"BUT I do know that the whole instance is making my life harder" Yeah, like how it's hard being exiled from your family Christmas party, because your depressed, transphobic relative is going to be there, and everyone is worried that your mere presence will push him over the edge?

Someone told me to watch https://youtu.be/cZYNADOHhVY
Which is an animated story of a kingdom desperately needing to beat a dragon. The story is an obvious euphamism.
Just do not read the first YouTube comment. Though this might be a poor man's attempt at reverse psychology warfare, or maybe not.
Regardless, go see that story, it is about 13 minutes long.

Adding “obstruction of Congress” to the list of impeachment articles was a smart move on paper because it’s way easier to say “okay, yeah, he did that even if he didn’t do the other stuff”, and I’m betting if any GOP Senators vote to convict it’ll be on that charge - won’t be enough of ‘em, though. not soliciting opinions

@mrmattimation If you're not soliciting opinions wouldn't it be more effective to get a blog and turn off the comment section?

@thismightbeauser Yeah, I've been living pretty much in a condition of rage overflow for a while, now. It's so much of such a large problem, and while I know *I* can't fix it, I also know that if we all ignore it, it'll never get better.

360p on a 4k display. I can count the compression blocks.

@scribus As big as hams!

@adiwan How terrible is it that I can see the compression blocks of a 720P source on a 1440P screen ?
Now that might sound impressive, but it's really not, If you translate it back to megapixels you can even make a ballpark figure of howmuch it takes for your brain to register the raster.
Meaning 720P (0.92 MP) on a 1440P ( 3.68 MP ) screen, that is 4 repeats for every pixel. 360P ( 0.17 MP ) on a 4K display ( 8.26 MP ) that's gonna be just under 50. I could probably count that without a pause button.
At least I think I am applying the math correctly here.Jonathan Chouinard likes this.

There is something mystifying about using a SIM card to connect to your computer directly over LTE with a software defined radio. I even got the internet to route over it.

@thismightbeauser Dude I saw a guide on using an RPi with a 3G hat to make a pirate radio station and I'm just all <3
-
@scribus That's pretty neat. So the stream comes over 3G network and gets blasted over FM?
-
@scribus I actually found an implementation of the servers needed for VoLTE, so I might try that. Doesn't seem like many people have tried it before though. The problem is that both stacks include a home subscriber service. I think I need to pick just one and point the other to it, but since both are semi monolithic I'm not sure if that will be possible.

It seems like our router was hijacked or something, but I honestly have no idea. My phone said I needed to sign in, which redirected to a URL lushka (dot) ml (slash) captive, which seems like it may have been a Mastodon instance at some point? Now it's just Nginx with the default "I'm Nginx!" webpage.

If the 2020 Democrat does not use “Make America Great Again” as her slogan, the comedian in me will force me to vote against her in protest of missing such an easy opportunity.

@mrmattimation I noticed the "Keep America Great" hanging on a housemate's rack and I just wondered how anyone could possibly believe that anything changed for the better over this presidency
-
@thismightbeauser I do notice most of the people who wave that stuff around tend to be regular rank-and-file Republicans anyway. The so-called “silent majority” that got him elected in the first place, the Obama-Trump voters who work blue collar jobs or in agriculture or something like that, are probably a lot less happy with the way things are going right now.

At least it certainly hasn't changed dramatically enough to warrant that. Maybe "Keep Strengthening America" or some such would be more modest.

Just when I thought I was pretty reasonably experienced with GNU, I tripped over some weird library loading issue. Apparently there's a cache of library path resoultions in /etc/ld.so.cache, and *apparently* the install script for my library didn't refresh it, so when I ran my program it said the library wasn't there when it clearly was, and using ldd to view all the subdependencies worked correctly, but would say `not found` for each of the custom libraries needed, even though those were also Definitely There. This weirdo command `ldconfig` fixed /etc/ld.so.cache and it worked again.

And of course, I'm job hunting, fully aware that the last three jobs I held have driven me to increasingly vivid depths of suicidal ideation. I'd love to get help, but who's footing the bill? I can just barely cover rent and bills. Can't even afford Obamacare; gonna get a tax fine for that come April. Goodie!! I did well in school. I went to college, got a degree (and got hosed in the process, never gonna own a home unless I miraculously do manage to outlive my dad), I've been working my ass to the bone for just about twenty years, the better part of my life, and for what? So some halfwit shareholders can have a yacht with a yacht onboard? All for sitting around on their wallets.

@scribus The individual mandate did get repealed, you technically aren’t required to have healthcare anymore.
-
@scribus Sorry about that. I feel you to some extent. I'm starting to realize that my anxiety may actually be a brain issue and not something I can just talk myself out of. Realizing that has helped me be a little kinder to myself and prevent it from spiraling out of control a little bit. I should probably be on medication, but everything I've been prescribed before has made me feel slightly dead inside.
