   7. I have no desire to be a political prisoner abducted to leverage a concession from the west. Same reason I would avoid Russia, North Korea, or probably areas of Mexico with cartels. See Michael Spavor, Michael Kovrig, and Brit Gringer.

   Any advice that has worked for you on learning to sketch? I have a journal while travelling, and I don't have a lot of artistic talent but have always wanted sketch landscapes, objects, or people in.

   I am not the OP, but I just don't have the mental bandwidth or care to invest in these random swings and title changes at the whim of billionaires. I don't use either site, am not in tech, and my social circle will still refer to

   It's hard to think of many services that haven't disappeared or gone to shit over the last twenty years. Even if you have a friend in a company that manages this for you and could help you out they might not be around or at that c

   I would also vote for FolderSync. I run seafile and nextcloud for other purposes, but have settled using FolderSync for phone --> NAS nightly backups and it is slick. I've been using Photoview to view backed up photos locally.

   I've worked at a few different hospitals that still use addressograph imprinters with plastic cards to label reqs, stickers, and chart sheets. I imagine it's a niche skill to maintain these machines.

   I run Kodi on a 2019 Nvidia shield "tube" model. My media and previously jellyfin is on a NAS that serves the content over nfs to the shield. Shield--Receiver--TV. Look into the maven Kodi build if you have something similar. My s

    I appreciate it and the civilized discussion! I might need to take another look at the next major version release. The passthrough stuff if objectively easy to check : tv shows hdr/dv logo, receiver tells me the encoding. I wonder if i

    I'm not sure what to say. Unless this is a recent change in my experience it does not work as intended. I spent a lot of time playing with the various transcoding settings and per user settings and direct path access or the regular way

    Cool software. I used it within/in parallel to Kodi to sync a couple devices but ended up removing this layer. I didn't like that you can't outright disable transcoding for content served via their app or in the browser. I s

    Good grief. Seems like a reasonable proposal for a 17th century slave ship but thats about it. The Ars comment about just horizontally stacking passengers is pretty apt.

    For those hosting their own Reddit/libreddit instance doesn't that reduce anonymity to Reddit by having only a single user? I have been using public ones to mix my traffic in with others.

    I acknowledge your point but disagree with the logic behind it. Perhaps someone has died from a dog allergy but not any significant amount to affect society and the medical systems capability to deal with everything else. This was a one in

    I think your argument is disingenuously reductive but I'll bite: yeah. Life over limb is not a hard argument. Thankfully nobody is going around chopping off fingers. Would you donate blood to save lives? Or reduce a company's prof

    I work in healthcare and attended on COVID wards when that was a thing. One perspective to consider is resource limitation as how it affected individuals and their families. There are folks who would have died in the peaks due to resource l

    I agree that they aren't exactly good citizens in the corporate sense, I'm all for regulation to step in if companies won't voluntarily do it. To your point Google does unlock their bootloaders so they seem OK with it for the

    I liked my Samsung phones but after the a couple of them went end of life despite being very usable I am never buying one of their devices again and sticking with Pixel. There should be an Android code of ethics or regulation to unlock boot

    I guess that works if you feel Twitter is valued reasonably (or even has a positive value on a societal level with externalities). I don't work in tech so have a different view on the wild west of the tech industry than most on that he

    The article seems misleading. My read is of the 1.4% of harddrives that failed, they failed on average with 3 years. My take away is avoid Seagate due to a higher rate of failure and that 98.6% of drives last 10 years.

    Seropositive RA is a specific but variable condition. Seronegative RA... you are quite right. It's almost easier to group by a rational treatment approach for a chronic inflammatory polyarthritis that looks like RA clinically rather th

    I'm surprised to see an article on rheumatoid arthritis (RA) at the top of HN. RA is a complicated disease. This is interesting but there is already data implicating infections like P. gingevalis, EBV, Parvovirus B19 with plausible mec
