You must know my family!

Russia can’t supply its own market.

Is this another Belorussian Potash deal?

I’m just using Dropbox now and replicating my 1Password everywhere and for some reason it makes me nervous to self host.

I think I’m just going to back up everyone’s vault to a USB and bring it to a second location twice a year. If storage ever gets affordable, I’ll send replication snapshots instead.

How things change! Change is, oftentimes, a good thing.

Backups? In this economy?

But I need to get something working. I am about to move to VaultWarden and that makes me very nervous.

They’re not quite as addictive as crisps, but they pack a caloric punch

I notice something stopped working, or someone in the household notices.

Then I go fix it.

BMW, Audi, and Mercedes are struggling to differentiate themselves when the performance is all but equal and all the cars weigh 2 tonnes.

And that’s just the ICE cars. EVs are a bigger challenge. Delaying the inevitable is not going to help.

Well, it is what they would say.

We also know there’s a certain amount of psychosis present at the AI labs.

When can we expect the USA to invade the offices of Open**?

I wore out that key on my computer. Betweeen IRC and Java, it didn’t last long.

The most recent live televised execution that comes to mind was ISIS

This isn’t something civilized people do. It’s something dictators and extremists do.

Notoriously simple industry. Anyone can do it really.

I’ve given it some thought.

There isn’t enough empty land in temperate climates for someone to survive unmolested outside of civilization, and I don’t have the multitude of skills required to make it in less hospitable climates. If I could find a good source of food I might make it past the first couple weeks, but I’m not hopeful. I’ve never harvested an animal, so that’s a big barrier.

If I had a good solar system and a house on several hundred or thousand acres to get me started it might work out. Better yet if I have some seed and starter food.

What possible benefit is there to kowtowing to Trump?

It is important to understand what Vehicular Cycling is and how it has entrenched carbrained infrastructure. https://discuss.tchncs.de/comment/28614295

That’s also part of the Vehicular Cycling/Forester problem. Forester, distilled and paraphrased, was a proponent of “serious” cyclists, which included the MAML (Middle-Aged Man in Lycra) on racing bikes and excluded the person picking up groceries on a bike with baskets. Which summs up to “cycling is for recreation”. And visibly, the aggressive cyclists tend towards that MAML image, rather than dad picking up groceries or mom cycling to work.

Tl;DW/R: pretending bikes are cars and claiming bike lanes are dangerous.

Vehicular cycling advocates have set cycling back decades in USA, with the result being this thought.

A car or a bicycle travelling at 30% of the speed of traffic introduces a considerable risk. It’s why bike lanes aren’t also sidewalks. But it’s not a reason for vehicular homicide!
