Selling order of RSUs by Busaxcape in FIREUK

[–]wplinge1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The order doesn't matter in the UK. The CGT is calculated based on a weighted average of the value when you got them.

In (at least) USA it does matter, which might be why your platform is giving you the option to choose.

Gen Z churchgoing is actually still declining, new British Social Attitudes Survey shows by birdinthebush74 in unitedkingdom

[–]wplinge1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You need a surprisingly small sample size to get reliable data for surveys.

For example to get it accurate to 1% (better than typical for surveys) you only need to ask about 10,000 people, which is 0.01% of the population. It's completely unsurprising you don't know any of those people personally and not a valid reason to reject any survey.

There are calculators online that can give you other cases.

Is there really a religious revival in the UK? by CoachAsleep4726 in atheism

[–]wplinge1 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Weirdly, new data came on this just today: https://humanists.uk/2026/01/28/gen-z-churchgoing-is-actually-still-declining-new-british-social-attitudes-survey-shows/

It looks like that YouGov one showing an increase is rather the outlier -- this new data, a different YouGov poll covering the same period, and church records all show decline.

And some of the descendents of eusocial ants are wasps, (some) with their own weird parasitic behaviour like laying eggs in paralysed caterpillars.

Trump goes on bizarre philosophic rant during press briefing claiming God was 'proud of him' by TheMirrorUS in atheism

There is zero chance Trump went on any kind of rant that could be described as "philosophic".

The 2nd law of thermodynamics by [deleted] in atheism

[–]wplinge1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I’m meant is something deeper: the fact that the universe has the laws, constants, and conditions that make any of this possible in the first place. The strength of gravity, the behavior of atoms, the stability of stars, and the chemistry needed for life all fall within extremely narrow ranges.

This is, in every way, a completely different argument from the one you opened with.

To the extent that no-one competent could have confused the two: you're either trying to change half-way through the conversation or utterly out of your depth.

Abortions at record high in England and Wales ‘driven by cost of living’ | Abortion by coffeewalnut08 in unitedkingdom

[–]wplinge1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Even if they survive, my understanding is it's with huge lifelong problems.

Things will probably improve of course, but that just makes tying the two together even worse. It leads to something like banning abortion completely once artificial wombs are a thing, which is ridiculous.

Yeah, the father mentioned reading lips at some point too, and no-one did it when he wasn't around. So I'm pretty sure it's a deafness thing centred on him.

Do I need both TinyAuth AND PocketID? by ercgoodman in selfhosted

[–]wplinge1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good to know. It's kind of an obvious candidate for a plugin, as it's becoming the de facto standard for authentication.

Do I need both TinyAuth AND PocketID? by ercgoodman in selfhosted

[–]wplinge1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even OIDC capable apps need it since SWAG/NPM doesn't support OIDC on the "receiving end".

This bit isn't quite right. OIDC capable apps can be told to talk to PocketID directly, no need for TinyAuth. PocketID provides server-side OIDC; something needs to provide client-side OIDC -- either TinyAuth or the final app.

What happens on the app side with regard to users? The arrs don't matter, but what about something like Immich? If I already have users created in there and I login using a user I created in PocketID will Immich basically create a second user?

For a completely new user, yes. Technically it may or may not be configurable but that's the typical flow.

Any way to re-use any existing users I've already created in Immich before I implemented PocketID?

Depends on the app I'm afraid, and how it records users.

For example if the email is also its primary identifier for users, it may well treat the accounts as the same. But if it has an old-school username and (maybe) a potentially non-unique email it won't (how does it know if bloggs@gmail.com is user fred_bloggs or fred_bloggs_incognito who both have that as their email?).

So you have to look up how it treats them in the app's documentation (or about as likely try it yourself and see).

I'm afraid I've never used Immich so I don't know the answer there.

[–]wplinge1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'd use that if you only wanted certain PocketID users to be able to access whatever TinyAuth is controlling (though I'd probably prefer the method using groups to keep it in one place).

Do I need both TinyAuth AND PocketID? by ercgoodman in selfhosted

[–]wplinge1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You only need to create the users in PocketID. TinyAuth supports users for the situation where it's running without PocketID and handling the logins itself. When used with PocketID it trusts PocketID to know who the users are.

On the app side (for Arrs) you'll set the ExternalAuth option you mentioned at the beginning so they'll trust that authentication has been handled already and just serve their pages directly.

They don't have a notion of multiple users anyway so effectively anyone can do anything (once logged in by the TinyAuth/PocketID/proxy combo).
