You can buy appliances without smart features still?

Best Buy has dozens, if not hundreds, of fridges without smart features. I can buy a 18cu top freezer fridge for $450 right now.

That same type of fridge back in the 1970s cost $300-$400. Adjusted for inflation that's $2,000

So I don't get this post. You can buy cheap fridges still and it'll probably last a long time if you take care of it. Read repair reports or Google random problems for a fridge you're looking to buy to see the most common failure points and see what the repair cost would be to factor in future costs.

Stupid post.

Yeah, just a tiny 4000+ line script doesn't count as one command, I agree!

I'm lower level(sysadmin) but our devs use "AI", but it's more of algorithmic pattern matching with specific data sets we have.

We don't have a use case for it primarily.

I use it to get a rough outline for bash, python, and ansible scripts for automation. Still lots of refining and fitting things into our environment, but it's helped me tremendously get a jump start with a draft. It's like I get writer's block lol.

Using Mediawiki here.

I have obsidian and tried using it, but my personal workflow for my homelab just doesn't...work with it? Idk, it's just easier to throw it into a private wiki.

I still use obsidian but for personal life stuff.

I'm not a programmer, but I have my dotfiles and bash scripts I like to keep in private repos. I just moved my dotfiles over to Codeberg, gonna do my scripts here soon...

But been relatively painless. I can see how bigger and public projects will take some coordination and planning but...it's probably worth it?

Codeberg has been fun and simple to use, but again, I'm just a hobbyist.

Shout out to Switch and click doing a run through of different distros as well. Probably the best from a "normie" perspective IMO.

Nah I totally get where you're coming from and agree that shit can happen, I just don't care anymore I guess? I'm gonna vote how I always do and if shit happens then shit happens

I'm in Cali, so I don't know with other states.

My local registrar just has a box out front and I've dropped off ballots there at 3am before. It's locked, but it looks like a USPS envelope drop off box, but it's the registrar's. So just shove them in the slot. And then I get a text the following day or two saying it's been collected and counted.

No one checks anything. I've even gone one time where it was drive-through style and I just rolled my window down and gave them to one of the dozen or so poll workers.

As long as the envelope is sealed and signed properly by the voter, I don't see a reason it'd be contested. And when it all gets counted if there's a discrepancy then it'll get flagged and that individual who signed it will be contacted.

Been doing the drop offs for years now, for all elections. Never had a problem.

At 3am? 12pm? 7pm? 8am? They're going to be there 24/7?

Because I got all of the time in the world

That's cool, I'll just bring all dozen ballots from my family to the local registrar office drop off. No USPS involved.

Thanks for the warning Trump!

I just add the official launcher as a non-steam game and ran through the install as normal.

Granted I haven't done it in a couple of months, so not sure if that method still works...but I don't see why not
