Technically speaking, no. But more polite, I agree

yes, but now how you imagined it

They reason (and I want to stress that it’s their ideology, not mine) that men can keep doing crotchspawn when they are old. So the obvious solution is to force girls to marry and get breeded by men off all ages. /s but unfortunately not so much

Yeah they do KYC (know your customer). Pretty straightforward anyway.

you should really read “the laundry files” by Charles Stross. It’s a whole series of stories on this topic basically

And Amos was so great. Both the actor and the character. The books are possibly even better

Oh nice, I knew “when you assume you make an ass of u and me”

Oh right, I’ve read about that on coconut crabs I think. There you go, they are already half there.

Mhh, insects in general IIRC are also constrained by the fact they have exoskeletons: i.e. their internal organs are just in a bag. So they can’t grow too much or they just squish I think.

Imagine them being able to become vertebrates. You can have insects the size of cats I think before the osmosis breathing tubes they currently have are not a thing. Lungs would be the next thing I guess.

Disclaimer: I’m not a biologist and just make stuff up from what I remember from high school biology, and it was last millennium!

make a grocery shopping list (or any to-do list)

Stretch your legs by raising them straight (still sitting down) and rotate your feet

Stretch your arms up and move your neck, rotate your shoulders

Think what went well today

You run Linux in a brothel?

Hum, what’s the use case exactly? Two or more people controlling the same desktop at the same time seems really frustrating…

I don’t doubt that, I’m pretty sure you’re old enough that now not even your parents have to deal with you 😝 (Just kidding riding the joke of course, no offense meant)

If you don’t want to handle people at their worst don’t have kids!

ETA since apparently people have no sense of humor and/or no kids: when you have kids there are lots of times that they are at their worst. It’s part of being baby/toddler/children. When they are tired they can have absolute meltdowns. And you have to deal with them, because they are your children and you as a parent have to teach them how to deal with those emotions.

So yeah, kids are little sociopaths that are also absolutely lovely. Don’t want to deal with professional liars and manipulators with also zero remorse, don’t have kids.

Another gun?

First questio is: can you ask your home internet provider for ipv6?

Otherwise sign up to tailscale and connect your vps server (and your pc/devices) to it.

“Traditionally” in US

That depends, some people need to be offended and get a reality check. Otherwise just muttering imprecations jnder your breath against humanity at large will get you through the day.

Sometimes you have to do what you have to do to pay the bills!

the question is: why do you want to move on from the Rpi4? Also, how do you plan to handle video decoding 0f x265/av1 streams? Do those miniPCs have a video card with hardware transcoding capabilities? If you plan to do it on software (i.e. CPU transcoding) the CPUs will run hot most of the time.
