Do you use Firefox?
because Google intentionally nerfs loading performance on any non-Chrome browsers.

I usually find if startup buffering takes more than 2-3 seconds on my home Internet, just refreshing the page magically makes it go away.

Fifth and Sixth amendments: “Am I a joke to you?”

…bah who am I kidding, the entire bill of rights is a joke to the pissdrinkers.

Billy Joel didn’t forget about it when writing We Didn’t Start The Fire. Which, unfortunately, is basically the only reason I know about it…

Oh fuck I need that neon tube check engine light sign

Musk doesn’t have shit for money. He wanted the 56B payout from Tesla’s equity to conveniently almost perfectly cover the money he was forced waste on buying his nazi propaganda broadcast site.

he shided and farded so hard that he inked

Yes, in some ways Ukraine is defending the West… proxy wars are nothing new, and this is definitely a proxy war by any definition of the term.

HOWEVER, if Ukraine didn’t want to defend themselves and wished to preserve life, they would have rolled over, gotten rid of their president, and handed the country over to Putin by now. They’ve proven they are not above driving out their president and upper leadership by public demonstration, they have done it before specifically to get rid of a pro-Russian president and parliament prior to Putin’s invasion of Crimea. They chose this path for themselves in 2014, they do not want to be involved in Putin’s authoritarian state. It is up to us in the west to support that path and right to self determination.

It is also in the best interest of both to not get the west directly involved (yet, anyway), because Russia can and will take NATO troops being deployed as an invitation to start a broader hot war, and then everyone loses.

Both Ukraine and the west understand Russia doesn’t stop there. Appeasement has never, ever worked with egotistical empire building dictators in the past before, and it will not work now. Just letting Russia have Ukraine would save lives, but inevitably cost more in the long run.

The response was probably “<admin> banned elliot_crane” from .ml + hexbear, and the ban conveniently didn’t federate to .world’s modlog

damn Russia really should have thought of the children before they started unprovoked invasion of a soverign nation with intent to conquest #3

the hell kind of abusive victim blaming mindset is this? “Clearly ukraine is in the wrong for defending themselves against an invading force”

The tight needles are likely just the result of aggressive trimming to keep the bush shape. The tree is still young so it got one fresh shoot outside of the trim line, once it finally got good sun it is running with it. That whole new growth section could be a single spring’s worth if the tree has good nutrients.

“College is fun”
Me during the entirety of college:

That’d be fine. Laptop cooling fan might die from being on all the time as well as mechanical drive issues at that age but it’s solid hardware otherwise. Pihole is not overly intensive. Ideally make sure the pihole machine is on a wired network connection inside your LAN, because wifi routing latency will be bad otherwise. So that may necessitate a thunderbolt ethernet adapter, but I’ve bodged together much worse before lol.

Pi-hole can run on any supported computer+operating system (Linux x64 or ARM based) or in a docker container, you aren’t limited to using an actual Pi.

Don’t call Raspberry a hobbyist electronics company. Their primary consumer has been business and enterprise customers for years now, industrial/controls companies jumped all over the pi as a super easy drop-in board that can be programmed by any code monkey.
The Pi hardware shortage of the last few years has mostly been because of this demand, with Raspberry openly saying they were prioritizing bulk corporate orders foe their production volume over hobby consumers. Fuck the little guy, Pi is dead.

There’s tons of similar SBC’s out there from Chinese manufacturers, like Orange Pi, Banana Pi, etc; usually using mediatek RISC-V or rockchip ARM processors. They’re all poorly supported on the software and documentation side though and take more work to get going, which has always been where Raspberry shined- nobody else has made embedded computing so easily accessible with click and go OS options and continuous kernel maintenance.
Probably the only board closest to software parity is the pine64 boards… but it’s still not quite as good.

Oh yeah. At in person networking events they are still a big thing. There just aren’t as many in person networking events these days (like trade shows), although they’re picking back up.

I’m not denying their ability to speak, I’m denying their ability to use a loudspeaker 6 inches away from my ear.

Mm, probably time to switch to a better app anyway, just using Firefox uses battery pretty good. Thanks for confirming.
