Patchyrogan vs. Patchyjones, tonight at 8. PPV Prime Time. Cage Match!!
  • Carving my awesome skater helmet to look like a Pachycephalosaurus so that I can intimidate my enemies.

  • They get each other.
  • Captains have all the fun

  • Good job pedestrianing
  • I threaten the driver with a revolver so they know their place next time

  • Amazon Building its Own Linux-Based OS to Replace Android
  • Surely this other monopoly will save us

  • Internet providers say the FCC should not investigate broadband prices
  • Observe: the alliance between monopoly capital and the state

  • Xiaomi won't give Android updates if you unlock your bootloader
  • The only spyware you should be concerned about is that from your own country. That's the country that can actually do things against you with the information. What are you worried about "China" doing with your chats or metadata on which apps are open?

  • DARPA Seeks Revolutionary Ideas from Early Career Researchers at US Academic Institutions
  • Never work with DARPA. They're part of the same machine that's bombing kids in Gaza right now. That's blood money.

  • Jellyfin not reading mounted sshfs folders
  • One thing you can do to troubleshoot is to execute a shell in your docker container and try to list the files in the directory that Jellyfin is looking for. This can help you rule out typos or sshfs problems.

    This looks something like docker exec -it /bin/sh

  • 🍸 I like to mix my solutions. The more the merrier.
  • Alcohol refers to an alcoholic drink (like the martini held by this sophisticated cat). Water and ethanol (99% of these drinks) are miscible, so are always at least a solution with one another. The additional flavor compounds that make drinks different from one another tend to be in solution as well.

  • Inspired by reading everyday news
  • Keeping in mind that a single axis for progress is reductive: also, don't forget that there have been and will be backslides. For example, European colonialism set back a lot of progressive / alternative cultures, genociding them or converting them to something that better-served the interests of empire (e.g., race rules).

  • Birds in North America will be renamed to avoid any 'harmful' historical associations with people
  • The yellow-bellied sapsucker, however, will not be renamed, as white people are not an oppressed group.

  • graphene VS calyx
  • If you have a pixel I recommend graphene and if not I recommend calyx. Graphene has some lower-level security primitives and their sandboxing between profiles is very good. I recommend not installing Google Play Services on your main profile (ideally in none but you might not have that luxury).

    Security and privacy require diving into the topic, though. You can still easily do non-secure, non-anonymous things in either case. Sometimes people even seem to do riskier things when they think their privacy tools are there, and end up being less private and secure as a result of not knowing how the threats work.

  • Biden administration unveils new actions to combat antisemitism on college campuses
  • Even liberals can understand how these terms apply - if they decide to honestly interrogate the subject.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • Bespoke: not sharing your source code because you don't want to provide free labor to megacorps.

  • Biden administration unveils new actions to combat antisemitism on college campuses
  • Looks to me like they used Zionist correctly.

    They're settler colonists supporting a genocidal apartheid ethnostate.

  • New dating strategy
  • You're not supposed to go up to penguins in the antarctic. It's prohibited.

    But you can do something goofy until they get curious and come over to see what's up.

    This is the dating version of that.

  • What's the easiest/best way to make my own blurays?
  • You can burn em with your burner of course. I haven't burned discs in so long that I can't remember what software I used to use, but there should still be open source, free software that can do exactly that.

    If long-term, secure storage is your goal I'd go with redundant, error-correcting digital storage with off-site encrypted backups (don't forget the password!). A proper system like that will survive a tornado (because it's backed up off-site). A home-built RAIDZ2 NAS with one of many off-site backups will work very well. If you don't want to figure out how to build that system, you can also just buy a NAS with a similar level of functionality (I do still recommend RAIDZ2 with at least 6 disks, though).

    Blu-rays will eventually degrade, either from scratches or a slow phenomenon where they get little holes in the foil. Even if you keep making copies, you'll run into this problem. Of course, data corruption can also occur for files on a computer, but that's why you use a strategy that keeps ~3 copies of each file around (basically what RAIDZ2 accomplishes) so that errors can be auto-corrected.

    There are other benefits to a NAS as well. You can store your own backups of your other devices there as well and have them backed up off-site. You also have the option to share your blu-ray rips over your home network, basically running your own local streaming service.

    If you want to share the love, so to speak, the bandwidth of a USB hard drive is actually pretty great.

  • Apple announces new 24-inch iMac with M3 chip
  • Older people that only understand a computer as a box on the desk and their rich children that have to deal with it.

  • Get gud
  • Evo Psych is a garbage field for frauds but I would buy insecure dudes expressing more misogyny.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • Yep! Borgmatic is the most useful cli option in my opinion. You can create a single yaml config and call borgmatic from a cron job.
