The world is a big place
  • Insurmountable.

  • Hear something, say something
  • This one's my go-to.

  • Would you drink it?
  • I prefer wholly water.

  • An 11-Year-Old Denied Making a Threat and Was Allowed to Return to School. Tennessee Police Arrested Him Anyway.
  • Prison slavery is actually now unconstitutional in the state, as of TN's last election.

  • Can anyone help decide what to upgrade?
  • Option 1. AMD is gonna help you upgrade in the future. Their AM5 CPU socket will be upgradeable for a few generations of processors (Intel makes a new socket for each generation).

    Currently, your processor and single stick of RAM (single channel is half the performance of dual channel) are slowing you down. Your graphics card is also getting old, but if you keep your settings reasonably low, it'll still work fine. I would make that your next upgrade.

  • Larry Hogan Approved Millions for His Firm's Listed Clients as Governor
  • It's technically not newsworthy, due to how commonly the "R" accompanies elected criminals.

  • SMTP provider
  • I don't know what you mean by "ethical", but I use Sendgrid. They have a free tier that can send up to 100 emails a day.

  • Plex; Introducing Plex Photos Beta
  • Certain subtitle formats cannot be directly streamed, so your server is probably re-encoding video on the fly to burn in the subtitles. PGS format is actually a series of images and will always require re-encoding video. Picking SRT should work with device direct streaming.

  • ........................
  • I read this in a Wisconsin accent. Specifically Charlie Berens' voice.

  • Why I still self host my servers (and what I've recently learned)
  • Highly recommend. I moved my web hosting from my home server to a CPX11 server for better uptime (my tinkering around in the homelab was always bringing things down) and couldn't be happier. It's dirt cheap (cheaper than shared web hosting, even), performant (performance is better than shared web hosting) and reliable. With a 20TB bandwidth limit at the lowest tier, I can reverse proxy for most of my homelab, too.

  • I'm not big on this new 'pants' trend.
  • Birds still haven't figured out pants. Bunch of naked musicians, those birds.

  • vote.gov to check your registration and get your mail-in ballot
  • Holy ADHD, Batman! I sincerely hope you make it all the way to the voting booth and finish submitting a ballot without getting sidetracked in a flea market or something on election day! 😂

    I like the physical contest idea, though. It'll keep candidates younger and campaigns much more interesting.

  • YSK Americans, check to see if you can vote. Its real quick.
  • It's riper, smoked jalapeno, so a bit hotter, but not by an order of magnitude.

  • YSK Americans, check to see if you can vote. Its real quick.
  • Popping corn, coconut oil, salt, cumin, garlic powder, and chipotle powder.
