Trump’s appointments tipped the balance. They didn’t “decide” as much as been taken over. It’s a part of the judicial system gone rogue and Congress is supposed to reign it back in.

I would uninstall the screensaver so fast if I saw a nag screen. Wtf it’s a screensaver, what does it matter? I’ll use a version that’s 50 years old if I want to.

Alright, have fun with that. 🙂

If you mean to do that in the public DNS records please note that public records that point at private IPs are often filtered by ISP’s DNS servers because they can be used in web attacks.

If you don’t use your ISP’s DNS as upstream, and the servers you use don’t do this filtering, and you don’t care about the attacks, carry on. But if you use multiple devices or have multiple users (with multiple devices each) eventually that domain will be blocked for some of them.

Generally speaking, a subdomain like jellyfin.myhome.com will work out much better than a subpath like myhome.com/jellyfin.

Very few web apps can deal well (or at all) with being used under a subpath.

optical media doesn’t last that long (5-10 years) and is easily damaged

I beg to differ. I’ve been backing things up to optical for 25 years now with minimal issues. CDs could be easily scratched but it hasn’t been the case for DVD and BR.

M-DISK uses in-organic substances that make the discs mostly immune to exposure but it’s a more recent invention. Proper storage and handling still goes a long way towards protecting discs even if they’re not in-organic.

I really don’t see the issue. If the work account uses Google or Microsoft I use their respective web apps and export an ICS link to see the blocked slots in my own personal calendar.

For my own personal calendar I use CalDAV, which is widely supported, and an app that can import ICS links. (Self-hosted Radicale server and the Calengoo app for mobile and desktop, for the curious.)

I can’t give specifics because it will depend on the version you play and also it’s been a while and I don’t remember all mods by heart. So it’s just gonna be suggestions; in no particular order:

• First of all you’ll need the fundamental bug fixes. There’s (still) lots of bugs in vanilla Skyrim.
• You will need the new improved menus, most mods rely on them.
• Personally I can’t play without improving the aspect of PC and NPCs, so improvements to bodies, faces and hair are a must for me. If you get down the rabbit hole there’s things like mustaches, beards, tattoos, eyes etc.
• Armor and weapons is a close second for good looking stuff.
• You will want a mod that improves polygons as well as something that enhances vegetation, skyboxes, water and weather.
• There are mods that fill the cities and villages with a lot more… stuff. Things like decorative vegetation, benches etc. You will not be able to play without it once you’ve tried it.
• The skill trees and the professions all need specific mods that apply balances and fixes. You can also go one step further and apply mods that actually make them interesting.
• If you can find one for your version of Skyrim, I strongly recommend a mod that improves dragon AI and makes the fights actually challenging. It always seemed ridiculous to me how easy they are by default.
• Better horses is a good idea, lots of convenience there.
• Smithing improvements. Nuff said.
• Personally I can’t stand the default fighting in all aspects of it. I must have didn’t roll and some extra brains for the enemies. Some mods the spruce up the dungeons aren’t bad either.
• You can get lots of extra quests and NPCs with Interesting NPCs.
• I typically avoid shaders and ENBs in favor of simpler mods that let you adjust the game colors (contrast, saturation etc.) They have very low impact on performance and give you that color jolt that’s 90% of why people use ENBs anyway.

On an even more personal note, I like to play like a classic RPG. I get mods that allow multiple companions and interesting NPCs and when I met somebody interesting I take them into my party. There are also mods that let you order them better, you can adjust their flags to set what armor and weapons they prefer, how they level up, and whether they have “plot armor” so they can die for reals. I usually end the game with a party of 4-6 people and it’s a blast. But you may want to adjust the difficulty accordingly as you go out you will start rolling everything.

Another very interesting approach I’ve tried a couple of times is mods that remove all identification clues (no town names, no directions, maximum map fog of war) and start you in some random point of the map. Add some difficulty mods so you have to be really careful who you meet, perhaps some survival mods, and it’s a real blast. You can also use rogue rules and restart when you die (and not save scum).

A good overview of the circumstances of the recent Chevron decision.

Please note the final paragraph. Koch’s goal is exactly this: bringing cases in front of the Supreme Court that, if won, would cause grave disturbances.

They’re a very common form of personal backup. A few discs and an USB writer and you get a very long lasting medium for passwords, personal files, family photos etc.

Can also archive multimedia of course, the smallest discs are 25 GB and can pack a few films, a season of a series, or a lot of music.

• What does “authentication” mean if there’s no server?
• How do browsers behind NAT connect to each other?
• How does it verify that the other chat partner is who they say they are?
• Why use this and not Simplex?

But nobody uses /dev/sdX anymore (not after they wipe the wrong disk once anyway). They either use logical UUIDs or hardware WWN/serial.

If you were 100% specific you would be effectively writing the code yourself. But you don’t want that, so you’re not 100% specific, so it makes up the difference. The result will include an unspecified percentage of code that does not fit what you wanted.

It’s like code Yahtzee, you keep re-rolling this dice and that dice but never quite manage to get the exact combination you need.

There’s an old saying about computers, they don’t do what you want them to do, they do what you tell them to do. They can’t do what you don’t tell them to do.

Oh, God, he’s trying to use pointers again. He can never get them right. And they say I’m supposed to chase my tail…

SO gives you very specific, small examples. GenAI will happily generate entire projects, test suites etc. It’s much easier to get caught into the fantasy that the latter creates.

I wonder if it works with a joystick…

I won’t believe until I see it. They can still pull out at the last moment. There’s just no way Trump comes out looking good.

Contact support and tell them how many you need and they’ll try to accommodate you. There were a lot of people abusing the service and hosting hundreds of domains so now they’re making everybody request them explicitly unfortunately. They’ve also had to suspend their .dedyn.io DDNS service indefinitely because of the abuse.

That’s why we can’t have nice things.

Please read up on DNSSEC because you will be required to turn it on for every domain you host with them.

I’m not seeing bunny.net on that list, it has a DNS service with API. They have a minimum account maintenance fee of $1/mo and when you load up your account you have to load a minimum of $10. So basically it’s $1/mo for which you get a lot of DNS and CDN service included (20M DNS queries and 100GB transfer).
