Just to add to this in the simplest way possible…

Hot things heat up cold things! This is not good for frozen food! Let it cool off, then freeze it.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

No, hard disagree.

I have many thousands of dollars worth of hardware. I have seen the results of a surge. I have seen a NAS reduced to a paper weight. You’re making incredibly silly assumptions here - this has nothing to do with uptime, and everything to do with protecting your equipment.

You will not ever convince me otherwise, because I’m not willing to dump thousands of dollars on replacements because someone on the internet thinks it has anything to do with uptime.

You are wrong.

Edit: anywhere that weather exists is an area with “unreliable electricity”. Full stop.

"It stood for ‘Put In Group’, sorry for your misunderstanding.

The nice thing about some battery backup is not keeping it running during an outage, but safely shutting it all down.

I agree on the laptop battery, I’m just disagreeing on battery backup. It serves a purpose, as does decent surge elimination.

They are set up by the state.

They cost money, they cost time (to go and get an ID), and they can have a wait to receive it.

Well yeah, that’s half the fun

Unfortunately, I am. Too much capsaicin messes with digestion (slows it down), and causes more stomach acid.

So with my gastrointestinal system’s hatred of my body (including food allergies which wreak havoc on me), I am at the top tier of too damn white to get to enjoy the heat anymore. So, I guess thanks for a new pepper I can check out!

Or a fully themed, punctuation inspire flick. Named “character” to let you fill in the blanks.

Char 1: Well what do you think Mark?

Char 2: our true power…

… OK it needs to be reworked, but you get the idea.

Because no one was idolizing him, it was worry about who would run instead so late in the process. That isn’t idolizing, that is practicality and concern.

I was one of the people very concerned. I am so very glad to be wrong.

Considering our use is not to the general public, we’d be better off with an entirely different strategy.

Yeah… I didn’t choose it, but some of the services from my employer run there. May be a good time to make some moves, we’ll see.

Not really going to be an issue I can fix obviously, but I’ll be making even more backups than normal…

I have a feeling the big impact is going to be in other services, namely AWS. Makes me wonder if some new global outages are coming, which are always fun to deal with.

I wish I had a solid answer for that, I actually made a post about this recently.

Deskflow (synergy upstream) seems to be working well at the moment. Bear in mind they just moved all the repos, but Synergy v2 had a bunch of issues, it was dropped for v3, which is just deskflow packaged up all pretty. Input leap is from the people who were maintaining barrier and forked it a few years ago. Lan-mouse is its own thing, and it works, though its a bit clunky to use.

Right now I’m doing some testing to figure out what I want to use, my concern around barrier is that no updates makes for a security risk, and (for me) it also won’t work with Wayland.

With Synergy going back to the open base, I don’t really mind throwing them some cash, but its not available yet with Wayland support as a packaged project, so I built it and will be testing more for all of them once I move some things around on my desk to restructure - the whole reason I was looking for something in the first place actually. That won’t happen until a free weekend though, so hopefully this weekend, but maybe the following.

I wouldn’t protest your use, and since that phrase is mine now I can say that!

Jokes aside, this is exactly it. One option, you can protest it. The other, and you’re getting “a very rough hour, real rough”.

So… Yeah. Not voting is supporting more murders by the state, and I hope so many people realize they are being duped with their “non-voting protest” and actually go to the polls. Especially because the presidential election is not the only election that matters.

Be aware, barrier is dead.

Input leap is the successor, though they still haven’t made a full release and recommend the last barrier version. Which is 3 years old.

Same here (in terms of general approach, though I can’t buy generic cereal anymore, need that gluten free logo).

There was a vast difference for me in generics of omeprazole, and the first few generics of dexlansoprazole. Not as critical as an epi-pen obviously, but the delivery mechanism for pills can be so different it absolutely makes a difference.

I did not expect to get Live stuck in my head tonight, but there you go

Edit: Not a complaint BTW, I’ve owned Throwing Copper since it came out in 94

Personally I’d go with 34", but I’m an ultrawide kind of person.

I’m even considering the ridiculously wide 49" lenovo, at 5120x1440 it certainly beats the 2560x1440 and companion 1080p display I use today.

That’s pretty regular Tracy stuff isn’t it? Like season 1 or 2 he went to the golf outing, and almost immediately asks why he’s the only black man there. And doesn’t let up the whole time golfing.

Prosecutors can amend charges, they are probably still collecting evidence to determine if they can prosecute a higher charge, which is when they’d bring in something like attempted murder.

I’m sure there is some legally restricting element like “a clear intent to kill” which would have to be demonstrated in court to have that charge stick.
