And many of those who haven’t been in the military but want to be cops fetishize the military, and then go get tattoos like the veterans they wish they were.

Ideally? I’d say something with support for 2 drives, mirrored.

Without a price to define “not crazy expensive”, I’d say take a look at QNAP and Synology 2-bay devices, pick what fits the price range. I’d put it on the network and mount it on the PCs you want to as a drive to drop things in.

Then I’d add one more thing - 3-2-1 for anything critical.

• Three copies of all critical data should be made on a regular basis. Original data + at least two backups
• Two different storage types should be used to store the data to minimize the chance of failure.
• One offsite location. Could be an encrypted copy of a backup on cloud storage, could be a drive at another home.

How critical data is would be up to you and your parents, I just want to note that a single backup at your home is not going to be helpful if there is flooding or a fire or whatever that would damage both the originals and the backup device.

They can be highly responsive to their owners. You start showing any signs of tension, they will put themselves between you and whatever is bothering you.

When we watch my sisters dog, my wife has to use a vibrating collar for the dog. He reacts to everything as a potential threat to her, and that ramps up with my kids being there.

If its just me walking him, he tends to just be a roaming doofus. If I add in our (little and much older) dog, he’s fine until the moment our dog reacts.

Its actually extremely wild to me just how responsive they are to those around them.

Edit: Forgot to mention, he’s a mutt - consisting of like 7 different herding breeds common to the southern US. He’s also well over a hundred lbs, and the goodest boy (of the lovable idiot variety).

He also has zero response to my kids, they can lay next to him, on him, whatever, his only interest is looking out for them. And treats.

Video playback of local media server (jellyfin), gaming (emulators mostly, and some old games), kids games (gcompris), podcast and audiobook playback (audiobookshelf).

Thats what runs on mine at least.

Andrea Baccarelli, the dean of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, received at least $150,000 as an expert witness during several lawsuits aimed at Kenvue, the maker of Tylenol, federal court filings reviewed by the newspaper show.

It’s a glaring conflict of interest, and a worrying example of how the Trump administration is using quack science to further a pseudoscientific agenda. Worse yet, it’s using baseless evidence linked to civil litigation to justify its claims.

A federal judge dismissed the suits aimed at the Tylenol maker, which were filed by families who claimed their children developed autism or ADHD after using Tylenol during pregnancy. The judge cited a lack of reliable scientific evidence and agreed with the defendants that Baccarelli had “cherry-picked and misrepresented study results,” according to the NYT.

Its possible, sure.

But I’d also point out those aren’t the only three names in this new set of documents. Bill Gates is in there, another with Rich Kahn (Epstein accountant, who just last year along with Darren Indyke, espteins lawyer, tried to prevent themselves from being named in suits by victims), researchers like Joscha Bach, his lead attorney Reid Weingarten, etc.

This is only evidence of association, and not of crimes. There are quite a few names in these ledgers, Thiel, Musk, and Bannon are notable because its new information and well known names.

Edit: I’d add two other items - fully unredacted would just mean the victims will get targeted again, and that republicans are more than welcome to vote to release more details. They constantly keep blocking it.

Probably because of things like this:

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2025/8/21/2339592/-Republican-Sexual-Predators-Abusers-and-Enablers-Pt-57

Which is now up to part 57. I’ve yet to see a similar list of democrats, but considering the religious right, I do say its far more likely to see a lot of republicans with Epstein and committing crimes than democrats. So we’ll probably see a few more democrats at some point, but I think the numbers will lean heavily republican because they are just more likely.

You want good words, date a languager

Redacting the names of victims is entirely appropriate and right.

I’m not going to take a bus ride for free books

Yeah this isnt that kind of town, and nothing is “far away”. I’m down the street from a shipping warehouse, multiple farms, and medical buildings.

There is a lot around, but if its not on the major roads, you don’t know unless you know, which is what I’m pointing out is an issue. Same went for the last town, you could walk to my home from the trail in less than 5 minutes. More of an awareness issue than anything else.

And, as I said - there is zero reason not to do both.

There really isn’t much reason not to do both, but I will say that word of mouth only works well if people pass by it enough. Saw that with my little library at my old home, which was off the beaten path, vs one that backed up to a well walked/biked trail, both in the same (really small) town.

I’m planning to set up a farm (farmette is probably more accurate given the size we are looking for), and one of the things I was thinking about was sharing food.

I plan on lining the edges with some dwarf apple trees (for easy reach), some berry bushes, etc, as well as a spot for a “farm stand”. I put it in quotes because no one would be there, no prices set, just grab if you need and give if you can sort of thing. And probably a little library, though I don’t have much in the way of paper books anymore.

One thing I was trying to figure out is how to let people know its there. Are there “solidarity economy” maps on osm, or sites where people say they have something set up? Thats not the sort of places we wouldn’t recommend obviously, like Facebook.

If anyone knows of something like that, let me know!

I meant its branding, not Amazon owned, I should clear that up though it is misleading as written.

Nintendo has issued strikes over a wide variety of youtube content for use of their music, from dedicated fan creators using Legend of Zelda or Super Smash Bros music over Lets Play style videos, reviews, etc, to an entire channel that hosted just Nintendo music (GilvaSunner). 2022 saw over 2200 strikes in just that year.

They are famously protective of their IP, including in situations of fair use..

Edit: Just to mention, the copyright act still applies to the federal government, as well as the state government. This has been in place since 1990. The joke of a supreme court we have now muddied the waters in 2020, but its more about state sovereign immunity in federal court, not about federal agency & copyright.

Yes, claims can be brought, damages can be required, and not any use can be considered fair use. Notably, damaging the brand by negatively impacting market value through the presentation excludes as fair use.

(Pedantry incoming)

Paperwhite is actually Amazon branding. E-Ink is a brand as well, owned by the E Ink Corporation. The generic name would be electronic paper or e-paper.

Edit: Clarity.

I live in the US, so I’m unfortunately all too aware. My options are dialup, DSL with speeds I had 20+ years ago, or a cable provider (not Comcast).

Even if they aren’t viable (for example, the nonsensical DSL provider I mentioned), they may still have an offering. Mine is trying to give away netflix subs (with speeds that are barely usable). Doesn’t change the message to the ISP though.

Well only one sex offender is dead, so… That one.

If you mean which statue is which, left is Trump and right is Epstein.

I thought I was clarifying without going into detail on the definition of an extranet, I don’t even know how I’d assume gender?

An intranet is a local and private computer network.

The internet is a network of intranets, or more accurately, a network by which computers of disparate networks can connect.

Intra, meaning inside or within. Inter, meaning between or among.

Interdepartmental communication would be communication between departments, while intradepartmental communication would be within a single department.

The inter vs intra is the difference here.
