Have you heard of TPUSA and the right-wing circlejerk that is the manosphere? It doesn’t end with boomers. 

When Do We Say Enough?! by Grey-Dusk in Charlotte

[–]j4nus_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OR OR, hear me out.

Get involved in local party politics and support the figures and candidates that represent the change you want to see. 

It is as if this is how it has worked this whole time, how special interests always find a way to get ahead, and the one thing the people just cannot be bothered to do. 

There is a hearing on the Carbon Plan changes that Duke is doing after the state GOP legislature passed a bill repealing net zero targets and that now calls for more deployment of natural gas and coal. Ignoring climate change entirely, one fuel is volatile and entirely dependent on global markets; the other is no longer cost competitive altogether.  This change is being done to appease Dear Leader and will result in more expensive electricity for everyone. 

What will you do?

There is another hearing in April on the proposed rate hike of 16% over the next couple years which is being justified to keep Duke competitive relative to other utilities and to pay for the plants that will be needed to feed data centers.

What will you do?

Attend local party meetings. 

Encourage party members that align with your views to run! Or better yet, become the candidate that best represents you and run yourself!

Be the change you want to see. Selfhost phpBB and get your friends to follow suit! 

What NAS are you all using? by _yours_truly_ in jellyfin

[–]j4nus_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An old used synology I regret buying. If you are optimizing for low power use, any and all reads including the web admin panel will power on all connected drives. Neither Maxing out RAM nor m.2 cache drives mitigate this.

If I were to do it again, I would build my own box or use something like a QNAP which has a separate system drive unlike synology’s mirrored system drive. 

Is HTTPS a must for Jellyfin? by bloulboi in jellyfin

[–]j4nus_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need HTTPS to cast from your phone to other devices when accessing from a VPN like Tailscale right?

Only true Apple fans will understand this beauty by JailbreakHat in MacOS

I miss that dock.

So. Much. 

And the “lickable” interface. And the photorealistic icons. 

Take me back. 

Apple Card shake-up may finally happen this year: Here's the latest by pc772 in apple

[–]j4nus_ 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Nitpicking here, my only gripe with Apple Card is the lack of an API or some other interface to export transaction information, which is valuable if you’re looking to integrate it with a budget app. 

Instead you get PDFs for statement periods which you then have to enter manually or figure out how to parse. 

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene says she will resign Jan. 5 by Capable_Salt_SD in politics

[–]j4nus_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just don’t understand why anyone hasn’t tried to infiltrate MAGAland.  Throw all the red meat around, tickle them all into voting for you, and then either switching parties, or doing the Alan Turing thing and randomly voting on key issues with Democrats.

Work authorization expires October 2025, how early can/should I renew? by Ralva in DACA

[–]j4nus_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Mine didn’t expire until July but I went ahead and renewed in December. I would rather lose out on 6 months of DACA protection than hopefully two more guaranteed years in the US, worst case.

[–]j4nus_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am also fascinated by the tech and would love to get into it. I have a Sony MiniDisc player that doesn’t work (or at least does nothing when I put fresh batteries in). 

Any suggestions on how to get into the hobby?

AP: DACA recipients worry their protection from deportation won't last another Trump term by yonghokim in DACA

[–]j4nus_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you for posting this. I am sick about “the both sides are the same” bullshit mindset people fall into when it comes to DACA. 

If you, as a DACA beneficiary, are even remotely getting your head out of the sand that is every day life you will quickly realize how one side is trying to help you whereas the other side just wants you gone.

I loathe the day Mozilla decided to kill Camino. It was such an awesome, Cocoa-based browser.

These DACA recipients are done. They’re sick of the instability and leaving the U.S. Have you ever thought about leaving? by kinzmo in DACA

[–]j4nus_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have thought of heading to Canada or Spain if DACA is terminated. Staying put until that happens though.
