Should one give money directly to homeless people?
  • There's a lot about direct giving here, but consider donating to local shelters instead. Especially in the winter. The more they have for supporting bus fare in and out of town or food, being sheltered is a good thing. And the local shelter has very little overhead compared to charities.

  • The Onion's Takeover of Alex Jones' Infowars Frozen Until Hearing
  • Here's hoping, from the original case:

    A federal bankruptcy judge in Houston ordered new personnel to oversee the bankruptcy of Alex Jones’s Infowars late on Tuesday, citing an ongoing lack of transparency, including over Mr. Jones’s lavish personal spending.

    Judge Christopher Lopez dismissed Mr. Jones’s attorney and chief restructuring officer in the bankruptcy of Free Speech Systems, Infowars’ parent company, and expanded the duties of a Department of Justice-appointed trustee already monitoring the case. The judge authorized the trustee to hire additional legal and other help, specifying that any new hires must have “no connection to any of these cases,” he said, citing a need to investigate “insider relationships.”

    “There has to be greater transparency in this case,” Judge Lopez said during the hearing on Tuesday, pointing to concerns with spending and other disclosures on the part of the company, which is run by Mr. Jones. “Without transparency, people lose faith in the process,” he added, referring to the federal bankruptcy system.

    Hi all,

    How would I go about identifying why all these 400 (and some 499) errors are popping up in my server's logs?

    element.io Element Starter: open source meets on-premise collaboration

    We are proud to introduce Element Starter: a brand new offering designed to provide IT administrators with a free, self-hosted, and user-friendly on-ramp to the world of secure communications and digital sovereignty.

    Element Starter: open source meets on-premise collaboration

    After trying to understand if Synapse was still the preferred community method for Matrix after the post on Element X/ESS, I thought I'd share this.

    > Element Starter is a game-changer, offering a free (as in beer) self-hosted version of Element Server Suite. It is a lightweight version of the officially supported Kubernetes-based components found in our paid packages (Business, Enterprise and Sovereign) - the very same stack used to power the biggest Matrix homeservers in the world; built by the team who created Matrix.

    > Element Starter is designed to allow anyone in the world (who doesn’t need to start with our powerful paid-for enterprise features) to adopt Element Server Suite for free. This option gives them all the real-time communication functionality they expect from a leading messaging and collaboration app with the added benefit of self-hosting to ensure data ownership and control, while building on a wrought-iron foundation which is futureproofed for commercial support and features on demand.

    Really surprised I can't located migration methods anywhere, though. And that all the Element X app repos are still labeled pre-release but the blog says they are production ready.

    Edit: This does require sign in and terms of use agreements, so I'll be sticking to my Synapse docker container for now.

    Google Maps search history without "Web & App Activity"?

    Q: Is it still possible to have "Web & App Activity" turned off, but also have history of previously searched places in Google Maps?

    This was possible until recently (Pixel 8), and came back this week for a few days, but now my history is empty again with a button trying to get me to turn on privacy cancer.

    (Yes I use OSMAnd and Organic Maps when I can already.)

    Uncoated aluminum boiler with brass group head corrosion risk?

    Hi all,

    I've got an uncoated aluminum boiler to replace the flaking one in my Gaggia Classic Pro Evo. Given that aluminum boiler coupled with the brass group head will cause galvanic corrosion, what are my options?

    I know I can wait for companies to get chrome plated group heads in stock, but I hear the new (since April) GCP Evos are using the brass group head and the uncoated boiler. How are they pulling that off?

    Thanks.

    YSK there are more than 3 US credit bureaus

    Why YSK: Locking your credit with the main 3 places is not enough.

    https://innovis.com/ have grown enough to require locking as providers are using them as a single check source.

    There's also https://www.chexsystems.com/ which many banks use for opening checking accounts. They're unique because they handle accounts that don't show up in a credit report.
