I’m not sure it’s possible to convey how absolutely deadlocked any legal changes have become in the US. Jon Stewart fought for years to get September 11th first-responders the healthcare they were promised, it was a single page of extremely popular bi-partisan legislation.

The system is as it is because that’s the way it was in the 90s or so, and since there’s no pressing need and no one has a reason to fight for years to change this particular aspect it will continue this way. Possibly for the next millennia or so.

His crimes/actions are alleged. That he’s “involved in the Epstein Files” is not.

Which is why it’s important to transition to more of a focus making those things with it instead of just burning it as fuel.

All of those are basically front-ends for the National Weather Service and other mostly(?) public institutions that have actual weather satellites and generate the actual data.

I’m a fan of Windy because it lets you choose and compare/contrast forecast models. You can even compare which model has been more accurate for your location in particular.

The site seems to autoredirect to idlewatt.foundagent.net? Which is something to do with HIPAA vendors.

Fair enough. Really appreciate the work ya’ll have put into this, definitely going to have to mess around with it. Just brought it up because of the community this is in.

Are only VPS relay’s supported at the moment? Presumably so the feed is accessible over the web?

I get that the project seems to be going for replicating a ring/wyze/etc style experience but being able to self-host a relay somehow seems like a logical addition. Would probably have to disavow connecting outside of the home network and leave that the responsibility of the user.

It’s a perennial thing with Jellyfin that it doesn’t have the app / remote access support Plex provides. By itself it’s a fully functional network media server, but by design it doesn’t have the ability to reverse tunnel and it doesn’t have the corporate infrastructure that gets it’s app onto devices.

Yes you can set up wireguard / VPN access. Yes there are workarounds that can get Jellyfin streaming to most devices.

None of that matters when trying to talk someone on the phone through connecting to your server through the internet.

Plex is an account, it looks like a streaming service, it requires zero knowledge. I’m fairly certain some of my relatives have no idea it’s streaming from a server in my basement. Jellyfin they have to trust you enough to setup separate other apps / configuration and have the patience / attention span / ability to follow directions to do so.

While you’re at it, don’t worry about Grandma Coco’s grandparents.

Renewable works, people are just weird about it because of propaganda.

I have two 500W solar panels that I mostly bought for camping but are hooked up to my house because why not. They average ~5kWh a day over the year which is about a gallon of gas a week (~34kWh). Every gallon of gas I’ve ever bought I’ve set on fire using it and have to buy another one.

The panels will be good for a few decades, though eventually it will take them 8 or more days to generate “a gallon of gas worth of electricity”, and at that point they’re mostly aluminum, glass, and silicon, which are all extremely recyclable. The degradation of solar panels is because that the shapes they need to be in to harvest sunlight get bent out of shape over time. They don’t become worthless afterward.

Hey it’s my desktop! Love that case. Horizontal motherboards make more sense with how big graphics cards have gotten.

I bought a 16U rack this year to organize stuff a bit. Zigbee dongle is still installed exactly like this. I’m not convinced there’s a better solution.

Because the Department of Homeland Security has broad powers and very little checks and balances to it’s discretionary use by the Executive branch. It’s the thing people have been warning against since it’s creation after 9/11.

With a zero specifically I think you’d need extra bits to get it on a network, but Traccar itself is pretty lightweight.

Former healthcare IT, holy crap do all digital health records systems seem to suck. Some of them suck in different ways, but none of the big ones anyway are great.

I get that there’s a lot of semi-special use cases and regulatory requirements and so on, but at the end of the day it’s text and images and a record of the changes to them. And it’s not like this is a surprise problem. People have been trying to digitize stuff since at least the 90s. And yet every single system seems like it’s only been in development for a few months and usually has trouble working with itself, much less any other record system.

For now anyway, it used to be $20+/gb. I’ll settle for flooding the market with refurbished 16+tb drives.

Auto-translate is saying ‘snap knife’, but I’d imagine it’s to do with it being deployable / spring loaded in some way.

You’re talking about State laws being different.

They’re asking about the Federal government applying federal laws differently to select States.

Which is very not normal.

At least in my state, it explicitly means proof of citizenship. Permanent residents have a slightly different ID. The documents required to get one are what you would use to prove citizenship. Passport, birth certificate, etc. and it’s all verified by relevant agencies. That’s kind of the whole point.

Frankly even if they’re “just” lawfully present and that’s not differentiated on the ID, that should be enough reason for DHS to not detain them if any remotely reasonable policy were being followed instead of rounding up people based on skin color.

* proof of citizenship or lawful presence. Which is supposed to be indicated on the card. Which is supposed to be validated by DHS.

One of the ways REAL ID doesn’t matter for voting is that putting a ballot in a box is only the very first step in counting a vote, and there are multiple checks whether it’s valid and from person that is allowed to vote afterwards. After several centuries of practice paper voting is pretty thoroughly stress tested. Even if most people have no idea how.
