Why should any website operator be held responsible for complying with every stupid law in every podunk shithole jurisdiction everywhere in the world? By this logic, every site should comply with whatever unhinged BS North Korea and Saudi Arabia insist upon, too – is that what you want?
If Florida doesn’t like these websites that are not hosted in Florida, that’s Florida’s problem, not the website operators’, and Florida can do its own damn geofencing itself.
Are they exceptions?
(I didn’t mean for that to be read as a leading question, BTW. I wasn’t necessarily expecting Spain or Portugal to be different from Britain and France; I just asked about them because they were the other major colonial powers but weren’t mentioned.)
Yeah, it was Europe’s fault for getting the US to replace its utilitarian “to promote the progress of science and the useful arts” basis for copyright with ‘droite d’arteur’ moral rights (via the Berne Convention treaty) in the first place.
On other issues like immigration or racism, they are on a MAGA-level. There is no big controversy because it is widely taken for granted that European nations are ethno-states. This is less so in the former colonial powers Britain and France. But they have their own baggage that gnaws at them from within, just like the history of racial segregation undermines the USA.
What about Spain and Portugal?
I’m not convinced it’s possible to make a Free Software finance tracker with the feature that matters – synchronizing with your bank accounts – because banks (at least in the US) don’t seem to be interested in letting you connect to their API unless you’re an 800 lb gorilla, like Intuit, or at least a for-profit middleman willing to constantly jump through hoops, like Plaid.
What do you mean? New Zealand is the big winner in that classification, what with Zealandia being one of the biggest masses of sunken continental crust on Earth.
Netanyahu, although they refuse to acknowledge it.
IIRC it’s supposed to be getting better rapidly, as it’s an active focus of development for Home Assistant.
That said, I thought this seemed like a good guide on how to set it up as of 8 months ago. (I’m not necessarily a fan of that guy’s bombastic over-enthusiasm, but the info seems good.)
How do you warn people about a potential dating candidate being dangerous without doxxing the potential dating candidate? “Hey, watch out for [anonymous person]” doesn’t sound very useful.
Well, I need a reverse proxy or VPN or something so that the phones can connect to my Home Assistant server from outside the LAN. That’s the main thing I haven’t gotten done yet.
The main reason my wife and I don’t have location sharing set up isn’t because of trust or lack thereof between each other, but because I don’t trust proprietary/commercial location-sharing services.
I’ve been meaning to set up a self-hosted system (mainly because it seems like Home Assistant could do some neat automations with that info), but haven’t gotten around to it yet.
Blame minimum parking requirements. An 800 ft2 2-bedroom apartment is really 1200 ft2, when the zoning code requires one parking space per bedroom.
Then I guess I’m not looking at those pages. No skin of my nose.
That works until every website starts doing it.
Fuckers want to colonize my property (my computer). that’s what’s illegal!
I also have GrapheneOS, but have been noticing that it would (for example) annoyingly kill Voyager when I’m in the middle of writing a comment and task switch to Firefox to copy a URL or something. I switch back and it’s back on the home feed with a message that it “recovered” my comment text, but of course I have no hope of finding the thing I wanted to reply to again…
This is on a Pixel 7 that should have plenty of RAM, BTW.
high resolution, high bitrate video files are pretty large.
Can it actually transfer data fast enough to save or play them back in real-time, though?
That’s a use-case for a fuckton of total capacity, but not necessarily a fuckton of per-drive capacity. I think what the grandparent comment is really trying to say is that the capacity has so vastly outstripped mechanical-disk data transfer speed that it’s hard to actually make use of it all.
For example, let’s say you have these running in a RAID 5 array, and one of the drives fails and you have to swap it out. At 190MB/s max sustained transfer rate (figure for a 28TB Seagate Exos; I assume this new one is similar), you’re talking about over two days just to copy over the parity information and get the array out of degraded mode! At some point these big drives stop being suitable for that use-case just because the vulnerability window is so large that the risk of a second drive failure causing data loss is too great.
In my opinion your best bet is a locally licensed electrician or better yet, one who is also an amateur.
Wait, is he supposed to hire a pro or not? You can’t have it both ways!
😜
No, that’s not true. You cannot break a law when the government in question has no jurisdiction over you. The sites are not breaking Florida law because they are not subject to Florida law in the first place.
