Both spellings are correct as far as I’m aware. Like how we call it the metric system and not système international d’unités, you can translate terms into your native language if desired.

If you want to be pedantic, do it elsewhere, because I honestly do not give a single shit.

Hopefully the Canadian ban is successfully challenged. It pretty clearly violates kids’ Charter rights and is a total privacy infringement on adults, too.

Metric ton (1000 kg), not imperial/long ton (2240 lbs) or US/short ton (2000 lbs).

Yeah, my education is in electrical engineering and industrial automation. I’ve grown up using computers and like to learn, but I’ve never had any formal education on the subject except for high school programming classes, an intro CS course using Scheme, and a Python 3 bootcamp on Udemy. Everything else that I know is just from hands-on experience and using a search engine.

For hosting services and managing my domain, only a basic understanding is necessary, so I don’t feel held back by it. I do wish that I could contribute to my favourite projects, though.

I know, dude. It’s an inside joke with a friend, if you care.

Either way, like under $2000 would have bought them the storage necessary to keep these backups on-site. They still would’ve needed another backup solution for redundancy purposes, but this wouldn’t be the huge issue it seems to be now, where the data is sort of in limbo.

I’m not completely wrong, it’s a joke! Isn’t it funny how I got all of my facts incorrect? Upvotes, please!

No, but if you separately pay me $15/month, I’ll post in a different community every day about how you’re paying them €10/month.

Tatarstan is on the opposite side of Russia, by the way. Where many ethnic minorities live, such as those that the name implies, the Tatars.

Interesting target on part of the Ukrainian miitary since it’s generally just civilians in the area.

I mean… you could just ignore it.

It’s both. Is it that hard to believe that the second-rate students might need something the first-rste students don’t have (like English proficiency or knowledge of American industry) in order to stay competitive?

He’s already been linked to childhood animal abuse, so it didn’t even take 10 years. Someone who worked for his school (I forget who exactly) spoke about it a few years back.

I’ve had a job where the whole thing was removing dirt and nails from demolished barn boards. Genuinely zero skill involved, just a lot of time spent doing the same thing.

I guess you need eyes and hands? And the ability to show up. Those don’t feel much like skills though.

If you didn’t learn anything from a TIL post, you can just keep scrolling. I didn’t know this fact and I was on Reddit for 6 years, until the API crap. Karma isn’t real; if you have a concern about the community’s quality, message a mod.

Are you only allowed to post a link once or something?

So a few podcast apps support a service called gPodder, which provides cross-device syncing of subscriptions and episode progress, but the gPodder servers are slow and often time out, rendering the service useless.

oPodSync is essentially a drop-in replacement for gPodder. My use case is that I listen to podcasts on both my desktop and my phone, and I want episodes to be seamlessly accessible on both devices without having to manually do anything.

It’s very resource-light, so if you have any interest in podcasts at all it’s another piece of cool tech that gives you more control over your data. I used to use Player.FM, which is still a cool app, but I was paying them $13/year for a small handful of premium features I didn’t really think were worth that much.

Yeah, no worries if they’re not all useful to you. I still do the actual updates manually, Diun just tells me when to do them so I don’t have to routinely check project pages or follow an RSS feed.

Ah, cool. Thanks for the additional info. I never kept up with Watchtower since Diun fit my needs. I’ll check out Degoog; I don’t mind several hundred line config files though, I usually go through all of the config/env settings prior to setting up a new service.

You could look into:

• SearXNG (aggregated search engine)
• Mealie (recipe collection & meal planning)
• CryptPad (replaces Google Drive)
• oPodSync (gPodder-compatible podcast syncing server)
• Sure or Actual (personal finance tracking)
• Diun or Watchtower (container update tracker; IIRC Watchtower auto-updates by default, Diun does not)

Thanks for posting, I gotta add the random facts to my Glance dashboard now.

I’m not convinced that landlords’ collusion to fix the cost of rent is the “careful calculation” that you’re describing. From my perspective, it’s quite the easy choice for them to extract more money instead of less money.

I only potentially benefit from an overall market reduction in rent (which rarely occurs) if I move to a new apartment because they refuse to negotiate a lease renewal at a lower rate.
