Prune up those bottoms. Anything not getting direct light.

I hadn’t looked at FOSS image album software in awhile, but I recently installed Immich on my home Yunohost server. I am very happy with it so far. It is miles better than Nextcloud photos, and I’m honestly blown away by how well the facial recognition works. I’m also enjoying the “x years ago today” highlighting feature, after seeing proprietary platforms have that for so long.

Get active. The absolute worst thing you can do is “nothing”. You will feel so much better getting out there and doing good work with your neighbors. Looking for local mutual aid orgs in your area is a good start. If you can’t find any, start one yourself! Another commenter here goes into greater detail, but you can start very small! Or arrange some meetups around skill-sharing. You probably have a useful skill or knowledge that others could benefit from, and I’m sure there’s things you’d like to learn as well. Doing things like this builds community bonds, and strengthens us all. Don’t wallow, get involved!

One day at a time. Every time you want a cigarette but don’t give in, you have built strength. Use that strength to better resist the next urge. Really internalize that what you are doing is strong and powerful. Each victory accumulates and supports those to come.

I don’t think you mean me specifically, but the only reason I’m awake right now is that I went to an impromptu meeting in a park with like 40 people to begin strategizing. We talked about how we felt, our goals, our needs and what we could offer. In the end, we started some new group chats around specific topics. It really fucking helps with anxiety and doomerism to talk with like minded folks and design actions for dealing with a world that is a bit more fucked up today than yesterday.

The thing about moral principles is that they are inflexible. Think about it like the draft during Vietnam. Some people refused to go fight because of moral principle. A common argument against them was “if you don’t go, someone else will go in your place”. Soldiers still go, and the immoral war continues whether you participate or not. I would not go to fight in an immoral war, and I will not politically support a genocide. I know it will happen anyway, but you cannot make me participate. I refuse.

Get organized. Nobody ever won their rights by voting, they won by getting together with their neighbors and coworkers and standing up to capital. Unions used to be a major political player in the US, but capital has almost completely destroyed them, with the help of the dems and the repubs. The working class has been hypnotized by trinkets into ceding all political power. We need to claw it back.

There’s a couple different aspects, and a variety of techniques. First part is to create a habit of something. Previous poster seems to be using a coin flip. For me, I like to make a habit of pinching my nose closed and trying to inhale through it. Obviously, this doesn’t work when you are awake, but will work if you are dreaming. It may take weeks of developing this habit (do it every time you think of it), before the habit makes it into your dream.

Realizing that you are dreaming may wake you up the first few times, but eventually, you will be able to stay asleep while aware you are dreaming: aka lucid dreaming.

The other part, aside from developing that habit, is prepping yourself before sleep. Again, you’ll find different techniques, but here’s the one I favor. Lay on your back in bed, eyes closed. Focus on your legs, for 10 breaths, then your arms for 10 breaths, then your sense of hearing for 10 breaths, then sight (eyes still closed) for 10 breaths, sense of touch for 10 breaths, etc. Keep cycling through until you fall asleep. This primes you to be “located” in your body once you fall asleep. If you’re lucky, you’ll perform your “habit”, realize you’re asleep, and have full control of your body! Good luck :)

Axis of evil.

Just disregard ‘votes’ entirely. What exactly are you hoping to achieve? Do you want “low-credibility” users highlighted in red so you don’t have to bother reading their comments? Have them hidden entirely? Seems like existing tools like blocking and banning already accomplish these goals.

Is this worse than funding a genocide? And has Biden not had 4 years to reverse this? To be very clear: Fuck Donald Trump. But why do you people act like he is all powerful, but your leadership isn’t responsible for anything?

“Actively supports it” is absolutely a description befitting the Biden/Harris administration, in regards to this genocide.

Look, opposing genocide is off the table, but we’ve got a bunch of republican endorsements and a fortnite map!

I haven’t read your post, but I set this up a few years ago after finding this post: https://golb.hplar.ch/2019/01/expose-server-vpn.html

Yeah, these are video files, and they’re missing random bits within the file. I was just thinking that with such small gaps it wouldn’t be too hard to extrapolate something close to the missing data, and just “make them playable” as you said.

I mean, is it that different from “upscaling” or “interpolation”?

Hell yeah! Two-somes are lit.

The neat part is that in most states, there isn’t a choice at all!

Look, I’m sorry, but eating fast food. Have some self respect.
