Footage taken late Friday night of a tense confrontation between pro-Palestine demonstrators and pro-Israel counter-protesters at the encampment revealed it was a pro-Israel student demonstrator who said “Kill the Jews,” asking the pro-Palestine demonstrators “anybody on board; anybody on board?”...
I got interested in SF because the librarian in my elementary was a SF lover. There were racks of paperbacks that I gobbled up and it’s stuck with me for decades since. It makes me sad to think that kids don’t have the same chance I did to get interested at an early age in the most imaginative genre of fiction. We all need...
With a runup in home values sparking higher property taxes for many Georgia homeowners, there is a groundswell among state lawmakers in this election year to provide relief....
It’s like these lawmakers don’t know what a mill rate is or something. Property assessments are just to determine that people with more real estate wealth pay more of the share of taxes. Remarkably, it’s a progressive tax.
I understand that people that have had their houses for decades in a gentrified area get fucked, but that’s a problem for a different solution. Most houses change hands often enough that you know you’re going to be in a high tax neighborhood or not.
On Tuesday, voters in Crook County passed measure 7-86, which asked voters if they support negotiations to move the Oregon/Idaho border to include Crook County in Idaho. The measure is passing with 53% of the vote, and makes Crook County the 13th county in eastern Oregon to pass a Greater Idaho measure.
With the shipping they charge, it’s almost 50% extra on the cost of the order. In comparison, I shipped US$9500 of solar batteries across the border last month and paid $170 to a reputable broker that actually had to do some work....
You haven’t lived until you’ve compiled a 3com driver in order to get token ring connectivity so you can download the latest kernel source that has that new ethernet thing in it.
These cargo vans are heavier and get worse fuel economy than a half ton with a similar engine. I’m not sure why lemmings hold them out as the more viable alternative to pickups. They’re great if you have a bunch of stuff to protect from prying eyes but don’t tow well and you can’t put long, heavy or tall things in.
“Hello, police? Yes, this is Kristi Noem. Yes, I have a dog that got lost, so could you find it and shoot it for me? Normally, I’d just shoot it myself before it got lost, but I was running late this morning. Thanks.”
Custom responses is something I’ve been waiting for with bated breath. I used TTS over media player but that messed up whatever the media player was doing so I dropped it.
I wouldn’t be afraid to use Proxmox for small and middle size business. It’s solid and based on solid, opensource tech. As long as people make sure they get paid, I’m sure they’ll get even better.
Good on you for making sure your clients pay for support, that’s how opensource thrives.
GrapheneOS has a sandboxed Google Play that works fine with any banking apps I’ve used. You can also move them to a work profile to segregate them further and still used them.
We have our house and a cabin. While I guess I could make an area for the cabin, it has it’s own areas that I’d like to manage separately (and copy automations directly)....
If you’re using Voice Assistant, the recog and TTS are much faster and more fluent than what I’ve seen on my own system. I am running it as a VM on an old server, so hardware will matter, of course. Also, you can get remote access with Home Assistant Companion proxying your HA interface very seamlessly. There might be others, but this is what stands out to me.
