I’ve done FOIA requests before and they are a headache. I think I’m going to reach out to the Washington Post and see if they have someone who can look into it.

It bothers me that no one followed up. Typically this is a Washington Post story in the Sunday section.

I may send them an email.

Yeah, though if any asshole was going to buck tradition, it was going to be Trump.

They are considered official documents so they are subject to FOIA requests. Presidents often release them as a way to show the transition of power. And since Trump refused to even attend the swearing in ceremony…

I think it should be whatever the age is to be able to work a job.

You pay taxes at 14 years old because your asshole of a governor got paid by the meat packing industry? You get to vote.

Their convoluted salary and options package was one of the driving reasons why I declined a job there.

If they ban Firefox or make it more difficult to watch videos with Firefox, I fully expect state AGs to bring antitrust proceedings.

Ooh I know exactly the video. The one with the blue sheet.

I agree with this. Self-hosting requires the user to understand their network, their software, how it all interacts.

If you provide a hardware product and call it a solution, people are going to expect a turn-key solution like a plug-and-play router.

You’re going to end up supporting a bunch of newbies who, by no fault of their own, can’t tell you an error code in the console let alone whatever UI you give them.

I think a better solution would be a course that walks newbies through self hosting.

Creative Commons-BY-NC would be better.

I really don’t know the architecture of fmovies but my guess is that it works similarly to sudo-lol but with specific providers instead of a long list of available providers.

Even still, I’ve wondered how those providers load new content since I’ve never seen a way for end users to upload new files.

Shows like Last Week Tonight get uploaded almost the same day.

Anyway, to answer your question, I think fmovies is back with their .lol tld though I’ve moved over to sudo.

There’s always going to be a replacement because clearly there’s a market for it. If only the people who actually hold the rights would realize that.

Exactly. This shouldn’t be used to store your taxes, for example. But it might be good if you want to post details about your baby shower without your parents getting the details.

I’m just waiting for Musk to sue all people on earth for either not having an account or for abandoning their account on Twitter.

Have you tried listening to them at 1.5 or 2x speed?

Much easier to listen to.

Okay. Second question: where are you going to keep 24 liters of cat litter? Granted I’m no expert in communist units (and I’m way too fucking tired to look it up) but I imagine that’s a lot, both in terms of volume and weight.

It looks like the fundraiser is closed.

I’ll admit I kind of typed this without thinking it through. In a secured site, the password would be hashed and salted before storing in the database.

Depending on where you’re doing the hashing, long strings might still slow you down. That being said, from a security standpoint, any gain in entropy by adding characters would be negligible past a certain point. I don’t remember what that number is but it certainly isn’t in the thousands.

I sort of get it. You don’t want to allow the entire work of Shakespeare in the text field, even if your database can handle it.

16 characters is too low. I’d say a good upper limit would be 100, maybe 255 if you’re feeling generous.

“Am I getting my value out of this subscription?”

If you want to pay for GamePass, Amazon Prime, Paramount, Peacock, Hulu, etc. then by all means do so.

But each renewal, you need to ask yourself, “Am I getting the value out of this subscription to warrant the price?”

Amazon Prime was a no starting two years ago.

Spotify premium was never valuable to me.

I do have a YNAB subscription but this is slowly moving towards a no as well.

I have Google One for drive/Gmail space but that’s about it.

I believe that there is a project that aims to do just this but I can’t remember its name.

I don’t think I explained it well.

I shop at 4, maybe 5, different grocery stores. Some products I have preferences whereas others I don’t.

For example, say this is my grocery list for the week:

• grapes (never buy at Walmart)
• composition notebook
• ground turkey (only buy at Wegmans, unless there’s a sale)
• oat milk
• chocolate chips
• eggs

I want an AI to scrape every grocery store’s weekly ad or their website along with any coupons that are available, and determine the best price and, based on patterns of sales, what I should wait on and what time of day I should shop.
