So this one isn't necessarily about the poverty and struggle, but it definitely feels like a character in the life of the main protagonist: Blue Ruin

(action/suspense film, but mc lives in a car)

I'm a bit paranoid about neighbors stealing it. I live in a place where most people vote the way I do, but I'm still anxious about people just being assholes, or thinking I look like a conservative (I get it, I kinda do) even though I'm not.

I still mail mine in though, I just try to put it in my mailbox an hour before the carrier is gonna arrive to pick it up. Plus, I am subscribed to an email system that tells me when they get it.

None of these things are true? OP is a dumbfuck.

  • It's not communism. There is simply no scarcity, and therefore no need to manage distribution of resources.
  • Federation officers are bound by the dress requirements of the job they freely chose. They are shown, many times, deciding to quit that life and do something else instead, and are usually supported for doing so. (This act is almost always accompanied by an immediate change in the way they dress.) Anyone not working for the Federation is shown wearing whatever tf they want; as are federation officers when they're off-duty.
  • Food is synthetic but you're certainly not required to eat it, and characters are shown craving it for how good it is, so it's CLEARLY not flavorless. Many of voyager's subplots revolve around having more replicator rations, or getting more.
  • "Free will is forbidden" ok did you just make this up while you were jerking yourself off?
  • "All humans are automatons" this must have been something you shouted as you came

Maybe, I don't know enough about him, but I will say this: Nobody fits my definition of "people who work hard" better than Euler.

When someone says "He's an unbelievable genius," I now understand that the person speaking is either a con artist or a gullible idiot. Unbelievable geniuses don't exist, there's just specialists, people who get lucky, people who work hard. So if you're saying someone is such a genius, either you have no metric by which to measure genius, or you're selling something.

“I think Cullen made the Satoshi accusation for marketing. He needed a way to get attention for his film.”

Cullen is absolutely selling something: he's selling his documentary.

The various denials and deflections from Todd, [Cullen] claims, are part of a grand and layered misdirection.

Smells 100% like bullshit. I had no take on this documentary one way or the other before, but now I'm very skeptical.

Interesting. I also had only the vaguest impression of the person pushing the ball, but I definitely caught a glimpse before the ball rolled off the table. Slacks and a blue shirt, that was about it.

With as much bad faith antisocial sociopathic shit Mark Zuckerberg has done, I truly don't understand why anyone would use anything associated with meta. He's Elon Musk with more experience at being.. that.

Bluesky isn't going to be the savior of social media, but with the death of Cohost it's the least bad option available.

This is gospel truth.

They don't care about you. They don't even want you as a subscriber, you're a pain in the ass. Most people are too tired and not tech savvy enough to pirate. A lot of those will eventually do something else, too, but they can cram ads into the streams faster than those people can find the wherewithal to leave.

In short, this is profitable, and no amount of raging will make it less so. Take care of yourself, but don't pretend you're making line go down.

I highly doubt they did anything remotely like "hacking" the seed phrase. I don't care for cryptocurrency, but I hate cop bullshit even more, so here's my 2 cents.

or just found it written somewhere in the house?

this one.

A seed phrase is just an encoding of a long binary number which can be used to derive the secret key. Trying all the possibilities probably isn't possible, and I think it's also unlikely that they found a way to weaken it. What they probably did is find it and type it in. They DID raid the dude's house, where he was probably keeping a copy of it.

"Twenty or thirty years ago, police did not hack, that was not a thing that they did, but that's very much part of the bread and butter of a modern police force nowadays," Mr Uren said.

LMAO fuck off with this. I don't doubt they have some tech guys on hand. I don't think they have access to the quantum computer you'd need for this.

I don't care for a lot of what Apple does, but there's no denying they understand how to make money--and how to avoid losing it.

 

I'm an immich user, switching from a standard u/p login to an SSO-based login.

I've tested the SSO login successfully, it seems to work, and I'm not having any issues with that.

However, the account generated by SSO login has a different email address and identifiers from the account I created earlier. I don't want to start from scratch with my photos, as I've spent countless hours updating metadata.

I think I need one of the following:

  1. a supported, tested way to merge an account with another account. I don't know if this is going to be similar to the "partner sharing" feature. I don't want to simply share the photos, I want to have full control over them; including, if I delete a photo, it's gone forever.
  2. a tested way to manually update the database to change all identifiers over to the new account
  3. a way to login to the existing account via my SSO portal. I can create any SSO user I want, for example.
  4. a way to export the entire library with metadata and re-import it to the new SSO account, structured exactly the same way. Ideally this would also restore anything ML has done with my photos, but it's not a disaster if I have to wait for ML to recreate what it already did in the new account.

Does anyone have information on how to achieve one of the above?

Followup question:

  • can anyone confirm with certainty that metadata changes I made in immich have been saved in the image files in /library/upload/*? I am already making backups (both pg_dump and the entire contents of the library), but it would be nice to know where the metadata is actually kept, in case I have to do DR.

I've been on Tidal for years, but it's frustrating to use for lots of reasons (they only pay their artists slightly better than Spotify, streaming services are flaky, works poorly with my DLNA home speakers). I'm looking for something I can selfhost with the following features, and I would appreciate any suggestions in this direction:

  • integrates with downloading services (nzbget and qbittorrent; or better yet prowlarr)
  • has a suggestions/radio/mix feature, or integrates well with something that does. I currently use jellyseerr for other kinds of media, so something in that vein.
  • has a mobile app which lets me download all the tracks I want, or integrates with one that does. Big bonus points if the mobile app can play to DLNA speakers.

A bit about my lab:

  • Proxmox-based, lots of VMs and containers on 2 different cluster nodes. Lots of underprovisioned RAM in the cluster. Nodes run Fedora and I'm partial to quadlets, but I can convert anything to a quadlet if I need to.
  • Airvpn port tunneling is available to me.

TIA!
