Can you, uh, remind everyone why that is? I obviously know, but for all those people that need to hear it again?

Spain did the same thing after Franco died. All the fascists got off because "it's time to heal and move on" and now they're all in politics.

Yeah, I honestly don't know how we come back from this level of radicalization without some form of conflict. If we're going to Balkanize, hopefully it can be done without bloodshed, but…

Tangentially related, The Office fans jokingly asking if I'd ever been to "Scranton" and then being surprised to learn it was a real place.

Can the PNW join you, and thence the EU? You can give up Alberta if it makes it any easier?

Same thing happens to me where I'll start emulating local accents. The result is no one can accurately guess where I'm from, even people from my own country. The general answer is "northern Europe" but not from the country of whomever is guessing. But it's the same reason… something is up with my accent, but no one is able to place it.

Grew up NEPA, went to school on the main line. Moved away almost 20 years ago, but this brings me back.

I've been curious about The Talos Principle if that's still on the table?

Oh that's good to know. I took a look at notesnook a bit ago and immediately noped out when it appeared I'd have to get a subscription to do basic stuff.

This really is the worst timeline. We should be best friends and have that border that was barely guarded through the 90s. 😞

 

I'm not tech illiterate, but it's also not my job or anything. That said I managed to figure out how to get a synology up and running and it hosts my Jellyfin and *arrs. Nothing too exciting. I also have a couple of vps's that I use for nextcloud, a recipe server, all in docker containers. Not nothing but also, not the hardest thing to accomplish.

Well, my manager gifted me an old Dell PowerEdge R720 and 4 hard drives. Yeah, this is way more than I know what to do with, or even where to start. Do I need to plug both power cables in? I still need to figure out how to get a monitor hooked up to it with what looks to be a VGA cable. And even then this thing is a behemoth and what do I even do with it?? My manager was so excited to talk to me about it and I'm all 😵‍💫

Where do I start?
