Live updates: FBI investigating apparent assassination attempt of Trump in Florida | CNN Politics
  • No, I haven't. I understand the irony of saying everyone should carry guns when in reality private citizens with guns almost never affect shooter situations, and when they do, it's most likely by getting shot or shooting someone innocent.

    What I'm saying is, the bit doesn't land if the premise makes no sense. This is a scenario where it makes no sense.

  • doesn't that render the whole question as nonsense? do you think there's an expectation (among the 2a idiots) out there that good guys with guns are immediately emptying clips at anyone who is bad and also has a gun? how would they know?

    this is the secret service's job, and they performed it. doing the "good guy with a gun" bit is so obviously out of place here, no matter what you think of guns or trump or the secret service. save it for situations where it actually makes sense.

    Would it be legal to crowdfund a licensed private detective to investigate a public figure and publish their results publicly?
  • Is this legal?

    Yes, it's called "opposition research" (frequently abbreviated "oppo") and the political parties do it constantly to one another. Because they're doing it this much, and because they have a LOT less scruples than you do, they've probably already uncovered everything you would. But maybe not all.

    In addition, doing this publicly would put the target on alert, so they'd specifically run interference against whoever you hired. This wouldn't make their job impossible, but definitely harder.

    And, finally, whatever new dirt you do manage to gather might not matter. The things Trump has done that the public already knows about should be enough to put him in prison for life, and yet he's still in the current US presidential election instead of incarceration.

    What is your favourite open source software that you discovered in the past year, that you can no longer live without?
  • Thirded. Immich has no right to be as good as it is after such a short time. Completely took down my google photos, finally, and I still have face recognition, word search and automatic backup from my phone.

    What is your favourite open source software that you discovered in the past year, that you can no longer live without?
  • My favorite thing I've done with hass is put a color-changing light bulb by my front door. It's connected to the weather forecast. I know what the weather will be at a glance without a website or going outside. (Where I live, it's not always obvious when I'm gonna get rained on.)

    Docker Raises Prices Up to 80 Percent | ServeTheHome
  • Folks, the docker runtime is open source, and not even the only one of its kind. They won't charge for that. If they tried to make it closed source, everyone would just laugh and switch to one of several completely free alternatives. They charge for hosting images, build time on their build servers, and various "premium" developer tools you don't need. In fact, you need none of this, you can do all of it yourself on whatever hardware you deem to be good enough. There are also many other hosted alternatives out there.

    Docker thinks they have a monopoly, for some reason. If you use the technology, you are probably already aware that they don't.

    The entire staff of beloved game publisher Annapurna Interactive has reportedly resigned
  • Not exactly the same. First of all, a new company hasn't formed yet and if it does it won't retain as many of the original staff because it doesn't have the same momentum as one formed through a legal separation of the companies while everyone is still employed.

    It also can't retain the rights to Stray which would have provided some funding. And it doesn't retain the rights to whatever projects they had in development, so they won't have anything to work on for a while.

    That legal spinning off was actually pretty important.

    Trump tried to push Harris into more debates. Now he's not sure he'll do another.
  • I'm enjoying the fact that, weeks ago, he tried to say she had scheduled some and her campaign's response was "we'll see how the first one goes". Which now can be read as "Maybe baby won't wanna play any more after we kick him in the nuts."

  • there’s a way to tie it back to circles

    Not necessarily circles, but conic sections. When you take a series of a fixed exponent over a variable x, and graph it, that graph is a parabola.

    A parabola is a slice through a cone. Tada, pi appears.

  • 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!

    I'm setting up with HA and zigbee smart bulbs. I've got a few automations already set up, such as turning on a bunch of lights in the morning and turning most of them off again at night.

    All these lights still have physical switches. I don't want to take those switches out for lots of reasons, and putting smart switches there seems like overkill when the bulbs are already smart. What are people doing with their physical light switches to ensure that they don't get flipped?

    Ideas I've had:

    • some kind of physical plastic covering that fits snugly around it. I'd probably do this if I had a 3d printer, but I don't. Maybe someone sells a thing like this? More just a reminder not to touch them.
    • Carefully paint the switches a different color (perhaps the HA color scheme?). Again, basically just a reminder. This especially makes sense with a few multi-switch plates where some of the connected lights are automated and some are intentionally left manual.
    • Entirely replace the plate with a smart switch? Besides incurring a nontrivial cost and being a bunch of work to install, this won't even help me with the aforementioned multiswitch plates. I don't want all my lights automated.

    Other ideas?
