“minimal abstinence outside of hospital”. That means she was still drinking.


The only genuine hint to the real reason of the refusal was “minimal abstinence outside of hospital”.

Let me ask you bud, if you needed a liver transplant to continue living, would you have even one drink per week, or would you just quit completely?

Very biased article.

Plus, regardless of her husband being compatible, it still costs the state tens of thousands for the operation. In no way would it be ethical to put a new liver in someone who refuses to completely abstain from alcohol.


What, shove the ballots up your bottom and name a random person as president?


I think we both understand the intention behind my statement


Do you honestly encrypt your porn? Why? (Assuming it’s legal)


Yes, they really do. There’s nothing that business types love more than smelling their own bad ideas and thinking it’s genius.

You can be sure that a CEO on $10 million thinks regular people would think nothing of subscribing to ten different services because he does personally, so what’s the big deal?


I’m not in IT but used to work with a very old terminal based data storage and retrieval system.

If the original programmers had implemented a particular feature, it was very easy to enter a command and have it spit out the relevant info.

But as times changed, the product outgrew its original boundaries, and on a regular basis clients would ask for specific info that would require printing out decades worth of data before searching and editing it to get what the client wanted.

I can not tell you how many times I heard the phrase, “Can’t you just push a button or something and get the information now??”

The thing that infuriated me the most was the idea that somehow we could do that, but didn’t want to, as if there was some secret button under the desk that we could push for our favourite clients. Ugh.


I’m not in IT and had no prior experience.

I bought a used Dell Optiplex for cheap and used installation guides provided on the websites of the services I wanted to install (pihole, jellyfin, home assistant etc)

This is by far the easiest method to get started. Learn by doing.

Make all your services LAN only to start; don’t open anything up to be accessed outside your home network until you know a bit more, as making it secure requires a bit more time and knowledge.

Hot tip: use chat gpt to help you. If something doesnt work, feed the error messages to it and it will explain why and give you the commands to fix them.


Odoo might have bits you want/need. Linux based.


I use Mullvad with great success, give that a try. It has advanced configuration options baked in. Has GUI and CLI interfaces, and a dead mans switch for dropouts.


Use chatgpt to create a Python program that runs ffmpeg with your desired settings, and retains the folder structure. Important: use chatgpt 4, not 3



What’s a “hacker mindset” and why do you need one to use this app?

Update: The homepage explains “hacker mindset” by linking to the wiki article for hacker lol



Upvoted for the pic. Did you draw that? Looks cool :)


If I don’t hear that sweet 8 bit techno house blaring out of the PC speaker, then I start to worry


Simple. Buy an older car and spend the extra money maintaining it. Reducing demand is the only language consumers have that businesses understand.

It doesn’t have to be ancient; even 5-10 year old cars don’t have this bullshit.



Whenever I’ve gone too far forwards


Also, online discussion is not evidence. To wit:

I murdered seven people before breakfast today. I love murdering so much!

Even confessions are not necessarily airtight. For example:

I shot JFK.

Police, when you get here, please knock; the doorbell’s broken.




People will call you what you act like.

So you’re gonna pretend you didnt reply to my other comment where I mentioned that Linux has steam and supports 98% of AAA titles so you can play the victim now?

Being too ignorant to figure out how to set up Minecraft and giving up after 2 minutes doesn’t back up ypur shit talking about Linux.




You need to change your username; you’re not debatable, you can’t even write a coherent sentence.

Linux has steam and supports 98% of AAA game titles.



Well you can buy a car but the gov’t will still make you drive on the correct side of the road.


Counterpoint: spicy pillows

I was going to host pihole on an old android until I noticed it getting quite warm while continuously connected to power. Realised I didn’t know the lifespan of the battery and didn’t want it tp start a fire.


Its so exhausting having to train chat gpt to be condescending and to close all my threads as duplicates though
