    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 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.

    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!

    Am I the only one who’s just done reading quotes from this asshole? Seriously, it’s like reading a book with no punctuation. Or basic sentence structure. It’s mentally taxing to do, and doesn’t add anything to my understanding of the guy.

    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!”

    You can’t see the seasoning on the rim. One of the reasons i hate mason jars for drinks - small rim means less seasoning. The mix was made in house and pretty spicy. All in all, it was a pretty good drink.

    TBH, I kind of get his point, and respect him for his candor. That said, I think he's also aware that he will more than likely be disappointed by his decision. He probably also knows it's only a matter of time before the party completely rejects him. >Throughout our 90-minute interview, Cox rejected the “MAGA” label, called Trump and his running mate, J. D. Vance, “antithetical” to his brand of Republicanism, and at various points seemed even to quibble with the idea that he’d endorsed Trump at all. “I said I’m going to vote for him,” Cox told me. “I didn’t say I support everything he does. I’m not even telling *you* that you need to vote for him.” > > ... > > When Cox addressed the state Republican convention in May, he was loudly booed by Trumpists. Finally, in a fit of exasperation, he spat, “Maybe you just hate that I don’t hate enough.” The race seemed to rattle his faith in Utah exceptionalism. “It only reinforced my concern that there’s kind of been a breach in the stronghold,” he told me. > > ... > > “When we talk about disagreeing better and the work of depolarization, there’s this weird thing that happens to people,” Cox told me. “You start to criticize the people who are polarizing us … and then they become your enemies.” If you’re not careful, he said, you risk becoming a mirror image of the thing you’re working to defeat. > > “That ‘Love your enemies’ stuff—it sucks. I hate it. I wish Jesus had never said that,” Cox told me. But if he was serious about injecting decency and compassion back into politics, he explained, he needed to find a way to work with his political enemies. And within his own party, at least, he could think of few figures who qualified as enemies more than Trump. “To me, this is kind of the ultimate test.”

    I have the arr stack and immich running on a beelink S12 pro based on [geekau mediastack](https://github.com/geekau/mediastack) on GitHub. Basically, and I'm sure my understanding is maybe a bit flawed, it uses docker-proxy to detect containers and passes that to swag, which then sets up subdomains via a tunnel to Cloudflaire. I have access to my services outside of my LAN without any port forwarding on my router. If I'm not mistaken, that access is via the encrypted tunnel between swag & Cloudflaire (please, correct me if I'm wrong). That little beelink is running out of resources! It's running 20 containers, and when immich has to make any changes, it quickly runs low on memory. What I would like to do is set up a second box that would also run the same "infrastructure" containers (swag, docker-proxy), and connect to the same Cloudflaire account. I'm guessing I need to set up a second tunnel? I'm not sure how to proceed.

    One can’t keep herself out of a box or anything resembling a box. The other is responsible for the never healing contusion on his sister’s ear (though, she sometimes starts it).

    Do you drink the cereal-flavored milk straight from the bowl? I grew up doing this because my parents taught me how good that milk tastes. As I’ve gotten older, I feel a little self-conscious about doing it in public. It’s not something I notice other non-children doing. Editing to add: I do drink the milk from the bowl. As to when I'm eating it "in public:" hotels mostly. Self-conscious was probably the wrong word. I'm more wondering if people silently judge a grown person drinking cereal milk from the bowl. Not losing sleep if they do, just curious.

    Trying to do a couple things. I have 2 jump hosts I can use to get into my cluster login node. From my laptop to the jump hosts is password. From jump hosts to login node can be key-based, so if I do it all from CLI: ``` [me@home ~]$ ssh user@jump1 Password: [user@jump1 ~]$ ssh user@login1 [user@login1 ~]$ ``` Same process if I use jump2. So first thing I'm trying to do is set up my ~/.ssh/config to use the ProxyJump host and key file to get to login1. I have the following: ``` Host jump1 Hostname jump1.domain Host jump2 Hostname jump2.domain Host login1 Hostname login1.cluster ProxyJump jump1 #ProxyJump jump2 ``` I'm not sure how to configure the IdentityFile entries for each jump host. The user on the jump hosts has different id_rsa keys in ~/.ssh, but both are in the authorized_keys file on login1. Second thing I'm trying to do is join or start a tmux session. From CLI, I can run: ``` tmux has-session -t mysession || tmux new -s mysession && tmux a -t mysession ``` I've learned that to just join a running session (tmux a -t mysession), I need to include "RequestTTY yes" in my ssh config entry for login1. What I can't get working is the conditional statement that will fire up a new tmux session if it doesn't already exist.

    I’ve seen a lot of recommends for Immich on here, so I have an idea what the answer here is going to be, but I’m looking for some comparisons between it and Photoprism I’m currently using Synology Photos, and I think my biggest issue is it’s lack of metadata management. I’ve gotten around that with MetaImage and NeoFinder. I’m considering moving to something not tied to the Synology environment.

    I have a well pump in my garage that seems to have stopped working. When plugging it in, I hear it running, but the pressure never goes up, and the motor never stops. No idea what I’m doing with this thing.

    Like the title says, what are your favorite lyrics? I just heard one of my favorite verses today: > “In a seedy karaoke bar by the banks of the mighty Bosporus > Is a Japanese man in a business suit singing “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes.” > And the muscular cyborg German dudes dance with sexy French Canadians > While the overweight Americans wear their patriotic jumpsuits”

    Trying to backup a TV show I have on BD to my Plex server. The other discs in the season work fine w/ MakeMKV, but this one will only read the deleted scenes. So far, I've tried MakeMKV and dd (which returns an I/O error on this disc). Any other thoughts?

    I have accounts on lemmy.world and lemmy.ml. After launching the app, when adding my account I'm presented with some common instances to select from. After choosing one, I enter my credentials using 1Password. To add the second account, it's a completely different process, and I can't use 1Password for the username.

    Why YSK? Comments you reply positively to, should definitely get your upvote. Comments you disagree with should be at your discretion. Trolls deserve downvotes (seriously, they live for those). Disagreeing with someone in the midst of a good discussion doesn't necessarily warrant one, and might deserve an upvote. Even if you don't reply, but you agree with the comment, give it your vote. Also, this has nothing to do with propping up folks' egos. Comments with more upvotes will likely be seen first the longer the post is up. Alternatively, downvoted posts are less likely to be seen unless users are looking for them. Of course, this can lead to folks accusing communities of having leftist/right-wing bias, but I think overall it improves the usage of the site. Personally, the thing I liked most about Reddit was the conversations in the comments. Usually the ones with the most upvotes were more worth the read & engagement.

    I've created a Google Sheet to try and track the various apps in development. I created it from info in [this thread](https://lemmy.world/post/401780). UPDATE: Changed access to comments only since people were changing the table to meet their requirements rather than keeping the actual information up to date. If something needs to be added/changed, add a comment or message me.
