Wait, when did the action happen??

Lots of hotels tack on “amenity fees” or “resort fees” separate from those. It’s pretty obnoxious, especially since they don’t show them to you til you’re halfway through booking.
Oh my God, it never occurred to me that money exchanged hands for that song. I just thought it was a cute little pop culture reference. How do we know it’s not though? In any case, I bet this is the song OP is referring to.
Unlike Twitter, Mastodon seems to rely much more on stable hashtags for discovery. That’s probably because there’s no “the algorithm” like on Twitter. So with Mastodon you very well can subscribe to hashtags and expect them to get reused over time.
A used Pixel can be had in that range.
I will humbly submit that perhaps you are watching the wrong films.
Also… and here’s the fun part… aluminum cans are lined with plastic.

That’ll happen just as soon as the corporations don’t also pull the strings of the government. :D
That sounds like a good approach. Now to get the Big Guys to do it…
I don’t think we necessarily need to replace email (even though it’s largely built on a mishmash of ancient tech held together by twine and bailing wire). I just think that in order to not have astronomically big corporations control it, we might have to building something new. The corporations aren’t going to willingly relinquish control of email, but they won’t (at the outset) control something that’s designed to replace it.
If you have a better suggestion, I’m all ears!
It’s really a sad state of affairs, and it just goes to show how important true federation is. Maybe someday something federated will come in to replace email, and we’ll get another shot. I haven’t given up on email though… I’m just super cynical about it.
Same here, although it’s only like 90% of my posts. I figured it must be on my end, but I guess not.
I think you’re right about the ease of spinning up a cloud server, but I respectfully disagree on the rest of it—and it’s for one simple reason: IP address reputation management. Spinning up a server such that the Big Guys will actually trust it and willingly receive mail from it is not a trivial thing to do in 2023. I’ve been running mail servers for years and I think there are still blacklists I’m on.
Except email is hugely centralized now (with Google and Microsoft) even though it’s technically a federated protocol. So there’s a huge barrier to entry to spin up your own federated server if you want to actually send/receive any mail with it… I think the lesson here is that we need to be constantly vigilant about potential centralization in the Lemmybin Fediverse as well.
Cool, thanks for the details. Avoiding both a cloud dependency and an HA dependency to switch lights on/off makes sense.
Checking those out now. Thank you!
Passing through a USB device might be as easy as adding --device /dev/your/usb/device
to your docker run
command-line, first making sure the permissions on that device are such that they can be read by the container. (Or use the devices:
equivalent if you’re using Compose.)
Awesome, thanks for the tip… Those look great. I have neutral, so that shouldn’t be a problem.
There are companies you can pay to physically shred your disk drives. You have to be able to trust them of course for this to work.
Or if you want to DIY, you can drill or smash your drives. Just wear eye protection, etc. Making the drives inoperative like this is the only thing I’d trust, but you can also software-wipe them first.
