Is it really worth your time to complain about fake internet points on a comment nested 4 deep?

Per local job created? As bad as they are for the environment, local folks are working there, stimulating the local economy for a much longer period than specialists flying in, spinning up a DC, then leaving for the next one.

I could be wrong, but (after all the appeals are said and done) I don't think this is going to happen under Trump.

seizethegdgap··on CDC: Unpublished manuscripts mentioning certain topics must be pulled or revised
> Now, when people introduce their "partner" in a context where it's ambiguous whether it's personal or business "partner" I have to wonder in which sense do they mean it.

You could use the power of the spoken word to ask them directly. You can ask probing questions if you’re not comfortable being that direct.

I want to thank you for this comment, I went out and grabbed a copy of Starfish and just finished it, what a ride!
seizethegdgap··on Dawarich: Self-hosted alternative to Google Location History
I’m going to have to check that out, I’m using Traccar and it’s using 5-7% and only gives me a location point every 200 seconds. How often does your location update?
seizethegdgap··on Immunotherapy Is Changing Cancer Treatment Forever
My wife has Stage 2(B?) triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Her treatment regiment includes Keytruda (pembrolizumab) once every 21 days. There was a full trial she was told about that is exploring using pembrolizumab entirely without chemo for TNBC. It's incredible that we might soon have at least one cancer that we might not need chemo to treat.

| Proud boys was originally created out of the need to protect people from the likes of Antifa, which is a facist group.

Even Gavin McInness says you're wrong here.

https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2021/06/the-secret-history-o...

| McInnes, an avid boozer, has consistently maintained that he started the Proud Boys as an outlet for harmless fun: an Animal House-style drinking club for male buddies.

https://web.archive.org/web/20190209020443/https://bedfordan...

| "It’s a men’s organization, sort of like the Odd Fellows,” McInnes explained. “It mirrors the Knights of Columbus in many ways”–another organization that he belongs to. Only in this case,the Proud Boys subscribe to an ideology of “anti racial guilt,” that, to me, seemed to evoke white pride.

| Actually, McInnes wouldn’t describe it in explicit terms like “white pride” or “white supremacy.”

| “Our motto is that, we’re Western Chauvinists who refuse to apologize for creating the modern world,” he said matter-of-factly. “That’s really the only tenet.”

seizethegdgap··on Beeper – Moving Forward
If my house was the size of twelve Tesla Gigafactorys stacked on top of each other, every other door was locked, I could track your movements throughout the house, you had your own private door and couch to sleep on, and I was worth 3 trillion dollars, sure.

seizethegdgap··on A Lot of Damage in Grindavík
I was seeing a lot of what Scarblac said they were seeing, but looking right now at

and it's pretty clean. You'll occasionally see the famous drone video from the 2021 eruption being touted as what's happening in Gridavik right now.

seizethegdgap··on Show HN: Use an old tablet as an extra monitor
For Windows, the paid program SuperDisplay will also allow you to use an Android device as a second screen, works wireless or over USB. My Galaxy Tab S7+ is great as a second monitor.

Ahhh yes, Martha's Vineyard, definitely reflects the demographics of the rest of America and is not at all a community of extremely rich people.
seizethegdgap··on Quadlets might make me finally stop using docker-compose
For fun, pretty much. 20 of them are Matrix related (synapse/dendrite, bridges, and bots), 16 for media services (Plex, audiobookshelf, etc), stuff for management/monitoring, stuff for Fediverse, etc.

Heh, Splunk is way overkill for what I need, but they have a free 10GB Dev license that you have to renew every 6 months, and building a custom COVID dashboard during the first few months of 2020 kept me sane. Here's my home/lab "prod":

Homeserver: Ryzen 3950x, 64GB RAM, Ubuntu 22.04 DNS: 1 RPi 3B+ and 1 RPi 400 running pihole and Unbound Edge router/firewall: Palo Alto PA-440 Switch: Cisco 2960 24-port w/PoE AP: Aruba AP-345 in Instant mode

Oh my god, why didn't I look into that, that's so much better. Thank you!
seizethegdgap··on Quadlets might make me finally stop using docker-compose
Yeah, she's a big girl, but having one flat file and one systemd process is infinitely better than juggling 85 of each. I have the systemd process start after docker.service, and most of my containers have a "depends_on" argument so they don't all try to boot at once. All of the containers also push logging to a Splunk instance, which adds 9 lines per container, which increases the file by 765 lines.
seizethegdgap··on FCC aims to reinstate net neutrality after us Democrats gain control of panel
You didn't address anything after the first two sentences.

> Streaming Spotify and Apple Music won't count against that soft data cap. Streaming other music services will count against it. Video streaming over YouTube, Netflix, etc is capped at 480p levels. If you pay an additional monthly fee, you get upgraded to "Unlimited Plus" which will increase your soft cap to 40GB a month and your video streaming quality to 1080p. It'll also bundle in Netflix's basic level and give you 6 months of Apple+ for "free".

What they are saying is, even in times of low/no congestion, select services are not being counted against a consumer's data cap.

seizethegdgap··on Quadlets might make me finally stop using docker-compose
For my home server, I have a flat 2507 line docker-compose file that automatically configures and boots all of my 85 containers. I still have some complexity: .env files in /opt/<container>/, a systemd process that automatically runs

  docker-compose -f /<dir>/docker-compose.yaml -d
on boot, and it's only a little irritating to have use absolute paths for everything instead of relative. But, after having to update all of my services manually for 3 years, I will never be able to go back.

I'd love a phone that converts to a tablet, but I'm not about to pay more than I paid for my desktop computer. That, and I'm hoping someone figures out a "rollable" phone without a waterfall screen instead.

I wouldn't say that buying stock in companies that provide air conditioners to consumers fits any definition of fixing the problem of man-made climate change. In fact, wouldn't a warmer planet be better for AC businesses?
