A certain archduke comes to mind.

I can absolutely see it getting useful for a pro. It’s already a better version of IDE templates. If you have to write boilerplate code this can already do that. It’s a huge time saver for the things you’d have to go look up to remember how to do and piece together yourself.

Example: today I wanted a quick way to serve my current working directory over HTTP so I could do some quick web work. I asked ChatGPT to write me a bash function I could stick in my profile to do this, and I told it to pick a random unused port. That would have taken me much longer had I went to lookup how to do that all. The only hint I gave it was to use the Python builtin module for serving http.

Yea way better to have Jim Jordan be the sole arbiter of what gets brought to the floor.

Demand a shared gavel. The speaker must accept bills to the floor from both party leaders. Then they can pick whoever they want.

These stories drive me insane. News media brings on a Republican who claims ignorance to some horrible thing.

The answer here is "ok thank you for coming in our program Representative Mace. You can return to our network when you’ve taken a look into this thing that’s been in the public for years and have a comment on it. Until then you are no longer welcome on -insert network here-

Never invite them back. You are an elected official. You don’t get to pick and choose what you have to answer.

Andy Kim announced he would.

The existing boundaries of the states is their built-in gerrymander. One voters opinion in Wyoming counts 50 times a Californian.

It’d be great if she gets impeached, she resigns and the governor appoints an ultra left judge who agrees to step down after the special election, where she runs again and wins.

I don’t see any scenario where Democrats take 60 seats in the Senate. The states have polarized so much, and the system favors the Republican states too much.

Look up Vertex. They have stem cell derived beta cells they’re looking to put in a pouch to avoid immune response, but AFAIK the production of the beta cells is a solved problem. They implanted those cells in someone and he’s seemingly cured.

The issue is that cure currently comes with life long immunosuppressants.

The law targeted Google too.

Thanks. This has potential and would force me to finally learn Ruby if I want to tweak it.

Yes, the “Request Archive” method may be the “don’t over engineer this stupid” option I go with.

You can do this with Tailscale. Added plus is you can then use Tailscale on you phone to access your pihole for DNS when on the go.

Right, this is exactly what I was saying. Plausible deniability because you know you’re not going to be able to fight to protect the data when they come knocking.

If your concern for wanting to self host is that you’re concerned your government might attempt to access that data, then you should also assume they could get a warrant for that data and force you to decrypt it if it were encrypted at rest on a machine in your home.
