Extreme heat and extreme rainfall are now becoming "a new normal" in South Korea.
"At Muan International Airport in South Jeolla, an automatic weather station recorded 142.1 millimeters (5.6 inches) of rain in a single hour — equivalent to 11 percent of the region’s average annual rainfall — through the night."

Air quality not great in Ventura/LA counties, drift from the Gifford Fire.
A good reminder, if you don't already have a HEPA filter (Corsi Rosenthal boxes FTW!), it's a good idea to have one available in case of wildfire smoke drifting in your direction. (they are also handy if someone has a respiratory disease in your house, for removing pollen for the air for allergies, and clearing your house of the worst AQI pollutant I have found exists -- well done bacon! Smells good... but not good for your lungs, LOL)

I read this article today and quite liked it
drewlyton.com/story/the-future…
An analogy came to mind when reading it: if the cloud is feudalism, self hosted is sustenance farming.
Sustenance farming… Well, it sucks, it’s brutal, it’s awful. No wonder people want centralized infrastructure! Groceries aren’t a concept in sustenance farming, neither is something like “food sensitivities”—you just die or accept the feudalism because you have no other choice.
Some people happen to like sustenance farming and the idea of living fully off the grid! But they’re not normal. That’s fine, but it’s not workable for most people and carries an enormous amount of unstated privilege. For example: the person in the article casually buying a server and dropping a few thousand dollars on it, setting up several complicated systems in it, and “only” spending a few weeks of free time doing so? Privileged. Fun hobby if you like that, though!
The bad part, in my opinion, is that our only choices are currently techno fascism… Or the sustenance farming that killed almost everyone who attempted it. That’s not a great set of choices and it doesn’t have to be like that.
I liked the reference to community clouds in the ending of the article. It reminded me very much of Common Pool Resources that Elinor Ostrom talks about, or the emergent strategy of adrienne marie brown. I need to read more Ursula Franklin, but I suspect her writing is right at home here too.
I’d like to live in a world where communities uplift and support each other and are able to do so. I’m doing my best to help make that a reality, even if I’ve had to spend the last year or two putting my own mask on first 😀
In a world where corporations have detached buying from owning, one man attempts to do something radical: build his own cloud.Drew Lyton

Holy shit. This. This is the song for now.
Hayley Williams: True Believer
m.youtube.com/watch?v=a5Uy5vDX…
Hayley Williams (of Paramore et al) is no longer bound by her record label. She just released 17 songs, free to the internet.
This is her completely without restriction.
A couple choice lines:
"They pose in Christmas cards with guns as big as all the children.
They say that Jesus is the way but then they gave him a white face.
So they don’t have to pray to someone they deem lesser than them."
Then follows it immediately with:
"The South will not rise again
Til it’s paid for every sin
Strange fruit, hard bargain
Till the roots, Southern Gotham"
Strange Fruit. Think Billie Holiday's haunting song.
Till the roots... rip up the roots so that tree doesnt grow again (with possible entendres to Emmett Till, etc).
I've heard people describe this song as an incantation, as a binding spell. I can imagine hundreds of thousands or millions singing and chanting this magic.
The sound is haunting.

I'm ditching streaming services and just going with local music. However all my CDs are converted to either flac or 320kbps files on my PC and thus far too large for the limited storage I have on my phone.
I was hoping there might be an app that would automatically downconvert to something like 128kbps and then copy over to the Music directory on my phone. A bit like how Calibre can automatically convert eBook files (e.g. mobi to epub) and then send them to your ereader?
like this
This might be a bit overkill for what you want but you could try using a selfhosted music server like navidrome and streaming to your phone. I use symfonium on on phone which can be configured to request the streamed music to be transcoded to a smaller size for streaming from mobile network or for caching it on your phones storage for offline listening.
Given that symfonium supports a lot of self hosted media providers from which to pull, you could also try sharing your music locally using samba. I'm not sure if the transcoding still works in that case though (it would obviously have to be done on your phone)
If your files are flac and you just want to.copy some files you could try Mp3fs
That'll make your files appear to be MP3 when you access them
You could them use a file transfer mechanism to read them from the mp3fs location onto your phone with - kinda - one step.

Well, seeing as my WONDERFUL PAYMENT PROCESSOR decided to hold the money i just got paid for 6 days, and then my bank will probably hold it another 2-4 days, GUESS IM JUST FUCKING OFF THIS WEEK.
I swear to fuck, bank float (jew float) can fuck right off.
The only reason they do it too is so they can lend on your money and earn interest. They make up some bullshit about "for your security" but we all know its so they can pull that sweet sweet 2% on your money for a few days.
WELCOME TO SMALL BUSINESS, WHERE BIG BUSINESS FUCKS YOU IN THE ASS FOR FUN AND CUSTOMERS ARE LIKE, BUT I PAID YOU WHY CAN'T WE START TOMORROW?
Well KAREN, it's because the bank and the payment processor is holding your money for a week.

in reply to jdogg247 • • •I don't think people are retarded. I think some people really just need to have a captain on the ship. To them Columbus will always be the one who "discovered America" simply because he was the captain, even though the new continent was literally named after Amerigo Vespucci, the Italian explorer who actually charted the land.
Despite all the ongoing news, I have a good friend who saw through all the Scamdemic/vaccine nonsense, but is still a 100% true believer in Trump. The Epstein situation or the way Trump has destroyed the economy with his intentionally retarded tariffs, have not changed his view. He's also still 100% onboard with Elon being a great man trying to change America, and will either not consider or handwave away Elon's massive data mining operations, brain chipping and technocratic beliefs.
These are the classic "trust the plan" people, who can't talk about specific policies, only about the specific people they want to guide the ship.
