I remember being thrilled with a 20 meg scsi hard drive I got as a kid.

I mean that is already a problem, if you ask a question you have to be ready for the answer to be a mismatch of version conflicts.

But that is ok. ChatGPT is a tool that can either help you or hurt you. I like to think of it like a power hammer. If you are doing a roofing job, it can help you get things done faster compared to a manual hammer, but you still need to know how to build a roof to get started.

ChatGPT is great at helping you organize your thoughts or finding an answer to some error message buried in some log file, but you still need to know what questions to ask and you need to be ready for it to give you a stupid answer and how to get around that.

I thought it was a boomer is “older than me” and a millennial is “dem youngens”. /s

I recently switched my instance from gitea to forgejo because everyone said to do it and it was easy to do.

I like Franks in wing sauce but prefer Cholula for pretty much anything else.

Cholula with mayo and ketchup makes a great fry sauce.

There are so many awesome fancy mustards out there, but if I want the ballpark standard yellow mustard, I usually just go for French’s. It’s the same principle with ketchup. When I want ketchup I just want Heinz. If I go to a restaurant and they are all proud of their “house made” ketchup, it is probably going to be too sweet or tomatoy or whatever. Just give me what I grew up with and don’t mess with it.

That said my wife has been making mustard at home recently and it is amazing. It’s not yellow mustard but a tangy grainy mustard that is great.

I used Plex way back when it was really just a desktop client that I ran on a Mac Mini. Once they wanted me to make an account with them to watch my own stuff I found a different solution.

I’ve been on Jellyfin for years and I am sure there are some features that I don’t have, but it works great for my setup. I have a docker running on my NAS and two shield tvs connected around the house. I keep all my content in a codec that plays on the clients just fine and everyone is happy.

I put boiled eggs, frozen vegetables, and chili crisp along with any leftovers I have. Today I had some extra bacon but things like pork chops or chicken is good too.

Still experimenting with different brands of chili crisp. I like the ones with a bit of crunch but they are not spicy enough. I put a couple big spoonfuls on top and would like it hotter with less oil.

The US is a huge and diverse country, and you cannot make ANY generalizations that will apply to everything. You are right that “easy” isn’t the right word, but there are places where it is possible.

I guess my original point was that there are communities that are starting to prioritize mixed use buildings and it IS at least possible now. I’m not sure there was much new build that would fit this criteria in the 80’s or 90’s.

It's not "common" per se, but if you wanted to live above the store you owned, as the poster was talking about, it would be easy to do so in the United States today.

I live in a town in the west that is a population of about 13,000 but is well within the Seattle metropolitan area.

All of the new build in the city is apartment buildings with commerce on the street level. Sure there are miles and miles of suburbs around the city but downtown is all mixed use for new builds.

Does this mean you could have two Easters 28 days apart depending on which time zone you are in?

 

There has been several conservative memes about golf courses going away or liberals taking them away. Did I miss some news about that?

 

I have a DS920+ which I haven't upgraded the ram for, so it still has the default 4GB on it. Reading around, it sounds like Synology only supports adding an additional 4GB for it, but some other sites mention putting an additional 8 or 16 into it.

Has anyone upgraded theirs with more ram? What have you added and what were your experiences?
