I think there are few overlapping things here that are probably worth pulling apart. Keep in mind that all of these are spectrums, some people might experience these acutely, others mildly, others not at all.

• Gender non-comformance: having a preference for activities that are typically ascribed to or preferring to appear as the gender opposite to the one you present as - men who like wearing dresses and sewing, women who prefer having short cropped hair and playing rugby
• Transgender - a feeling that your sex (your biology) does not match up with your gender (do you consider yourself to be a man or a woman?). Gender is a really complex thing and is pretty strongly informed by society - what were you taught “man” and “woman” means beyond just sex. For some people this disconnect can be dysphoric, and it quite often overlaps with gender non-comformance
• Transition - changing your gender presentation to be different from your sex. This can be small things - changing your hair style - to large changes such as getting legal recognition for a new name and gender identity or seeking medical interventions.

I guess my point is that there are plenty of people who engage in small non-conformances or who feel like their experience of being man doesn’t 100% line up with how society perceives men, and that’s valid, and is a trans experience, but doesn’t mean that they do or should feel like “trans” is a label or identity that applies to them. In the same way that you can understand that you are a little bit bi, without that being a significant part of your identity

So I pull out my keyboard

And I pull out my Glock

And I dismount your girl

And I mount slash proc

Cos I’ve got your PID

And the bottom line

Is you best not front

Or its kill dash nine

Fundamentally I guess there is a disconnect here around what “safe for work” means, and what the “not safe for work” function is for.

To me, unless you work in a primary school or something a journalistic article from a reputable newspaper that discusses (but does not explicitly depict) sex or sex work wouldn’t be considered inappropriate content for someone to be reading. It’s journalism, it’s intent is not to be titillating or lewd . If this was “my life as a sex worker” published on someone’s onlyfans then that’s probably different; different context and different intent.

Imo, the “NSFW” flag should be reserved for the “would it be ok if I scrolled past this on the bus with a child sitting next to me” - explicit or graphic violence or sex.

Mastodon does this better - beyond the NSFW flag, you can add arbitrary content warning flags, so if you think your content might offend or upset, you can highlight that fact so people can choose to skip it.

Just my $0.02. I’m from a European background so I guess attitudes and norms about sex might be a bit different compared to the US.

I was in the same place as you a few years ago - I liked swarm, and was a bit intimidated by kubernetes - so I’d encourage you to take a stab at kubernetes. Everything you like about swam kubernetes does better, and tools like k3s make it super simple to get set up. There _is& a learning curve, but I’d say it’s worth it. Swarm is more or less a dead end tech at this point, and there are a lot more resources about kubernetes out there.

Trying to extort the federal government like that seems like a really quick way to end up with your face, phone number and home address in a press release, along with a note from the NSA that basically says “this guy has $33 million in Bitcoin, would be a shame if someone kicked in his door and beat him with a bat until he gave up the keys :)”

Especially when “tmpfiles” is an existing term of art with a very specific meaning

They are, but I think the question was more “does the increased speed of an SSD make a practical difference in user experience for immich specifically”

I suspect that the biggest difference would be running the Postgres DB on an SSD where the fast random access is going to make queries significantly faster (unless you have enough ram that Postgres can keep the entire DB in memory where it makes less of a difference).

Putting the actual image storage on SSD might improve latency slightly, but your hard drive is probably already faster than your internet connection so unless you’ve got lots of concurrent users or other things accessing the hard drive a bunch it’ll probably be fast enough.

These are all Reckons without data to back it up, so maybe do some testing

Yeah - the dose is the poison (if you drink enough water it becomes toxic), so if you are talking precisely you need to describe the concentration of a substance in which it is likely lethal to a person, and that’s typically expressed as mass of a substance per mass of bodyweight. A lot of the time you will also see this expressed as an “LD50” value; the dose at which you’d expect 50% of people to die. This accounts for the fact that people’s metabolisms vary quite widely.

~1ng/kg ~= 0.08ug for a typical (~80kg) person, which is a very tiny amount - whatever you are talking about is incredibly toxic.

Weren’t the shit balloons retaliation for the south sending balloons to drop propaganda leaflets?

My 10 year prediction - Microsoft does a full transition to a services company:

• Basic Windows is free, even for OEMs
• Windows Professional becomes a subscription thing, maybe you get it as part of your Azure AD sub
• Things like Recall or not having ads are extra subscriptions

Only in the same way Australia -> Aussie, or England -> pom. Colloquial terms

The English Language, where the grammar is made up and the rules don’t matter.

Pretty much - I try and time it so the dumps happen ~an hour before restic runs, but it’s not super critical

pg_dumpall on a schedule, then restic to backup the dumps. I’m running Zalando Postgres in kubernetes so scheduled tasks and intercontainer networking is a bit simpler, but should be able to run a sidecar container in your compose file

If you thought the bots were obnoxious now…

• it takes engineering time which is not a trivial cost - accounts and identity for large orgs tend to be a lot more complex than you might think - there will likely be a few different identity stores, and multiple systems that query those stores; making sure every possible permutation works correctly can be a bit undertaking
• It adds additional load to their support teams which is very expensive

The support one is a real killer for a lot of places; I’ve worked with a place that had a few million paying customers, and ~half of those were in a tier where a single 30 minute support call would completely negate any revenue that that customer would bring in for the year. Email support was slightly less expensive, but would still be a significant proportion of your annual profit

This is where I’d put my Framework laptop

Maybe. It’s complicated

Edit: yeah I’m conflating two different things. Interesting listen though

Man, every time I read anything about the US healthcare system it gets more dystopian - I’m sorry you are having to deal with this nonsense

On top of the logistics of moving massive amounts of water around, flood water is typically highly contaminated - by their nature, floods sweep up everything in their path, which typically will include things like:

• Soil and sand (a massive pain to filter out)
• Agricultural run off (manure, pesticides, fertilizer, …)
• Raw sewage (from treatment plants that tend to be near waterways, or just from damaged infrastructure)
• Industrial wastes (from existing plants, or old contaminated sites)

Infectious disease is a major problem after a flood, partly because of infrastructure damage but also just because so many people will have come in contact with contaminated water - you don’t want to irrigate your crops with flood water, much less drink it
