Nobody with the name recognition except maybe don jr. and he has the charisma of a house plant.

Republicans are throwing a hail marry because once Trump dies there's not a snowballs chance they can ever win a fair election ever again.

They should probably throw a few bucks at finding ways to reduce power consumption. It's astounding at how little thought most industrial facilities give to finding and fixing energy loss. I'll bet they don't review code or systems processes for it at all.

I'm making one that identifies crooked politicians, businesses, and cops.

The former director takes a picture of a shell pattern with the numbers "86 47", and Jack Poso complains. Yet his post from 2022... 🤔 in c/whitepeopletwitter@sh.itjust.works

Might as well be one of those mutters on the street corner.

If you live within 1 mile of an airport you will have high amounts of lead in your blood. Maybe not as much as before, but still higher than there should be.

I hate to break it to you, but they never stopped using it in airplanes.

They're going to use it to arrest people they don't like.

Best file partition setup for Proxmox with separate drives for security camera recording? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I have a small ITX pc with a 256gb ssd and two nvr drives for recording my security cameras. I have a google coral installed to run frigate. I'm doing a fresh installation and I'm not sure what the best partition setup is. I'd like to have all of my vm's and containers on the ssd and mirror the two separate drives just for video recording. I'll run backups of my vm's, containers, and configs elsewhere in case the ssd fails.

How would you set up a loaner google tv box? (library as an example) (sh.itjust.works)
 

I'm looking into setting up android tv boxes or sticks for a charitable organization to loan out to people or possibly for their locations.

I have an ONN box with f launcher, button remaper, smarttube, etc.

I'd like to set that up and then when it comes back the hardware reset button can just be held down and revert to what I set up without going back to the out of the box state.

I think I'm looking for custom recovery partition or something like that.

Which project would be best for a local community hub? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Mastadon? Lemmy? It would probably have to be standalone so people would't be turned off from the content from the rest of the fediverse unless there's a way to prevent federated content from showing on the instance. Just a place to post local news and discussions, maybe a place to sell secondhand. I live near a huge college with a major cs program, so I should be able to get users.

If you think a game should be higher or lower in ranking, then upvote or downvote it. If you don't see a game on the list that you think should be on the list then create a top level reply with the name and system.

The inside of a snowman could be warmer than the outside. (sh.itjust.works)
 

If you built a snowman during the day the snow only needs to be below freezing. It can get colder that night or the next day by quite a bit. The exterior of the snowman would be colder than the inside even though they're both frozen.

I Replaced the headlight bulbs on the car today. (sh.itjust.works)
 

We recently purchased a new (to us) family car and I've been addressing some of the neglected maintenance items. The low beam headlights were extremely dim, yet the high beams were very bright. Incandescent bulbs become dimmer over time. I purchased some which were recommended by the forum for my specific vehicle for only $15 on the rain forest site. They are quite a bit brighter now and I feel much safer driving at night.
