They’ve been anti-open source for a while, they clearly don’t see a profit motive without killing off their open source side. Anyone selfhosting or into open source should consider MinIO dead, and migrate. Hopefully someone forks it.

Yes. I grew up that way. In the rural midwest, raised by a single hyper religious mother who probably has some sort of mental thing. She just completely turned herself off from pop culture. I think the latest movie she watched was made in the 60s, and I was born in the nineties. I grew up not knowing any movies, movies stars, music, or anything.

It hurt me deeply because all of my friends would talk about new movies and their favorite actors, and I had to learn how to fake it. They would say did you see so and so and I’d chuckle like I knew who they were talking about.

I remember one birthday asking her for movies, just any popular movies, I didn’t even know what to ask for. She got me three, and I remember the newest made one was Tora Tora Tora! Admittedly a decent film, but I was so hurt by it, made decades before my time. What middle school friend would want to come over and watch it with me?

Only as an adult did I realize it wasn’t anything like age ratings or holding me back for religion, she truly had shut herself off from the world. She wants absolutely nothing to do with the world. When I got into Lord of the rings finally I watched the films, and read the books cover to cover multiple times and loved them. I carried them around school, had every line memorized (and still watch them annually). I wanted so badly to share them with someone, and asked her so many times to watch them with me, but she never once did. Doesn’t even know the plot.

Eventually I just gave up. Christmas a couple years ago I had pirates of the Caribbean on in the background just while cooking and she asked us to turn it off because it was “too scary”. I didn’t know how to respond to it. I just… Turned it off. She then sat playing on her phone while we all just did things quietly.

When I met my now spouse we started watching everything. I watched braveheart and gladiator within the last couple of years. Big film buff now, and love following actors careers and comparing performances. Its a ton of fun!

I’m apathetic towards my mother for a lot of reasons, but I don’t think she fully knows how much she hurt our relationship with it. There’s a lot more, but you have to show an interest in what your children like. She didn’t. If she didn’t understand it or she if it didn’t involve her, she would walk out of the room. Now she wonders why we don’t get together often, or why I don’t talk much to her. I’ve gone to sewing things with her, quilting, other things trying to reach out to her and express interest in what she likes, but it never went reciprocated, so the branch has withered.

She’s always welcome for movie night though.

Thanks for reading

You’re just writing case over and over.

CASE!

my favorite is their mumps episode

Also the Florida episode.

I do live heavy weighty breasts

Just researched B99 and he had so many great moments, and he was absolutely perfect in the role. I read this thread thinking on each name “yeah him, felt sad about them”. Andre here though, yeah that hurts deep

The few things he got to do were all spectacular. Fuck Chrysler for making the shitty vehicle that ended up killing him.

I haven’t heard that term in decades and I immediately recognized it. God so stupid, and so brainwashed I was

I admit, I have no idea what the mirror is for

I remember one of those videos which more or less boiled down to “the human eye is so complex that there is no way that it couldn’t have been created.”

Wasn’t until I was older that I thought, hey wait a minute. Other animals see way better than us, and there are many animals that see worse kind of proving the whole trial and error thing, and then you also realize we need corrective lenses because our vision fails and there are cataracts and lazy eyes and colorblind and then blind people. Maybe it’s not such perfect creation after all but instead a bunch of trial and error over millions of years

Soon as you start thinking like they do its already over. I went down that path. It’s a looooong road to get back out. Male lonliness epidemic is by and large self inflicted.

I don’t understand, I think of them as lesser, judge them, get angry at them for not being like pornstars, and yet no one wants to date me!

Self reflection time for all of them.

In most cities a block really does make a difference. Where I am I wouldn’t feel afraid if I forgot to lock the door one night. I think it’s weird not to now (having a woman in the house opened my eyes to a lot of new horrors I never once had to worry about).

However, if I went 15 blocks in one direction or another, damn right I’d be sure to turn the car around to make sure I locked the door.

Uh no, sorry, it is MUCH cheaper in Europe for food. Groceries, Restaurants, food kiosks, everything over there was cheaper than here. Made with more real food too. We’re getting scammed here.

What you point out is accurate. I was raided Christian, and a huge thing I have learned is that there is a massive difference between the bible and what the church preaches. Organized religion is the thing that is normally talked about in discussions like this, but the bible itself is fairly straightforward. Love one another. Be a good person. Don’t scorn or judge others. The church added all the extra crap to it.

This how stupid is the best advice. Setting up my instance was easy. Learning how liable I was for what others put there was something completely different.

That’s why whenever I see another 2 day account looking for “free speech” and “no moderation” my answer is always “sure, you go host it then!” I’m not going to jail because you want to say horrible shit.

So what you didn’t want to read the rest of that and just jumped to insulting me? I’ll never be ashamed of learning new information and adjusting my views.

Son look up all of the other comments that said that and also where I responded to it already.

I really enjoyed Gifable, a self-hosted gif library. It was great, albeit a bit feature light. About 3 years ago the maintainer stopped maintaining and went AFK, nothing to be heard of then. I’ve since forked it, and I’ve been working on some new features to hopefully bring it up to speed. (Things like S3 storage, using AI image captioning to auto-caption your memes, categories, and hopefully full matrix integration), but it’s a slog.

That’s fair. I’m hoping with how assholeish they are being we can have a hard fork soon. Requires maintainers I know, but I can dream

First I asked it how to create a dump file. I hooked up ADB debugging to my phone, then used the scooter’s app as normal, with the logging turned on in Android developer tools. It created a very long and complex dump file of hex that I could not understand.

However, then I had Claude get to work. I describe that in that I had opened the scooter’s app, and turned it on, paused a few seconds, then turned it off and closed the app. It started attempting to mimic the commands through the computer’s local bluetooth device, to get a successful response. Eventually, after something like 20 attempts it found a hidden clue that was basically a pattern that it had detected, and it was able to finally get an ACK from the scooter. Something I would have never been able to do. From there we have a plan on how to map out all of the other commands, but it was a huge win for the day.

God its hard to remember but yes all of those were said completely seriously, not a drip of sarcasm or tongue in cheek. Now it’s hard thinking that anyone would say tubular without being completely ironic

Personally it’s what I use them for the most. I do not have the time to reverse engineer arbitrary things like this. I have a scooter that uses Bluetooth BLE which has no connectivity beyond that. I’ve been using Claude to help reverse engineer the protocol to hopefully get a home assistant integration up and running.

Claude can see things I can’t, patterns in hex that are coming back, I send in results from wireshark and it can try ad neaseum to try and get something working. Right now it’s about half working. When I have time I’ll keep plugging away. Then hopefully other people will be able to use it, and we can have one less vendor locked in device
