I currently use Jellyfin to stream my music collection. It’s all stored on my NAS and I can give access to whomever I like. Downside is that the iOS music client, FinAmp, is… not pretty. It’s functional, but not great. I understand the player situation to be a bit better on the Android side.

I really like micro. It’s like nano but with mouse support. Not much difference otherwise.

Depending on what you are trying to do, not necessarily. NextCloud itself doesn’t really care, as far as I know, as long as it’s address doesn’t change. AIO on the other hand is setup in such a way that it needs a resolvable domain name and a valid certificate for https.

This could be done by spinning up your own certificate authority and dns server, but that is a lot of extra work and would be local network access only.

Another way would be to use a free domain and a free certificate from let’s encrypt. The downside here is that the domain authority could yank your domain at any time, for any reason (as happened to all of the free .ml domains recently). At which point your certificate would also stop working resulting in a situation where you may have to nuke and pave.

If you want to be local access only, I would pick an install path other than AIO. If you want to be able to access NextCloud remotely, purchase a domain name.

A VPN, such as TailScale would be considered local network in this situation.

I was just about to post this.

I’m 37 and have long believed I will never actually be able to retire, and yet a large chunk of what I earn goes to so called retirement!

For about the last 15 years, I would agree with the school board’s lawyers. At this point is is kinda an occupational hazard, kinda like vehicle accidents are for me as a truck driver.

Should it be normalized? I would say too late. Should teachers be payed more as a result? I’m a little surprised anyone is will to take the job as is even if the wages were doubled.

School board can’t do much except try to minimize the current threat and teachers aren’t allowed to do anything to minimize the threat going forward, lest they be accused of indoctrinating children. So, ya, it’s an occupational hazard.

There are a whole slew of ways to look at this depending on what “glasses” you like to wear, and also the type of work involved. I work in grocery logistics, moving groceries from where they are produced to the store where you buy them. Here’s a few from my “lens”:

• They are looking at the long term office space leases they are stuck with.
• In person training tends to be more effective ( I remember reading a study on this, but can’t currently find it.)
• Most people suck at communicating effectively. Proximity seems to improve this. (Personal observation)
• Community (It is far easier to “other” someone that you rarely or never meet in person. Not so easy if they are showing you pictures of their kids every day. “Sally just got a new particle accelerator! Isn’t she so lovely! This is her sinking Manhattan!”)
• Leadership (I have to come into work to do my job. My boss’s job though is mostly paperwork. He could do his job from home but why should I care what he has to say if he isn’t in the same mud as me?)

My thought on this is if you want the flexibility of working from home, that’s fine. But don’t expect me to give a damn about what you think. The job is rough enough without an uninformed opinion trying to mess things up worse.

Single use or the reusable bottles?

My wife bought a filter jug but still would rather buy single use bottles of water. She thinks I’m nuts for drinking straight out the tap. 😂

Whoops, sorry! I keep forgetting The NY Times has two share buttons.

It’s a nationwide company, mostly doing less then truckload hauls. Mostly saw them around bigger cities. Teamsters outfit, like most of the LTL companies. When I first started in the trucking industry it was called YRC, I think.

Was wondering how long it would take.

My biggest problem has always been the available range. The charging infrastructure in the South is largely nonexistent and I work 60 miles from my house. The only way I could go electric would be to gut and rewire my house to add a charger (The 120v one wouldn’t cut it) and have a way to top up the charge at work during the winter. The cost of the car itself is only half the problem for me.

I was looking real hard at the Lightning when it came out and was about to pull the trigger on the truck and everything associated with it when the towing range came out. Yikes! I haven’t been that disappointed in a long while.

One of my senators (Senator Tubberville) is attempting to force his religious beliefs onto the military. Specifically he seems to have a problem with the military supporting family planning. To do that he has been holding up confirmations of military officers. As a result of his actions, we have lost out on a new military base, our nation’s national security has been put at risk and he has made Alabama an even bigger laughingstock than it already was.

As you may have guessed, I am not a fan of his.

So…. Are the Republicans in Colorado trying to ensure a Democratic Party victory?

Good bot!

That’s what I thought. I’m trying to wrap my head around why someone who had already illegally entered Canada would then try to get into the the US. The only answer that seems to make any sense is if they were trying to link up with family already in the States.

What gets me is, why come into America? They had already reached Canada. Canadians seem alot more chill then us. Or does Canada have less tolerance for illegal immigration than the US?
