As someone who’s reached 45… definitely not. I have way more anxiety, am more easily stressed, and constantly have imposter syndrome and worries I did not have when I was in my 20’s and 30’s. I’m used to some of it, but life now throws me different curveballs. 30’s were probably my best decade thus far concerning the OPs statement.

I feel like it depends on the beach. Haven’t been to French one’s, but I’d bet there were some touristy ones that get slammed with people. Those make sense for this. Now, some of the quieter more locals only kinda beaches that people are able to spread out more, that’s probably fine to keep… but that’s going to be a hard distinction to make clear rules on.

Is there a reason not to have the lossless/original files on the server? What I mean is, you could setup one of the myriad of self hosted music streaming apps here and the vast majority will transcode to lossy, appropriately compressed files for steaming or even downloading on remote devices for offline listening, on the fly.

So they’re agreeing that the last set of 8 movies wasn’t a “faithful adaptation”?

I mean, they skipped lots of stuff from the books, so maybe this’ll fill that in? But at the same point, we’ve been through this already, who is going to care to rehash it all? Find a new story!

My wife’s parents recently passed. It took months to slog through their stuff and my wife was over it only weeks in. She dumped so much but constantly fights with herself for both taking more than she wanted/needed to and yet less that what she feels she should have. We’ve told our daughter multiple times “our stuff May mean a lot to us, it doesn’t have to mean anything at all to you. If you don’t want it, never feel bad dumping/selling/letting it go.” Out of all the stuff we all collect in life just by living, barely anything has any sentimental value.

On one hand I’ve got a huge collection of photos and albums I’ve taken and collected. I’m trying to clear some out as I go… but I’m not looking forward to that process when my parents go. My dad’s an avid photographer and I know he has a few hundred thousand photos, most of which are near duplicates and he rarely cleans them up.

Now if we can just stop expanding light pollution!

He doesn’t actually know what the team ”racist” means, he just knows energizes his base to hear things called that. Whatever shocks his voters into action and belief is good publicity for him and his cronies.

To be fair, the traditional web models were falling apart prior to AI as well. We’ve gone so far past “ad driven” that Everything has to be full of ads and clickbait to drive revenue just to run the infrastructure, let alone pay for the pages creation and upkeep. Journalists and developers, services and goods are all using adword soup to try to get anything close to a useful revenue stream and it’ll just keep getting worse until we figure out a better business model. We’re going to increasingly see paywalls to try to make up for that, but a large part of people on the internet won’t want to spend money on quality sources when they use to be able to get it for free. It’s been a race to the bottom for a while and it’s at a point that isn’t sustainable long term. AI just accelerates that to the next level.

We don’t even get the laugh track!

It’s okay, we’ll just get rid of the regulations on everything else so this one fits the norm.

Have it sync the backup files from the -2- part. You can then copy them out of the syncthing folder to a local one with a cron to rotate them. That way you get the sync offsite and you can keep them out of the rotation as long as you want.
