It’s kinda crazy that buying up that much land is cheaper than building parking garages.

100%. I feel like the broad fediverse community is not a fan of generative AI

It’s all a huge mess… Apple is complying with the RCS spec, but isn’t using Google’s proprietary encryption method because it’s proprietary. Google also won’t open the API on Android to allow for 3rd party RCS apps. So until Google decides to abandon their stronghold over the encryption standard and API access, RCS will continue to suck from a privacy standpoint.

That’s pretty funny! ���

NOVEMBER 5TH WILL BE ONE OF THE DAYS IN THE HISTORY OF AMERICA!

Low IQ: it’s not a straight line

Medium IQ: it’s a geodesic on a sphere, so it is a straight line

In the US, anytime there is a crash, near miss, or other safety-related issue, the NTSB launches an investigation to determine the cause and ways to mitigate the issue from happening again. They also do this for certain highway accidents. These investigation leads to new rules and procedures that have saved countless lives and is integral to why air travel is as safe as it is today.

I would love to see the NTSB do more investigations into local traffic collisions, or at least delegate to state or local government bodies. I would love for those findings to dictate rules and regulations for safer road design. At this point, the prevalence of terrible road safety is a systemic issue that can and should be addressed by improved road design.

Oh, it’s possible. So much so that they made a TV show out of it.

It’ll be rewritten in mdBook

Correct me if I’m wrong, but it’s not enough to delete the files in the commit, unless you’re ok with Git tracking the large amount of data that was previously committed. Your git clones will be long, my friend

I’m sure a Framework phone is at least an idea for them to produce. Definitely an extremely difficult challenge. It would be nice if it allowed for removable RAM, but it could be hard due to SODIMM being relatively large or due to RAM being put on SOCs. I imagine it shouldn’t be too much to ask for removable storage at least, given how small NVME drives can get. Upgradable SOC/motherboard is a must.

If we’re gonna have a dystopian future, then damn it, it’s gonna be memory safe.

Why does a virtual machine platform need to add support for different kernel versions? What changes are there in the kernel that affects how it interacts with the virtual hardware?

Shouldn’t it have its own time system? And have its own time zones? You can’t give the moon its own single time zone (unless you’re into the idea of a single universal time zone).

Do HDDs noticably degrade when powered off? I’m thinking about getting one of these for cold storage backups. Also, how much of an impact does repeated power cycling have on lifespan?

Switching to Neovim is on my to-do list. What do you recommend as a good way to get up to speed?

Update maintainer and author info. The other maintainer suddenly disappeared.

Lmao, that’s putting it lightly.

I’ve been interested in doing this, but I can’t tell why I need to login to Beeper in order to self host. I noticed their previous self-host solution did not require that.

Because of that login step, I decided to look into this other repo which uses Ansible to deploy a Matrix homeserver and the same bridges that Beeper uses. I haven’t finished it yet since there’s a lot of config and choices to make, but it seems like it’ll serve the same end goal.

Edit: lol, maybe if I read the intro, I’ll get my answer.

You can connect any† standard Matrix application service to your Beeper account without having to self-host a whole Matrix homeserver.

Still might go with the second option so that I don’t rely on their cloud services.

That would be awesome. I wish banks would also have standardized (or at least open) APIs so I could use FOSS financial software to pull my live purchase history and then categorize that and etc. I think some banks do this, but not very common in the US from what I can tell.
