  • TIL that wasps are pollinators. Not sure why but growing up I was always informed that they are not. They were predators who did not provide honey and so there was no need for them to be near flowers for pollen. Either I’m old or I grew up in a really shorty education system. (WhyNotBoth.gif)

    Thanks to this image I looked it up and learned something. Thanks for teaching me something new today!




  • Yeah. You put about 3 times the effort on your first point but have a shit ton of sources for your second. Doesn’t add up.

    Also Robert Mueller was prevented from looking into the money trail during the investigation that’s why he found nothing. Puppet… maybe not but influenced absolutely. Why the heck would the US government do a 180 on our stance of helping Ukraine after President Trump was elected. “We will still maybe kinda possibly help you but you have to give us your rare minerals and be willing to lose land”

    This guy doesn’t want to help Americans. Only those who have tons of money. Anything to help line his pockets and his friends.

    He has shut down all information flow for health and scientific research. This means we’re sitting in the dark about potential pandemics and deadly diseases. Mpox and the strain of bird flue being the top two at the moment of many people’s list. This doesn’t even touch the measles outbreak in Texas. Measles had essentially been eradicated, but thanks for the anti-VAX push from the right We’re now dealing with something that the prior generations had worked very hard to eliminate.



  • Similar to the others although I have messed with Ubuntu, CentOS, Fedora, and even a few others for like a day or two each.

    At the moment I am using Fedora. My drives are raided and my main storage has all the data and the docker config directory’s.

    Using docker for everything, watchtower for updates, and pertained to manage the containers with a gui. All the containers are directed to /mnt/drive/allMyData. In there is my data folders. Shows, movies, plex configs for recording over the air, ebooks, documents, etc.

    Mainly I set it up this way so I can easily change distros if I wanted to and have all my services back up in an hour or so.

    I started a text file that contains the command lines I have used to start all of my docker containers. This way if I need to I reference it and use the exact same commands mapped volumes to the same folders. Now I am back up and running in a few clicks. No need to backup the container if all the data in it is setup in folders in my main data directory.

    However I am running a separate hardware raid setup prior to os. This way all my data stays safe as a separate volume.





  • I know I may come off bad with this question but I ran into it a while back and felt like a fool.

    What show were you trying to watch, and does that show come in UHD.

    When I had it I would stream to the TV so it may be different but not all shows and movies Netflix has comes in 4K.

    It may all not give you that option because the resolution of the M3 MacBook Air is 2560x1664 and not actually 4k (3840 x 2160) I understand the pixel density changes things but the native resolution is what I am referencing. Unfortunately Netflix is not going to stream a higher resolution than the display natively supports from my understanding. May not hurt to hit up support with Netflix to see they can do anything to get it to stream 4K. Maybe they’ll even refund your money.
