It’s not illegal to modify a gun, it’s illegal to modify a gun into a gun that meets certain criteria to then become illegal. The crime isn’t modification of the gun, the crime is the possession of a (now) illegal gun.

No, in your case the crime isn’t the fact that you modified the rifle, the crime is that you modified it into an illegal version of the rifle. The crime is possession of a full auto rifle.

If I take a rifle that was setup for one caliber and modify it so it can shoot a different caliber, that’s not illegal.

He asked employees to print out their code so he could review it.

I think what you want is either plex or Jellyfin which will give you a nice UI to browse your already downloaded files.

Now how do you browse new releases and figure out what you want to download? I just setup https://overseerr.dev/ to go along with sonarr, radarr, prowlarr, nzbget, transmission… it’s a lot of different services but they all work well together. Now to look for new movies, I or my family goes to Overseerr to request downloads, then plex to watch.

I’ve been listening to A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs and let me tell you, the music industry can fuck right off. Small indie label? I’ll probably buy it, but one of the major record labels? Set sail mateys.

If you are looking for FOSS, I highly recommend joplin. It’s simple but works well. I used it for many years until recently I switched to Obsidian. I dislike that Obsidian isn’t FOSS but I’m using the free tier and the community plugins really make it so much more powerful than Joplin. They both store things in Markdown so I’m not locked down to their ecosystem which I think is a requirement for any note taking app.

I just think as someone new (like the OP), setting up vanilla pihole is a little easier.

Not all I self-host but pihole, plex, & homeassistant are certainly my most used.

1. Use Linux
2. It’s probably not a static-ip and I wouldn’t rely on it as such. I’d use http://www.duckdns.org/ to handle the dynamic IP issue (or something else, https://freedns.afraid.org/ would be another option)
3. I’d look to pihole to start with for DNS. It blocks ads and you can add manual DNS entries. If you need something more complex, you can always migrate to something like unbound but pihole is a good, easy start.
4. Setup https://letsencrypt.org/ You didn’t mention HTTPS/SSL, but you should really set it up. let’s encrypt makes it easy and free

If that’s the case it’ll be the first nintendo platform I don’t buy since the original NES. I still buy physical cartridges and if that’s no longer an option I guess I’m just a retro gamer playing emulated systems.

Yeah, but now a lot of people I convinced to use it, no longer use it because they just want to use one app.

Currently? No, because I quit reddit.

But when I was on reddit, I used Relay For Reddit Pro.

Yeah, the mesh features is really nice.

I’ve been using Home Assistant for a while now. I do recommend setting up a VLAN that can’t communicate with the internet which is where any wifi devices live. However I really like ZigBee and/or Z-Wave devices as they don’t require any internet connection.

Lights alone are a game changer. Timers never really worked well for us because we’re pretty far north of the equator and sunrises/sunsets have a pretty big swing. I currently have the lights come on 1 hour before sunset so it adjusts to this swing without me having to do anything. Then I have a button on my nightstand that turns off all the lights that aren’t night lights.

The downsides are that it can be expensive. You start with a couple of light bulbs, maybe a couple of outlets, next thing you know you are pricing out how much it will cost to change all your switches and trying to figure out if they all have neutral wires or not. You’ll start watching youtube videos of people’s setups and looking for ways to do more with your smart home. It’s a fun hobby but can be a lot of work.

Before I got my EV, all my vehicles were manual transmission vehicles except for one truck. That truck’s transmission was such a piece of shit and I had to have it rebuilt 2x while I owned it.

EVs have no transmission (well, I’ve seen some conversions that do but that’s a little different). At first I thought it would be like driving an automatic but it’s really not.

In an automatic, the transmission starts pushing you forward as soon as you let off the brake. In a manual and EVs, when you take your foot off the brake, nothing happens.

In an automatic, there’s not really a good way to decelerate without pressing on the brake. In a manual you can downshift (I know you can kindof downshift in an automatic but it’s really not the same) and in an EV you have the regenerative braking.

Accelerating in an EV is just better than anything because it’s just smooth acceleration right to wherever speed you are going to. Manuals can be fun to shift but I would say that EVs are better in this regard. Automatics still shift, they just shift for you and will often do it at the wrong times and can sometimes feel jerky if trying to accelerate quickly.

Really I think some people are just hesitant to adopt something new, especially if they feel like it’s being forced upon them as some sort of agenda. I think as they drop in price and more people try them, they will like them. Then there’s just the issue of range. I think if someone could get a $20-30k car with 300+mi range, it would be super popular.

Oh boy, this article is 20 years old. Still relevant though so go read it if you still aren’t sure about Unicode!

I mostly like it, I think there are still a few things that are rough around the edges and there have been some scaling issues with the massive influx of new people (I think mostly to be expected, we’ll see how things are going forward)

I think the biggest question is will more people move over? Reddit was what it was because of the people there, not because of the software. If we can develop a similar community here, I see no reason to go back to reddit.
