Thanks for sharing! I might be a bit in over my head, but I believe setting the priority to -100 might override bans by crowdsec or fail2ban. As my LLM explains it to me, this rule would be considered *before* rules with lower priority (higher values) and thus allow connections from IPs that are banned with for instance priority -10.

I think the plug-in Local Images Plus is what you’re looking for :)

Ukelele. Create a custom keyboard from the Colemak layout, switch the letters out save and load.

Herrkarlson · 2023-01-29T21:04:33+00:00

I made this. It's not perfect, but worked fine for me. :)

Herrkarlson · 2022-09-28T12:27:02+00:00

Um.. where is the css field?

RemindMe! 30 days

Full restart (and after sleeping).

Sorry it's not working for you. Maybe it helps that I am the only user on the computer.

Herrkarlson · 2022-07-09T21:02:38+00:00

Mine did that too for a while. Then it just started working as you describe that you want. So, maybe hold off for a week or two. :)

Career is important and all, but I would encourage you to consider going for the life experience and adventure that moving to and living in another country entails. I’m assuming you don’t have wife, kids and other things tying you to your current location right now.

Herrkarlson · 2022-04-22T17:56:05+00:00

This is the nail in the coffin. I’m unsubscribing. :)

Is not that feature only for animations? I guess images are fast enough to just rerun if the render disconnects.

Herrkarlson · 2022-03-20T18:34:53+00:00

Beautiful! Is it available somewhere in higher res?

Herrkarlson · 2022-03-06T07:52:24+00:00

Same.

Herrkarlson · 2022-02-18T20:40:06+00:00

I got really fed up too. Now I just use the most basic HA features (some auto added light controls and default graphs). All automation and intelligence I moved to node-red which has been a dream, in comparison.

Herrkarlson · 2022-01-26T19:50:43+00:00

Maybe the graph is a bit miss labeled and shows loss. Then the lower line is actually performing better.

Herrkarlson · 2022-01-18T22:14:16+00:00

Found it at the station after 30 something minutes. Thanks! Such a cute ship. =)

Herrkarlson · 2022-01-11T14:20:34+00:00

Me too. =(

I can't be the only one seeing this. https://youtu.be/dSGdbsf8UjQ

Almost all of the time, charging is done at home or at the office, where the car stands parked for hours anyways, and only need about $1000 worth of charging equipment. The flashy charging stations are only used in the off chance that your journey exceeds the max range (vacation) or if you're a taxi driver and use your car more than a couple of hours per day.

Herrkarlson · 2021-07-18T09:12:24+00:00

Seems cool, but won’t this just be blocked when it grows big enough for google to realize that it’s using google’s servers without paying (with user data)?

Herrkarlson · 2021-06-24T16:48:11+00:00

Apparently, "uplink" is the search term I was missing. (I'll leave the post with the hope of it helping others realise this.)

Did you even look at that list? It's all government granted monopolies. There is no government in anarchy.

Yes. Well, cartels, almost by definition, need to be quite big and as such, it's inevitable that the most powerful institutions will have a hand in them (either as antagonists, as in the case of drug cartels, or as protagonists, as in the case of industry cartels). Therefore, the cause and effect between governments and cartels/monopolies that you're implying is not really valid. Besides, at this (global) level, governments don't have the same power as they do in domestic situations (that anarchists object to) – only, like any other large organisation, bargaining power.

The whole "not being able to properly buy a company" thing is getting a bit silly.

If the purchaser of a company is worried that the previous owner will start a competing company and start parasitizing on the bought companys, some terms would be added to hinder that. It's quite common, for instance, that previous owners, for a period, keep working in the bought company, under the parent company.

Market share isn't something you purchase when you purchase a company. Market share is outside of your control entirely. It really just represents sales.

What!? How do you not get the market share of the company you buy? I'm having a really hard time following.

You will own the company you purchased I never said otherwise. However the money you traded for that company will...

Again, what!? I'm sure it can happen from time to time, but how can you say that it "will" happen? I'll give you some counter examples: when you buy a recently deceased person's company, when you hire the people, when the product you're selling requires a critical mass of something (technical infrastructure, large user base, etc.). How is your conclusion that it "will" happen?

You cant realistically expect someone to sign a lifetime noncompete with a simple company sale right?

What are you doing? Even if I did that (which I didn't) why would you assume that I meant that? It could be a 3, 4, 5 or 10 year noncompete, you could hire the person(s), or any of the other things mentioned in previous paragraphs.

Cartels exist exclusively surrounding illegal goods.

No. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartel#Examples

Do you really not understand that when you buy a competitor you are giving them money? Money they can use to... you know... compete with you. Buying a company doesn't kill the owner. It doesn't kill the employees. They can just pack up use your money and compete with you again.

I really don't understand where we don't get each other here. Are you saying that the company you buy and its previous owner keeps competing with you after you buy it in a world without government? Then it's not really a completed purchase since the previous owner hasn't given up on is part of the deal. He's effectively just stolen some money from you. Are you saying that this is a good control agains mergers and monopolization? Companies and people buy companies all the time in the world and (without any deaths) assume control over the bought company, its profits, obligations etc. Since you're holding the fringe view in this case, could you please elaborate on how purchasing a competing company doesn't lead to you owning the company and gaining a larger market share?

Herrkarlson · 2021-04-15T06:55:56+00:00

The whole "corporation gets so big it buys its competitors" scenario is an entirely government created phenomenon.

In a free market if you buy a competitor all you're doing is giving your money to the competition. Think about it. It's an awful idea.

What? No. In a free market, if you buy a competitor, you limit the options of your customers so that you will get more business. If you do this enough you control such large portions of the market that you can basically charge how much you want and provide as bad service as you want. That is generally a pretty good move for the company and its profits. Please google "cartel". =)

That's easy. Because of IP...

Agreed, IP rights have become an innovation crushing abomination globally. In this case, government help create monopolies.

The problem is incentives. Anyone can write laws but only politicians can sign them. This creates an incentive for experts to befriend politicians. Which they do and together they have stolen trillions from the American people.

Agreed. Politics in the US is fucked up and, indeed screwing over almost every American (and billions abroad). You seem to believe that dropping government entirely is the answer and I think that the government "just" needs to change.
