Running Mint for apps like Jellyfin and Icecast that aren’t critical, and Debian for apps like Frigate that are. Mint is easier to manage and more convenient, but Debian is amazingly reliable. Docker is used for everything.

Consider adding Wireguard or similar for anywhere access. I have Tasker automatically connect whenever I’m not on home wifi so everything is always available without having detectable open router ports.

Every damn accusation is an admission with these assholes. Time for prison terms.

Trump and his ilk make Idiocracy look intelligent by comparison.

I’ve had multiple phones with replaceable batteries. As long as the phones were popular models, replacement batteries were widely available from both the OEM and 3rd parties. Manufacturing dates were usually within 6 months or so.

Once this goes into effect and there’s widespread demand for replacement batteries I suspect their will be no problem with supply.

It’s so hard to figure out who to believe.

The SPLC which has been a respected organization working for civil rights and against hate groups for decades, or a DOJ that is being used by Trump’s toadies for revenge and tirelessly protecting literal child rapists from the consequences of their crimes?

So in the event of a flu outbreak the drunk asshole in charge of the “Department of War” will be just fine with ~20% of solders bedridden and the loss of additional staff needed to care for them.

It should be no surprise that those willing to swear fealty to Trump are absolute morons.

Roku tries to monitor HDMI activity on Roku TVs so they know exactly what’s being watched at all times. They also insert ads into the menu on a regular basis and sometimes force install apps. Adguard Home has blocked the vast majority of the ads on screen, but from what I’ve found the menu ads can’t be blocked.

If I had Fire TV and it’s as bad as you say it would have been binned long ago.

Avoid Roku devices. Roku had an OK remote and decent UI, but the company has thoroughly enshittified it and turned it into an “advertising everywhere all the time” platform. There is a Jellyfin app that works well though.

CA billionaires are racing to pass a constitutional amendment to block a proposed tax on those with over a billion dollars. They’re spending an absolutely massive amount of money for a constant barrage of calls, texts and mailings.

It’s being sold as protection for the average person’s retirement accounts and savings, but that’s absolute bullshit. The proposed tax has no impact on anyone except the obscenely wealthy and there’s nothing even being suggested that would impact anyone with less than $50 million.

Billionaires have essentially unlimited budgets for propaganda and what I’ve seen is so effective I expect it to pass.

The news always fails to mention that this kind of stuff is knowable. The engineers that sized the fire suppression system knew with some degree of precision how much heat the company’s paper products generate when ignited. The system should have been sized for significantly more than that, specifically so a fire can’t get out of control and destroy the entire warehouse.

The fact the roof collapsed stinks of cost cutting. Or maybe something just failed?. We’ll probably never get that kind of detail.

Sounds like their suppression system was seriously undersized. I’d guess it was sized for regulation compliance rather than for what is actually needed for a warehouse filled with paper products.

Anyone know why a warehouse full of highly combustible goods would not be required to have a sprinkler system?

Trump could burn American cities to the ground (and tried to in Minneapolis) and Magats would still support him just as long as it wasn’t their city burning. The only reason Magats have the slightest bit of regret is they are paying more every week to fill their jacked-up 4x4s.

The Nazi asshole lives in a bubble surrounded by other Nazis and thought the majority of the country would sieg heil right along with him.

Somebody here pointed out that Hitler had a 30% approval rating at the end of WWII.

A Dell 3140 laptop. With HA and a number of other apps it loafs along at about 5% CPU. When Frigate is enabled it jumps up to 14% or so while drawing between 6 and 12 watts. The battery prevents power blinks in our area from being a problem, unlike my Pi4 that crashed and didn’t recover when I was hundreds of miles away. The battery lasts hours when the power fails and the keyboard and display are convenient.

For those concerned about the battery, it’s firmware limited to a 70% charge so it will last years. Current Li-Ion batteries have about a 1 in a million chance of fire. A car parked in your garage is hundreds of times more of a risk.

It’s been excellent and I’d buy it again.

My bad for not spelling it out to begin with.

I know who made the claim. It was a joke.

Was this before or after he teleported to Waffle House?

Try testing TLP in battery mode even if you’re not using a laptop. You can configure all kinds of things to your liking with it.

I tried it out a few years ago and none of my server apps showed any noticeable decrease in performance with it running, but my power monitoring plug did show a reduction in power consumption. I ended up leaving it enabled all the time.
