Part of my reason for self-hosting is not to have what I’m watching tracked, but I did use the Trakt trending list to discover new content. Now, their website doesn’t show the trending list without an account, so I can’t be bothered with Trakt now.
I should not have laughed so hard at that. I’m a horrible person.
I decided against Backblaze for server backups because they charge for certain API calls, and I ended up exceeding the quota when I was testing with the free tier. I was experimenting with encrypted backups and not sure how I exceeded it, but it really put me off that I could potentially have a surprise bill from experimenting without exceeding my storage quota. I went with iDrive e2 specifically because they don’t have API fees and it has worked fine the last couple years. My storage utilization has grown and I’ve been charged extra, which is expected, whereas API calls would be harder to predict depending on what I do in a given month. For self-hosting, I want easy, predictable pricing and don’t want to deal with surprise bills. It’s enough of a chore to manage cloud spend at work without it being a headache at home too.
I first heard pizzle in Kingdom Come Deliverance: “Are you pulling my pizzle?”
I wouldn’t put it past the US government to pull some shenanigans, and I certainly wouldn’t rule out the possibility that some aspect of it was a lie. That being said, I have yet to see any evidence that it was faked that isn’t simply a misunderstanding of the science.
I find myself on the phone trying to spell something and come up with words that begin with each letter. Agreed that it’s a solved problem and everyone should just learn it.

TIL that glacier ice is considered a type of mono-mineralic rock: https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/glacier-ice-a-type-rock
But SLS uses Space Shuttle engines and that landed in a runway.
As I was filing my taxes, I was just thinking about the video someone posted here recently where military weapons were firing and it was racking up huge sums as shots were fired. All the US citizens on Lemmy paying taxes amounts to a few air to air missiles.
I thought it was a stereogram, but alas nothing popped out at me.
Edit:
Maybe more like this with stubby legs and a long neck?
Turdminal velocity is an important consideration.

procrastination is not primarily about laziness or poor time management. At its core, procrastination is an emotional regulation problem, deeply rooted in fear
I suppose an empty hand gesture is about all the sociopaths in the c-suite can muster as far as conveying human-like emotions.
I would’ve assumed it would be made from plexiglass.
Just watched the video. It’s hilarious that it breaks the glass, pauses for a few awkward moments, bats its eyes, backs up, then just sits there batting its eyes.
There’s a kid’s book called Positive Ninja where the advice is to reframe situations using the word yet. As in, I haven’t been successful in accomplishing this yet. With this kind of positive thinking going around, those robots better have a care. 😉
I know people who lied about having a degree, could do the job, and never got caught. I suppose speed running a degree from a degree mill yields a similar level of education, except with a piece of paper.
