Tell them if you have to go back to the office, you quit.

Nah, never say "or I'll quit", you just say you won't go to an office. End of statement. You don't make any sort of threat or give them an ultimatum, just set your boundaries. Make them fire you, if you're valuable and/or well liked odd are they won't and you just get to keep working remote.

IMO, the best free option is https://freedns.afraid.org/. The biggest downside of that one is that you have to login a couple times a year (IIRC?) to keep it active. I actually still use this even though I have a paid domain, I just CNAME my real domains to the afraid dynamic name. That was easier than changing the config every time I become unhappy with my domain registrar and have to reconfigure everything after swapping.

It supports them already, there just aren't any provided by default. They're called Bookmark Keywords: https://github.com/jameshealyio/bang-bookmarks

I'd suggest not importing all of them from that list though, there's a crap load, just pick the ones you want and put them in manually.

Assuming you meant de-federate, there are a few listed on https://fedipact.online/ that seem to be lemmy instances.

IMO, yes. Docker (or at least OCI containers) aren't going anywhere. Though one big warning to start with, as a sysadmin, you're going to be absolutely aghast at the security practices that most docker tutorials suggest. Just know that it's really not that hard to do things right (for the most part[^0]).

I personally suggest using rootless podman with docker-compose via the podman-system-service.

Podman re-implements the docker cli using the system namespacing (etc.) features directly instead of through a daemon that runs as root. (You can run the docker daemon rootless, but it clearly wasn't designed for it and it just creates way more headaches.) The Podman System Service re-implements the docker daemon's UDS API which allows real Docker Compose to run without the docker-daemon.

[^0]: If anyone can tell me how to set SELinux labels such that both a container and a samba server can have access, I could fix my last remaining major headache.

The top white rectangle is a multi-color LED (presumably RGB). Can't make out what's in the bottom, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was some form of light sensor for (literally) flashing new information onto the tag.

Update the controller firmware.

I've got the "Xbox Wireless Controller", the one that has a little bit of a grippy texture on the handles & the 'd-pad on a circle' d-pad. And I was seeing the same thing before updating the FW ~a year (maybe even two?) ago.

Unfortunately, doing that requires a Windows PC or an Xbox.

Bad Bot! You stripped out the only important part of the article:

For the special Limited Edition version Valve has said:

You need to be in the United States or Canada.
Your account needs to be in good standing.
Your account needs to have made a purchase on Steam before November 2023.
Only one unit may be purchased per account.

If their experiment with this extra Limited Edition model goes well, we may see others come in future.

Additionally, their FAQ also notes for the normal 512GB and 1TB Steam Deck OLED models you will only be able to purchase "1 model of Steam Deck OLED per customer per week" but they plan to relax that when they're confident they can meet demand.

Also, the LE is still showing as in-stock for me: https://store.steampowered.com/sale/steamdeck_2023LE

I think the OOS labels it showed a couple times might have just been from the servers getting overloaded.

This is about "fees" over and above the advertised "price". So it says your plan is $65/month, but when you get your bill it's actually $95 because there's a "Cost Recovery Fee", a "Network Maintenance Fee", and a "Municipal Area Surcharge" (IIRC all real fees I've paid on an internet bill) on top of the advertised rate. They're often meant to look like taxes, but they aren't.

That may seem like an oxymoron, but I'm looking for some sort of server that I can self-host where I can edit blog posts and whatnot, but that then deploys to something like neocities (or any other pure static host).

I'm not finding anything, but maybe it's a thing and I just don't know what it's called?

The important part:

The current shortage of stimulant medications is the result of many factors. It began last fall due to a manufacturing delay experienced by one drug maker. While this delay has since resolved, we are continuing to experience its effects in combination with record-high prescription rates of stimulant medications. Data show that, from 2012 to 2021, overall dispensing of stimulants (including amphetamine products and other stimulants) increased by 45.5 percent in the United States. According to a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report, particularly during 2020-2021, when virtual prescribing was permitted on a widespread basis during the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency, the percentages in certain age groups grew by more than 10 percent. We are calling on key stakeholders, including manufacturers, distributors, pharmacies, and payors, to do all they can to ensure access for patients when a medication is appropriately prescribed. We want to make sure those who need stimulant medications have access. However, it is also an appropriate time to take a closer look at how we can best ensure these drugs are being prescribed thoughtfully and responsibly.

Stimulants are controlled substances with a high potential for abuse, which can lead to addiction and overdose. Therefore, there are limits (also known as quotas) set by DEA for how much of these drugs can be produced. However, for amphetamine medications, in 2022, manufacturers did not produce the full amount that these limits permitted them to make. Based on DEA's internal analysis of inventory, manufacturing, and sales data submitted by manufacturers of amphetamine products, manufacturers only sold approximately 70 percent of their allotted quota for the year, and there were approximately 1 billion more doses that they could have produced but did not make or ship. Data for 2023 so far show a similar trend.

We (DEA and the FDA) have called on manufacturers to confirm they are working to increase production to meet their allotted quota amount. If any individual manufacturer does not wish to increase production, we have asked that manufacturer to relinquish their remaining 2023 quota allotment. This would allow DEA to redistribute that allotment to manufacturers that will increase production. DEA is also committed to reviewing and improving our quota process.

A room-temperature superconductor would be the single biggest discovery since the transistor, so take this with a grain of salt until we get some independent reproductions. But, if true, this is world-changing.

I think you found an extra factor of a thousand somewhere along the way. I get 497 cubic meters: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=%280.0043+inches++2.61+inches++6.14+inches%29+*+%2844+billion+%2F+100%29
