That’s because the apparatus described above uses roughly 20% of total caloric intake despite only making up about 2% of body weight.

This also changes through the lifespan. For infants it’s more like 60% of caloric intake

This is a good point. Home assistant is not going to work for your application

Check your shit then bc it’s a long page with docker containers and venv distributions, blog, about, sources, etc.

That said I don’t know this project. I do know home assistant though. If you want voice control at home that is secure use that. You can use their hardware or different hardware. The important thing is voice commands can be processed entirely locally, eg without internet access.

My iot setup, including voice commands, is restricted to a physical switch that has no internet access and itself is on an isolated vlan. I can view cameras remotely by forwarding the service through headscale, which is only turned on when necessary. It’s not a perfect system, nothing is, but it’s essentially airgapped when I am home and I do not have to worry about “cloud servers” with rogue employees that look at unencrypted data (which is sold as encrypted but often only encrypted in transit but unencrypted at rest so they can sell you out to the cops) or lazy cybersecurity staff that leave gaping holes in their massive targets for ransomware attacks or whatever

At first this wouldn’t load and was just the spinning thing but a bit longer than normal, probably because of some network issue on my part, but I thought for a bit that you had really expertly trolled me.

I mean the meme is good too, iap and subscriptions dumb (it would also absolutely have obtrusive ads) but man that would’ve been great

Sure but the claim is “for profit healthcare is bullshit”. In America disability claims are the one part of the healthcare system that is actually socialized and paid by the state (speaking generally, unless we get into the ugly nuances of short term disability which is usually paid by private insurers tbf but my assumption for something like adhd which is a lifelong disability they’re discussing something like SSDI)

It’s literally about filing a disability claim

This isn’t about health care but disability services and social welfare but sure

An attempt at translating that’s maybe better than machine translation with help from deepl:

Thank you very much for your continued support of Inugami Korone. Due to sudden circumstances, I (the manager) am reaching out on her behalf.

Inugami Korone will be taking a break from streaming activities for a while in order to focus on caring for a family member who is recuperating. As for when she will resume her activities, we will discuss it with her and make an announcement at a later date.

In the meantime, there may be occasions when pre-recorded videos or other content are posted on her behalf.

Korone is sincerely looking forward to the day she can meet with all her fans again, so we would greatly appreciate it if you could continue to watch over her warmly. (Posted by her manager on her behalf)

It works fine with whatever. Western comics, novels, textbooks, whatever you want. Komga supports epub/pdf/cbz/zip/cbr etc.

It only becomes a pain if you want to automatically scrape metadata. This isn’t directly supported in komga but there’s another project, komf, that directly interfaces with the komga api and will scrape metadata providers to populate. I have multiple libraries because as far as I know this really only gracefully works with manga. It can sometimes work okay with western comics via scraping gocomics but it’s a crapshoot and if your library is large it’s definitely not a good idea to let it cook. It has no support for fiction/nonfiction stuff like goodreads or whatever so I have those in yet another library. I don’t know of a metadata provider for textbooks (Amazon? Libgen? Wikipedia?) so yet another.

But manga works great. And metadata aside all my books work and I can read them from whatever device, ereader, phone, laptop, etc. komga itself has a built in reader so if it has a browser I’m good but mihon or whatever tachiyomi fork I can use (like Tachimanga for iOS devices, though that has iap to unlock stuff like tracking and no ads (though adblocking works), gross) is preferable

Install komga, populate it with content (tip: use komf to automatically scrape sites like manga updates for content similar to how Jellyfin scrapes thetvdb), install the komga extension in mihon, point it at your server, profit.

It can even sync read history between the server and device if you configure it as a tracker as well.

https://komga.org/docs/guides/mihon/

https://mihon.app/docs/guides/tracking#enhanced-services

The documentation isn’t super well done so you’ll have to make some leaps of faith but it’s pretty simple to figure out if you can figure out stuff like Jellyfin transcoding. The hardest part to set up is komf, which is optional (though it does make it look much nicer, like you’re browsing mangadex or whatever. Just make sure you don’t point komf at libraries with novels or western comic books or whatever bc it sucks at scraping those).

Also if you setup komf there’s a tampermonkey script that gives you gui control of the setting in the komga ui, very handy, but not strictly necessary

*hundreds of millions, net worth 280 million

This sucks, been using mihon on my ereader pretty much since tachiyomi died. Excellent app that improves on it’s predecessor in pretty much every way and I don’t even use it for piracy directly, I have a komga server that I read from (which tbf is filled with pirated content lmao though I do sometimes buy raws for niche stuff that’s not like chainsaw man).

Best client app around though, imo. Hope they navigate this successfully

Puts on nvidia and palantir is what he bought, basically, with palantir:nvidia at 8:2 ratio so he has far more confidence palantir will blow up (in a bad way).

Note that if you don’t know what this means, or if your only knowledge of “buy puts” is buying them via an app like robinhood, keep in mind you don’t know nearly enough about the risk involved and this could blow up in your fucking face real bad.

Especially in the unlikely scenario AI crashes extremely hard (eg palantir goes to 0) and you have a naked put - using today’s closing price of $190 if you chose a strike of $180 your max profit is $285 per contract but your max theoretical loss is like 18,000 per contract if it drops to 0 (again, unlikely, but a more realistic scenario wherein it drops to say, $150 - you’re out almost $3k per contract). With a naked put your goal is for the price to hit the target, basically, so the closer to 180 the better (without dipping below) and this wouldn’t be a good idea for what you’re asking, but just an example of how the wrong play could lose you tons of money. A naked call goes the other way and as a result can be infinite loss. Retail investors (ie you) have lost six figure sums playing with this, life ruining shit, avoid avoid avoid

Options that are safer if you don’t want to get this involved in what is ultimately literal gambling: take a degree of separation. Instead of puts directly on nvidia or palantir puts on qqq, xlk, aiq, or some other etf that is made up of AI bullshit. Spreads risk but limits payoff. Use the strategy this nerd used: long dated puts. Keep in mind this is more expensive up front and for the retail investor you’ll generally max out 6-12 months realistically. He did 4-5 years out but that came with additionally complexity (especially for the billions in contracts he held) which meant tens of millions in payments to secure the contracts each year, which made his investors furious (though they ended up eating shit because he made them 730 million and over 100 million for himself on top of that).

Just keep in mind that options trading has ruined many people who know what they’re doing and it’s ruined way way more who have no fucking clue but think they do (I’m in this category). For every dipshit that makes millions off of gamestop there’s probably a hundred people or more like the people from reddit that post shit like this

Don’t end up like that person. There are so many of them on reddit. They succeed with a few trades, get up 5k, 10k, 50k, then get greedy and have mad hubris and believe they’re now “elite traders” so they piss it all away, often in a handful of trades over a few days/hours because the loss causes them to panic and try to recover with foolish long shots. The sad thing is you’ll read some where it’s like “I’ve been poor my whole life and I finally got a 30k inheritance, got it to 45k” and then a screenshot like that where they pissed it all away in a day to functionally hand it to some 1%er nepo baby hedge fund manager who is worth 15 million and has never wanted for anything in their life. Then they talk about all the debt they could’ve paid off and it’s like “what the fuuuuuckkk duuuudeee”

Don’t buy naked puts and absolutely do not ever buy naked calls, which have unlimited risk, though I don’t know why you would in this scenario (or ever really). If nothing else please at least read this part.

Expiration and strike price were not shared so unclear what his play is. For reference “the big short” was about 1.3 billion in total placed in 2005-2006 with an expiration around 5 years later around 2010-2011. It was somewhat standard for burry/scion capital and possibly still is so they could be playing this assuming the bubble will pop no later than 2030 (and paying 10s of millions a year to maintain those contracts) or they possibly have data to suggest an earlier expiration is worthwhile. They obviously won’t share this and public disclosures aren’t required

Just fyi the Philips security thing does apply to the hub as well. If you care about local only access ensure your hub is on a vlan now with no internet access so it cannot capture the eventual update that will push a forced cloud connection. Philips has explicitly stated this is coming to all hue devices and that you must sign in with a “hue account”.

If you must buy them ideally buy them used so you do not directly financially support a company that is hostile to its customers

Hue is excellent from a build quality standpoint but if you value privacy or respect for consumers know that Philips is forcing consumers into a cloud model and changing the terms of service after the fact, for some people well over a decade after purchase.

In general your IOT shit should be isolated to a virtual lan that does not have internet access. As of right now if you buy hue hardware it will do this but eventually this will not work as it will require you to sign in to “Philips security” to activate and utilize lighting (you will need to maintain an active cloud connection.

The bulbs do have zigbee so you can always bypass their bridge of course but this is more complicated to setup and in my experience leads to performance that as not as solid as using the bridge. Also, the ethics of financially supporting a company that will change the TOS after sale to fuck you so they can worsen the product solely to harvest data for sale. Yuck

ugh and then self hosting people being like “just use tailscale if you want to expose your stuff to the web”. You know, the “cloud based” solution that requires you to use apple/google/microsoft for authentication. What a great idea for someone that is looking to get away from all this dumb bullshit

I agree with this. I am not self hosting for some end of days apocalypse (except I do have a whole house generator and am looking into off grid electricity, though I really missed the boat on that one haha).

It’s because literally all of these services are parasites run by scumbags. I don’t want anything to do with them. I use Jellyfin/komga because I don’t want my watch/read history sold.

I seek out local only iot devices and isolate them to a physical switch that does not have internet access, only a physical link to the pfsense box where there is an isolated vlan on their own subnet with a hard rule in the firewall to block any outbound traffic. I can still view things like cameras and home assistant remotely via headscale or even homebridge (with some added risk) but not nearly as much risk as the plethora of security issues created by lazy iot firmware developers who rarely, if ever, update their shit. But further than the massive security risks created by 500 iot devices are the massive amounts of profiling data.

I run my own apps like nextcloud and local llms because I don’t trust companies like openai and Google not to suddenly shutter products or drastically change the tos once I’ve integrated them into my workflow (plus tons of data harvesting).

I refuse to use apps and run local proxies to view paywalled news articles because I either don’t trust websites that offer this service or they capitulate to everyone that sends a cease and desist (see: 12ft.io).

Etc etc etc

It’s inescapable in the modern age and I’m so goddamn sick of it. I was talking to a family member the other day and they were signing their literal fucking infant up for daycare. The daycare is owned by private equity, because of fucking course it is. Group homes for the disabled, emergency rooms, drug and alcohol rehabs, etc have been bought up by those scum in increasing numbers over the past decade with the anticipated results (people dying, worsening outcomes, etc) so why wouldn’t they sink their disgusting claws into child and infant care?

The daycare (bright horizons, fuck them) will only send updates to parents via a proprietary app, of fucking course. Updates include pictures of their child, diaper changes, feedings, play, social time, developmental milestones, etc. both parents work so they’re sending the kid there 40 hours, it will be a lot of data - daily updates. The TOS is disgusting. Of course the company owns all the data, of course they can and will share it with third parties, of course they collect as much personal info as possible, and of course they do the bare minimum in terms of cybersecurity. Anything to drive up profits, even if it means exploiting the children you’re supposed to be serving and educating.

The worst part is that when I point this out, when I point out that COPPA exists and they can insist that an account not be made because their child is under 13 and demand an alternative, I look like the pain the ass. they know that ultimately the daycare can be like “fuck you, the app is policy, do it or no pictures”. everyone just wants it to be easy and wants pictures of their kid. And we’re so indoctrinated by tech at this point to just click “agree” and not think about it. It just fucking sucks. No one wants to be the martyr and people like me that demand to be respected are seen as assholes. Meanwhile the company that’s charging them $1600/month for childcare that’s spitting in their face to earn extra on the side with their literal infants harvested data gets a pass because “that’s what companies do I guess”.

They definitely just made an account on the app. In 10-20 years their child will probably have higher health insurance premiums because predictive modeling will have data starting from day 1 and it shows a higher risk of colorectal cancers or whatever.

I cannot stress how badly I hope for a drastic change in the next 5-10 years. This is unsustainable. The villains are winning.

Goes in waves and based on vendor. My build is based on 18tb drives and 6 months ago when a drive in my array failed my go to vendor (serverpartdeals) had no stock in that capacity. Like 0 units. Had to use my backup vendor (go hard drive) who in my experience is slightly more expensive.

Looking now spd has 18tb back in stock with several models to choose from. 10tb too but much less options (literally 2). Prices are wack nowadays - in 2023 I could get a refurb 18tb exos drive for $180 and now it’s $270-290. Fucking wild and I’m glad I built up my array when I did. It’s generally the cheapest decent option in that capacity; goharddrive has some cheaper options (Toshiba for $230, unaware of statistics for that drive, MDD for $260, rebranded exos drives so a slightly better deal but still way over 2023 prices).

That all said my array is 15 refurb drives and has been going for like 7 years now. Drive failure rate is low, 3 failures in that time. 2 drives was replaced by seagate with a brand new drive bc the spd drive still had mfr warranty left. The 3rd was an HGST that didn’t have mfr warranty but did have spd warranty and they replaced it immediately with an equivalent drive (they didn’t have more HGST at the time). That said I do worry seeing times where they are literally wiped out of stock; if I need a drive replacement I need it asap and if they have nothing on hand does that mean they hold none back for warranty replacements? Sure hope not.

Struggle to recommend them now though because the prices aren’t worthwhile. A new 18tb exos is 280-290 on amazon. Why the fuck would you buy a refurb when a new drive is only $20 more or the same price???

IMO you go to him and ask politely for him to knock it off or shut the door.

If he doesn’t then you go again and gently remind him, restating the boundary and saying something like “this is a shared workspace. If you can’t respect other people’s needs then I will need to discuss this with a mediator” or whatever.

Then escalate as appropriate.

Keep in mind some of this is on him and some of this is on you. Whistling, singing, shouting out? Bad form on his part.

“Stapling papers at full power”? Yawning? Honestly, even just saying “well!”? People exist and make noise friend, welcome to the hell of an open office, maybe get some headphones or loops if you’re that sensitive to noise?

On one hand excessive noise is unacceptable and should be reprimanded. On the other hand some noise here and there is inherent to a shared office space. Figuring out which is which is within the scope of hr so maybe tag them in but always keep in mind their ultimate purpose is to protect the company
