Omg, what happened to just sitting by the water watching the boats pass. Mt family took me on an outing to some pop up museum experience where the rooms were dark and filled with videos and sound and stuff. Cool enough i guess. But after 10 min i found my way outside to a patio area facing the water and was able to just sit on a park bench. No input other than watching the waves. Spent an hour just sitting there before they found me.

Dodging military service. Maybe he has bone spurs too.

Iirc, its an unwritten law of sailors… You rescue anyone at sea, even the enemy if you can. Drowning is a horrible death.

I thought only congress could allocate funds.

If anyone says Rush, I will find you…oh yes, I will find you.

The multiple monitor thing has been an issue for years. Ive had to disable multi display at times to get games to run. Its just one of those things that will be flakey for another 10 years.

PiHole works great. I get 20% of requests denied and it really helps keep ads and unwanted sites to a minimum. It was easy to setup. I just update it via ssh once every 60days or so.

The stats are kinda revealing also as to the sites the household uses .

Let them prove it.

Jokes on them. I dont use social media. Will they deny me because i dont?

Drink water… seriously. Make tea if needed. No sodas.

Invest heavily in a good mattress, you spend 1/3 of your life on it.

Try and make something. Woodworking, painting, music, anything that makes you feel happy.

Find 2 or 3 good friends and keep them for life.

Stay away from religions and cults.

(optional) get a dog. Man and dog evolved together, we need each other.

I started Shaolin Kung Fu at 45. 7 years later im getting my black sash and getting invited into the inner chamber.

Mind if u ask how much that cloudflare front end costs you a month for how many hits?

Try nextcloud. It can generate links to files like this.

You could always just get the entire list of AWS public ranges and use that to identify interesting traffic… Of course that would vpn all AWS stuff.

If you have a list of domains, you could schedule a script to resolve each to IPs and rebuild your VPN definition every night.

That would be for the best since the US has veto rights over everything, basically.

That’s some straight up Joker shenanigans.

People say it’s a publicity stunt. Well so what. Greta knows if she goes, cameras and reporters will follow. It’s the same thing Lady Diana did when traveling to 3rd world nations…she knew that she alone wouldn’t make a difference, but the cameras and reporters that follow her would.

Greta is doing what most of us only discuss…helping. and if she helps by keeping Isreal’s hypocrisy in the news, then she wins.

I knew someone who threw away a laptop because the screen broke.

They see junk

I see a new home server with built in ups, just rip off the screen.

I have 2 streamers.

In the main room I just use an Xbox console. It streams all the services and I use it for gaming.

In the other room I built my own LibreElec, basically omsc, on a raspberry pi. It plays all my home content and can do Netflix and Amazon prime with some work. It also services as a retro pi box where I can do retro gaming emulation.

The problem I always had with the home boxes is the lack of support for Hulu and HBO. Netflix worked with an API key. It does the job even if the interface is a little wonky.

Welcome to the fold.

Been running nextcloud for 8+ years. Love the auto upload and bookmark sharing apps.

The contacts and calendar apps support DAV…I use DAVx on android to sync contacts and calendar to nextcloud …haven’t sync’d to Google. Grab it from FDroid. I have an article on my web blob explaining how to do it.

Remember to backup your cloud data and secure your web portal or run over private vpn.

Oh and go find the php updater script…it’s a life saver.
