My elderly neighbor needed a computer to do accounting, I set her up with Mint on a T430 w/ LibreOffice and told her I'd giver her free support till the laptop died.

5 years on and the only time I've had to fulfill my side of the bargain was when her printer was out of paper and she couldn't find her eye glasses to read the error message.

In what reality is there any need for a door-hook camera

maybe for when the police illegally raid, eat your lemon pound cake, steal your money and fuck up your visible cameras?

just because YOU can't think of any use other than creepy doesn't mean the rest of us are so afflicted.

yeah that URL is terrible, I use ionos in germany for a lot of domain name reg, maybe they will suit your needs too.

I'm self hosting a mastodon instance (my 1st ruby on rails and wholy fucking shit is that bloated compared to django) and it took a while for my instance to get into the federation, now I see all kinds of fun stuff and have total control

I've run into some issues with federation posts filling the /media directory but it seems to have been sorted out now.

if you have questions DM me and I might be able to help, I'm writing code for the next 4 hours and really want to do ANYTHING else...

Garcia said he doubts Wheeler will ever be prosecuted, since no attempt has been made to extradite her from Colorado, and he was told by the D.A.’s office any arrest warrant filed would only include immediately surrounding states, which doesn’t include Colorado.

Steal $767k and bounce one state over and there's no penalty other than "don't go back to Texas".... neato

I had a similar, we'd kept an IRC channel open for years, then he went off the deep end with conspiracies and I cut contact. I miss my friend but that friend was a chill software geek, not the rage addicted lunatic who took his place.
