The kbin logo not linking directly to home was probably one of my top UI gripes. I'm glad to see it get changed. Still hoping there will be an easier way to bring up the list of subscribed magazines.

I had to re-install my PWA, but it now adheres to the rotation setting on my phone. I'm using a Samsung Android phone so it may depend on the OS.

Reddit is what it is. Reddit doesn't have to be a $15 billion company. It has value to its users and to the world, even if it doesn't give its shareholders a huge return.

I think that's the biggest problem. Reddit could probably be a moderately profitable company and more or less keep the status quo as far as user experience. That is not, however, what the shareholders want. They want a huge payout when the the company does its' IPO and don't care at all what happens after. To that end, they need to monetize the crap out of every single user to extract as much perceived value and thus valuation.

Rub some vegetable oil on it or let it sit in a shallow plate of the oil for a few minutes. Then just clean it all off with dish soap.

Maybe reddit does that thing that Apple does where they have multiple siloed teams work on the same or similar things and just use the one that comes up with the best solution. So they have 80 independent devs each working on their own app and the current app is the least shitty out of all of them. Either that or they have like 50 shitty apps, 20 decent apps, 9 brilliant apps, and the one that they went with which was done by spez's nephew who took a coding bootcamp one summer and is really good at mobile dev.

Think of it as kindling for a fire. It's not going to fuel the platform long term but it's probably appealing to a lot of folks right now. Hopefully it will spur engagement which will then spread to other more interesting and sustainable topics.

I was really hoping they would take Jaime Jacquez Jr. I think he's an instant contributor and would have fit Leborn's timeline. Plus he would have been an instant crowd favorite. I guess the Heat thought so too and picked him up 1 spot later.

The first live tennis match I ever saw was Nishikori at the 2019 US Open. He's a player that lived in the shadow of the big 3 his entire career. It'd be great if he could sustain his health for long enough to really measure himself against this current generation.

Large Adversary.

Tiafoe has always been a high ceiling player who could challenge the best on his good days. It looks like he's made some strides in his mental game and his consisteny has improved. It's great to see the hard work paying off with his second title of the year.

Sean Bean with a small one time appearance as a doomed redshirt... and he miraculously survives. Then he gives a big ol troll face to the camera before credits roll.

How else are you going to get that 15 years of experience required for that entry level position?

I think it's a healthy part of the growth of the Fediverse. Maybe it ends up being a good idea, maybe not. Hopefully everyone can keep an open mind and learn some lessons along the way both with successes and failures. Let's be real, if this is what kills the Fediverse then the Fediverse was doomed from the start.

This is all early days and I'm just enjoying the ride. It's really just refreshing that it's not some VC backed mega corp making these decision.

Running the hypervisors built in to unraid or truenas are certainly options but proxmox/VMware are just easier. If you're learning about virtualization, you're going to find a lot more resources for proxmox/VMware. Conversely the storage capabilities of proxmox/VMware are either severely limited in the case of VMware or just not particularly user friendly for proxmox. By virtualizing your storage OS you can get the best of both worlds for some situations. Sure, there are situations where it's a bad idea but if you've only got one machine and it has plenty of resources it can be very effective.

Heck even if the main function for the NAS is just windows shares, that full blown storage OS is going to give you redundancy, snapshots, and replication. I'd say those are pretty important even for Windows shares.
