I agree with this, though I think a lot of people don’t differentiate between operating system containers like LXC provides and application containers like docker provides.

Just 3.3 cents per day seems pretty reasonable

To be fair the post was 2 days old when you posted

Obligatory if you install HA on a raspberry Pi. Use the SSD option as you will wear out an SD card or usb key pretty quickly since those devices aren’t intended for constant writes from things like logging and generally don’t have any wear out leveling.

That’s a neat feature. I will request that gets added to sync.

At home I have 4 screens, 3 in a row and one over top of the center.

The bottom ones change based on what I am doing. Games, browser, IDEs, consoles, terminal windows, etc.

The top is always a better in the left 2/3rd mostly playing music or videos. The right third is Element/Matrix which bridges in all my other chats (FB, WhatsApp, signal, telegram, Discord, gmessages, etc) so I can see them in one tidy spot.

At work I have 8 screens 6 in a 2 tall by 3 wide config, a big one on the side, and another touch screen on the other side. Which is all used for control and monitoring… And often feels like not enough when things get busy.

Whenever this happens, I just think about the song that never ends, it goes on and on my friends. Some people started singing it not knowing what it was, and they’ll continue singing it forever just because…

1000/1000 @ $C 75

I have 3 different first party fiber ISPs available to me at home with a max speed available of 8000/8000

Which is weird because I’m not in a city and live in a small town of less than 20k people

Yep, vote however you want, I don’t care, just go and vote.

So it doesn’t affect me at all but may I ask why you wouldn’t decide to vote for an independent, or the republican party.

Really you should vote for whomever most closely aligns with your governing preferences. Ultimately if you dislike the platform of every party, then it should be a decision about which most closely aligns with what you’re looking for.

If you were deciding what to eat it doesn’t really matter if you don’t like the options, eventually you have to choose something or someone else will choose for you.

Again I’m not endorsing any party or platform, I don’t care about how you choose to cast your vote. I just think that everyone should vote, even if it doesn’t align with my preferences or voting choices, which again I’m not saying I endorse any party specifically.

The public selects the representation every few years, the public votes them out that’s a form of being held accountable. If people ignore their right to vote then that can let people abuse their positions or cause people to pander only to people who actually vote since those are the people keeping them in. D

Respectfully, I think you’re misunderstanding my comments. It’s anyone’s right to hate how or who anyone else voted for. But not voting at all and getting upset with the outcome is your own fault.

Any person should be encouraging every other person that they know to exercise their right to select an official. Ignoring that right because you feel it’s futile or because your super sure what you want will happen is a breakdown in democracy.

I don’t really care who or how anyone votes but they all should be doing it.

Regardless of how you feel about the candidates the important thing is to actually vote. Going around and saying “well they both suck” doesn’t help anyone.

Not voting then getting the greater of two evils from your perspective is your own fault.

Always vote, even if the news or anyone else tells you the candidate you want is a sure thing, vote even if the candidate you don’t want seems like a shoe-in.

This is exactly my sentient.

Canada mid 30s. A car is essentially required outside of a major city but after my first two cars were manual the incredible inconvenience of crawling traffic got to me and my current car is an automatic.

I found I had to constantly hug the car in front which meant always feathering the clutch, if I didn’t and the gap grew just large enough for a car to fit someone always jumped lanes into the gap.

On Android I just started using kiwi browser a month or two ago it’s for android only but it’s chromium based and supports extensions which brings ublock and others to mobile.

I don’t know how slow the old one was, but if I send myself an SMS using the bridge it completes a round trip to the Telco and back in about 1 second

Have you tried the new SMS bridge that relies on gmessages?

https://github.com/mautrix/gmessages

If you have an Android phone you can use the Google SMS app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.messaging

Then you pair the app and bridge. It’s been pretty reliable since I started using this bridge, especially when compared to the previous bridge options.

Is there a reason you couldn’t use either use a self hosted or the public hosted copy of element or an Android/iOS app and connect it directly to the beeper synapse/dendrite server?

Their clients are just closed forks of element anyways.

To be fair, the client they provide to make bridging more accessible is proprietary, however you can fire up a fresh copy of element and connect it if you want and just use the text interface.

The clients are closed so that they have something to sell and profit. Not everyone can afford to give their time away for free.

I have my own matrix server that I primarily use like beeper and bridge all my chats together. Even using some of their bridges, it’s been pretty reliable for years.

I know that a few people are hating on the closed source client, but that feels unfair to me. They provide lots of open code in the form of bridges which is really the meat of the offering. Their client just makes using the bridges easier for the lay person. The bridges are super easy to use without it, invite the bridge bot to a chat room, type login and do what it says, then type login-matrix and your pretty much done.

The I suspect that the same people who are displeased about the closed client also like using tailscale which is generally pretty popular but has closed source clients on Windows and Mac as well as the server (though all support the open source headscale server)
