I personally know someone who uses something he calls “Dutch reach-around” and while I’m hazy on the details, I know it starts with some complex setup of a charitable foundation in your home country, with real people and real money and a network of firms and other foundations in the Netherlands that are somehow interwoven. He told me “setup is cheap, only 5 million dollars up front, you can ask my tax attorney for the deets”…

That was a nice move, but no thank you, this is not the kind of money I have lying around.

Bonus how us firms do it, I imagine this costs also a lot of money up front…

Identification of this virus began in 1973, here is an article about it from 1997. - I suppose a lifetime supply of immunosuppressants is far more profitable than the system you are proposing… but I like your system. It just is more elegant.

I think he meant an over time aquired food allergy. Esp. Older folks seem to get them -like me- one can test with a Serum specific IgE in vitro Test. There are over the counter test one can buy relatively cheap.

I did one recently, turned out I was allergic to garlic of all things (among others). Advice is to stay off it for 4-6 months then slowly reintroduce. Life is wild sometimes.

As someone who switched to Linux, and found reasons not to for literal decades, this has helped me:

Have a second ssd in your PC that is untarnished by the windows bootloader.

This way one can easily switch via BIOS / UEFI and no other annoying software.

Dual booting is also less annoying, if you switch via boot menu. It lets you test drive and configure Linux anytime you’re in the headspace for it and reduces pressure on yourself.

Install linux on it. My current favorite for your situation would be Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop Spin (what a mouthful). Have another exfat partitioned usb disk ready for file exchange with windows. Again, this makes handling windows easier, has nothing to do with linux.

Nvidia on fedora works good enough. third party repos also help a lot.

streamdeck is wonderful hardware, I know a friend who uses it daily with streamdeck_ui

• same with GoXLR Configuration Utility. Software is there, the only question is does it work for you.

This is to my knowledge as close to “official” as you can get. Good luck on your journey!

Can definitely recommend waiting for the sale, but also there are higher resolution backgrounds, making the game more visually appealing.

That mechanic looks like a game about a mermaid I played on iPad ten or so years ago. I cannot remember the name but it was like a cozy adventure game, I loved it so much…

Will definitely check this one out, thanks!

Link for the lazy - like me. That was amazing + interesting, thank you for the recommendation!

Or the Neal Stephenson Novel “Termination Shock” where rogue Billionaires shoot elemental sulfur into the upper atmosphere and it works and nothing bad happens because of it.

Reading the novel I was always waiting for basic chemistry to catch up to them (There are a few reactions going Sulfur + Ozone + UV Light > acid rain/ heat trapping isolation layer/ all sorts of cool stuff) and it was a disappointmet to me this was never discussed. I expected more from Stephenson. This book read more like a hazeography of the trillionaires club.

Thank you for your time! I did not even spot the micro-SD card first time around. This is wild!

Can someone explain what we’re seeing?

To me this looks like a compute stick with an attached DAB antenna¿¡?

Every time someone mentions “oh no solar is producing too much energy” I think of this deranged Forbes article from a few years back.

I’ve never seen the safety break feature on my phone - looked into “settings” -> “app info” for “android auto” just now.

The thing that stood out to me: I’ve disabled the ability to overlay onto other apps.

Maybe this works for you too…

This is like a feature that seems well intentioned but dangerous anyway, like the Apple look at screen to unlock feature. Hope you succeed in disabling this feature.

Twittwr link to video , to anyone curious like me. The render looks like CNSA is about as well funded as NASA.

Same. The basic stuff works and i managed to replace recipes with nextcloud cookbook but its quite heavy caldav notes and tasks support on ios would be wonderful but i couldnt find something that integrates into our workflow and systems.

Home Assistant was not on my radar. Thank you!

I currently rent a VM running nextcloud for family use. It currently shows its age with all the nescessary tinkering to keep it current. (also have to use the hosters db which is … difficult)

I’m thinking along the same lines…

a smallffpc at home, dyn to my home ip, wireguard as a vpn into my home, The server runs: radicale caldav carddav, ksmbd family photos.

my main problem: this needs to work on ios and android and linux and windows, reliably, which it currently does not in my test setup.

currently lacking a solution for recipe sharing and shopping list sharing. Maybe setting up nextcloud on my own server is less of a hassle_…

Im also sorry to hear about sneezy mcglassfaces mom. The BBS I hung out on always referred to people who always act on “bigger is better” and hated anything unusual/ foreign as “Reptiles” because well reptiles behave the same way. I think we all thought it was clever and funny. Fast forward a few years the place is full of people apparently really believing reptiles in human skin suits are real and control the world. Similar thing i saw happening a few years later with the warhammer community. Talk about people unable to read sarcasm.

Allan Quatermain reads like an indiana jones book written in the 19th century.

I also second everything written by Dumas and Verne.

Thank you, I found this list very helpful! I’m also relatively new to Mastodon and still trying to figure out how all of it works. For some reason my mobile client puts #catsofmastodon first and foremost, making it my current cute pictures/ dopamine app ;)
