SDs are cheap these days, 128 class 10 for 9$. Just don’t buy them for OS level writes, logging is ok.

I’m gonna be that guy and say most of this misses the mark. The point of stupid catchphrases is to make it extremely obvious why something is wrong in a manner that is personally relatable to the audience, nuance be damned. Not only does this not do that, it implicitly agrees with the original premise. Let’s look at common examples and retorts.

“Black lives matter” -> “All lives matter”

The initial phrase is short punchy and too the point, but the retorts is as well. Instead of trying to address the issue, it reframes the original to give it a meaning that it doesn’t have. (Black lives matter too)->(Only black lives matter). An effective* retort, but not a cache phrase of its own, lest the person be caught looking “liberal”.

“Global warming” -> “Look, a snowball/Why is it so cold?”

This retort does the same thing by instead taking the words literal meaning and misinterpreting it deliberately, rather than engaging with the vast body of science that backs it up (our actions as humans have caused a consistent rise in global temperature averages which has caused ecological disasters and a financial apocalypse). The retort moves the perspective away from the original wide view point, and directs your personal attention to the “snowball/cold” (it’s cold, therefore it is not warm) despite being incredibly stupid, this comes off as smug to their team, so they are going to repeat it. Excellent thought termination.

“Eat bugs” -> “Shrimp is bugs”

Congratulations to all of you that remember the original lemmy raids and psyop posting, so I’ll go through this one for fun. This one stems from a right wing conspiracy theory claiming that due to impending food shortages all regular food will be given to rich elites and we will all be forced to eat bugs. Uhhhhh??? (Food anxiety, antisemitism?, “economic anxiety”/suffering under capitalism, invocation of gross) Shrimp is bugs succinctly acts as a retort because it reframes the issue. Bugs ain’t cheap (you won’t be forced to eat lobster???) Shrimp aren’t gross/unfamiliar (Don’t tell me you’ve never had seafood). Destroying a global cabal in under three words might take some workshopping. (half point for smug because it is stating the obvious)

“Couch-fucker/Weird” -> no retorts yet …

10/10 no notes lmao. Being verifiably false and still accurate gives you the smugness point off of the bat. “Weird” invokes the gross which reduces support for people that wear spray tan makeup. Couch fucker is both distinct and specific enough to to be remembered, succinct in criticizing Vance’s lack of charisma and hot-topic-esqe makeup, and cannot be easily misinterpreted without ceding the entire argument.

“Go woke go broke” -> Go Nazi get shot?

A retort should be:

1. Be smug/obvious about it. (x)
2. Make the people saying it seem gross/weird/weak. (x)
3. Explain/refute/sidestep the issue. (x)
4. Under 4 words/Writable with emoji. (✓)

I’m much more fond of “Follow your leader” although that’s a general insult for people that are going mask off.

Much more fond of something that is inherently dismissive of the point like “go sleepy, baby”. Always mock the fascist.

I mean you’re right, but also, anybody who is an actual mathematician has no idea how to add 6+17, mostly only being concerned with “why” is 6+17, and the answer is something along the lines of bijective function space.

Source: what did I do to deserve this

You can try it, but I switched from Ghost to WordPress because of auto updates. Default ghost docker image doesn’t pin the correct DB version which causes errors, and watchtower updates break your website. Also, very little in the way of existing plugins or themes. Typing a new article doesn’t give much in the way for formatting.

Way more documentation on the WordPress side of things and just general QoL stuff. Plus, free templates. Spaghetti it is, but spaghetti works and I don’t feel like using Hugo.

Well, moving them is out of the question, since, you know, motion will change the clocks time. If you re-sync them, you bake the “error” into your framework. If you try a timer, the timer is offset. If you try and propagate a signal, the signal is offset. And eventually, you have to compare the two times, which muddies the waters by introducing a third clock.

Basically, there is no way to sync two clocks without checking both clocks, ergo, no way of proving or disproving. That’s the premise.

In practicality, I assume it is constant, but it’s like N=NP. You can’t prove it within the framework, even if you really, really want to believe one thing.

How would you sync them… ? Seems to beg the premise.

As a college grad, I’m pretty sure they aren’t replacing anyone. They’re just dumping the work on other employees and telling us we need another 5 years of experience to hire us.

The problem is usability for non power users. As a server environment nothing beats it but man the UI on these apps have some horrendous defaults and the CLI is everywhere. KDE still can’t get rounded corners right.

Ring and a bunch of these devices are convenience machines. The doorbell itself at minimum has a microcontroller, camera and mic with WiFi access, the server controls the doorbell, stores footage and makes live feeds available over the Internet for when you are away from home, a phone app lets you see who is at the door and let them in even when you’re not home.

For anyone interested, a self-hosted home assistant will get you 80% of the way there, depending on how paranoid you are you can also set up POE cams and frigate.

Or just have a pot someone can bang really loud that works too.

Go into grub and set intel_idle.max_cstate=1 if you want it to be elegant. Had the same problem. AMD didn’t implement proper sleep states. There’s an open PR ranting about interconnect issues somewhere if I can find it.
