Interesting username. Are you a fellow student of Internet Comment Etiquette?

I know at least some of my containers use Postgres. Glad to know I inadvertently might have made it easier on myself. I’ll have to look into the users for the db and db containers. I’m a bit lost on that. I know my db has a username and pass I set in the docker compose file and that the process is running with a particular GID UID or whatever. Is that what your talking about?

I miss this from cloud hosting. It’s helpful to be able to save, clone, or do whatever with the current machine state and easily just flash back to where you were if you mess something up. Might be too much to set up for my current homelab though. My server does have btrfs snapshots of everything directly in grub which has let me roll back a few big screwups here and there.

Yeah, I don’t care if they invent a paywall that jumps out of the screen and gives me a top notch scalp massage. I don’t do paywalls.

If we’re gonna let them on the road, I say that software should get points just like a driver, but when it gets suspended all the cars running that software get shut down.

I hate how VPN access is the scaffolding holding the building up making things look normal. You can visit all your normal web sites, you can bypass georestrictions, you can be a little less tracked than you might otherwise be. But what happens when they decide to do away with that scaffolding and we all find out they tore down the house behind it while we were enjoying “normalcy”. Too much of making the web functional depends on vpns and adblocking. We shouldn’t have to do this stuff and Chromes adblocking scandle should impact millions of users all around the world unilaterally removing adblocking from the web. I fear for the day we have a US only internet and a global internet, not just on paper, but in actual practice.

I agree. Not having access on my terms is absolutely a deal breaker for me and could cause me to stop doing business with a company.

Right. This shouldn’t be about restricting children; but rather, this should be about restricting corporation’s bad behaviors. It’s also not just children that are impacted. Mining online dopamine-junkies for data by placing money extractors right on their weak spots is unethical, like selling someone crack, or phone scamming the elderly.

Can we do this in the same bill as the popup spikes that take out your tires if you stop across the crosswalk? The guided RPGs replacing red light cams can wait a little longer.

I managed to get KOReader on my Grandpa’s old Kindle. One device has now entertained two people for what is likely a decade or two of combined service.

So I rode it from Waterpark to Wesfield and later from Broad Ripple to White River Park and the trail was 99% non-sketchy in the daytime in my assessment. I could see some sketchy areas one or two blocks back from the trail, but the trail has seemingly gentrified the blocks immediately adjacent in a lot of spots. The area just before Mass Ave where it runs next to the freeway is in need of some landscaping work but also didn’t feel sketch.

My biggest takeaway is that Indy traffic engineers slept through the lesson on right of way. The signs say to stop, but the cars usually stop for you. It’s ambiguous and dangerous and I think there is potential for improvement.

Thanks for weighing in so I didn’t go in blind.

That was my first thought. How do you keep it cold enough to run in a place like Arizona, Spain, or Mexico? It also reminded me of my Windows Mobile days before I had a smartphone when someone on a Windows Mobile forum took a Dell Axim x51v and built a dock for it that exposed all the ports so he could use it with an external display as an infotainment/nav system. He called it the Aximizer. An old android phone with a micro-hdmi port might be the modern equivilant.

That sounds very reasonable. I like to see monthly and weekly ticket options that even a visitor could sign up for. Every city could expand their transit reach by an extra few miles with a good bike share. That could translate to a huge area increase for transit coverage. I’d hate to see the option to bring your own bike be removed from busses and trains though. Bike share bikes can be like Russian Roulette.

In this case, I’d be visiting for a week or two a few times a year. But Craigslist/FB Marketplace/pawnshop bikes are looking like a good value. Definitely not opposed to big box bikes though as I have destroyed many over the years.

I saw that one. Wasn’t it a newer Android version too instead of an ancient one like most of Boox’s stuff?

I’m not super familiar with the area, though I’ve been in Indy and the surrounding cities towns a handful of times always with very little time to actually explore by bike. I’ve also seen Carmel mentioned in regards to their roundabouts. I’m doing some research on how I can make that happen best without bringing a bike on a plane. I don’t want to take Carmel bikes out of their area, so I may use them to explore the Monan further north and figure something else out for going towards Indy.

Its just one of many terms used to differentiate a non-ebike. I like muscle bike because while acoustic/electric bike is funny and clever, acoustic implies something to do with sound.

I wish popular cell phones would offer an eink option. I know there are 1-2 phones out there, but they always seem to be on some ancient version of Android.

Went through and verified that a number of things were backing up and updating correctly. I feel a little less weight on my shoulders knowing things are working as they should.

Good for them. If it works, it works. I wouldn’t connect it to the internet though.

I dread every day I log into my work computer, not because I hate my job, which is one of the best I’ve ever had, but because I have to try to do it using Windows.
