  • Same.

    Perfect solution to feeling like life has no worth except making profits for billionaires is obviously to forcibly lock them up in a hospital for a week and stick them with a $20k bill. That'll fix all that depression. /s

  • Emotional Support Vehicles
  • Definitely dangerous. May not explode, sure,

    but could displace enough oxygen to cause hypoxia.

    Could vent fast enough to cause dangerous overpressure.

    Could slide out of the seatbelts not meant to hold that shape and become a wrecking ball in an accident.

    Yes it's dangerous, no it won't kill you most times you do it.

  • Majority of voters say threat of political violence will increase if Trump is elected
  • If he loses at least he won't be the dictator of the us. And it's much harder to have your political rivals (people who disagree with your decisions) jailed and or killed if you aren't a dictator or in official power.

  • These Alabama Workers Were Swamped by Medical Debt. Then Their Employer Stepped In.
  • I love and hate this.

    All it takes is for the guy running the business the "old school way" to die and pass this on to his children. Then it's a crap shoot whether the kids want profit, or want to run it the same way.

    Want profit and they'll start upping the rates, matching the "market" and maybe even beating it because the employees are stuck in the system and can be bled dry.

  • The dark arts
  • Along with the fact that any more when you HAVE to call, it's going to be dealing with a bullshit auto answering system that leads you in circles and intentionally misunderstands you.

  • US Postal Service electric trucks are finally here and drivers love them
  • It's cheaper to put a light roof on a car, buy the same area of solar cells, set them up to charge a battery, and charge the car off that battery, than it is to buy a custom, toughened, solar cell the area of the roof.

    Plus, you don't have to haul around the extra weight at the worst location for weight in a vehicle.

  • Rustdesk not connecting externally

    So, I'm trying to setup self hosted rustdesk. I have it running in a docker container. I have allowed the ports through the firewall. I have setup the same ports forwarded in my router, to the server running rustdesk. I have set the private key on both clients.

    on systems internal network, I can setup the clients to connect with internal IP. And get the "ready" at the bottom. But key mismatch error when trying to actually connect between two internal systems.

    If I setup the client with my external up (and I've tried domain name as well) I get a delay then, "not ready please check your connection", as well as the key mismatch.

    I feel I'm running into two different problems, but I can't find any hints looking through the container logs (in fact, once the containers are running, I don't really get any logs populating when trying to connect a client)

    Any suggestions? I'm at a loss here.

    AI is like a hammer

    Any tool can be a hammer if you use it wrong enough.

    A good hammer is designed to be a hammer and only used like a hammer.

    If you have a fancy new hammer, everything looks like a nail.

    remote assistance software suggestions

    I've been using RealVNC for family computer help and have been wanting to setup a self hosted replaced for a while now, but haven't had the time. RealVNC has recently axed their free levels, so I'll use it as a reason to setup a self hosted solution.

    Ideally it would be something like a web page (I have a domain and reverse proxy) where family can go, get a code or a software to run, which will then let me control their system securely.

    I was considering guacamole on a pi at each location I'm likely to have to support, but this doesn't help when family is away from their home network on laptop.

    What is out there for this? Have you used it? What are your experiences?

    Thanks

    Suggestions on bootcamps?

    I've been playing around with Arduino and esp for ~10yrs, just googling, copying around code snippets, and reading compiler fail logs.

    I'm fed up with my lack of ability to understand larger projects and more in depth programming (pointers, objects, etc)

    I'm mostly focused on embedded software (iot, iiot, etc.) So probably looking at staying with C,C++ or rust?

    I'm fine with investing some $$, but don't particularly feel I want to spend more that $1k at the moment to fix my ignorance.

    What bootcamps would you suggest?
