Probably true.

But until a court actually steps up to say it, it's the Wild West out there. And as soon as this gets shot down, another executive order will get wedged back in there to keep the rigs drilling.

EDIT: Apparently the naming had nothing to do with drilling. The drilling ban was already specifically reversed in a different executive order that reversed several Biden EOs

I don't disagree.

But recent interpretation of the use of executive order is hurtling toward the president having near-monarch authority

So, until the reach of executive orders gets reigned in... here we are.

The IHO proposes names which world nations may or may not use.

Such is the case with the "Southern Ocean" around Antarctica since the early 2000s, which is randomly recognized & not recognized by world nations.

Obama renamed Mt. McKinley to Denali by executive order. Trump is using executive order to rename it back.

Biden outlawed oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico. Trump used executive order to rename it so the Gulf of Mexico "doesn't exist". (EDIT: Actually the naming appears to be unrelated to this. The drilling ban was specifically reversed in a different executive order that reversed several Biden EOs)

It's all questionable use of executive order. But which party is going to step up and say "the last guy did it, but our guy shouldn't be able to ignore checks & balances anymore"?

Mostly Docker.

Portainer and plugging Docker Compose XML into Portainer stacks makes Docker stupid-simple. (personally speaking as a stupid person that does this)

Cloudflare tunnels for stuff people other than you might want to access.

Tailscale if it's only you.

Reverse proxy & port forwarding for sharing media over Jellyfin without violating the Cloudflare Tunnel ToS.

Oh, I hear you...

Filters can make it so the Mastodon feed doesn't force you to want to walk out into traffic.

Yep. The "big frickin' nerd" part carries my statement pretty hard.

Homelab, videogames, Linux stuff... Content for miles.

If you follow hashtags, and you're a big frickin' nerd, Mastodon actually has pretty good content.

Rented a house over the holidays that had a Samsung Smart TV.

The UI is mind-bogglingly bad and slow.

The remote is also absolutely terrible and unintuitive. The keys that feel like they should be the arrow keys.. aren't. So even simple navigation through menus is painful.

Which is sad, because the 3070 and 2070 absolutely traded blows with the previous flagships.

The "4070" might've also had a chance if they hadn't fk'ed around with the naming on most cards below the 4080.
