The list is too long to mention this weeks additions but every day there is a new outbreak of #eshittification .
They are going to push us back to paper and pens, talking on the phone, flipping pages to get our information, and Polaroid cameras if they don't stop.
Season 3 of The Outlaws just dropped episode 1. There's only 6 episodes per season.
It's a crime comedy, with 81 yr. old Christopher Walken as part of the cast.
Seven strangers from different walks of life - people who would never normally interact - are forced to work together to renovate a derelict community center as part of their probation. They resent the work and each other
When one of them gets dragged into a dangerous organized crime, they unite in ways none of them thought possible.
@paul This show is proof of who was the talented writer of the original UK version of The Office.
Also, it's funny how Merchant always writes parts for himself as an awkward, weird loser. Gervais always writes himself as the greatest human being who ever lived, who is right about everything and everyone loves him despite his character presenting no evidence as to the fact.
No diss to devs, but #Jellyfin 10.9.* has been a disaster of a release across all platforms. Now up to 10.9.4 with more coming soon. The newest is shows disappearing, scan failures, etc.
I hope at some point a release autopsy is done to figure out what went wrong
My guess is not enough non-dev beta testers across different platforms & devs working only with the platform of their preference–things getting merged not fully tested across platforms
I am thinking of breaking #Postgres and #ElasticSearch to a separate server instead of increasing my current VPS resources.
I'll have two servers. My main, which will run Mastodon, and another that will have Postgres and ElasticSearch on it.
Will I benefit by doing this or should I just move ElasticSearch to its own server? What is the minimum CPU/ram I can get for the second server & what should I get?
@paul Yeah, it's a pain, and that totally lines up with my experience
For one of the big products at my job, literally over half of the hosting cost comes from ElasticSearch's RAM requirements alone. Every other microservice put together doesn't even come close to the RAM usage of just ElasticSearch. It's pretty insane for something that isn't, like, the core service being provided to customers
@paul i run my mastodon instance on two of Hetzner’s CAX 11 servers (ARM 64, 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM) and they work very smoothly. One runs mastodon (incl Postgres) the other elasticsearch)
I’m not sure it makes sense to break out Postgres and elasticsearch onto the same server: both of these need quite a lot of resources, and I’d therefore like them on different servers. The one running mastodon would otherwise probably be quite idle (relatively speaking).
I split mine out primarily because I felt this gave me more resilience: any potential issues with elasticsearch (it hogging resources, needing scaling etc) wouldn’t affect my main mastodon experience.
Ohio parents receive $4 million dollar hospital bill after delivering quadruplets'
They all needed to be admitted to the NICU and each of her four babies ended up staying between 64 days and 147 days which totaled over $4 million, for which all of it was covered by #Ohio#Medicaid
I wonder what the actual amount the hospital got was, because the bills sent to patients' vs Medicaid payment max is greatly inflated. My guess, $250-500K.
As a Republican state, Ohio has embraced a lot of Liberal healthcare, for as much as it can being a GOP state.
As a whole, the US needs to come to a real reckoning over healthcare, but it's a business and over the last decade, the investors and private equity investors have dived deeper into it. I have a feeling cost will go up and care will go down. That's what I've experienced with my main healthcare providers, after they were taken over by an investment firm.
TV: "He watches Rawhide 24/7. Hello! It's 2024! I'm 4K. Something in color and high resolution please. "
Table: He drops tobacco on me when he rolls and it stains my finish.
Chair, "I get the worse of it. He talks to me about the behind-the-scenes events of every episode he watches and drops lit fire on me all the time because he doesn't pack his smokes. I'll spare you the campfire Hobo Chili night details."
This isn't hyperbole. Vote out the GOP in STATE races
The GOP is so close to be able to call an Article V Constitutional Convention at the state level & rewrite the entire damn thing, authored by the Federalist Society, & there will be nothing anyone can do
Do you really want these insane laws they're passing in red states to be hard coded in the US Constitution?
Do you really want the US billionaire oligarchs to buy a constitution they are happy with?
@paul
⭐️How far are we from an Article V Convention?⭐️
Right now, there are four major campaigns for an Article V Convention:
🔸the Balanced Budget Amendment (BBA) campaign,
🔸the Convention of States (COS) campaign,
🔸the Wolf-PAC campaign, and
🔸the term limits campaign.
Each has different goals, but together, they have convinced 28 states to call for a convention.
💥That means they have just six states to go.💥
⭐️How is Common Cause working to stop an Article V Convention?⭐️
Common Cause has made
– and will continue to make
– great strides in this fight for our democracy.
We have the expertise, the nonpartisan reputation, and the grassroots power to win.
Right now, we are working with our allies in state legislatures across the country to reject and rescind calls for a convention.
Already, we have secured important victories in states like Montana, New Jersey, Illinois, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, and more.
