I grew up in Hawaii, I got called a haole by everyone. It wasn’t hateful.

One of my favorite anecdotes is about a class at UH-Manoa taught by a haole woman who had moved to Hawaii in the late 60s. A student complained about being called haole, and the professor responded “if you’re white in Hawaii you can be one of three things: a haole, a dumb haole, or a dumb fucking haole.”

Remember how FDR got reelected so many times they amended the constitution after he died to keep presidents to two terms?

 

Back in 1973, Rene Vienet, a member of the Situationist International, detourned an entire kung fu film, making “Can Dialectics Break Bricks?” Worth a watch if you have the time.

He’s more or less said that exact thing.

If this is a trend, the supply of emotionally stunted young adults who immediately latch on to significantly older people for romantic purposes is secure for at least another few years. /s

I feel this a lot. Between people moving away and turning inward, I have maybe one or two really good friends.

Here’s hoping he and Cornyn make such a hash of the primary that Colin Allred can win in the general.

Yeah, actually. If you’re interested in learning more, here’s a relatively short read that cover a lot of the basics: https://crimethinc.com/tce

Fun fact, the drinking age in much of the country was lowered to 18 during Vietnam, with the explicit reasoning that if an 18 year old boy could be drafted and sent off to kill and die, he should be able to have a drink with his friends and family before shipping out. The federal government used the lever of withholding freeway funds to push states into adopting the drinking age change back to 21 after the draft was deactivated.

I remember reading about a hotel in Japan that has been open for over a millennium, and IIRC it’s owned by the same family who has owned it for most of that time, and that’s their only business. We need more of that: steady-state businesses that operate but don’t pursue permanent growth.

I hope someone drives over that judge’s lawn every day for the rest of their life. Just leaving it a muddy tracked mess.

 
 

I’m a noob with sourdough and I have been having a hard time getting information on how to maintain a consistent amount of starter. Is it generally appropriate to discard half and replace that half with fresh flour and water?

Related, is “discard” in any meaningful way different from the starter itself, or are the recipes for discard scones/crackers/whatever just labeled that because you aren’t using the starter for rise?

 

I started reading this book by Gabor Maté, a doctor who has ADHD. In just the first chapter, I felt seen in a way that I have never experienced with any therapist or psychiatrist I have consulted in almost 47 years.

Over 7,000 students see their lunch debts wiped after $1 million donation

Over 7,000 students in Georgia with unpaid lunch balances are getting a helping hand following a $1 million initiative from the Arby's Foundation, the nonprofit announced Thursday.

 

I installed Jellyfin on an iMac running Fedora 39/Gnome and it was running more or less without any issues. However, I wanted to have the iMac on a VPN which would prevent accessing content indexed by Jellyfin elsewhere. So I installed Ubuntu on an old Mac Mini that I had, planning to make it a NAS box as well as host Jellyfin. The install there did not go well at all, I got the error "The server is expected to host the web client, but the provided content directory is either invalid or empty."

I found a post on github where a user created the directory listed in the error and then copied from /usr/share/jellyfin/web/ and when I did that the startup went further but then it threw the error "Kestrel failed to start! This is most likely due to an invalid address or port bind - correct your bind configuration in network.xml and try again."

I could not find a clear answer as to where the "network.xml" file is located, and I couldn't find any files that seemed to have the contents that were expected in network.xml. I put that aside for another day, considering a different distro if there are any others that are better with jellyfin than Ubuntu.

Today I was going to watch something that had been working on the Fedora box, and it would not play. I checked systemctl and jellyfin was not running. I tried launching it from the terminal and I got the same "server is expected to host the web client" error I had before.

Has anyone else run into these issues? Is there any better documentation out there than what is on the jellyfin site? Any help is much appreciated.

 

I installed Fedora 39 on an old iMac I had with a fusion drive (128GB SSD +1TB spinning disk.)

Fedora is installed on the SSD, and I want to use the spinning disk as a media drive. Problem is, it does not mount by default, so I figure I need to edit /etc/fstab to have it mount at startup.

I’m at work so I SSH into the iMac and get the UUID for the disk and then open fstab in vi, enter the new line with the uuid, directory I want the drive mounted in (/media), the filesystem (ext4) and the options. Try to write and quit, get an error the file is readonly. Try to set the file to noreadonly, write fails again. Try :wq! and get the error the file cannot be opened to write.

Exit vi, ls -la and see the file is read-only.

sudo chmod 644 fstab, put in password. ls -la shows file is still read only. lsattr fstab, immutable flag is not set.

Is this happening because I’m on SSH, or is there some other issue?
