Where have you never been, but is close to you?
  • When I was over there last year, we tried to shoehorn Stonehenge into our plant since we would be driving past in on the way to Bath. I heard from plenty of people that it’s almost not worth it unless you’re just really interested in its specific history. I was told it gets crowded pretty quickly (lots of tourists groups), and you can’t get very close to it anymore. We dropped it and saw it from the motorway on the way to Bath.

  • Jacques Villeneuve’s finely nuanced take on Daniel Ricciardo
  • His dad’s legacy definitely followed him around his whole career.

    Also, FWIW, he’s not a bad driver at all. He still had to show up in the lower formulae to generate interest in F1. Plus, Williams was a top team at the time. They didn’t need a media darling who brought money. Most drivers at the time would’ve loved to drive for them.

  • Jacques Villeneuve’s finely nuanced take on Daniel Ricciardo
  • TBH, I’ve never thought Jaques was a very good driver. His WDC came driving probably the most technologically advanced car ever built. After that, he really didn’t do much. Saying Ricciardo’s image has kept him in F1 carries some irony with it.

    Edit: I probably overstated it before. Jacques isn’t a bad driver. I just never thought his talent warranted the amount of praise he got. I see a lot of similarities between him and Ricciardo. Both are/were “good enough.” I think Daniel is probably more talented, though.

  • Top news app caught sharing “entirely false” AI-generated news
  • Like cloud, too. Behind the Bastards did an episode on these trends. He had an interesting take. I guess “AI” and/or the tech bros who pump and dump these tech trends one after the other were the bastards.

  • Trump supporters call for riots and violent retribution after verdict
  • They took their first (arguably second after Charlottesville or the Bible photo op BS) shot on Jan 6. Don’t think there won’t be a second attempt. They view this guy as a messiah and they view themselves as religious. Him not getting what they want is a dangerous combination. He’s already shown the “greater good” has no place in his world.

  • How Ken Paxton is stretching the boundaries of consumer protection laws to pursue political targets
  • Like many things with politicians, they’re both. For Republicans, they’re terrible when used to limit businesses practices. However, as you can see, they’re awesome when they let you go after and punish people you don’t like - which is something Republican politicians increasingly LOVE! Almost as much as they “love” Jesus.

  • Siblings

    One can’t keep herself out of a box or anything resembling a box. The other is responsible for the never healing contusion on his sister’s ear (though, she sometimes starts it).

    I think she misses her old buddy

    Our mini schnauzer passed in January. They were pals.

    Do you drink milk from the cereal bowl?

    Do you drink the cereal-flavored milk straight from the bowl? I grew up doing this because my parents taught me how good that milk tastes. As I’ve gotten older, I feel a little self-conscious about doing it in public. It’s not something I notice other non-children doing.

    Editing to add: I do drink the milk from the bowl. As to when I'm eating it "in public:" hotels mostly. Self-conscious was probably the wrong word. I'm more wondering if people silently judge a grown person drinking cereal milk from the bowl. Not losing sleep if they do, just curious.

    SSH through ProxyJump w/ conditional RunCommand

    Trying to do a couple things. I have 2 jump hosts I can use to get into my cluster login node. From my laptop to the jump hosts is password. From jump hosts to login node can be key-based, so if I do it all from CLI: [me@home ~]$ ssh user@jump1 Password: [user@jump1 ~]$ ssh user@login1 [user@login1 ~]$ Same process if I use jump2.

    So first thing I'm trying to do is set up my ~/.ssh/config to use the ProxyJump host and key file to get to login1. I have the following: Host jump1 Hostname jump1.domain Host jump2 Hostname jump2.domain Host login1 Hostname login1.cluster ProxyJump jump1 #ProxyJump jump2 I'm not sure how to configure the IdentityFile entries for each jump host. The user on the jump hosts has different id_rsa keys in ~/.ssh, but both are in the authorized_keys file on login1.

    Second thing I'm trying to do is join or start a tmux session. From CLI, I can run: tmux has-session -t mysession || tmux new -s mysession && tmux a -t mysession I've learned that to just join a running session (tmux a -t mysession), I need to include "RequestTTY yes" in my ssh config entry for login1. What I can't get working is the conditional statement that will fire up a new tmux session if it doesn't already exist.

    Photoprism or Immich

    I’ve seen a lot of recommends for Immich on here, so I have an idea what the answer here is going to be, but I’m looking for some comparisons between it and Photoprism I’m currently using Synology Photos, and I think my biggest issue is it’s lack of metadata management. I’ve gotten around that with MetaImage and NeoFinder. I’m considering moving to something not tied to the Synology environment.

    well pump help

    I have a well pump in my garage that seems to have stopped working. When plugging it in, I hear it running, but the pressure never goes up, and the motor never stops. No idea what I’m doing with this thing.

    What are some of your favorite lyrics?

    Like the title says, what are your favorite lyrics?

    I just heard one of my favorite verses today:

    > “In a seedy karaoke bar by the banks of the mighty Bosporus > Is a Japanese man in a business suit singing “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes.” > And the muscular cyborg German dudes dance with sexy French Canadians > While the overweight Americans wear their patriotic jumpsuits”

    Backing up Blu-Ray movie doesn't work

    Trying to backup a TV show I have on BD to my Plex server. The other discs in the season work fine w/ MakeMKV, but this one will only read the deleted scenes. So far, I've tried MakeMKV and dd (which returns an I/O error on this disc). Any other thoughts?

    YSK: If you reply to a comment, you should probably give it a vote

    Why YSK? Comments you reply positively to, should definitely get your upvote. Comments you disagree with should be at your discretion. Trolls deserve downvotes (seriously, they live for those). Disagreeing with someone in the midst of a good discussion doesn't necessarily warrant one, and might deserve an upvote. Even if you don't reply, but you agree with the comment, give it your vote.

    Also, this has nothing to do with propping up folks' egos. Comments with more upvotes will likely be seen first the longer the post is up. Alternatively, downvoted posts are less likely to be seen unless users are looking for them.

    Of course, this can lead to folks accusing communities of having leftist/right-wing bias, but I think overall it improves the usage of the site. Personally, the thing I liked most about Reddit was the conversations in the comments. Usually the ones with the most upvotes were more worth the read & engagement.
