In what world is it cheaper to put solar in orbit, then somehow transmit collected power down to the surface and distribute it, vs just slapping solar panels on peoples roofs…?

That’s a neat little tool that seems to work pretty well. Turns out the files I thought I’d need it for already have embedded OCR data, so I didn’t end up needing it. Definitely one I’ll keep in mind for the future though.

That works magnificently. I added -l so it spits out a list of files instead of listing each matching line in each file, then set it up with an alias. Now I can ssh in from my phone and search the whole collection for any string with a single command.

Thanks again!

Note, this was over 15 years ago; their policy has shifted in that time. I don’t believe the shipping requirement was that strict at the time.

Started a new job as a tool tech in a rental center; maintaining, repairing, and simply showing people how to operate, a ton of different tools, some of which I’ve never even seen before.

First thing I did is setup a file share on my server that I’ve populated with 70+ manuals and growing by the day…

Read through them all myself to understand the nuances of each machine and be able to explain the details to customers; plus I can print them a fresh copy on demand just for good measure.

Yup, that was really stupid. A hard lesson learned for literally the first package I’d ever shipped myself.

If I remember correctly though; ebay took the buyers side and refunded them before even informing me of the dispute. While I didn’t have evidence to refute it besides a receipt for shipping, they hadn’t really given me the opportunity to even try… Plus at 14 I wasn’t willing to lose $1k and the cards. :/

Interesting; that would be much simpler. I’ll give that a shot in the morning, thanks!

That was well over 15 years ago now; I do not. I’d imagine the price has also risen a tad, not something I’ve looked into in quite a while. (I had sold at a similar price to comparable sets on ebay at the time)

I’ve been permanently banned from ebay since I was 14.

Sold an original Alpha set of MTG cards for over $1k. Shipped it without tracking like a moron. Buyer disputed, claimed they never received it; ebay immediately refunded them and came after me for the funds. I said f that and walked away. They didn’t do much to try and collect (not sure they even can against a minor in Canada), but banned my account.

Since; I’ve tried to make a couple other accounts once or twice, and buy or sell stuff. Those got removed and orders cancelled within 24hrs.

“Russia must end” the war it started

I think I prefer just the first half… But one thing at a time I guess.

Yeah, your home server is still able to reach plex.tv so there’s no problem there.

It’s people actually hosting there that got screwed over.

Exactly, so they’ll need a printer so they can hand him physical copies of new memos/documents while in-flight.

Lmao, building a house with Thors hammer…

Like mouse hunting with a .50 cal rifle.

He travels in a hotel with wings. I’d be astounded if there’s not a printer onboard air force one.

Plex blocked Hetzner IPs, so servers hosted there can’t reach plex.tv to auth users or validate plex pass.

With the whole upper half bobbing up/down like a horse nodding it’s head while it runs.

I’m rather surprised by the disproportionate voting as well. I was just playing devils advocate tbh.

For the record, I’ve not voted either way on anything in this thread. I will say, you seem to be taking this far more seriously than perhaps you should. This isn’t the war room; it’s a throwaway convo with strangers about hypotheticals…

Are you suggesting someone starts WW3 by shooting Putin down? Because that’s what would happen.

Would it though? If you cut the head off the snake, will (can?) the body keep following its orders?

It’d definitely be chaos and there’s a good chance there would be some war. But I’m not so sure how much of that would be retaliation against the US vs an in-fighting power grab within Russia.

I got really stuck into the Artemis Foul books as a teen. I always thought they’d make a great TV series.

DNS-01 is in the pipeline at least, so hopefully we’ll see that bring wildcard certs along with it.

It’s nice to see this being integrated into nginx. I’ve been using ACME.sh for around a decade instead. It just triggers through a script on a crontab schedule grabbing a new cert via DNS-01 if necessary, then refreshing nginx to recognize the new file.
