Why are people down voting news stories about things they disagree with? This is objectively an event that has happened regarding an influential person and a serious armed conflict.

This post is at -2 right now. Is this story posted in the wrong group? Fake? Sensationalized?

We can’t just “vote away” world events.

I’m not going to be much help ATM, but I believe there is some Google service that allows you to use “foreign” email addresses to log in to a Google account. What that would mean is that you could move your domains away from Google but then keep the Google accounts based on those domains active.

Anyway, fingers crossed I remember about this and actually find the thing I’m taking about and get back to you later today.

Adopt a cat. The are so, so many excellent cats (and kittens) out there with no home. Save a life instead of bringing another cat into the world.

Pressing the “Home” key will take you to the top of a page (Function+Left on Mac I think), unless I’m misunderstanding what that extension does.

This is only slightly related - I lost a small number of files with DreamHost object storage, and they were charging more than S3 per GB.

So, I agree you usually get what you pay for, but also make sure the provider is all-in on the product. I think DreamHost really isn’t interested in their virtualized/cloud offerings.

I would say the technology for cloud gaming is here today, but the home internet connections of a lot of people aren’t ready yet.

You witness this a lot with video conferencing. People tell one person their audio/video is shitty, and that person just shrugs and says “yeah, I have bad internet.” In my head I’m screaming “Well, what have you tried?!” or “I see you sitting beside the refrigerator there!”

Ooh, we’re not at the speed of light as a limit yet, are we? Do you mean “point A to point B” on fibre, or do you actually mean full on “routed-over-the-internet”? Even with fibre (which is slower than the speed of light), you’re never going in a straight line. And, at least where I live, you’re often back-tracking across the continent before your traffic makes it to the end destination, with ISPs caring more about saving money than routing traffic quickly.

As someone who takes an ADHD medication, I find the idea of a drug shortage terrifying. Life gets so, so much harder when I’m unmedicated.

It’s like the difference between walking on a sidewalk and walking in sucking mud, with stuff falling out of your pockets you have to keep going back to find. You build a life that’s only possible thanks to your ability to walk on sidewalks. If you suddenly find you can only get around by walking through mud, even with a huge amount of will power, you’re going to watch your life fall apart as you just can’t keep up the pace of your old life.

Every once in a while I’ll use dish soap and my fingers, then dry with a microfiber cloth.

Microfiber cloth and whatever that glasses spray is works ok, but after a while it feels like I’m just pushing smudges around. Dish soap for the microfiber cloth will also fix that.

When I see people using their shirt to clean their glasses I cringe inside.

Just the other day my dog lost track of his frisbee in the water. It barely floats so it must be hard for him to see. He swam around in circles for a while looking for it. My wife started cheering when he would swim towards it, then go “oh! no. no. no” when he was swimming away from it. He essentially worked out hotter/colder on the spot in order to find his frisbee.

I journal to process thoughts, feelings, and problems, so I often go back to try to help me “figure things out.” It’s a double-edge sword sort of situation. Like it really lays bare the fact that certain problems I’ve made zero progress on over the years, but on the other hand, it’s helps me realize other places where I’ve made way more progress than I would have thought.

If you’ve ever seen the Black Mirror episode where they’re able to record their memories and play them back, it can be a little like that. An argument with the wife? I can pull back every. single. time. she’s done “that” before. I think that’s probably not good.

Anyway, overall, when I come away from reading past journal entries I tend to feel a lot more calm and humble.

If there’s one lesson my wife has taught me it’s that telling someone to “calm down” is a sure fire way to not have them calm down.

Is it just a matter of using a VPN?

Something I worry about, but haven’t seen anyone mention yet, is that a long-after-the-fact apology seems a little self-serving. I’m the one who feels bad, so I’m going to bring something up again hoping that I feel better about the situation afterwards.

There are people I didn’t treat very well when I was young. When I think about reaching out to apologize I imagine the interaction ending with me feeling better and them feeling shitty again.

Reading this thread, however, it doesn’t look like that’s how this usually goes. So, maybe I should rethink it.

Can you say more about this? The video card you’re passing through is on the Proxmox server, yes? Then you’re booting VMs and connecting via a thin client?

No lag issues? Are you connecting local USB devices to your thin client? What about video conferencing?

I feel like a proper contingency in this scenario would be some sort of “instant death” system. Knowing you’re going to die, but waiting 96 hours for it to happen sounds terrible.
