, we must be okay with it being applied at least once to kill an innocent person.

Ughhhhhhh

Since fucking high school, and that’s 15 years ago. I have held firm that I do not support the military, but I do support the soldiers.

The men and women who actually serve have my respect. The institution and its leadership do not.

DRM. They don’t like how open Linux can be so to combat people using it for pirating their content the companies restrict it.

For instance, Netflix is capped at 720p on Linux unless you are on Opera, apparently.

I have a 200+TB library for my Plex and jellyfin instances. The Roku was just a family friendly launcher and remote. I bought them when you could still disable ads in the secret menus and most of the Roku BS is blocked by a pair of piholes, but I’ve gotten annoyed chasing new urls to blacklist.

It’s DRM for the other app bullshit that becomes a hindrance for going the Kodi route. There really isn’t a good alternative that I’ve found. Linux boxes will limit some services to 720p and jt’s mostly baseball and local news programs that I’ll lose.

For the news, I need to look at something like hdhomerun or something else I can pair with an OTA antenna.

For baseball, not much other than the absolute mess that live streaming sports is. Doable, sure. But a pita and sketchy last I looked into it. My season ticket comes with MLB.tv, but the irony is that I’m “in network” so all my teams games are blacked out for me. I had previously created a VPN tunnel and routed one of my Rokus to a different state to watch it. But it’s not a user friendly experience.

For games, I already have a batocera box running on an old dell thin client with way more power than a pi, and it has Kodi on it. But the UI/UX still sucks.

I have a Roku ultra in my kid’s room.

I do not want her subjected to ads when she turns on the TV.

This is unacceptable to me and I will be replacing all my Rokus immediately.
