I dunno, depends on how long it’s been rotting…

I think even the most hardcore self hosting guys would probably caution most against setting up their own mail server too. One of the few things that has too many caveats to make self hosting make sense.

It’s fuckin weird to see a company make a decision based on the long term retention of their customers rather than short term profits… I like these guys.

I understand your issue with these cars - they’re dangerous, and could kill people with incomplete or buggy software. I believe the person you are responding to was pointing out that even with the bugs, these are already safer than human drivers. This is already better when looking at data rather than headlines and going off of how things seem.

Personally, I would prefer to be in control of the vehicle at all times. I don’t like the idea of driverless tech either.

Dude, I was trying to deal with the fucking Fullscreen cookie popup when the subscribe to unlock bullshit popped up and I just closed it immediately

Couldn’t send that point home any harder

I’m sorry friend, this is where I get off. You are assuming the police officer will always be faster than the attacker… I don’t know where we go from here. Thank you for the conversation.

It is one thing to be wary of something because you experience it often.

It is another to spew masturbatory hate at each mention of police.

It is his job and duty not to. If he arrived to the welfare check and immediately turned around and left…?

Even though this is a cherry picked argument - a melee weapon - I’m not sure it will help your point. Cops get stabbed, man. It happens even with their shoot first training.

Or - we could stop passing the blame and take accountability for making assumptions about our fellow man we should not make.

Wow. There are literally zero details in this article and everyone has labeled the cop a murderer. What a thankless, shit job, police. Could it not have been that the officer arrived on scene to an armed individual who then attempted to murder him? He’s conducting a welfare check, the person he’s checking on may not be all there… Both the checker and the checkee are humans and matter here!

Which is where I and the rest of the ACAB folks will probably start to agree - cops shouldn’t be the ones responding to these calls. The hard part is that sending unarmed social workers into dangerous scenarios is not the answer either. Tough problem to solve. World’s not perfect. Give your fellow human the benefit of the doubt, though. Not every cop is a murderous bastard, and thinking that way isn’t helping anyone except tickling your own smug feelings. It’s also a sweeping generalization, something that’s both foolish and frowned upon these days. This an appeal to the humanity in all of you - quit writing off humans with a single acronym. You are removing their humanity and labelling them a monster. We can look to history to learn from the same mistake.

Someone get the whiteboard…

Whoosh

Thanks! If I can be candid, I almost asked for your best piece of advice in my previous comment, so I appreciate it. I’ve heard great things about both - Synology especially people always seem to have good things to say. Still doing the research and deciding the best hardware path for the use case at the moment, so I’ll be sure to keep you in mind and pick your brain sometime!

Yep, looking at doing the exact same thing myself, albeit smaller scale to start with. I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying the ride despite the cost, because I know I’m headed down the same path, lol. Cheers.

I’m sure it’s cheaper to maintain overall too, not including the one-time costs of hardware. Plus as you said, control is very valuable - and you get privacy, too! Nobody selling your usage data.

People were complaining about cable costing that much - now a single streaming service does. We have gone from “hmm, maybe it’s easier to just pay Netflix 12 bucks a month” back to “this shit is too expensive, I’m gonna pirate my media”

Entertainment companies just can’t seem to figure out how to deliver content to us in a convenient and affordable way.

Do you realize how silly a thing that is to say? People existed before literally all technology. How you feel about the necessity of the invention is literally irrelevant to the conversation.

Can’t agree with this take at all… I’m single, I go on a date with a gal, I’m absolutely judging her character based on how she treats wait staff. They’re not beneath me. Kindness to servers is a great litmus test for humanity.

I was kind of a tool bag there. I’m sorry. Guess I’m just tired of of half the comments on Lemmy involving reddit somehow. It’ll die down eventually I’m sure.

Oh boy, that guy that’s real fun at parties. The hero we need…

It’s a rage reference man. If it was used on Reddit previously, okay, but you’re reaching to write your own narrative. Reddit sucks. Move on.
