Lol, comment removed. It ended with, “…support for the Chinese Communist party” as a way of finding out someone is a child.

Which was then removed in a, dare I say, childish act of moderation.

(Which is fine, the folks at .ml are welcome to censor as they see fit, of course, and I’m sure this comment isn’t long for this world.)

My carrier is Google Fi — one perk is that they will give you free data-only sims (up to 10 I think?) and you just pay for the data you use like any other data. I have used old Android phones in USB tether mode this way, and it works just fine. So, rpi+old/cheap phone should do the trick.

One fun bonus is that if you tether over USB it will work as a WiFi dongle, too — the failover from WiFi to cell should happen on the phone, transparently iirc. Not sure if that affects you.

Caveat is that I did this a while ago, and their pricing structure may have changed. Finished to be a great deal but has slowly become another carrier with not much to differentiate it…

For a while Intel’s QuickSync was I think one of the better for transcoding (e.g., for Jellyfin). Didn’t see mention of this in the article, I wonder if AMD is on par now?

Looks like you edited but kept the “th” suffix instead of “nd” :)

Yeah, but this is (according to OP) faster, which saves money. And, because it’s open, if there are features that could add serious value, they could be added in-house.

But yeah, perhaps a bit of a pyrrhic victory.

For their own good, let’s hope anon doesn’t become “more than friends” with this mantis…

Perhaps parent was suggesting that anything in this chart is indeed part of the human experience, because we can — in some small way — comprehend or “experience” it. An intellectual rather than a visceral experience.

Or not, I dunno.

Dr. is used extensively in Europe. It’s even tacked on to existing titles, where in the US you rarely use Dr. if a “higher” honorific is applicable (e.g., it’s usually just “Prof. X,” where in parts of Europe it’s “Prof. Dr. X”).

Do you mean that doctorates in medical-adjacent fields (but not unqualified med school) don’t use the term in Europe?

That’s…not what (many) babies smell like most of the time.

If your baby predominantly smells like shit, you may need to be changing diapers more often…
