Walk up to door with stack of papers with a stock photo of a puppy on it that says lost puppy. Check if there's a camera. If the owner comes outside, ask them if they have seen this puppy.

Allow me to introduce you to sleepers which are somewhat expensive cars disguised as cheap pieces of shit. Most I've been in are absolutely terrifying but seem like lots of fun.
westmeal··on US memo to colleges proposes terms on ideology, foreign enrollment for fed funds
Me neither and I share your concern. That being said it's my opinion this popularity is propped up by algorithms that tend to push people towards this type of dumb shit. If there was a way to get through to these misguided idiots I think this country may have a shot at not being a complete hellhole. Is it idealistic and naive? Maybe. Just my two cents y'know.
westmeal··on Windows 7 marketshare jumps to nearly 10% as Windows 10 support is about to end
Of course, the OS doesn't really matter it's just easier to manage a Linux box as opposed to a windows machine half the time. Especially for a server. Theres a lot of stupid shit you'll see on consumer and even enterprise versions of Windows which I've had to unfortunately deal with for a decade in exchange for money. Since the gp mentioned how frustrating it was I can relate.

Edit: also ufw is so much easier than the windows firewall. That shit drives me insane.

Ive honestly never heard of coretto but it seems to be basically openjdk 21 under the hood so I don't see why that'd be a problem.

It wasn't meant as a personal attack against you Jesus Christ.

I wouldn't recommend doing it for mc. They keep changing and or using old jvms. What I do is I just go on oracles site and get the jdk they list that works, and run it directly from the folder. Also some distros do make it a pain lol.

There are options but those options won't end up well for you as an individual. The only way things can change is collective action and people are too glued to their social media bubbles to realize that we're not as different as we think.

So much easier to run mc servers on Linux boxes. You just grab the jvm that version wants and throw everything into a folder and use the jvms java executable on the server.jar.

So sorry bro, you're living proof things can get better and i hope you enjoy your time on this molten ball of rock with her

westmeal··on How big a solar battery do I need to store all my home's electricity?
Diesel is not the same as a gas generator. There are a lot of things to go wrong with gas engines tbh. Diesel on the other hand will mostly run without too much fuss so long as there is compression and there is fuel.
westmeal··on You Need to See Epstein's Birthday Book for Yourself
Not without a lot of violence that most likely won't end up doing anything in the age of remote drone assassinations and missiles.

westmeal··on New research reveals longevity gains slowing, life expectancy of 100 unlikely
It's funny to say this when there in fact is wealth but is mostly tied up in assets owned by rich douchebags and trust fund kids. Financially practical is just a nonsense word considering money isn't even tied to anything anymore either.
westmeal··on Flunking my Anthropic interview again
Where do you think you are? 90% of the posts are exactly that.
westmeal··on Altered states of consciousness induced by breathwork accompanied by music
Jokes aside I've definitely melted my face to visualizers before.
westmeal··on Uncle Sam shouldn't own Intel stock
I mean it really wasn't. Every time a country has tried communism it's fallen straight down the despotism rabbit hole or had the government taken over by officials who wanted a much bigger piece of the pie at the cost of the constituents if you catch my drift.
westmeal··on Walmart Fires VP in Tech for Taking Daily Kickbacks Starting from $30K
A kickback is money you take for a favor that isn't legal or allowed or for being in charge of a project, organization etc. Waste management contracting from the sopranos refers to a TV show about new jersey mobsters entitled the sopranos. In the show, they use a garbage disposal corporation to launder the money they make from their racketeering schemes. Whenever the boss is asked about what job he does, he just replies with 'waste management'.

Could use a VNC of sorts. Maybe a Miracast receiver that dumps the screen buffer to your own web service that just spits out the frames over UDP
westmeal··on Al Jazeera condemns the assassination of its journalists by the IOF
I think it shows clearly that the UN is just another extension of the US. They did have hearings about the rampant slaughter but mostly just sat there.

But why would the manufacturer or distributor lower their margins? Charity?
westmeal··on Programming vehicles in games
Why do you say beamngs approach is weird? They seem to take a bottom up approach and I think it's a decent way to do it.
