Avid Amoeba@lemmy.cato World News@lemmy.ml•Live updates - Israel launches major strike on Iran's nuclear and military sites.5·4 days agoInfluential commentator Tucker Carlson urges Trump to ‘drop’ Israel
Carlson has been a leading voice within right-wing circles calling for Trump to avoid being dragged to war with Iran by Israel.
After Israel attacked Iran, the talk-show host, who spoke at the Republican National Convention last year, said the US should not support Netanyahu’s “war-hungry government” in the conflict.
“If Israel wants to wage this war, it has every right to do so. It is a sovereign country, and it can do as it pleases. But not with America’s backing,” the Tucker Carlson Network morning newsletter read.
It added that a war with Iran could “fuel the next generation of terrorism” or lead to the killing of thousands of Americans in the name of a foreign agenda.
“It goes without saying that neither of those possibilities would be beneficial for the United States,” the newsletter said. “But there is another option: drop Israel. Let them fight their own wars.”
Interesting 🤔

Probably not.

Then of course you eventually find it during the course of doing something random.
Avid Amoeba@lemmy.cato Selfhosted@lemmy.world•I've massively improved my home organization with this free and open-source [Self-Hosted] tool [HomeBox]English3·7 days agoThat’s nice. I suppose you could do the same by printing a bunch of UUIDs on QR codes and add the UUIDs to the respective location in the system.
What I’m doing is even easier. I use an X-Y coordinate system. I assign a letter to a storage unit, e.g. a Kallax is assigned “A”. Then each bin horizontally is X and each bin vertically is Y in A:X:Y. Then fairly easily I can determine that the third bin on the second shelf is A:3:2. That’s short enough to type in a search field. It’s also easy enough to locate a shelf coming from A:X:Y. If the shelf has only one dimension, like a bunch of drawers, I use just one number. This system is fairly easy to learn and eliminates the need for physically tagging every bin or drawer. Doesn’t work for unstructured storage, like boxes on the floor or other shameful things that we all have. 😄

I’m currently using Google Keep (don’t judge) with special title format and gotta move out of there.

Avid Amoeba@lemmy.caOPto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Friendly reminder that Tailscale is VC-funded and driving towards IPOEnglish1·7 days agoWhat you want to look at is the size of the hate and the material reasons for it. And that’s fairly difficult to measure if you’re not paying close attention. Plex hate has been growing dramatically over the last few years because they materially changed their service. They began collecting data some time ago and now they are selling it unless you go and opt out. So the hate is much larger and louder for that reason. For me those last changes were the straw that made it clear we’re just one small push for profit away from my sailing habits getting sold to the American copyright lobby. So I’m currently trialling Jellyfin.
In addition as some have highlighted Jellyfin is markedly different from Plex or Emby in that it’s open source and if something happens to it, forking is the way out, which already happened since Jellyfin is a fork of Emby. Migrating from one open source project to its fork is usually trivial compared to migrating from a proprietary service to another one. And there’s no reasonable chance of my data ending up in the RIAA/MPAA’s hands. So the Plex -> Jellyfin switch everyone is doing is not merely switching to another horse. It’s more like switching to completely different vehicle that you can maintain indefinitely.
E: This process we currently call “enshittification” (not a new process) has now been experienced by wide swaths of people where previously only a small minority understood it. I think that drives faster and wider reaction to these patterns as they’re now very familiar. I think that’s a good thing. I used to give corporations more benefit of the doubt and think in balance but then I did not understand why they do what they do. Now I do and the benefit of the doubt is gone unless there’s something material to support it. Like having open source clients.
Sorry, C-2. 😄 It’s got some Patriot Act-y stuff in it. Look up coverage on it.
I’m currently trying that but the proposed information sharing changes with the US in Bill
C-5C-2 change the calculus. I’m sure part of the push comes from the American copyright lobby.

Avid Amoeba@lemmy.caOPto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Friendly reminder that Tailscale is VC-funded and driving towards IPOEnglish1·7 days agoWhat do you mean by going in a similar way? Towards an IPO?
Avid Amoeba@lemmy.caOPto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Friendly reminder that Tailscale is VC-funded and driving towards IPOEnglish2·7 days agoNot so much ire than awareness and planning so we don’t get caught pants down. I’ve been using them for 5 years, in part because their clients (for my OSes) are open source and there was a path out of their infrastructure. I paid for it and have a pretty elaborate setup which supports services for family and friends. I’ve been happy so far, but will be decoupling from their infrastructure. No ire for them, just for the system. The system makes people and firms do what they do. 😄
Avid Amoeba@lemmy.caOPto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Friendly reminder that Tailscale is VC-funded and driving towards IPOEnglish4·7 days agoHuh, I actually didn’t know this because I don’t use Windows/macOS/iOS. Somehow completely missed this.
Avid Amoeba@lemmy.caOPto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Friendly reminder that Tailscale is VC-funded and driving towards IPOEnglish14·8 days agoYeah, as I said, it’s a friendly reminder. I’m personally probably doing it this year. It’s entirely possible that enshittification could come even years from now. It all depends on how their enterprise adoption goes I think. The more money they make there, the longer the individual users are gonna be left unsqueezed.
Avid Amoeba@lemmy.caOPto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Friendly reminder that Tailscale is VC-funded and driving towards IPOEnglish12·8 days agoWell not “the” backend server but “a” different backend server. As far as I know Headscale is a separate implementation from what Tailscale run themselves.
Avid Amoeba@lemmy.caOPto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Friendly reminder that Tailscale is VC-funded and driving towards IPOEnglish5·8 days agoI think it would be cool if Tailscale made it into the enterprise arena.
I think they already have started. Telus is on their list of clients.
Avid Amoeba@lemmy.caOPto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Friendly reminder that Tailscale is VC-funded and driving towards IPOEnglish3·8 days agoNah, DNS is separate and these features are indeed pretty great. I think Headscale can also do them. I think I tested MagicDNS if I recall correctly.
Avid Amoeba@lemmy.caOPto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Friendly reminder that Tailscale is VC-funded and driving towards IPOEnglish3·8 days agoIf there’s no one who can replace you with someone else, if you don’t deliver profit growth that they expect, then there’s a chance for you to apply principle over profit because it’s up to you. Many if not most corporations however can and do replace corporate leadership that doesn’t deliver profit growth with one that does. In these circumstances, leadership can rarely put principle over profit without being replaced. Many if not most of us see the direct effects of this process on our lives, working to get ever more of our incomes and health. This process hasn’t stopped and hasn’t slowed down. The opposite. This is why you’re hearing us grinding against capitalism as we can see the system all around us grinding us down. This is why it’s likely you’ll keep hearing it and it’s likely gonna get louder. I might not have your product in my home. If I do, I might be very happy with it because you’re not trying to get as much money out of me as you can. However I am certain without checking that I have Unilever, Kraft, Nestle, PepsiCo, Google and so on, and I know they are. You probably do too and they’re probably skinning you just as much. This is what capitalism is for us and we will grind against it because our standard of living is falling and it’s not because of people like you. Small businesses have much more in common with us in this, than large corporations, or small corporations funded by large capital of different kinds. I’m an employee of a very large, well known American corporation that has strategically stopped making products that were objectively better for its customers but had lower margins, replacing them with much more expensive, higher margin ones. I’m not getting anything from the difference. Our major shareholders do.
I don’t know if anyone has any real information but I’d think Iran would be shooting air bases and such. Targets that hurt Israel’s ability to hurt Iran. Israel’s command probably cares less about a residential building (full of people or empty) than a hangar with F35s.
