I moved over to TabloTV about 8 or 9 years ago. I got tied of fixing stuff when I would update something and Tablo just worked on the Roku without much fuss.

I’m still happy with and love the Tablo, but it’s no better than MythTV was, just easier to maintain.

Be ready to deal with a backup plan. Consumer services like Backblaze don’t work with Linux.

I have opted into backing my data up to a local network NAS machine which in-turn backs all of its data up to a StorJ backed s3:// compatible endpoint which is very inexpensive.

It takes a vigilante to raze a village? That other way?

I mean it, just like it is defined.

I have been shamed for not providing my pronouns in Slack. I think it’s not important for me to do because it’s easy to tell my pronouns by our language. If it was ambiguous in any way, I would feel comfortable providing them.

I do not shame or care if others use them regardless of their reason (support, clarity, etc) up until that reason is to passively or actively shame others.

I don’t fuss about it, and I totally get that it can be helpful in ambiguous situations. I see it used a lot in virtue signaling, and that annoys me a lot.

I can see the solidarity angle, but I guess I’m old school and feel like the best acceptance of others is just to live and let live.

I think the “everyone anyone your pronouns” thing in email, slack, whatever is dumb. But if I lived in SD, I’d start doing it right about now.

Macroeconomically, it’s not wasteful because cars find new life in resale. It’s definitely wasteful to your pocketbook to get a new car every 5 years.

Pay to play was the problem there. I had the highest ranking joke page on webcrawler for a stint, but Yahoo wanted $500 to put me on top. My 15 year old self was not interested.
