Why does Doug have to do anything? Donny is an autocrat, right? Can’t he just phone the American broadcaster airing the ads and demand they stop airing it.

Big Strong Men shouldn’t just go crying on their pet social network when another country is being mean. They should be Big enough and Strong enough to deal with it themselves.

Half my visits to Wikipedia are because I need to copy and paste a Unicode character and that’s always the highest search result with a page I can easily copy and paste the exact character from.

They have (had?) a fairly generous free tier that works well for people starting out.

I ended up buying a license after evaluation because the UI provides everything I reasonably want to do, it’s fundamentally a Linux server so I can change things I need, and it requires virtually zero fucking around to get started and keep running.

I guess the short answer is: it ticks a lot of boxes.

Deep down underneath it all I have the heart of a small boy. I keep it in a jar, on my desk.

I set up Syncthing using the docker image from the Unraid “store” and it works great.

I’m not in love with the clients (especially Windows) but it seems to work pretty well once your setup is stable.

White cables also transmit slower in the dark. As soon as the cabinet is closed the data is going to slow way down with only the dim glow of the LEDs of the equipment acting to accelerate packets.

Of course he can read a map. That’s how he knows how to correct inconvenient data with a Sharpie.

The thing I hate most about rsync is that I always fumble to get the right syntax and flags.

This is a problem because once it’s working I never have to touch it ever again because it just works and keeping working. There’s not enough time to memorize the usage.

They should try their luck in Afghanistan again.

“I said $127,075.31! If you try to fucking round up again I’m going to start shooting!”

There’s nothing less democratic than voting! Or something.

Absolutely nothing happened on June 4, 1989.

It was just an ordinary day.

In fact, it was so utterly banal, that we go out of our way not to talk about it because there’s absolutely nothing to say.

Isn’t that the reason Target is a fucking metronome on social issues?

Have the economy you voted for!

“You’d understand if you saw them. My family is awful,” Freeland added.

That’s how I’d answer if I set something up years ago and it was stable and never required me to come tinker with it.

I was running calibre-web and tried running it side by side with calibre-web-automated and it was an absolute breeze. It’s got some really nice features on top of the original. I’d highly recommend giving it a try - it was a surprisingly low bar to get running!

Not sure about comic support, but I think you can get much of that using a combo of Calibre and Calibre-web-automated.

Drop a large bowl of candy on their shore with a sign that says “one candy per child” and then come back the next day and count how many were taken.

I like browsing the repository at https://www.linuxserver.io/ from time to time. Since they only make docker images for popular projects, it’s a good way to see a more curated list of what people are using instead of getting lost in giant lists of open source projects.
