Adding to this: All politicians will always go where they think the votes are. Of course there’s some nuance to this. Trump doesn’t think he has a chance in Hell of winning a state like NY or CA. Sure, he’ll do some appearances, but everyone knows it’s a lost cause. Same w/ Harris and the red flyover states. But if polling shows there are votes to be had and the campaign is willing to “shift” their stance, they will go after it. Every. Time.

I keep seeing people post and/or suggest on Lemmy that the US is overall more liberal than our national representation would suggest. If that’s the case, why is the national polling still so damn close!? If I’m not mistaken, national polling reflects the hypothetical popular vote - i.e., no Electoral College bullshit. I even got into a pretty good discussion not too long ago over how voters can pull the Democratic party back to the left - by holding their collective nose and voting for the “left” candidate and holding the party’s feet to the fire if they keep sliding right. At this point, any vote that isn’t for Harris helps Trump get reelected. Regardless of what anyone thinks will happen in a Harris administration, we all pretty much know what will happen in a second Trump term.

Yes, the Dems have been pulled to the right by the GOP and the nature of the Electoral College, but an argument can be made that they’ve been pushed as well by apathetic, otherwise liberal, voters not voting. I get it. Every time I walk in the ballot box, there’s a growing part of my brain that wants to vote for the craziest MF’er on the ballot in the hopes that all this nonsense will just burn down so we can start over. So far, the other side of my brain is still winning that argument. I did not enjoy voting for Biden. I won’t enjoy voting for Harris. I didn’t really enjoy voting for Obama the second time. But I’ll still do it because the alternatives (including the “burn-it-down” one, for now) are worse.

Just reread you comment and I guess it’s the network that will cause issues. To be clear, I think I can make the cloudflare portion work one way or another (I have a second domain i can use if necessary). If my thinking is correct the tailnet communication would be over that IP space - not trying to route to my LAN net. Unless I’m missing something.

So I learned today that I need to play with the conflate tunnel if I want two systems using one domain. I’m hoping a second api key will help. Honestly, until I tested the second server on the tunnel, that’s been rock solid. Or are you saying using both networks will inject flakiness?

Also, I appreciate the suggestion of clustered with, but none of this is mission critical. If it’s down until I can login/fix, I’m ok with that. Only a 2-3 people using it.

Agreed. I’m not much of a coder, so the best contribution I can give is probably $$. At least until I get off my ass and learn something new!

True, it’s a good percentage, and probably better than most free software. That said, given the communities the self hosted apps support, their excitement for the products, and for some the essential nature of some of these apps, it would be nice to see the yes/no number more 50/50 at least.

I think this is pretty troubling. Including myself in the sentiment that the self-hosting community needs to do better. Aside from funding individual projects, are there any organizations that help fund self-hosting projects?

I mean they are. So is the US. Problem is, Russia started it, so they don’t get to complain about “finding out!”

Since ,my company are such sticklers about not going over our daily meal limit while on travel, and have as yet ignored our requests to just do per diem or use the total from the trip, I often purchase gift cards to fill out an underspent day on travel. An Apple Card or something for some restaurant where my wife likes to get lunch.

I mean I thought that, but then the Canadians and Marylanders showed up with their freakish abominations!

I don’t like using straws. Plus, it’s a salted rim - meant to pick up some salt when drinking the drink. Honestly, though, kind of surprised you’re the first person to point it out. I means, it’s right there in the picture!

Sort of? It’s a mini-baster with some Worcestershire in it. Waitress said enough customers don’t like it that they just use that. I, personally like it in there.

I’m not a fan of it either. The rims are too thick to pick up the salt, and there’s not enough diameter to get enough salt for the whole drink. Plus, the curve from the jar to the rim makes it hard to get all of the drink without getting hit in the face by the remaining ice. Just a terrible cocktail glass.

This is going to be a movie, and Tom Cruise will play this guy.

Unless, or course…

Agreed. One thing I’ll give him credit for, though, is his willingness to let others have fun with it. From Robot Chicken to Mel Brooks, he’s been pretty decent with letting folks parody it. He has to have heard about the community surrounding 4k77, and AFAIK there’s been no legal action. All of this is especially Impressive considering Disney’s the one protecting the IP nowadays!

Beyond that, yeah I agree with you.

I stumbled on it during the pandemic. My wife said she wanted to watch all the movies in story order. I was not looking forward to it for so many reasons! When I found this, it started me down a rabbit hole. All the various compilations people have put together is really amazing, and the 4k## stuff, to me, kind of refutes Lucas’ excuses for not releasing the same thing himself. He’s always said he couldn’t do the original film justice because the original film stock is damaged and/or missing. Then this small group of people come along, find something on eBay, and basically do what the fans have been asking for!

A wake-up call that will be, once again, acknowledged with the snooze button.

Check out 4k77. When the crawler starts, I still get a tiny chill. It just says “Star Wars.”

No watch, they’ll remove it and suddenly find .5 seconds/lap performance!

Wow, you ordered that!? So out of curiosity, what other kind of pie did they offer? Or you y’all like, “No Nutella pie!? Never mind then. Good day to you!”
