Ancient civilisations. Noiser network. Paul McGann is the Narrator.

Ooohh ooh audio books are my bag baby yeah.

Podcasts too.

It’s all about timbre and accent. I could listen to the right voice read the phone book.

I’m not in the market for a BYD but I’m stoked to see Telsa taking a beating.

Oh man. Do you really want to have a debate about the meaning of the word synonym?

Please, by all means, continue believing you’re right about everything.

Pretty sure everyone else will continue finding you insufferable.

thesauris.com, merriam-webster, and collins all disagree with you.

They aren’t synonymous if they describe different things

This is clearly false. Obviously the degree of difference determines whether terms are synonymous. You’re correct that not all taxes are tariffs. Apparently however that doesn’t mean they’re not synonyms.

Additionally one term being a subset of the other evidently does not preclude being a synonym.

If you have a bet, and every dictionary says that you’re wrong, then you should just graciously pay up.

I’d say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work.

That’s not what a synonym is.

It’s anti-intellectualism.

You don’t need to understand any of it, you can just ask people who spend their lives researching this stuff.

Trump and musk couldn’t care less about protests outside embassies.

The Tesla protests are hurting musk.

Yeah that’s pretty much my take.

It sucks that content creators are fixated on advertising revenue or whatever they get from subscriptions.

Time Team is doing really well with patreon by offering exclusive content there.

I personally am not really sure that the peer to peer bandwidth model for peertube is the right way to go. I’m also certain that peertube is a terrible name.

I think something federated with channels providing their own bandwidth but discoverable from other instances might be the way to go.

1. I’m running these services on an OVH server in a data centre. It’s costly but I need it for my consultancy anyway and it’s an absolute beast. immich runs in a container, along side wireguard and traefik containers. borgmatic (for backups) runs on the host.
2. I have 4 backup repos. One on disk alongside production data. One in OVH storage. One on my homeserver. One unencrypted on a removable disk in my fireproof safe. If OVH facility and my home both suspiciously burn down I will still have the data.
3. Are you talking about cloudflare tunnels? I’m using wireguard. Wireguard itself is easy enough to configure. Then attach the immich docker container to the wireguard container’s network stack. Traefik is a bit of a bitch though, happy to explain more if you’re interested.

Americans are weird.

Honestly the time with your partner and kid is precious irreplaceable.

Anyone who’s weird about it is insecure about their own paternal involvement.

Fair enough.

Having known victims of vandalism I can say it hurts more than theft.

allegedly costing hundreds of thousands of dollars in losses.

Also it’s sabotage, which might attract heavier penalties than mere theft?

I would think very carefully before contacting the police. I am not suggesting that you should provide a safe harbor for people sharing CSAM, or obfuscate their crime. You absolutely should take action, but carefully weigh your options before calling the police.

While it may (possibly!) be true in your jurisdiction that platform operators are not liable for user content, police aren’t on “your side”. Even if you assume the highest standards of professionalism from them, they need to represent the interests of the victims (not you) and need to diligently investigate the crime. That means they need to confirm beyond reasonable doubt that you are not involved beyond operating the host.

Just because you self-disclose does not mean that you are innocent. You could’ve been actively participating and when threatened with blackmail you’ve decided to self-disclose to avert guilt.

Another consideration is what else I have on my server. I’m catch and release for pirate movies and TV these days so there’s only 100gb or so. I do have several hundred pirate audiobooks though. Deleting all that before handing my server over will look very suspicious.

With all of this in mind, the only course of action is to talk to a lawyer. A lawyer will know exactly what laws are relevant, and can guide you through the process of self-disclosure while minimising the imposition on you.

Is it weird that I’ve never heard this term “mutual aid” before this thread but apparently everyone here knows all about it?

Anyway. There’s just no way I’d give real money to someone asking for it like this because for every real person there must be a dozen scammers at least. It honestly seems crazy to me that this could work and people could send money.

If people are giving money away like this then they’re part of the problem IMO. You’re encouraging scammers, and perpetuating the practice, diverting money away from the people who actually need it.

Hol up. Are notes stored in files in a directory structure or a single file? Just that you said “the file” so I’m wondering.

If so, that’s lock in.
