Dual income, no kids. Not living paycheck to paycheck.

But yeah, all of our friends are single and living paycheck to paycheck.


Do you not think some of the people asking actually want to know?


I live in a mid rise apartment with big beautiful windows, and light mode is easier to read in a bright ass room. And I don’t need to deprive myself of sunlight be working in a pitch black basement office, I’m depressed enough as it is.

Just explaining my situation, in a mid-lit room I could go either way. Dark room -> dark mode



Make another meme, maybe like that “days without an accident” counter…. Except it’s months without going over cloud budget

Then tell him that you made it, and that it’s true.


lol, I love how my

Calm down.

Was read as

CALM THE FUCK DOWN NOW. CHILL OUT. FOR FUCKS SAKE WHY WON’T YOU CALM THE FUCK DOWN?

That seems like a bit of a stretch, but hey, you’re the master estimator here. And apparently I’m just a psychotic child.

Your first message to me was fine, and my response was even keeled, simply explaining why I said what I did. But then you tacked on “crazy” in your follow up, which seemed a bit unnecessary. Now you’re calling me child. Idk….

Do you need a hug?


I started using Strongbox on iPhone & Mac for passkey support Bitwarden is still there too, esp for PC, but I may move to an all KeePass setup.



Idunno, just didn’t do the math. I’ve definitely done it before and knew that at typical safe interest rates you can live comfortably off of the interest of…. Something in the realm of 1-10 million.



A million in 6 months, I think if she could keep up near that for a couple of years, she could invest in something safe and live off of the gains.



ChatGPT writes much better than this article, here’s its response to your comment as an example:

Your frustration with the state of tech journalism is understandable, especially when it comes to covering high-end technology like the 163-inch 4K Micro-LED television by TCL. It’s true that on a surface level, comparing the pixel density of large screens to that of smaller devices like laptops or smartphones can seem straightforward. However, the engineering and design challenges involved in scaling up screen technology while maintaining image quality cannot be understated. TCL’s achievement lies not just in the number of pixels but in creating a large-scale display that maintains high-quality imagery, which is a different kind of technological feat compared to miniaturization.

Regarding the editorial errors and the critique of the writing quality, it’s clear that tech journalism, like many fields, faces challenges in maintaining high standards amid the fast pace of technology news and the pressure to publish quickly. While it’s disappointing to see, it highlights the ongoing need for rigorous proofreading and editorial oversight in publishing. However, attributing these issues to automation or outsourcing without evidence might not fully capture the complexities and pressures faced by publishers today. It’s crucial for the industry to address these issues to maintain credibility and provide the insightful, accurate tech coverage that readers deserve.


Moving a prosthetic arm. Controlling a speaking avatar. Typing at speed. These are all things that people with paralysis have learnt to do using brain–computer interfaces (BCIs) — implanted devices that are powered by thought alone.


But even soldered ram isn’t as bad as in-cpu ram. Soldered ram can be replaced/upgraded by skilled technicians. I don’t think that’s possible at all with in-cpu ram.



I’d just critique:

Which definition of “unemployment” are you referring to though?

Im asumming youre referring to the one the whitehouse likes to use, where they count minimum wage part time work as employed, and dont count people who gave up looking for work as unemployed.

Labor participation rates are improved but still relatively low lttps://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS11300000


I’m sure this all hinges on their weird “annual commitment” thing.


Beeper mini is much more secure than beeper, they don’t even need your password


You say it’s “far” but 70 years ago a simple calculator was the size of a house. The power of my desktop from 10 years ago is beat by my phone, hell maybe even my watch.

You know, you code, compute is improving rapidly, and even when it slows vertical scaling, it’s still horizontally scaling. All the while software is getting more efficient, developing new capabilities and techniques which only bring on even more innovation.

It compounds. At this point I think the only limiting factor is how much faith the rich and powerful put in AI’s ability to make them richer. The more they invest, the faster it’ll grow.


That’s my understanding as well, our brain is just an insane composition of incredibly simple mechanisms. Its compositions of compositions of compositions ad nauseam. We are manually simulating billions of years of evolution, using ourselves as a blueprint. We can get there… it’s hard to say when we’ll get there, but it’ll be interesting to watch.


I think so many people overrate human intelligence, thus causing them to underrate AI. Don’t get me wrong, our brains are amazing, but they’re also so amazing that they can make crazy cool AI that is also really amazing.

People just hate the idea of being meat robots, I don’t blame em.


Yeah, and my moms a tech worker, and just tried ChatGPT for the first time today. I wouldn’t go listening to her opinion on the topic, but she’d also not offer it with no knowledge or experience of it.


Yet I feel like there are uses for a blend:

BinGPT took a list of restaurants gave me all their hours and then formatted it into a nice markdown table for me.

Only issue is that at least one of the restaurants had the wrong hours (though I believe this was because I included notes with each restaurant and they confused it)

Still, it was nice not having to do 20 inividual searches and do the formatting manually

Hmm, odd. It seems like a hassio “media_player” should be able to be a HomeKit “Media Player” per the HomeKit documentation.



How do I get my Sonos Play:3 to show up in Homekit as a mediaplayer?
I've got Sonos showing up in HomeAssistant, as a media player with all the expected controls and info. I tried going through the UI, creating a new homekit integration, accessory mode, selecting just the 1 single sonos to be included. This yields me a series of switches in the Home app on my iPhone. I've tried adding the sonos through an accessory mode entry in yaml to make it mascarade as a TV and a Receiver, but each time it shows up as a "TV"/"Receiver" in the home app, but with only a power button. I've read through https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/homekit none of the troubleshooting tips helped, I heeded all info I could find on media_players, tv, and receivers. Can any one help me with this? It seems like it should be possible, I really wan't expecting this to give me the trouble it has. Ultimately I just want to be able to control things like play/pause/skip/volume via siri, if you've got other suggestions to that end, I'm all ears.

Legally we don’t, but generally, as people… I think most of us look at destruction of evidence as at least evidence of guilt.



Can you still log in to wellsfargo accounts using the T9 translation of your password?


Ah yes… that’s a very good point. I’m not about to learn a bunch of chemistry and physics and stuff… but I’d be interested in reading about this theoretical optimization if electricity was free, there was no gravity, friction was 0, etc etc etc.


Gas cars don’t have a battery, they run on… gas

Makes sense to me that they could theoretically work all the way down to near 0 kelvin, just depends on their efficiency. Just so long as there is heat to be had…

Also, not sure energy star really means much.


I thought the browser, my computer or something was slowing down. Turns out I just had way too many ublock rules.


“Google” not as much of a selling point anymore? Or are they gonna sell it off?



Just in case this helps, I think nearly all the docker containers in Unraid have these settings set: https://snipboard.io/D6ZagQ.jpg


Luckily perms don’t seem to be much of an issue on UnRaid, I think there’s a solid convention for user and group so files are generally accessible to all apps.

Worst case scenario, you just chmod 777 everything


I can’t say I know of a good single resource, I’ve learned a lot about docker and linux over the years just googling and trying things. There are now a number of scripts and docker-compose setups that will get everything set up for you with little effort.

My setup is using docker containers running on the UnRaid OS. UnRaid makes docker deployment slightly easier, but it requires that a docker container also include a custom config file that allows it to be configured via unraid’s webui. I’ve found this limiting from time to time, when I find dockers that I want to use, but couldn’t install via the webui. So I learned a bit about using docker from the command line, which actually wasn’t all that hard. Especially with docker-compose.

One issue in particular that took a minute to figure out with docker, if you need the containers to talk to eachother, you have to be aware that certain types of docker network connections will not automatically see the other containers, even if both containers are connected to your home network.

Just stick with Plex/Jellyfin + any and all apps ending with *arr (aka the *arr stack).
