I have been using a tool called Celeste to do upload. Might do download too?

I am a little biased because I’ve been using Debian professionally for many years now but we don’t deserve Debian. It is fantastically stable and reliable and makes an excellent platform for running your services off of. If you are at all interested in offering some time and energy to the open source community, consider adopting a Debian package!

seems like a good thread to plug https://represent.us

they describe themselves as

RepresentUs is America’s leading nonpartisan anti-corruption organization fighting to fix our broken and ineffective government. We unite people across the political spectrum to pass laws that hold corrupt politicians accountable, defeat special interests, and force the government to meet the needs of the American people.

here’s their policy platform https://represent.us/policy-platform/

they claim to have played a part in over 185 pieces of legislation (mostly at the state level) that contributed to their core platform https://represent.us/our-wins/

here are their ongoing campaigns presented state by state https://represent.us/2024-campaigns/

nobody and no organization are perfect but I feel like most people can find something to agree on here

Well put

Agreed!

No man can walk out of his own story.

I’m not gonna dispute that QoL seems to be dropping in the US but statements like this one in the article:

Personal safety has become an increasing concern for many Americans, with rising crime rates and social unrest contributing to a sense of insecurity.

Really highlights how this is a propaganda puff piece in itself. Whatever it’s selling, this bit is silly fearmongering. Actual crime did seem to spike during the height of the covid response but has since continued it’s drop to historic lows. America was significantly worse off crimewise in the 80s. We are living in some of the most crime-free years this country has seen since we started tracking the numbers. And now, unlike this article, I will post some fucking sources.

I don’t know how many times it needs to be said but felonies don’t fix problems. Deterrence keeps honest people honest. IMHO we should almost certainly read news stories like this as reminders that American needs better mental health policy and infrastructure. People who are experiencing mental illness do not magically go away when we ignore them. Slapping felonies on people makes it harder for them to improve their lives, not easier.

Sorry for the rant, just needed to say it today.

Jellyfin is such a great piece of software and I’m so glad the main project has the funds they need. I follow one of the lead android tv app developers and I’ll absolutely plug him as a great place to send some donations. These people do enterprise grade work as a hobby and absolutely deserve a few of our dollars.

I really like Manjaro. I’ve been running it on my personal computer for many years now, however, I would not recommend it for grandma’s computer. Their “delayed and curated” release strategy mostly just works but when it doesn’t it doesn’t. As someone mentioned elsewhere in the comments I would lean towards Red Hat or Debian for more mindless distros. I’ve administered thousands of Debian package updates and distro upgrades and it’s so stable. We don’t deserve Debian.
