Been thinking of dusting off my D700, I’ve heard of DT as an alternative but just now looking at its features… jfc… I am going to have some fun.

This is to keep people safe. Only those that have taken the Banana Self Defense class are certified for consumption of these bananas.

So, I keep mentioning just Russia and Ukraine, no one else, but you keep throwing in other examples. Ummm, you’re saying DDay was the same as Russia invading Ukraine? Seems France wasn’t operating at that time as an autonomous power. Seems they were in fact occupied at that time by another country… now if Poland had invaded Ukraine and Ukraine needed saving from them, you might have a point and Russia might be seen as a rescuing force, but that’s not what happened is it? Once again, you went off track and I was fool enough to follow. Smh.

How about everyone respect the land they’ve had for decades and stop trying to rekindle colonialism? We’re talking about Russia and Ukraine and you’re bringing in other entities into the discussion? Try keeping the train on the tracks. Russia already took over Georgia and Crimea in the past 20 years, just a slow progression to reacquire the good ole Soviet Union. If countries really wanna get the band back together, they’d do so with votes or formal agreements. When foreign tanks roll across borders, any claim of a peaceful integration is a fucking lie, and is in fact a bullying, aggressive act of war.

It’s their decision of course. I hate to see them lose, and I hate that my country isn’t doing more. We made a damn promise, and when it came time to make good, we half-assed it. Not enough oil I guess. But I also don’t want to see Russia bully their way to more territory either, as that just shows the world that they are still a threat, and leads to another round of russian fear for the world.

I went for cheap, and syored away. The battery sits at the bottom of the stilt legged coup with a screwed on door to keep water and chickens out. Panel just sits on the roof. I set this all up about 2mo before wyzecam with batteries were announced. Been running ever since. This time of year this area is always cloud covered, and limited daylight. The panel is an older one, not quite as efficient as the one that runs my daytime radiator fans in the hoopouse (no battery, just a 10in and 8in radiator fan that sound like jet engines on full sunny days. I tried the camp ceiling fans but they kept burning out). Fans are mostly to help prevent mold in that one, and keep heat even during summer.

I have this one connected: https://a.co/d/0dkouiZ

Gonna add 100w solar panel works great (just not this time of year, mine picks back up around February), and get a gel battery 100ah or more. Lead doesn’t cycle as much and doesn’t like cold. A cheap charge controller with usb is all you need to power most cameras (I run two wyzecams with the panel on the top of my chicken coop to watch my driveway) Just know this time of year lacks sunlight, I might get 2 to 5 hours this time of year, with 24h later in the year.

Look up while true: learn() on Steam. I had fun with it. It gives basic ideas of coding in a fun way.

Kinda makes you wonder why we voted that food wasn’t a right three years ago huh?

This is why I can’t stand IPTV services. Piracy at home? No big deal. Lots of community, mostly free, lots of good vibes. IPTV just steals for the cash grab, and likely will rob you blind on their way out.

I would expect an investigation be done about this, but RT is no more reliable than Fox News here in the states. Not doubting the truth of the death, but war journalists know they are at risk. If a targeted attack, then those responsible should be held to account and tried.

Just years ago with Xubuntu. It may just be my use case. Seems to happen with WINE related stuff mostly, and I usually after days running. Once a week restart isn’t too painful.

It’s weird that I can play Portal 2 via Proton but Portal 2 mods crash. Also, Doom Eternal works but not via Steamlink.

I’ve been using it for 3mo now. Mostly no issues, except for installing packages without flatpak, and also the weird random slowdown to freeze (I’m assuming memory management?) I mostly use my machine for learning freecad, watxhing jellyfin, using a browser, and playing Genshin (relaxing to play while people bitch at me on my phone job)

I downloaded Photo GIMP and had very little issues doing what I needed. I’ve dabbled with PS for years mostly for editing actual photos and designing graphics, but never professionally, just as a hobby. The mod just works.

Don’t cross this line. *moves it ahead 30m.

I just don’t understand this. Try try try again, announcing it’s location each time with no expectation it will ever work. This country kills foreign journalists and the world turns a blind eye. This will eventually end with them dead, and there isn’t jack shit that will be done about it. Israel somehow has the world by the balls.

I have a Brother l8900cdw and it is a beast. Does everything well, third party toner is cheap, and I love that I can use it with Paperless to save my scans straight from the homescreen. Doesn’t make pretty pictures, but it was a panic buy during peak covid and printer shortage, and it has served well since (don’t need pictures anyhow, just text and simple graphics). Only drawback is Wake on Lan doesn’t work well, fixed by just scheduling a reboot at 10am every day.

Other drawback is my wife asking me to move it up or down 15 stairs. It sucks to pick that bastard up.

I don’t get Qatar. They have so much wealth but seem to play at weakness militarily. They could easily purchase their way to a large arsenal, and somehow never seem to need to. (Then again, I’m American and have been brainwashed to believe you need 35%+ of all taxes to go to weapons and soldiers)
