I use this for networked Time Machine backups for multiple Macs in my household. Works just as well over tailscale VPN.

One of my COVID projects was to set up a networked Time Machine backup on Raspberry Pi.

Every single one of the blogspam sites (lifehacker, howtogeek, etc.) told you to use AFP/HFS+/Netatalk. I had so many problems with this. Time Machine would work well the first few times and then slow to a crawl. If there was a power outage, look out. The whole thing would be corrupted. It wasn't the network. FTP and scp worked just fine.

Eventually I found one blog that told you how to do it with SMB and ext4. It was that site that I learned about the much malignment of AFP and HFS+. SMB/ext4 worked like a charm. Six years later and not a single hiccup.

Also works for System 7 based Macintoshes. In case you got frozen in a glacier in 1991.

Nah, classic Macintosh OSes aren't compatible with modern AFP.

They are compatible with netatalk though. The project split between version 2 and 3, but in recent releases they folded them back into a single thing. Current netatalk releases support all versions of AFP.

I've found hot water has the same laxative effect as coffee in the form of herbal tea.

What are the peptides you're using for hEDS?

BPC157/TB5, IPA/CJC-NoDac, VIP, and Semaglutide (ozempic). Semaglutide was the most effective long term for autoimmune but the others really helped with CCI and other physical ailments. I take a combo of modafinil in the morning and amitryptiline at night as a treatment for dysautonomia and dopamine dysregulation. I started Low Dose Naltrexone and supplemental T3 hormone and this is a good place for most with hEDS to start with.

If you don't mind sharing, which symptoms abated with the use of these peptides? Email in profile if you feel you'd share only in private.

The worst for me was the chronic fatigue with a strong brain fog component, pretty much all of my symptoms have abated, I still have a residual general anxiety disorder and I still get post exertional malaise so I avoid doing anything that'll take my heart rate over 150. I had pretty much all the standard hEDS symptoms though not as much MCAS and I'm very hypermobile.

Thank you for sharing.

It's a well known fact that 1 Picture == 1000 words.

I've often used this in silly pseudo-proofs demonstrating that words have little to no value.

Given that a picture is worth 1000 words, a film (being a string of pictures) at 24fps is 129600 pictures in 90 minutes, and viewing a film might cost $15: a word can be rented for $0.000116 or at a rate of roughly 86 words per penny.

This also tracks well with paperback novels as 70k words would be a little over $8 and 100k words would be just under $12.

That said, I have nothing but the vaguest sense of what an average movie or book costs these days. Are movies $15? Does walmart still have the $5 bin?

What about books? I know that the last time I was in a book store I was somewhat shocked by the prices but that was years ago.

Although, the local used good probably still sells both media for $1/ea. If that's the case, there's an easy frugality argument in the 90 minute movie being worth ~130k words against most novels topping out under 100k.

30 pictures a second for reasonable video, haha

Just burn money.

Priced into the premium. It's not your run of the mill health insurance.

When I actually climbed one of the 6K meter peaks I had to get some special alpine insurance. Don’t remember the details. Was a long time ago.

Same anecdote, keep my phone in my saddle bag now.

I haven't been in the App Store ecosystem in a while, but the restriction is generally on running new Machine Code, all machine code needs to be signed on iOS. Interpreters get around this limitation, only the interpreter code that is compiled AoT and signed is actually running.

This tracks as the reasoning behind a lack of other browser engines, nobody can get comparable performance without a JIT, which would be compiling net new machine code that wasn't shipped with the binary.

The best way to handle this I would imagine within the current bounds of Apple's restrictions would be WASM.

Apps don't get removed for breaking that rule, though, because they can't break it in the first place. The system won't allow you to mark a freshly written page as executable.

FlightAware and Flighty are usually within seconds of each other and always ahead of the airlines.

The SAT is a measure of test-taking ability, socioeconomic status, a narrow band of academic skills, and processing information under time pressure.

I don't think it measures much else.

Why do you think the SAT is a measure of hard work or character?

You think test-taking and information processing ability comes without hard work?

I think cognitive ability is a real thing with a genuine genetic component; twin studies make that pretty hard to deny. But the SAT measures a narrow slice of ability under conditions that favor prep access, and speaking from experience, scoring well on standardized tests without having to work for it hurt me long term. I coasted on test-taking ability and didn't develop real discipline until adulthood.

Without standardized tests, my transcript probably doesn't get me into a top school, I likely don't end up in tech, and honestly maybe I would've been forced to develop a work ethic earlier, which might have been better for me.
