It’s great - if you have a good boss.

Unlimited cons: need approval, don’t get paid for unused time when you leave
Limited cons: needs approval, some places have use it or lose it policy for each year or you need to wait for days to accrue, limited sick days

Unlimited pros: unlimited, usually comes with unlimited sick days, don’t have to worry about accruing days
Limited pros: get paid for unused days when you leave

My MIL isn’t addicted to Facebook, but fell deep into vegan/plant-based stuff lately and says the same thing about doing her own research and not blindly believing stuff. I already knew a lot of the stuff she has been pushing on us was complete BS but the kicker was when she said meat and dairy cause autism

finestnothing,

My MIL went full plant based (vegan but also only raw or minimally processed foods, doesn’t even eat tofu or olive oil if she can avoid it) after watching some documentary on Netflix and it is her entire personality now, including trying to force it on my wife I who already eat vegetarian 95% of the time (everything at home is vegetarian, occasionally eat meat out if none of the vegetarian options sound good) primarily for environmental and health reasons. Every time we visit her she makes some snide and not even veiled remarks about us still occasionally eating meat and still eating dairy, her favorite is referring to any sort of cheese as “congealed cow puss”.

She also 100% believes it can cure diabetes, Alzheimers, dementia, and cancer in a matter of months and that meat and dairy cause autism.

I tried doing this but I could never visualize the fight or what something looked like… Turns out I have aphantasia and had no idea for 24 years because I just assumed no one else actually “saw” images when told to imagine something either and it was just a phrase

She has currently donated over $15 billion since the divorce (started with $38 billion in amazon shares, now is worth about $40 billion despite stock price doubling in the 5 years since then), none of it with strings attached or being future promises like most billionaires. She doesn’t need tax cuts since she just gets taxed on what she actually spends from capital gains tax (or whatever, I’m not an accountant), she doesn’t stay in media spotlights except for when her donations go out, her donation org website does semi-yearly updates so its not trying to be a source of info or drama, etc.

She hasn’t lost money because she amazon stock price keeps going up, she’s just not gaining as much as she could be if she hoarded her wealth, but she knows she has more money than she could ever hope to or want to spend in her lifetime, her kids lifetimes, or however many generations $40 billion can support even assuming the amazon stock prices get tanked (very unlikely).

She just is a good human being with a good heart. It’s rare that people like that have this kind of money to give away for purely charitable reasons, but here we are

And have to be bullied out or fired to prevent that, making the police department lose their expensive investment.

There are good cops - they just end up getting bullied out or fired for trying to do the right (and legal) thing

finestnothing,

Didn’t even know it was out yet tbh

finestnothing,

I think Plex is better for newbies, less setup and most will want to watch outside of their network easily with little setup. That said, Plex is getting a bit enshittified so I’ve been eyeing the switch to jellyfin just in case (I’m not a newbie, k simply was when I started using Plex and don’t want to deal with the change if I don’t have to)

finestnothing,

The religious marriage to rule them all: doom Emacs (or other packages that do similar things). All the excellent text editing of vi/vi/vi/vim, the ecosystem and all the features of emacs.

For anyone who hasn’t heard of doom Emacs, it’s emacs with a lot of customizations baked into it, one of the biggest selling points is that everything uses vim keybinds now (where it makes sense). You get the amazing ecosystem of emacs with the ease of movement and editing of vim, plus a lot of other QOL features. It’s also just vanilla emacs with pre-made (and easy to edit) config files and helper functions so you can move over existing stuff if you want, and you don’t have to worry since all the emacs packages will still work, since it’s still emacs

finestnothing,

You should check out last.fm (or musicbrainz, which I prefer since its open source). You connect your apps to it (Plex, tidal, Spotify, etc), they send over songs as you listen to them, you can rank them as love or hate (and some other stuff) and they curate playlists and artists that they think you’ll like based on your listening habits

finestnothing,

So far I really haven’t had musicbrainz be missing any artists or songs, idk if its different if you listen to indie or niche music though

finestnothing,

There are some really awful captchas out there. I miss the days of just typing out some stretched and tilted numbers and letters.

finestnothing,

I always use i because I’m too lazy to type out iterator when I’m making my garbage spaghetti code that will support infrastructure for years

finestnothing,

I think it’s more that it’s in their master’s capstone class. In undergrad, definitely too harsh. But for a master’s program I get it

finestnothing,

They’ll just monitor everything you watch or do on it and detect anything NSFW.

I wish this was a /s but I can definitely see it happening since they’d have to ban the whole Internet to keep any sites with NSFW content from playing

Jayjo, to selfhosted

@selfhosted Have a commerical @wireguard vpn on my server. The problem i have is that if i use a docker, it does use the vpn interface with iptables, but if that goes down, the docker still goes through without the vpn interface. I have looked at iptables, but docker makes it own, and bit of a minefield. Any ideas? Thanks

finestnothing,

Same here, idc about some of my containers going through VPN (tandoor, gitea, Plex, etc) but my whole arr suite, qbittorrent, and sabnzbd are routed through a gluetun container that uses my protonvpn credentials. Never have to worry about turning my VPN off for gaming or something since the… totally legal research papager aquirerer apps… are all routes through the VPN which changes it’s connection every 4 hours (changes my public IP but also just to make sure none of the containers run into any issues that they can’t figure out without a restart)

finestnothing,

It seems like a phishing email, idk if the sender is the correct one or not since it was cropped but the Twitter logo is on it despite that being phased out. My bet is that the reset password is a bogus page that has you enter your current password to reset it, that or someone at Twitter missed updating a logo in just this email template

Fresh eggs at room temp will stay good for 2 - 4 weeks at room temperature, 3-6 months refrigerated. If you need to refrigerate fresh eggs, you have too many chickens

finestnothing,

Sounds like a radio station where there community submits songs

finestnothing,

Can’t unionize if you never go home or get breaks

finestnothing,

Still getting updates, matchmaking is pretty much instant, and dev is still good. I think they’ve slowed down on content since release, but they are still doing balancing, reworks, etc while adding new content and have a roadmap and planned features floating around somewhere iirc. They’ve added new maps, reworked existing maps to make them more even and more fun, added new guns, balance guns when one floats up to be OP but not nerfing them into the ground (except when needed, there was an SMG that was absolutely broken at launch).

I played bf2042 for about 10 minutes before returning it, I have about 300 hours in battlebit. Graphically it’s absolutely nothing special, but gameplay is very smooth, destruction is great, don’t need to worry about lag or fps much because of the graphics so everyone is pretty even regardless of machine.

I do miss jets/planes from battlefield games, but that’s about it tbh

finestnothing,

The only subscriptions I am willing to pay for:

Phone bill - no choice
Internet bill - no choice
Insurance - no choice
World of Warcraft - sue me
Costco membership - worth it
VPN - worth it

I don’t pay for any others. Paid for lifetime Plex for the convenience of not needing to pay for a website domain like I would for jellyfin, and self host my own music, tv, and movies

finestnothing,

I stream my Plex server to my parents and inlaws so local and wireguard only isn’t feasible

finestnothing,

Steamboat Willy is in the Public domain as of Jan 1st

finestnothing,

Yep, their free servers are great for trying out the service and web browsing if you don’t it being slow, but none of the free servers are p2p enabled. Only paid servers have p2p
