Can't speak for the author as to their intentions, but that's what I took from it.

I'm not vegan, I'm not trying to speak for others, but it is my takeaway that the point is an animals life is worth less than a digital steak.

The headline is click bait imo but the article makes a somewhat valid point about the larger use of animal products in everything. The article lists paper money in the UK as an example so a vegan is essentially unable to use paper money without conflicting with their ideals.

I would say the point of articles like this is a reasonable way to bring awareness of how ubiquitous animal products are in everyday items.

I think it's a valid topic with a headline written by marketing (and their 696 "partners") and an article written by someone with a point to make.

I could ddg this, but how does the remote access work? Do I need to open ports out of my home to have users watch stuff?

I want to like mastodon but I don't want to do the leg work of finding accounts. I like the algorithm to some extent, I want help to find things.

I also have trouble deciding how to support the post. Liking doesn't do anything and tooting or whatever puts it on my page. I don't feel part of the community boosting topics I like.

I like voting things up and down.

Maybe I'm doing it wrong but I try and get instantly bored because I have to hunt for everything. I really tried.

It's a commuter backpack, momentum 30. Has a front pocket to fit a bike helmet, I never use it for that but a big stretch pocket on the front is so useful.

Overall, it just always seems to fit everything I'm carrying with me to most places.

I've got a few other smaller travel bags too that I used to store computer accessories and toiletries when I travel.

At the end of the day, everything is just atoms moving at different wiggle rates, that's the technical term. It doesn't matter what makes them wiggle faster or slower.

Confirmed here too. I HATE my shark vac bot. So many reasons and I have two of them unfortunately, each with different problems.

My Garmin Fenix watch, it was during the first month of wearing it that I realized my life and fitness can be like a video game and I get badges and points for doing things. It drives me to move and even after 4 years, it still is making me motivated.

A nice wallet, I looked for a long time and ended up with a Trayvax wallet. I just love the damn thing, it'll last me forever and it's unique and functional. Each time I pull it out of my pocket, I appreciate it's look and feel and form.

My osprey back pack. I've carried it to and from work, on boats, kayaks, walking, for camping and to my friends houses. It is just so functional and comfortable in a way that a less expensive one isn't. It's made to be comfortable AND hold things.

This is the exact type of handwriting I would assume they had.

Written inconsistently around an envelope with spelling errors, no thought to the length of what they are writing, and random capitalization.

Spot on.

An "article" written by someone who doesn't know how babies are made.

Just got a system up and running. Silverstone cs382 chassis with 6 12tb drives. 4 are in a striped mirror set and the other two are mirrored. I wanted protection and speed. The os and docker apps each have their own 1tb SSD. Rest of the hardware is old from eBay.

I'm coming from open media vault so although I'm not running anything but rsync now, I will be setting up a wordle clone, an intranet, and backup for family photos. I run some of the same stuff as you but I'll have to look up what the rest are. Tailscale is something I've wanted to do but haven't dug into it yet.

I may set up a task list for the kids chores as well.

Plex and all the associated things.

Not sure what else yet as I'm still setting up replication and stuff to protect what I have first.

I'm in NY, banned grocery bags a while ago and old people constantly bitch about it still, and joke about the state taking something else mundane next.

It's so stupid and I just roll my eyes, paper bags work just fine and its like $0.05 cents a bag at checkout. My jar of tomato sauce has shrunk by 6oz and gone up $2 but it's plastic bags and the 5 cent paper bags that are the problem right?

Anyway I'm ranting. Enjoy not having plastic bags floating around your streets and parking lots.
