Who will be the first to de-blur the second QR code in the demo video?

Zulip still looks like the best choice for me, mainly because of the threading. Trying out alternatives that integrate with UnifiedPush, none seem spectacular yet.

Australians are not alone in enduring misery induced by governments that have grown too large and controlling.

I was expecting it to be a pet project that took an old telephone that had the extra ABCD keys, run it through an arduino/AVR and into a USB port.

Cloudflare is the largest, unnecessary, impediment on the internet nowadays.

I do as well. If anything looks remotely similar to what I'm providing the free labor for classifying, I make sure to click that in the tiniest of hopes it does mess up their training.

Unsure about the entire US... For my area they were called "window fans" in previous times. Before air conditioning was prevalent, you'd use these box fans, placed in the window, to circulate air to provide a more comfortable environment.

In years past, the fans were beefier than the current generation. They also used metal fins. Speaking into one made a vaguely similar effect to speaking Like Darth Vader. It was entertaining as a child.

These might not be specific to Stripe.

South Dakota for personal use. Delaware for corporate. Nevada for secrecy.

I would make a chart of what features you desire then fill it in with information from the possible states.

Works great, depending on what you want to do. Running on SBCs or computers with cheap sata cards will greatly reduce the performance. It's been running well for years after I found out the issues regarding SMR drives and the SATA card bottlenecks.

45Drives has a homelab setup if you're looking for a canned solution.

Looks like the vendor went all in on "AI" translation. "Air Screwdriver" is the description of a product image.

I've used them for Frigate as well and agree that they are amazing.
