What can I do to expedite global warming? I want to do my part.

What's red and bad for your teeth? A brick.

Driving to Texas. Half way there, at night, not many cars on the road, I seen glow on the left side of the road. Slowly I notice it's a fire. As I get closer I noticed it was a pickup truck fully engulfed.

I ended up just driving without stopping because: I had somewhere I needed to be and I was exhausted Anyone that was in that truck was already dead

Does scp resume broken transfers? If not, maybe rsync instead. Lots can go wrong for connectivity over the span of hours/days

I accidentally wiped my backup. I'm redoing my storage setup and had the backup laying nearby.

I was stunned. I immediately gave up and went to bed.

I was thinking maybe about trying a Proxmox cluster across 6 nodes, and using containers for the Jellyfin media streaming stack here:

For storage, I have two 4tb drives, and I'd like to have them separated across two different nodes, but mirrored and preferably auto fail-over.

Thoughts? Ideas?

So wouldn't that mean actively going around telling newbies why church is bad? Which is what we don't want religious folks doing?

I find myself guilty of watching YouTube Shorts. Besides that, plenty of movie scenes because I can't bother to watch a 2 hour long movie any longer. A lot of my saved videos are of things I want to learn. Lately about gesture drawing and watercolor painting. Then I skip through those videos and frequently increase playback to 1.25-1.5 speed.

This might be the one created by the owner of Action Sports in Marshall Minnesota. I believe it is a son and a son in-law, around 2006 one of them had an accident and became paralyzed. Next year, the other had an accident and became paralyzed. This guy made this wheelchair for them. He sells the wheelchairs as well.

Googled it. Called the Action Track Chair.

I made a habit of checking out Goodwill for boardgames. Best one yet was King of Tokyo for maybe $10. Like new condition.

You can pirate books. Use Calibre and build your library. I have over 2000 books. Doesn't take much storage either.

What are your thoughts on Monoprice DLX Plus guitars versus guitars such as Squier Affinity/Classic Vibe, Epiphone Special, Yamaha Pacifica, Harley Benton, and etc?

Try chicken cooked only to 150 sometime. It really does make a positive difference. Extra juicy and extra tender

I am trying to start analyzing my games, but I am a bit unsure how to even go about doing that. I originally would have the computer analyze my game, and comment on what I think are the main points of the match I should keep in mind.

I have the following tips so far:

  • serious games, create a study to analyze
  • try to comment what went through your mind as you played the game
  • view what others did in a similar position using a database
  • have final comments/lessons learned
  • classify mistakes. leads to pattern recognition
  • computers don't fully understand openings *use computer analysis after my own analysis and see where my analysis went wrong

More entertaining than educational. Not so much about education and more about diving into the people and culture and fun stories. Maybe I'm looking for fun inspiration.

Few reasons. One, to help me advance in my career. Two, because I like the idea of open source. Three, tech business are kind of acting evil for money, so I'm going back to being self reliant and piracy.

I may have the options between two Mikrotik l009 routers or a single rb5009. Which route should I go?

Just bought Cyberpower OR700 1U UPS (20lbs). Will I need rack mount rails to support the back or will the cage nuts at the front be enough to support the UPS?

I'm working on building a personal alternative to Spotify and YouTube Music and I've hit two roadblocks.

  1. Genre labeling in my library is inconsistent and manually updating 2500+ MP3s isn't feasible. I've tried using beets with the LastFM plugin in quiet mode but no luck. Any ideas?

  2. Where can I bulk download diverse music catalogs? I've snagged some 'top 90s/80s/hiphop/etc' collections, but 2500 songs don't go far.

What I miss about Spotify and YouTube Music is their ability to auto-play similar tunes based on my current selection. Any advice would be appreciated.
