Haha yep, the CPU is honestly not a good fit at all… The only reason I used it is because I already had it. I decided to build this server mostly from parts scavenged off my old gaming PC. I rationalize the choice since the server sits in a basement that I struggle to keep warm. You’ve got me thinking though… It might be worth it to get into the BIOS and make sure I’m on ECO mode, at least.

And in my case, using docker solely for pihole. It’s as if my “shipping container” has nothing inside save for a box of kleenex.

I use the frigate plugin in home assistant to make my lights do certain things when persons are detected where they shouldn’t be. Once you’ve got frigate connected to home assistant, your possibilities are endless. With a few zigbee smart switches, you could start pulling off home alone style antics if you really wanted. Think: sprinklers, lights, noises, projectors, video, etc… just dont forget to keep the legal aspect in mind.

I also have home assistant play a sort of alarm on my denon home theater stereo if a person is detected in frigate. It gets very loud.

I haven’t heard of alarmo. It sounds like it fits my use case perfectly. Checking it out.

You realize that China has dominated the smaller consumer drone sector for ages now? And that most countries are beginning to turn to Chinese drones for military applications?

Still a better track record than the F35.

It was at a scholastic book fair where I first encountered robot arena 2 on CD. Top game.

Making my way downtown

Who here has played battle cats?

Your cat loves you and is trying to understand you. Trying to figure you out.

Yes… that is not only possible, but likely when n=5…

Please, the original claim was “Chinese people feel coerced”, which is wrong by every metric, and there is no evidence to support this claim.

Although China is certainly not immune from severe social and economic challenges, there is little evidence to support the idea that the CCP is losing legitima- cy in the eyes of its people. In fact, our survey shows that, across a wide variety of metrics, by 2016 the Chi- nese government was more popular than at any point during the previous two decades. On average, Chinese citizens reported that the government’s provision of healthcare, welfare, and other essential public services was far better and more equitable than when the survey began in 2003. Also, in terms of corruption, the drop in satisfaction between 2009 and 2011 was complete- ly erased, and the public appeared generally support- ive of Xi Jinping’s widely-publicized anti-corruption campaign. Even on the issue of the environment, where many citizens expressed dissatisfaction, the majority of respondents expected conditions to improve over the next several years. For each of these issues, China’s poorer, non-coastal residents expressed equal (if not even greater) confidence in the actions of government than more privileged residents. As such, there was no real sign of burgeoning discontent among China’s main demographic groups, casting doubt on the idea that the country was facing a crisis of political legitimacy.

Let me guess: Harvard is tankie?

Again, asking for any type of source or statistic over anecdotes. Your “observations” go against reputable polling and statistics of people in China.

Was this survey conducted in Taiwan and signed as “China” complying with “one China policy”?

No… in fact this was a Harvard study that started off with “Given how China is an authoritarian nightmare, how widespread is support for the government?”

They’re in the phase where people are too scared to resist

Source?

They also claimed 7 out of every 10 Nazis killed in WWII, and by all accounts at the time, contributed the most to winning the war.

Wouldn’t that count as slave labour?

Not according to the Allies at the Yalta conference.

By the late 1940s, the only people claiming that the labor enjoyed by the Soviets at the hands of captured Nazis was “slavery” - were Nazis.

By all allied accounts, using German labor to pay reparations was deemed acceptable given how the Soviets had just sacrificed 27 million people.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced_labor_of_Germans_after_World_War_II

The difference is that the Americans rolled out a red carpet for the Nazis and offered employment contracts. The Soviets showed up one night and kidnapped nearly 7000 nazis at gunpoint, and then forced them to work to pay reparations. Based.

Enjoy the freedom of having the likes of Meta and Google pull another Cambridge analytica. Or the freedom of having multi-billion dollar companies like YouTube aggressively push algorithms that steer people down the alt right pipeline. Or the freedom of instagram mechanically and ruthlessly instilling in children as much body dysphoria and low self esteem as possible in the name of profit.

It was literally only two years ago that Meta was got caught promoting racial violence in Myanmar. https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2022/09/myanmar-facebooks-systems-promoted-violence-against-rohingya-meta-owes-reparations-new-report/

Any reasonable person can look at the heinous acts carried out by western tech companies in recent years and realize that the great firewall has been vindicated.

Edit: “CCP shill”, “whataboutism”, “two things can be bad”… come on folks, its time to start thinking of some new thought-terminating cliches. These are so 2023.

Do you think Hitler was evil?

Yeah the science is above my head but I believe usually after they rip out the nail (be it whole nail or a strip), they will apply a cotton ball of phenol to the bed and that is supposed to stop the nail from coming back. It failed to do so 3 times in my case, albeit on two different toes.

Fair, edited to bring the final choice back to podiatrist.

To anyone who gets this: do not let the podiatrist convince you to do the partial removal. Ask your podiatrist if a full nail avulsion could be preferable to a partial avulsion if minimizing chance of reoccurence is the most important factor to you. Ie, removing a tiny strip from one or both sides of the nail. It is HIGHLY likely it will get bad again. Have them do a full phenol cauterization and remove the entire nail. You dont need it, and you’ll be better off without it. However, I’m no doctor.

It’s no longer interesting because it’s probably bullshit - which is par for the course for these CIA cutouts. These are the same groups that push absurd ideas about state-mandated haircuts, Kim Jong Un dying, that Kim Jong Un executed his ex, that North Korea banned sarcasm, that Kim Jong Il claims he once shot 11 straight holes in one, etc… these pieces get absolutely eaten up by western liberals who, in the next breath, will call citizens of the DPRK the most propagandized on earth.
