I appreciate a simple piece of software that does exactly what it’s supposed to do.

Ya did crop the meme to the size you needed. Still funny though.

I have a simple pile of Markdown files that I edit with Obsidian. I like the simple text file format because it keeps my documentation forwards-compatible. I use OpenWRT at the heart of my network, so I keep I right there in root’s home. Every long while I back it up to my general Documents which is then synced between my high-storage devices with SyncThing.

This person doesn’t deserve to be called Doctor. He failed the profession entirely and up to the CDC.

Nope, it’s screaming metal deathtrap or the feature that beeps if someone is detected picking their nose and can only be reset by the vendor.

We need ranked choice voting so badly.

Here you go.

No, it is the Democrats fault for the shutdown in a way (hear me out). Those messages are illegal but they are kinda right. By choosing to cave and getting virtually nothing in exchange, the DNC cemented the complete uselessness of the grandstanding act. Together with the Republicans they are responsible for unnecessary suffering because they folded like a cheap suit. What was even the point? Why not just give Republicans whatever they want from the beginning if you’re going to bend over and gleefully call them daddy?

It was a daring strategy, but now I wish you had never even tried. Now you think you’re going to fight them in court? These people don’t give a shit about the law. You’re just going to keep getting fucked harder. Nicely done. I guess the party is getting exactly what they want.

I apologize dear reader but I am angry.

Like a cheap suit. Stay classy.

“If Mamdani lied on his naturalisation documents, he doesn’t get to be a citizen, and he certainly doesn’t get to run for mayor of New York City. A great American city is on the precipice of being run by a communist who has publicly embraced a terroristic ideology,” Representative Andy Ogles from the Republican party said in an October 29 news release, after asking US Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate Mamdani.

Andy Ogles you are pathetic. Have you considered calling him a poopoo head?

Republican.

Ah!

The DNC loves to shoot itself in both feet and also its face, preferring to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory whenever possible.

In short, they seem to love losing. I hope they hold fast and do some actual fighting with what positions they have.

Gullible appears to be anything but.

Perhaps not. They might have to swear in the new Democrat they’re currently blocking for a month now, which could possibly lead to the release of some iteration of the Epstein files.

We know. Problem is, a third of us thinks the solution is killing the other third and the rest can’t be bothered. As the famous saying goes.

And so we have learned; he is indeed incompetent and unfit, and America has decided that fealty to the bitter end is most important value.

I think the obvious and blatant dementia is a dead giveaway. It’s incredibly sad that we’d even consider having such a person well into decline in a position of leadership. He should be in a home receiving compassionate end-of-life care.

He better act quickly. The legal system is just about completely collapsed at this point. He may not get the opportunity at all later.

The h265 hardware support is a lot less exciting than you might think. Most hardware that has support to encode it doesn’t even use the hardware encoders anyway because a software encoder produces a significantly better result. I would make sure you have CPU power to handle your transcoding, and I haven’t has any issues transcoding that resolution on my quite old Intel® Core™ i5-4590T CPU @ 2.00GHz.

A Raspi is probably not going to be enough for reliable video transcoding at high resolutions, but I haven’t tried it myself. You certainly have more upgrade path options with a mini-PC while still keeping a low power target.

I agree that distro is not very important if you’re running your services in Docker containers anyway. It’s mostly whatever you find comfortable. My personal recommendation is don’t get too creative unless you enjoy setting up servers. I tend to be conservative in my server OSs.

No sympathy for billionaires. Let him buy his own.

Release the -philes you say?

Sadly, yes this is true. It’s official feces content from the POTUS.
