So who's actually developing it? If it was Valve they would have said...
I already own HL2, but presumably I would have to buy this anew.

Well shit. I left telemetry on because I liked Firefox and didn't mind helping the developers with their free software. I very much mind helping marketers. I'm really curious what exactly is being shared.
But I've already moved on to Waterfox and Librewolf on everything but my phone.

I'll second the Diablo recommendation if you can drive down to the hardware store and pick one up off the shelf. Home Depot has them in my area.
If you're ordering online you have all the choices and I can't help you there.
I prefer a coarser 24-tooth blade for speed, and especially if you're going to be ripping stock thicker than 3/4". The finish it leaves it leaves is perfectly fine, and if you need it any smoother you can give it one pass with a plane. High-tooth-count blades are slow and it takes more effort to push the stock through.

That's some... uh... that's some programmer art there.

I put the Leftovers down early as well as well, but now I'll consider soldiering through. I assume you can't just skip S01 altogether? That's what I did with Parks and Recreation, but it's not a drama.

I'm guessing the Jointmaker Pro

which is faintly ridiculous.

Everything I hear about Nextcloud scares me away from messing with it.

He was known to spell his name several different ways.

I'm just running into this now. It also won't let me log into the web interface. I'm glad I experimented with a second install before upgrading my primary pihole.

Right, because it's hard to make a robot grow a goatee.

I tried Kopia but it was unstable and janky, so now it's whenever I remember to manually run a bunch of rsync. I backup my desktop to cold storage on the first of the month, so I should get in the habit of backing up my server to the NAS then also.

I hadn't heard that, but it wouldn't surprise me. I haven't had any issues with games on my IOT install, but none of them have been Ubisoft.

 

With Megan Amram and probably several other producers/writers from TGP.
It doesn't have any scifi/fantasy edge (at least not yet, I've only seen the first two episodes) but it's still amusing.

 

I use Lemmy logged-in on my computer to post and interact, but I read it logged-out on my phone to get a feel for what people are talking about outside of my interests.
Unfortunately, the communities I've entered in the block list still show up in the feed.
What gives?

 

Basically every local service is accessed via a web interface, and every interface wants a username and password. Assuming none of these services are exposed to the internet, how much effort do you put into security here?
Personally, I didn't really think about it when I started. I make a half-assed effort at security where I don't use "admin" or anything obvious as the username, and I use a decent-but-not-industrial password - but I started reusing the u/p as the number of services I'm running grew. I have my browsers remember the u/ps.
Should one go farther than this? And if so, what's the threat model? Is there an easier way?

 

It's extremely time-, storage-, and compute-expensive to generate images for an entire library before-hand. In my case it's doing all this work for tons of content that I might not even watch again.
I guess the idea is that there's no delay in the images being available as soon as the programme is started?
I'm not sure the trade-off is worth it.

 

I made this from a long piece cherry offcut that I've had sitting around for ages. Here's a better picture of the interesting bit:

I'm honestly not thrilled with the finish. I thought I'd sanded out all the little 'scales' the planer leaves, but many came back when I put the oil on.

 

Jumblevision is not a line I'm familiar with.

 

I guess still cameras weren't cutting it.

 

I'm running a new installation of the server and LibreELEC (this worked fine on my previous installs, but I decided to fix what ain't broke).
I'm casting over the LAN from the server on Debian to LibreElec on a Rraspberry Pi.
The problem I'm encountering now is that LibreElec will hang and show a spinner for anywhere from 15 seconds to several minutes when advancing to the next track of an album or music playlist. It only breaks when I'm casting, not when I'm playing locally through the Player. It only breaks for FLAC files, not Mp3s, so transcoding seems to have something to do with it.
I've disabled playback of transcoded audio in the user's settings and restarted the server, but it didn't change anything.

Where should I be looking to figure this out?

 

I was cleaning out an old bookshelf and came across this 2003 Grizzly catalog. Coincidentally, I'd just received a 2023 mailer. I was shocked by the increases in price.

Some highlights:
Standard 14" band saw: $375 vs. $800
Standard 6" jointer: $400 vs. $900
4-piece Bessey K-body clamp set: $150 vs. $350

I know nothing about how inflation works, so I'm not sure whether this tracks with the price of bread or whatever, but it was eye-opening.

 

Initially I used my commercial bevel gauge, but the blade was long enough to interfere with the swing of the brace, plus it needed to be taped down for stability.
This gizmo I made from scrap should solve both of those problems.
