  • My house has always lagged behind in the newest tech for one reason or another. Usually it’s because I end up adopting everyone’s old electronics, but sometimes it’s because we have old devices for kids.

    USB C is better for me because I’m no longer fumbling to connect the charger late at night. I also appreciate that the charger works for other devices, but that was common for me with micro USB. There were also devices I had that took mini USB.

    Now most of the different mini USB devices are gone, but I still have devices that need micro USB. Right not, that’s my third party Xbox controllers I inherited and use for PC games. Tandem’s T-slim insulin pump was also behind when we got them. Charging the pumps or using the controllers now means we are scrambling for an “old charger.”

  • Oof, strange that this site didn’t appear when I searched “great Sorting theory” with quotes. I know the quality of Google has gone downhill, but that’s a miss.

    Also, noting that brownstone is rated as having poorly checked facts, leans far right, and libertarian policy before I go in.

    Having skimmed the article, I see that the great Sorting theory states that COVID denialists are victims of government trod on by rules intended to keep the hospitals from overflowing.

    I see stated in the article that when we make large matters of policy, we should consider our feelings over reason and science, comparing lockdown to the atrocities of Nazi Germany and stalinist Russia.

    My reply is that all decisions should be well educated and be both logically reasoned and ethically sound. Telling people that decisions should be made emotionally and that Nazis use reason sounds like emotional manipulation.





  • Older geek here. I started with Plex and torrent. Added sonarr. Researched and switched to jellyfin. Learned about arr stack. Moved services to docker.

    It’s now super low maintenance. If I need to update a service, I just kill and recreate it. I have a second machine for media storage.

    I think I spent a weekend building the arrstack and I have a few days total working on the home made NAS.




  • I think this is a good conversion to have. I enjoy images of women, but everyone doesn’t. I also don’t feel it’s fair to compare these images to porn and play morality police.

    It makes sense to break NSFW into a handful of tags and allow more granular control. The problem historically was that the number of tags kept growing and became hard to classify.

    The number of tags wouldn’t be much of an issue, but then it comes down to the OP to tag appropriately. Even with generic NSFW filter turned on, I still occasionally see genitals in my feed.

    We could allow users to tag, but I see brigading and other abuses possible here. Appointing power users also might work, but that has its own list of issues. That also would mean that all this information would need to synch with the post.
