Comment Re:Repeat after me (Score 1) 35

I'm self-hosting Vaultwarden on my LAN, a Bitwarden-compatible backend written in Rust. I have it running inside a jail on TrueNAS Core (which, alas, is now end-of-life). It hosts its own Web interface, but also is compatible with Bitwarden's Android app and browser plugins.

So far, it's worked out pretty well for me.

Comment Yours was 100% weight (Score 1) 61

My wife has Ehlers-Danlos - weak stretchy connective tissue. It's a spectrum syndrome running from very loose joints on the low end to crippling joint/ligament problems with lots of other stuff thrown in. She's on the low end, thank ghod.

Ehlers-Danlos is highly correlated with sleep apnea that has nothing to do with overweight.

Everyone I know who makes my equivalent AGI, except for my household, has 1+ dogs, work crazy hours, and have been told that their dogs are lonely and depressed.

Not one or two people.

EVERYONE. Dozens upon dozens of my clients, colleagues, peers, friends from grade school, etc, have a dog or two, and then they have to have someone come spend time with said dog when they're putting 10+ hours away from them.

Wag/Rover/etc is part of their crazy consumer spending. I always am shocked to hear they're spending $1000 a month on their pets.

Americans are insane about their pets. Instead of buying a dog, I invest in corporate veterinary hospitals, because it's crazy profitable.

Comment Re:Same "pilot" problem crashed the 737 Max's (Score 1) 248

You missed the part where all pilots were qualified to fly the 737 MAX according to Boeing. Well, Boeing lied.

This cannot be emphasized enough: Boeing lied.

I do not remember all the details right now. But in order to fit a larger engine with enough ground clearance, they had to change its thrust angle slightly. They told the FAA there were no changes that pilots needed to know about or retrain for. They lied, to airlines, to the FAA and to the public. The two crashes were due to pilots not knowing about the changes.

Comment ...There's a Trending Page? (Score 1) 12

I thought that's what the front page was. It keeps wasting space with things I'm not interested in, or actively dislike.

Comment A poem by Howard Nemerov (Score 1, Interesting) 112

        Because I am drunk, this Independence Night,
        I watch the fireworks from far away,
        from a high hill, across the moony green
        Of lakes and other hills to the town harbor,
        Where stately illuminations are flung aloft,
        One light shattering in a hundred lights
        Minute by minute. The reason I am crying,
        Aside from only being country drunk,
        That is, may be that I have just remembered
        The sparklers, rockets, roman candles and
        so on, we used to be allowed to buy
        When I was a boy, and set off by ourselves
        At some peril to life and property.
        Our freedom to abuse our freedom thus
        Has since, I understand, been remedied
        By legislation. Now the authorities
        Arrange a perfectly safe public display
        To be watched at a distance; and now also
        The contribution of all the taxpayers
        Together makes a more spectacular
        Result than any could achieve alone
        (A few pale pinwheels, or a firecracker
        Fused at the dog's tail). It is, indeed, splendid:
        Showers of roses in the sky, fountains
        Of emeralds, and those profusely scattered zircons
        Falling and falling, flowering as they fall
        And followed distantly by a noise of thunder.
        My eyes are half-afloat in happy tears.
        God bless our Nation on a night like this,
        And bless the careful and secure officials
        Who celebrate our independence now.
