I’m glad to hear this, I keep looking at it. I’m a little worried about the hardware requirements for it though. I keep putting off getting hardware for a dedicated jellyfin server (it’s on my wife’s gaming PC right now and it bugs the heck out of her)

To expand on the 3-2-1 rule for the uninitiated:

3 total copies

2 onsite, using dissimilar media

1 offsite, for disaster recovery

“Nice try… FBI”

Don’t forget Louisiana… My wife’s favorite.

We’ve got a melange of ducks, khaki Campbell, blue runner, swedish blue, Cayuga, and Ancona. My favorite might be the Anconas. Although, our khakis used to be very skittish, our drake just lets me pick him up now though lol

We actually got our first egg this morning!

I’ve heard muscovies are great producers, great foragers, and great reproducers. Has that been your experience?

We put in a bunch of trees and bushes this spring on our new property, so we had zero expectation of actually harvesting anything at all this year.

One of our raspberries has surprised by cranking out a couple of canes this fall. I’m grabbing a handful every other day or so, just collecting them in the freezer until I have enough to do something interesting.

I’ve missed eating things I grew. Our ducks should start producing eggs soon, I’m very excited about that also.

We have both Aldi here but they’re differently named. One is just Aldi, the other is Trader Joe’s.

It’s our super low cost grocer, that has in recent years become more high quality. When I was a kid (80s-90s) it was like “never buy fresh anything there because it’s all crap” but these days it’s all pretty decent quality stuff. Not like farmstand good, but better than Walmart.

I could be wrong, but I did finish a degree in EE even if I just do software now. But here’s my quick take on it.

Probably because you’re driving voltage on STAT from REGN.

STAT should have a current limiting resistor on it, go through your led, then ground.

REGN should have a 2.2uf cap between the pin and ground according to the datasheet.

I used to call myself a “left libertarian” but to be frank, after learning more I’ve found that “anarchist” fits far better. And there’s a lot of interesting content out there that I enjoy. I’m not sure who all .world has defederated, but the solar punk instance is always great, our mods are great (Midwest social), some people may find them abrasive, but those are people who maybe don’t understand that when you play in someone else’s home, you play by their rules.

Also: blahaj, beehaw, and even hexbear is usually entertaining, even if I have some disagreements with them.

The point is, there’s a lot out there, depending on who you’re federating with.

Above everything, lack of curiosity. If someone is uncurious, it’s a big red flag to me.

“Pavement Princess”

It would be a crying shame if someone were to figure out a way to force those e ink displays to refresh fast enough that it kills the batteries on those things…

Generally speaking I do things myself because it’s cheaper, in that it lets me allocate cash in higher quality versions of things than I would otherwise be able to afford. I grew up pretty poor and that was how my family did things. Car breaks, that’s why you buy a Chilton’s. Appliance isn’t working? You can always order the part for a tenth of what it costs to have the appliance guy tell you what’s wrong. AC quit working? Those capacitors are super easy to replace and only cost $7.

Now I could pay people to do more things for me, but it’s only under certain circumstances.

Sometimes it just boils down to something my Dad told me underneath a car (or a house maybe) like 30 years ago: “Nobody is gonna care about your shit more than you do.”

Last week, used a package over a cake. Poke Cake.

If you ever find yourself reaching for the phrase “unwashed masses” unironically, you’re the baddy.

Alas, I cannot grow hair on the top of my head, so I must grow it on the bottom.

We no longer have humor, it’s been beaten out of us by code reviews and merge conflicts.

DATA ABORT

“John Brown Gun Club”

I caught a junior trying to reimplement an existing feature, poorly, in a way that would have affected every other consumer of the software I’m a code owner on a week or two ago. There’s good reason to keep them around.

PRs suck to do, but having a rotating team of owners helps, and linting + auto formatting helps with a lot of the ticky tacky stuff.

Honestly, the worst part is “newGuy has requested your review on a PR you requested changes on but he hasn’t addressed” that’ll get you in the ignored pile real quick.
