I can’t see it because it can’t see me.

Without teens and boomers, social media would be dead.

Oh boy, let me tell you about the Presidential power that I'm most scared of: the President has 90 days to get Congressional approval for war. The idea being it used to take a long time to get people together to vote on things and even longer to mobilize. These days, though, you can conquer a country in under 90 days…

Provoked Gamer is pretty baller. Are you asking for a friend?

Unless I’m misunderstanding how this whole thing works, it’d depend on the instance and community, wouldn’t it? If I set up my own instance, I can setup my own rules for the communities that might start there. Those community leaders may opt to set rules stricter than the instance rules.

If you go crazy enough, you get defederated like North Korea…

I’m extremely pro-WFH for professions that can. I’ve been doing it for 10 years and it has only gotten better since others started to experience it and have empathy for what it means to be a remote worker. Just getting that out of the way before chatting more about hidden difficulties of converting buildings to residential use…

I can’t speak for European office buildings (your use of “flats” has me assuming you’re on the other side of the pond from me), but a large number of US buildings would either have to be 100% gutted back to the main supporting beams OR pulled down and rebuilt. Issue here is a combo of proper placement of utility lines (mostly plumbing) within the building and the added weight residential use brings rather than business use.

Large office leases here have a lot of control over how their floors are laid out, but floor planning normally takes electrical runs into consideration and will leave spaces like kitchens and bathrooms unmoved. Executive offices and other private interior spaces can be created/adjusted by making interior walls and tying into electrical connections already in a floor or drop ceiling.

Plumbing is a whole other monster and takes a lot more work. Not an insurmountable consideration, just harder.

The weight of residential living is one I hadn’t considered until someone pointed it out to me. In addition to all the additional plumbing needed (whose pipes add tonnage by the time you’ve converted a building), you also have to consider water within those pipes, and if a lot of people run their kid’s evening bath around 7 PM, that’s even more tonnage, normally all in a similar vertical line because of repeated floor plans. A lot of corporate buildings here, esp older ones, just weren’t engineered for that and a lot would need significant remediation to support it.

I have way less to say about the super cancers… We did use a LOT of asbestos as we built up urban areas, though.

Ah, so very similar to what Amazon did with Sidewalk a few years back. I shocked people are ok with allowing this data through their devices. Sidewalk caused a massive backlash because of privacy and data rate concerns.

I’m not a big Apple person, so I’ve not really cared about Airtags, so I’m probably missing something. If I don’t allow them to connect to my device, how are they a concern?

Edit: I realized I asked my question poorly. I get they’re a tracking device. My understanding is they’re a Bluetooth device that do not have direct Internet access on their own; how is their location being updated if you’re not pairing with them to allow them access to your device?

I don’t care about what a Trump re-election will do to the world. The civil war that happens after the fact will make it impossible for us to hear global news for years, anyway.

Fair take.

I’ve got a static IP for Truenas now with an internal DNS entry pointing directly to it for smb and another DNS entry pointing to Traefik for the web UI. Annoying to have 2 names for it and was hoping to not have to, but this may be where/how things stay.

Not all. This is all internal. I got annoyed with with insecure warnings for all the internal stuff that runs on SSL and fell down the Traefik rabbit hole after watching TechnoTim’s video on the topic.

I’m not sure that’s right, in the routers section of the Traefik docs they say…

UDP routers can only target UDP services (and not HTTP or TCP services).

Feels possible, just not widely documented. I could be completely wrong, though.
