If you haven’t seen it yet, I can’t recommend Midnight Mass highly enough! Probably my favorite horror/spooky thing ever. Best to go in blind, I think. It’s not a mystery per se, but figuring out what’s going on is part of the fun for sure.
Here’s the list of devices supported by fprint
For non -standalone readers, you’ll have to look up the actual fingerprint reader embedded within it.
It’s impossible for me listen to someone arguing in favor of eugenics without hearing, “we’ve gotta get rid of those people- you know the ones in talking about, right?” Fuck that noise.
It’s always some narcissistic asshole who thinks they’re the prototype for a new master race.
It also has the benefit of being able to apply the vast majority of Ubuntu tutorials, etc. since it’s based on it. Plus it doesn’t force you to use snaps for everything.
It’s no fun though. I had an old tracker that the clutch cable broke on. It was my only vehicle and it took a couple weeks for the replacement to come in. Switching between gears was okay once I got the hang of matching RPM. Starting, however, required me to turn the engine off at every stop, putting it in first, then letting the starter pull the car along a few feet until the engine was turning fast enough to run. It was a miracle I didn’t burn the starter up. Thank god I lived in a pretty rural area and only had a few stops between home and work.
Overall, I’d rate driving manual without a clutch 1/10.
For a company, it’s essential to be able to monitor/review employee communications for legal/compliance reasons. That said, while you should assume that any communication made with your official email/slack/teams/whatever can be seen by the company if it needs to be (e.g. somebody sues for something, even something potentially unrelated to you, that creates a need to search for relevant records), it’s unlikely that Slack is actively reporting your conversations to your boss.
As others have said, if you don’t want your company to see something you’re saying, don’t say it at work or on their platforms. In the U.S. at least, you have no expectation of privacy at work. If you’re worried about something you’ve already said, you might just be screwed. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
At least among the folks in my circles, in addition to the many fine answers already given, it refers to an irl action that is completely idiotic/unhinged that you’re doing for laughs (either your own or those around you).
Check out low end box. I found coupons for racknerd. I have one VPS that’s $10/yr, another that’s $18/yr. I’ve had zero downtime in the 18 months I’ve used them. No complaints from me. YMMV of course.
You can get super cheap VPSs and use them just as a reverse proxy (with access via VPN). I host 11 servers using one single-core VPS as a reverse proxy. All data resides on premises, in house. I pay 10/yr for VPS. It definitely does not defeat the purpose.
I’m not a docker expert- i tend to just run everything in an LXC. But, doesn’t docker typically run as root? It might be that you gave your lxc user UID proper permissions, but not the lxc root UID.
Alternatively, you are aware that LXC UID 1000 != Host UID 1000, yes?
FWIW, permissions in proxmox/LXC are really clear and predictable… once you understand the way the map in the config files.
Aside from driving being an activity that, in my opinion, will require something approaching AGI, there are other issues to consider. Self driving cars will be completely unable to make difficult decisions reliably. How, for example, do they deal with a robbery where you just have someone stand in front of the car to immobilize it and then have the folks inside the car at your mercy? I have to imagine that either you’re producing pedestrian murder machines or serving up passengers on a silver platter.
Well, on substack, that community of writers includes nazis who are able to monetize their hate through that platform. So, if that’s what you’re looking for…
I think this might want a clean sheet design. At least as I understand it, there are issues with privacy in the fediverse/activitypub vis-a-vis non-public messages. I think it’s also an area where, in order to go the most good, you’d want simple signups and easy engagement (to say nothing of being able to trust that your info has been deleted when you delete it).
Clearly, I’m here and I value the philosophical underpinnings of the fediverse, but I think it might not be the best fit for dating.
That said, if you feel like you can solve those problems, you’d be doing a world of good if you’re right.
Nonprofit versions of vital social tech. If I had the money sitting around, I’d love to start a nonprofit dating site/app. I met my wife on OKC in 2011 before it got bought up and enshittified. It was great and wasn’t geared toward just keeping you engaged (they’re soooooo bad now!). You’d probably have to gatekeep it with a small fee to disincentive bots, but with a relatively small investment, you could create something really useful for folks without preying on anyone’s desperation.
Signal would be a good model for this sort of thing.

Racknerd via the coupon @ Low end box.
The full price is like $24/yr, so even if it goes up, meh.
I’m a big fan of cheap (as in ~$10/yr vps) and reverse proxy over wireguard. My home ip isn’t exposed and I’m able to quickly spin new containers up by updating my reverse proxy config and adding a wireguard peer.
I keep two VPSs- one as reverse proxy for all my miscellaneous services and another solely for email. The latter port forwards raw traffic over wireguard to my email server container. That way, even if the VPS gets compromised, my personal data remains secure.
I end up paying ~ $30/yr (+ whatever I’m paying in electricity) for domain + VPS. It’s a bit more involved than tailscale, etc, but I’m willing to put in a little extra work to make sure I’m not at the mercy of some company getting up to some rent-seeking bullshit.
I agree with respect to the low likelihood of changing one’s old posts being effective in preventing their being used as training data. I’d assume, however, that those who are motivated to “vandalize” (itself a loaded term to refer to altering one’s own words) their old posts have more than one motive; in addition to inconveniencing humans, doing so devalues reddit as a place to find information and, in theory, punishes reddit for their actions, maybe even deters others from behaving similarly.
This a situation where I think that maybe a shared distaste/disdain for “slacktivism” leads to folks discouraging potentially effective collective action in one of the limited contexts where online protest has a chance of having any effect.
It’s a hoodie.
Same here. There’s plenty I might like to change here and there in life, but absolutely nothing on this front. Celebrating 11 years in a few weeks, best decision I ever made.
Now, the first time… Well, second time’s the charm, it would seem.
Same here. Fuck the naysayers who say cold turkey or nothing. Do what works for you.
For OP: One caveat to the vape plan is you’ll likely need to get a vape that’s refillable so you can customize the nicotine level. Juul/vuse/disposables typically only come in one, or at best, 2 nicotine levels, which prevents effective tapering.
Also, don’t fall into the trap of vaping places you wouldn’t have smoked (e.g. in your house/car). That can increase your nicotine dependency.
Good luck!
