Honestly, any movie Leto is in, replacing him with Jim Carrey would improve it.

Right‽ I don’t think anyone expected spinners to outlast SATA SSDs!

Right‽

“the problem isn’t capitalism! It’s [the natural consequences of capitalism]!”

Like, I’m sorry, but to me, this isn’t the stunning argument OP seems to think it is.

Yeah, but MP was very obviously a “designed for Enshittification” company when they were charging like $20 for unlimited movies in a month and paying out full price for movie tickets that in my area were around $16 … if I used it twice they lost a lot of money. Hell, if I used it 3x in 2 months they still lost money.

For my family, it was very much a “this isn’t going to last, enjoy it while you can” program…

It did definitely show that people not going to movies isn’t a shift in people’s enjoyment at theaters and is instead very clearly a cost issue. Price it appropriately and people will be back in the seats. Price it too high and they’ll just wait the 3 months until it comes out on streaming/disc or just completely forget about it altogether

Just my $.02

ETA: You’re willing to overlook sticky floors or whatever at a $5 matinee, you’re not going to overlook it paying nearly $20 and the nicer chairs are now an expectation and not just a ‘value add’, so that’s not enough!

Same for me, looks like us diverging for the third one saved it :-D

It’s supposed to be a place to showcase art, not a free place to advertise for your store.

The dude(ette) didn’t even post a link though from what I can see, so, the reaction is insane.

Print on demand is easy, so, I’d think any artist who’s showing off their work online should have a printer that they’ve run off a few test prints with already ready to go, in case people are interested enough to ask about purchases, but, I’m not trying to moderate a magazine/community and prevent it from being a giant advertisement, so, ::shrug::

Agreed, they’re not supposed to be laws, they’re supposed (as far as I understand it anyways) to essentially be “as the head of the Executive branch, here is how I want my underlings to handle/interpret this particular thing that the Executive branch already has authority over” … it really doesn’t make sense that they’d last any longer than that particular Presidents term(s).

Yeah, I had a overall bad experience with everything being buggy and then even devices that weren’t connected to tailscale would start trying to ping the tailnet address instead of the local (wasn’t using their funky bridge subnets feature or whatever it’s called, so I don’t know why it would happen).

Their magicDNS is cool in theory but caused me nothing but problems. Once I turned off their DNS and set up my own DNS server for it though, it’s gotten to basically be as seamless as they claim it’s supposed to be from the start. I’m no longer having any issues with it at all.

And even if they did, well, what they ACTUALLY meant was that he should do that since the usage of the word “shouldn’t” was different back then.

You’ve got to save something for the next release!

I use Weechat with Glowing Bear as a webui frontend for it, which is pretty convenient.

A couple people have suggested power tools … I’ll add that whatever battery platform you wind up going with (I went with Ryobi … good enough for my purposes), also pick up an adapter that’ll use the battery and give you AC power as well. Having an adapter that’ll power anything up to 150W has been a godsend.

I’ve also got a bunch of flashlights/lanterns that use the same batteries … super convenient if we lose power and it’s great when we go camping too.

I’ve got a “battery charging station” that’s just a plastic shelf, when you come in from the garage and it’s got the Ryobi batteries charging, but also our USB charging packs, rechargable AA/AAA/etc… batteries, and it’s also where we keep a lot of the tools so it makes it easy to find things in an emergency.

-=-=-=- If your house has a sump pump but no battery backup (and I’d actually recommend the ones that are FULL replacements … so, you’ll basically have two pumps in the sump, one of which is connected to the battery system), I’d definitely recommend you getting one before you need it.

-=-=-=- For myself, my AC unit has two capacitors. One burned up the first weekend we were in the house and one burned out a couple of years later.

The first one, I didn’t know anything at the time and it cost a bit more than $600 (we thought we were getting screwed [and we were], but, it was 110deg F with fans running, so, we weren’t in a position to argue and the tech knew it). It’s a $20 part if you just buy it online and many times it will physically deform when it breaks, so even with no knowledge you might even have a physical indication that it’s broken. Go to your AC unit, give it a thorough cleaning (youtube the process) and then look up what capacitors your unit uses and buy a spare set and watch a quick video on how to replace them … super easy. It’s likely you’ll pay < $40 for however many you need and you won’t have to deal with a massive bill for a $20 part that you’ve just got to match up the ports and then move the blade terminals from one to the other AND you won’t have to deal with a hot house while you wait for a replacement since you’ll already have one and you’ll just have to buy a replacement for your spare, but, even if that takes a month to ship, it won’t be a worry.

-=-=-=- A GOOD tape measurer. I’ve got a great Milwaukee one that has a magnet on the tip and it also holds without bending for a decent distance and it’s been glorious … always sucks when you’re trying to measure something and the tape is just flopping around not able to hold its shape.

-=-=-=- There are a lot of studfinders out there, but I’ve found the ones that work the best basically just have a magnet that finds the nails/screws that are holding the drywall on. Once you’ve found a nail, you’ve found the stud.

Absolutely! That’s probably the best compromise to make it easier without risking something breaking or not working as expected

Maybe, but there is always the possibility that Downloads and downloads both exist in that path and in a case sensitive file system, those are going to be two completely different directories, so adding that obfuscation on top might wind up biting you later.

They’ve got a novella in the same universe too!

I just followed their instructions and on 2 of the nodes in my cluster, I migrated all VMs/LXCs off and then did the upgrade and they went through without a hitch. For the last one, I just YOLO’d it and powered off the VMs/LXCs and upgraded it and it also went through without a hitch.

One thing I did find interesting was the systemd-boot packages needed to be removed and were on 2/3 of the machines. I basically intentionally keep their config as close to identical as possible, so I have no clue why it was only needed on 2 of them.
