He’s not, he’s merely asking to be worth $1T.

It’s cheaper in the long run, which is probably about 5 years, maybe less. Those fees are astronomical.

In fact, I’d be willing to donate some time to help a small business transition to Postgres.

In practice, pretty low! In the vast majority of cases, people are released within a few hours and not sent to one of the larger detention facilities. As much as the news sensationalizes the handful of cases where that doesn’t happen, the likelihood is still quite low that I wouldn’t get due process.

If I saw an ICE operation in my neighborhood, I wouldn’t be too worried about going up to them and demanding their name and badge number. I’m not going to be “disappeared” or anything like that, especially as a US citizen. The vast majority of those targeted are actually illegal immigrants, and the extras arrested are often obstructing justice in one way or another. If I approach it completely legally, I don’t think I’d be falsely accused of something else by those officers.

Don’t get me wrong, I am 100% against what ICE is doing. I think they’re being a bit too fast and loose with their information, such that they arrest or detain far too many people without actual cause, and those they do arrest with cause they mistreat. I’m not necessarily against illegal immigrants getting deported, but that should be handled with respect and restraint, at least until we get policy to get these good people on some form of temporary status. If someone currently has work here, there should be a really easy way to get that turned into a legal work visa.

Yup. If someone is abducting someone else and doesn’t self-identify, that sounds like an open and shut self-defense case, provided you survive the encounter.

That depends on who you ask, but likely the courts would side with a citizen requesting ID. The policy seems to be that they must “when it is practical and safe to do so.”

AFAIK, this issue has not been tried in court though.

At a certain point, we should just arrest the President, Vice President, and cabinet while we work through the paperwork. I don’t know much about Chuck Grassley, but he can run things while we get through the trials.

Lol. You never know when one might jump out at you from the forest or something. Don’t get too close though, just spray and run away.

Nice! And it’s far less illegal of you happen to go to a national or state park or something. Good idea, I have some bear spray from when I went to Glacier National Park, I’ll have to bring them around in case I meet a particularly nasty one.

You may also consider carrying a firearm. It’s hibernation season, and the bears can get a bit frisky.

An ICE officer may ignore evidence of American citizenship—including a birth certificate—if the app says the person is an alien

Cool, so I guess that means I can ignore evidence of the person/people at the door being law enforcement before enforcing my 2nd Amendment rights and state self-defense laws that also allow me to shoot to protect others.

That’s the beautiful thing, we just print more so people don’t notice how much we actually spend on things. Inflation goes brr, but people blame the corpos.

We’re working on it, apparently.

And flu and cold season. Consider wearing gloves to keep your hands safe from diseases as well. Consider tinted glasses as well to keep the sun out of your eyes, and a hat or hoodie to protect from rain or snow.

Just basic health things, completely unrelated to cameras or anything.

We are though. COVID-19 strains have become endemic, which is the step after pandemic if the disease is not eradicated. So it’s like the flu now.

A lot of cameras ID you by your eyes, so a medical mask wouldn’t really work. If you use a mask + something like Reflectacles, you’ll probably be okay.

Hopefully they just don’t kno a how bad things are on the ground. Everything looks fine when your head is buried in the sand.

Alright, that’s it, I’m going full juggalo.

Yeah, ideally something like Immich is just some metadata pointing at existing files. An album should be some combination of synced directories (i.e. new files added outside Immich should be detected and added, if selected) and individual files.

That doesn’t sound that complex. Maybe I’ll look into Immich and see about adding that. I don’t currently use it, but I don’t have an image solution, so I’ll give it a shot.

Release the specs so users can maintain them themselves.

I haven’t really needed to, I just show them. I open up Jellyfin and explain that I put all the movies I own there so I don’t need to find the discs or pay for a service like Netflix. Or I’ll show them my OCIS setup with LibreOffice online and explain that I don’t need Google Docs or Microsoft Office 365. If they ask where it runs, I point to the server on my desk.

Everyone has their own reasons for doing it, and I think they can draw their own conclusions just by seeing it in action.
