I had to come back here specifically to thank you.

We have a “rainfall” showerhead that has been a huge disappointment since we installed it. Your comment popped into my head today as I was about to jump in the shower. All I had to do was remove a little o-ring and now it works fantastic! It also cut my shower time in half.

No one in the recording industry has ever considered how stupid their plans are. If they did, they would stop constantly giving piracy free advertising.

Cook’s Venture (an Arkansas poultry processor) went bankrupt practically overnight. Then the state came in and killed all the chickens at each farm, leaving the farmers to deal with all the dead and rotting corpses.

What did our wonderful governor do? Well, as I recall, her administration refused to declare a state of emergency and pretty much told all the poultry farmers to go fuck themselves because it’s “not the government’s job to bail out private businesses” or some bullshit like that.

Doesn’t feel so good when you’re the one getting told to fuck off. I hope all the people who voted for Trump and Sarah Sanders are happy since this is exactly what they voted for.

After a quick glance at the demo, I think the UI design is better than Paperless-ngx (at least on mobile). But, it only has tags. Not correspondents and document types. It also lacks the automatic matching feature, advanced search filters, custom fields, and customizable document views that Paperless has.

Does the new ISP require use of their router or just offer it as an option?

AT&T used to require using their router, which was a pile of hot garbage. I have a Mikrotik Router and managed to mostly cut the AT&T router out but I had to configure my router to use the AT&T router for authentication, at which point the Mikrotik would take over. It was complicated to configure but it worked.

I was listening to Terry Gross interview some broadband experts about broadband legislation the other day and they mentioned that the White House added a Starlink connection to “boost the WiFi signal.” The White House. Probably the single most well connected building on the planet, added a shitty Starlink connection. It was not lost on Terry or the panelists that the whole charade was nothing more than the President of the United States abusing his position to effectively advertise one of his cronies’ products.

Got permission from my [uphill] neighbor to install a catch basin underneath one of her downspouts that always floods our yard when it rains. Dug a shallow trench about 20ft. to an existing storm drain and tied it in.

No more flooding my yard.

That’s a tough one. There’s not a ton of great options for personal accounting apps, much less self hosted ones. I used Pocket Smith (subscription based) for years which actually does what your looking for. Decent product overall. I switched from them to Quicken mostly because I’m an anal retentive personal accounting nerd and the fact that they couldn’t produce a conventional income statement or balance sheet was a long running frustration of mine.

If I had to choose another platform again, I would go with spreadsheets since it can be as simple or complex as you want to make it. I know that’s not really what youre looking for. Wish I had a better suggestion.

They were going for “super intelligence” and instead they got Cliff Clavin from Cheers.

“It’s a little-known fact that the tan became popular in what is known as the Bronze Age.”

Tried using Copilot on a few C# projects. I didn’t find it to be any better than Resharper. If anything it was worse because it would give me auto complete samples that were not even close to what I wanted. Not all the time but not infrequently either.

Why are they spending billions on this?

Greed.

Remember when the Governor of Missouri tried to have a guy arrested for notifying the state of Missouri that they had a breach in one of the state websites, making peoples PII publicly visible?

That’s the kind of idiots you’re dealing with here. “We added you to a group chat by mistake and it’s all YOUR fault.”

Jokes on him. A lot of corporations will gladly tell Orange Julius whatever he wants to hear, true or not, as long as there’s a financial incentive to do so.

The US is currently shooting itself in the face and Russia is embroiled in a war that it can’t actually win.

All China has to do to reap the benefits is not interrupt.

Oh yeah. Fire the team responsible for pen testing. That’s real smart.

Take a car that’s stuck in reverse, slap a 454 Chevy big block in it. You’ll have a car that still drives the wrong way; but faster.

In posts on X following the incident, Tesla CEO Elon Musk called the incidents “terrorism” and said the company “just makes electric cars and has done nothing to deserve these evil attacks.”

OK buddy.

Since you’re already working in C#, an ASP.Net Core backed, with whatever database you prefer, will do what you want.

You could self host it, but I wouldn’t call that easy. There are plenty of cloud providers that can integrate with your preferred git repo and really streamline the build and deployment process. I run a few applications as “Apps” on Digital Ocean. Once you get it configured properly, deployments are quick and easy.
