You mean probably the most popular pics of her?

That was an extra, I wouldn't worry about it.

So I know whether to waste my time

Sadly I think we'll have to take the water to them.

My current approach is building a media center for me, as a model for one I'll send to my siblings/friends.

Besides being a media center, it'll enable replication between them, with some backup services for laptops and phones. And some replacements for things like facebook/photo sharing, etc (and have a chat mechanism, most likely via XMPP).

And...it'll have something like PiHole that I'll manage centrally.

"Devitio"

"raw dogging the Internet"... I chuckled out loud

One day, after I am done with -insert reason here-, I will have a bad ass, well thought out backup solution.

For some reason you're "insert reason here" was dropped by lemmy. I guess a sequential less-than/greater-than messes with it.

It's the difficulty, Plain and simple.

I knew in the late 90's what was coming, and have tried to minimize my own exposure, but family and friends just want the convenience.

I have a friend who specializes in network and data security and he uses all the privacy-invading garbage like Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok, etc, because "it's convenient". 🤦🏼

We need a simple, seamless solution to provide the features people want.

We have some of these things in Freedombox, CasaOS, and some OSS solutions, etc, but these are all beyond the skills of the average user. They're even a big challenge for me, because I'm busy.

Though I'm working on a single-box solution for my family, and which provides backup to each other, media server, phone backup (mostly photos and videos), etc.

It's pretty hard to do when phones are resistant to third party solutions.

Right?

$450 and a toaster to use something like the external batteries I've used for a decade.

Nope.

Just watched them all a few weeks ago, still very funny, see nothing wrong with any of it. The movies are all about absurdity.

Ah, yes, hahaha, I was so confused!

Totally off the wall question, which I realize probably isn't very meaningful, but I was watching a movie where a character was using a suppressed rifle. Looked like an AR/.223 (I assume).

Well it got me thinking - how much can a given gun be suppressed (decibel reduction) before performance is significantly reduced (I assume it must impact performance, even if just a little since it's attenuating sound waves, which are energy, but what do I know?).

I'm sure it varies by round/load, barrel length, etc, so let's assume a subsonic .223 round in a 14" barrel (is that a common lenth?). Or if you know a specific case that's fine too.

Surely there are reasons why a given suppressor is chosen for a specific use case, and I don't know enough to see that (diminishing returns for length/weight?)

I tried asking chatgpt, but it just returned generic suppressor info.
