In the US context, the founding of public libraries were most famously and substantially supported by Carnegie. A man of "crime and robbery" if there ever was one. When you hear "philanthropist" think "tax evasion". Not to mention how he came into possession of all that loot in the first place.

I agree with the author's point broadly but it's not well made.

a lot of pups

I found there was too much cat stuff on threadiverse at first. I enjoy a cat in a box or a cat on a keyboard or "this is my life now" or even wearing a kitten as a hat here or there but the whole things was cats cats cats with arch linux memes mixed in.

a pup fucking a pumpkin

oh pups. lol.

I understood OP to be talking about mobile specifically. If there is a way to get the userstyles on mobile it's gotta be like 20 steps long. If someone could somehow wrap it all up in an easy package that would be one thing but idk if it's really a viable solution.

they don't want to do it as a hobby. they want to have other hobbies.

Hello I have also literally spent thousands of hours on the general topic of self hosting and related stuff such as linux, filesystems, networking, hardware, software etc etc. Yes, it is possible to be this stupid.

Here is my simple math:

2000 hours / 12 hour days = 167 days. I have been generally building up on this subject for about 10 years. And in COVID I had a lot of blocks of days where I was just at the computer. For more than 12 hours. I think I have easily spent more than 2000 hours.

I still have extremely rickety set up that mostly isn't doing any of the things I want. It's fine for me because I have learned a lot, have fun, and nothing is mission critical. If I had money/business that was reliant on this I would absolutely pay someone! That is just part of doing business. Especially if anyone else was at all reliant upon it. If I have employees or the work I do is important than it is only respectful and professional to swallow the costs to ensure it is done at quality. And even if its just for my own use, not everyone enjoys this stuff and still want to be free of google etc.

Everyone here reminds me of all the shitty landlords who do such a bad job of "fixing" things themselves instead of paying the going rate for a trade to come do it right and to code. Like 3 visits to install an interior doorknob and never getting it right. Like dude, just admit you aren't any good at installing doorknobs. And please don't go near the plumbing.

when people say this I always think of the little tray of wheatgrass I used to grow on my counter sometimes

touching it was just about as useful as anything else you could do with it

cat liked to nibble on it though

I agree the other comment is a bit crass and small minded. It sounds like a very painful situation.

But... for ten (10) years your wife is terrorized by a website on a specific day....? Sounds like it could have been mitigated no?

  • don't go on facebook
  • don't go to work (if your job intrinsically involves using facebook or you just can't resist it)
  • have someone triage/screen your facebook on this specific day

delete/hide the post

my condolences to your wife for the loss of her father.

Should blocking a user still allow them to vote on your posts?

Yes

Otherwise it would be possible block all users who disagree with you to ensure 100% positive upvotes.


and gollygosh sweetheart why are you even in a situation to be looking at all this? 1x account downvoting you is totaly survivable. feel free to downvote me. :)
