I had no interest in this movie before. Now I do. Thanks officers!

That link is broken for me.

You mean they lied about it happing because it didn’t actually happen? Because this tweet by their official account looks to me like them disclosing a server seizure.

"THIS IS NOT A DRILL: The Dutch authorities, without a warrant, just seized one of our VPN servers saying they’ll give it back after they “fully analyze it”.

Windscribe uses RAM disk servers so the only thing the authorities will find is a stock Ubuntu install. The bigger worry is the unredacted Epstein files we had on there…"

This is the answer.

Additional ideas: I happened to be on Synology and wanted to download google takeout files directly from Google to the nas. So I ran an instance of chromium in docker and used that browser to download the 50gb takeout files directly to the nas.

Take note of the size of your immich library before and after you import with immich go, and how big the takeout files are before using immich go. If you miss a few files you’ll know because of the size discrepancy.

One thing about monitors lasting so long is that it feels good that I’m not making e-waste from monitors every time I upgrade my computer. For the 25 years I’ve been using desktops I’ve only bought 3 monitors, I can’t say that about the rest of my computer hardware.

I hear you there. Almost every meeting presentation room I use still requires my usb-c to vga adapter and I just have to live with it. It’s the natural state of such places I think. It feels so amazing when I can plug directly into my laptop without an adapter. And yea I agree, they are a headache.

This seems like a non issue dramatised for headlines, they are phasing out outdated sata connection to only favour current m.2.

It’s like gpu and motherboard manufacturers announcing they are no longer including VGA ports in favour of DVI display port and HDMI. I don’t think that was a bad thing.

I’m sure some people who are lucky enough to have hardware that still requires SATA want to keep upgrading to new SATA devices but it’s been enough time. I’m ok with just m.2 now.

I’d get one if there was a good open source os I could easily flash on one of these that made these actually useful and ad free.

Wow thank you for this. This looks so much nicer than portainer.

Subscribing to these communities is so helpful because of discovery like this.

Only the opposite has ever happened for me.

If anyone has the GPUs to self-host LLMs to spam the shit out of them, it’s gamers. Gotta get on an easy-to-self-host project to distribute to the community 😄

I love it when people can reason like this. Thanks for the constructive post.

Welp, I’m having oats for breakfast tomorrow 😄

I wonder if there are other ways pfas might be circulated out of the bloodstream and back into the digestive system to be collected by this microfauna.

One of the ways oats and oatmeal reduce the amount of cholesterol in your body is by binding to the cholesterol in bile so it’s excreted instead of being re-absorbed. So the cholesterol could already be in the bloodstream, converted into bile, then excretes with the oats once it’s combined. This clearly has multiple essential organs helping the process, but still, a mechanism like this could still make a difference over time.

Thanks for that, almost pulled the trigger so I can have an all in one solution for running immich with AI, perplexica and other self hosted AI things. Currently I just serve the processing power from my MacBook and desktop PC.

I appreciate that people have found solutions for avoiding materials that can become dangerous when overheated. I, too, have gone on PFOA-free journeys.

But oh my god, that egg is swimming in oil! I don’t want that many calories, and I don’t want to feel a greasy egg in my mouth.

I understand this solution is great for many people, and they should be proud and happy that they have reached their Teflon-free goals.

But as a person who can’t digest high amounts of fats without consequences and watches their calories, this is only a solution for people who love bathing their food in oil. I also avoid saturated fats, which are superior for their non-stick properties. I want to use olive oil, nothing else.

But fine, I will try it on my stainless pan and see what happens. Olive oil, heat to smoke, wipe, then a small amount of olive oil again for normal cooking.

If it works I’ll be thrilled. If not, back to my trusty teflons that never fail me. Wish me luck! Got any more tips?

Exactly.

A lot of armchair dog behaviourists will never get the chance to meet the dog they are talking about. And when teaching dog training, you have to tell owners to actually get to know their dog because they have their own individual expressions that are unique to them, or uniquely learned behaviours that you’ve accidentally reinforced

I think many dogs display whale or moon eyes, which in exactly the situation you described. Dogs like to check things out without moving their heads. Additionally, if we find that cute, the dog will likely develop a superstition to do that more because it’s rewarding to get your attention.

This is really obvious in puppies, who mostly display innate behaviours compared to the same dog as an adult who has learned many expressions that get them what they want.

I think the biggest behaviour people misconstrue is licking. They do not notice the difference between hard licks and soft licks. Soft licks are friendly, or they taste delicious on your skin.

A hard lick means, “Can you please stop what you are doing?” It’s a polite way of changing the subject. Many people misshandle their dogs and accidentally think the dog likes it because the dog licks them, so they do it more. It’s such a trap for human dog interactions because their way of saying stop is confused for asking for more.

Many people say this is a half-moon eye or whale eye, and it is, yet there is probably not enough context to prove what it means in this photo.

Like all dog body language, one signal is not always enough to determine a dog’s real emotions. This is why many dog body language signals are called meta-signals, which you can guess by their name: signals about signals. Multiple signals create a total that might be different from some of the individual signals being made.

Imagine playing with a dog, tugging on a toy, and having them growl and show whale eye. Someone might say, “That dog has half a moon or a whale eye! They are upset!” Meanwhile, the dog’s body is loose, sneezing, its elbows are bent, and its tail lazily wags. When you stop tugging, they take your cue and stop tugging as well.

Assign a value to their mood, where 0 is neutral, a negative number is a negative emotional expression like growling, whale eye or lip licking and a positive number is associated with positive body language. Let’s add that up: whale eye -1, growl -1, loose body +1, sneezing +1, elbows bent +1, tail wags +1, following along +1, tugging +1. That’s -2+6=4. The dog is very happily playing. Soon, you will learn that your dog’s growling in those situations is a play growl; it’s a very good thing to hear (never discourage any growl). You will also know that sequences of behaviours take into account this equation. For example, the dogs reversing roles after a minute is like a +5 in friendly interaction.

Nobody does body language math exactly like that in their head, but it’s a good example of the multifaceted thinking that goes into interpreting how your dog feels. But people pretending they know everything about what a dog is doing in a static photo vs. a video showing the entire interaction over time just don’t have enough information. It’s great that people’s hearts bleed for these animals, but it’s a commentary on incomplete information.

My dog makes whale eye before I throw the ball, jumps onto his bed, and makes the same expression before blasting off the bed in glee. I have no doubt the dog is voluntarily playing fetch and having a great time.

In case people aren’t clear on what’s happening, here is a graphic that illustrates what’s happening.

I can agree with you that I love free software. But I’ve always been aware that it’s not. I’ll be pissed if they paywall new things behind a new subscription even for lifetime members though.

I was really close to setting aside time to mess with jellyfin but a lot of people on the fediverse have been raising alarms about security issues if you are sharing with others over the web. I can’t comprehend what they are but it’s put that project on pause since everyone is happy with the Plex server right now.
