I have one, it's been great.

That said, "exactly what the problem is" isn't always the same as telling you the solution. I had a "misfire on cyl #3" error or something like that, which can be a number of things. Replacing all the coils and plugs myself was probably still cheaper than taking it to the shop though!

Not sure I agree.

First, stocks tend to be highly correlated with "the market" (see financial "β"/"beta coefficient"). For example, look at, say, The Home Depot or Ford Motors. From January 2000 to January 2003 (spanning the dot com bubble) they each lost about a third of their value, yet these are not "dot com"-centric companies.

Second, the promise of AI is that it will help every company that has desk jobs. So every company has this expectation now priced into their stock, and if the bottom falls out, well...

Not an analyst/I don't pick stocks, but just my 2¢.

If you're running it via docker compose it's trivial to upgrade, and there are no breaking changes. Pull, down, up, you're done.

In grad school I bought a blue (405nm) laser pointer. It was supposed to be <5mW, but I measured it at over 70mW.

When I criticize my baby, he looks me in the eyes and asserts dominance with a "what you gonna do about it?" shit grin.

Comparing him to Stephen Miller is just offensive.

My favorite is habanero


there's no ñ, just n, but some will make a show of pronouncing it with the incorrect ñ sound.

Frigate is pretty good, too. I've only been running it for a few months but I'm very happy with it.

Though, technically that leaves you more at risk of ransomeware or something that overwrites your data.

I rsync as well, but use snapshotting on the remote drives. So, a bad rsync would suck but shouldn't really result in data loss. Ransomware on my local+remote server would of course be very bad...

I do something similar


I have a raspberry pi and a HD, with daily rsync and snapshots (monthly retained indefinitely, weekly retained for a month, daily retained for a week). It's at family's house, connected to my home via WireGuard via a VPS. Tailscale (or anything really) would also work here.

It's a great setup! Just have some watchdog reboot if it can't talk to home (a simple cronjob with ping -c1 home.lan || reboot or similar).

Even our "slow" 35Mbps upload speed is way more than enough for incremental rsyncs of my Immich library. The initial sync was done in person, though.

I got one from goHardDrive on eBay (link). It was cheap enough, looks flawless, and knock on wood has been working fine.

Googling around, the brand gets...mixed reviews. My use case is such that of this drive fails it's not a big deal.

Early Bulletin Said Ammunition in Kirk Shooting Engraved With Transgender, Antifascist Ideology; Some Sources Urge Caution

https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/charlie-kirk-shot/card/pdymd1sXXMSlVRhpvR4b

It sounds like a bulletin was indeed circulated, and it sounds like the WSJ is being pretty candid about the law enforcement response:

Law-Enforcement Officials Sow Confusion on Manhunt for Kirk Shooter / Contradictory public statements risk undermining confidence in investigation, law enforcement veterans say

https://www.wsj.com/us-news/charlie-kirk-shooting-manhunt-e7f3eae4

The WSJ is not going to have first hand access to the evidence, so they have to report (transparently!) what they're told by credible sources. In this case, it sounds like law enforcement


supposed to be credible


is not. It's a pretty tricky thing to report on.
