A confused Dianne Feinstein tried to give a speech in the middle of a Senate hearing vote and was told to 'just say aye' instead
  • I can easily see the DNC having Newsom put Shiff in the seat if Feinstein dies (she's not going out any other way). Then Shiff would be the incumbent and the DNC and Dem voters usually go for the incumbent. Otherwise, they'll end up with Porter. She makes waves and the boys at the top, they don't like waves.

  • I Compiled the Linux Kernel myself for the first time
  • A friend of mine is a musician. About a decade or two ago I went over to his house and he said that he had to get a new fan to fix his computer. I asked him what was going on, so he turned it on and I heard that tick-tick-tick of the read head. I had to let him know it was his hard drive. He had a lot backed up, but not everything, and not the stuff he'd been working on the past couple weeks. Just a bummer. But he did set up a backup program after that.

  • What habits do you have to protect your privacy?
  • I configured the newsboat rss reader for my youtube subscriptions, but you may want to configure another reader that allows you to download/watch videos. An alternative to @cow@lemmy.world's javascript code, you can go onto the homepage of a youtube channel, open up the page source and search for "rssurl". That will give you the rss feed for the channel.

    A lot of readers can do this automatically. It really is nice to watch videos without any of the suggestions or ads. Also, if you use mpv to watch the videos, you can install a sponsorblock script that does away with the paid promotions in the video.

  • UFO hearings: whistleblower David Grusch says ‘non-human biologics’ found at alleged crash sites – as it happened
  • The Republican party has led the initial charge, with a series of claims about extraterrestrial life that, until recently, would have been seen as career-ending.

    LOL, more distraction from one party's inability to do their freaking job. It's funny that 1) alien visitors cross unfathomable distances using what must be technology far, far, in advance of anything we have, yet "crash" and 2) These "crashes" only happen in the US, or the US quickly swoops in to take all evidence of this from foreign countries.

    tl;dr Americans are so self-centered and narcissistic it's painful at times.

  • Mitch McConnell freezes during GOP news conference, escorted away | LiveNOW from FOX
  • The Constitution says that a person can't be under 30 to serve in the Senate. Is that saying that there aren't any sub-30 year olds who would be great Senators? Why is one arbitrary limit OK, but one on the other end of the range suddenly undemocratic? That just makes no sense to me.

  • I Compiled the Linux Kernel myself for the first time
  • That just brings me back to starting the compile, getting something to eat, doing chores, and whatever else. Then when it was finally done, booting it up only for it to not boot because I forgot some checkbox. Repeat a couple of times. Nights getting the thing working. And then on the next kernel release, trying to make sure I remembered all the checks because it didn't let you export the current config back then.

    We already have age limits at the lower end. Why are people so against age limits at the upper end?

    Copying website for offline

    This is probably not the right place, but I figured I'd give it a try. I've been trying to copy this website so I could have offline access when tooling around the Channel Islands. I could (and probably will), just copy/paste whatever info I need for my little trips, but the fact that I can't copy it ass over is annoying the hell out of me. I've tried variations of wget -r ... as well as httrack with no success. Anyone have any idea how I can get this?

    Media Manager

    Any idea for what to use as a media manager? I'm getting ready to go on a small trip and I would like to be able to import all my videos/pictures from an SD card and have them filed based on the meta data. At least by date. I've always done this manually and it's not awful, but there has to be a better way.
