What OS should I install on my old refurb Dell SFF desktop for general use and why am I going to install #Debian again no matter what people respond?

@futurebird Civil asset forfeiture is a hell of a perverse incentive, especially for smaller departments.

@futurebird 50% of marriages end in divorce. I have heard this over and over again from the pulpit at church (a few weeks ago, most recently) and no facts or new information will ever take its place.

@futurebird I think you nailed it here. Winning in his mind means that someone else has to lose. Who that is is largely irrelevant. He'll find someone. (It probably helps that he has never lacked for people who dislike him.)

@futurebird Scheme [plan] No. 5Postal-pigeon links [networks]in the city of Moscow defense systemNice find. DoD--er, DoW--is probably contracting with Lockheed Martin for anti-pigeon missile defense systems as I write this.

@robotistry @futurebird @epicdemiologist In fairness, I am also mostly unable to bend over and pick up objects off the ground. ;)

RE: https://mastodon.social/@SeanCasten/115633576663249664This is an excellent thread which I can now quote-boost to add #USpol for the benefit of filters.Many people I know still in uniform are deeply concerned about staying on the right side of international laws of warfare. Believe it or not, we spend a lot of effort to minimize unnecessary killing. That was a large part of my job in 2016-7 in the counter-ISIS fight.This administration's approach is a a recurring slap in the face to the professional military.

set up a new #Jellyfin docker container on my #TrueNAS box using a yaml fileworks great until I try to watch a video, at which time the system promptly overheats and shuts down.So um, that ain't great.Troubleshooting ahead. Meanwhile, I guess I'll just play it through VLC on my laptop instead.

Update: turns out my browser (and the ancient Amazon Fire Stick client) can't handle some codecs so #Jellyfin had to transcode on the fly and that caused my serverCPU to spike bc I don't have GPU support enabled to the container yet and that caused an overheat which shut down server twiceSo- fix glaring CPU cooking problem- enable GPU in docker container- side load modern Jellyfin client to my FireStick so this isn't an issueMeanwhile I am building the best streaming service EVAR

That was supposed to be "cooling" not "cooking" but it works either way in contextLooks like I cannot sideload a newer Jellyfin so I may be stuck with v0.19.4 that is in the Amazon app store from years ago. Meh.

@futurebird In my later years in the army during classes or briefings, I almost always asked questions that I knew the answer to (or thought I did) because1. It allowed _the presenter_ to elaborate on something that maybe not everyone knew (supporting _their_ task, not my ego)2. It normalized curiosity and admitting less than perfect knowledge even by senior "experts"3. SOMEONE in the room wanted to know but was afraid to ask the question because we don't do 2 nearly enough
