We’ve had socialism with American characteristics for about 45y at this point. We socialize the losses and privatize the gains.

Second, we already had Hoover. Trump’s policies are basically a rerun of an economic approach we proved doesn’t work 100y ago.

Old thin clients and mini PCs are great for this. Many either have a half sized PCIe slot or can take a second network interface using the WiFi m.2 slot and a 3d printed bracket to mount the nic port.

You’re best off splitting the routing and WiFi tasks into separate hardware. Buy yourself a used ruckus unleashed r550/650 or r510/610 depending on how much you want to spend for wifi then run routing on whatever hardware is fit for purpose. I usually slap OPNsense on something like a dell/wyse 5070 j5005 mini PC, any mini PC with a PCIe slot will allow you to build a 1/2.5/10GbE router with open software. Chinese N100 router boxes are cheap now too, or you could reuse an old mini PC of some kind.

I don’t like rolling my own router using arm boards anymore, router distro support for them is unreliable and j5005 pulls <10W anyway.

+1, I absolutely loathe the twitter model of discussion because it’s a huge mess of out of order replies and random spam. Individual discussion posts with tree threaded comments are way, way, way more effective at keeping discussion relevant and directed. Also +1 re: moderation, social media functions best with effective, vigorous, moderation and the twitter model just sucks there.

When you’re coming from a position of extreme privilege and you’re either a bit stupid or lack empathy or general social awareness being treated equally with “lesser people” (like women, brown people or people from particular religious backgrounds) can seem an awful lot like you’re being discriminated against.

I’ve known a couple of people who had really bad reactions to Wellbutrin after brand switches. Both of them found it necessary to get a medical necessity exemption so they could get branded prescriptions. There’s more variability in a lot of these drugs across mfgr’s than people are aware of and you should talk to your Dr about switching to another brand or manufacturer if you’re having an adverse reaction.

Not as badly as you’d expect, modern compression is pretty quick using the lz*'s and you’re only expending cycles when you’re hitting swap

We joke but zram swap works wonders on low resource systems sometimes

In the US a sizable chunk of the population watched those anti littering campaigns and said “you’re not the boss of me!” then made it a point to litter more. You tell an American what to do and you’ve got a 50/50 chance that they’ll do the opposite purely out of spite, even if they otherwise agree with you.

If this admin can wreck govt funded services and replace them with billionaire owned private businesses they will. The entire goal of their govt slashing approach is to privatize as many necessary public services as possible so they can be captured for maximum profit instead of run as low cost, necessary, public services. Expect basic research to be privatized, mail and package service, the majority of hospital services, etc. If a billionaire wants a long term income stream from a necessary public service this admin will attempt to hand it to them.

This is the same guy that’s using his teenage son as a blood donor too though right? That’s the part I’m not okay with.

None of them. You don’t have Russian blues in this image, hands down they’re some of the best cats.

I mean, I’m fine with them pushing this misinformation. That’s just fewer of their audience who survive cancer and go vote.

Lilac is an AMD dev platform, it’s used to do early development before you have the real platform in hand to work with. It’s been spotted in the wild running 7700 HS, 8500 U and Zen3 embedded <55W SoCs - there’s no way to extrapolate new steam hardware performance info from this reliably.

I’ve had the idea for a while to use an LLM to gather metadata about books for me as well as generate tag lists for themes, plot, writing style, etc for everything in my ebook library. You could also generate non spoiler plot summaries and produce recommendations for similar books.
