I think with respect to the bodies, you should read up about Noble, Georgia, USA.

Dead bodies are ABSOLUTELY dealt with in very stupid ways because they are a pain to deal with, heavy, and people doing their jobs aren't thinking "what will this look like when it is found or on sattelite imagery". They throw a few bodies on a pile to deal with later, then a few more because they are too busy or the crematorium is broken, or their digger is broken, and then it gets out of hand and it becomes way too big of a job for the people who's job it is.

They are not in the middle of a city having to worry about people stumbling on it.

Ugh I hate excel. It can't do the most basic things like search and replace things reliably in all cases. I have moved literally all data analysis besides the absolute basic "count" and "sum" operations to python in spyder. 200x faster, repeatable, won't freeze up with large datssetd, and has never once failed a basic operation like a search and replace. Not to mention the localization issues and the fact that it will fuck things up completely if you install a new printer because Microsoft decided the printer has priority of your document and spreadsheet layouts over choosing a default.

I had some evaluation board software that whenever the value dipped below -1, would place the comma completely randomly in the floating point number.

Excel almost had a heart attack when I asked it to search and replace ”-1” with "-1," and it found all of the cases just fine, but decides to ignore the replace and not place a comma at all. If I tried to convert them to a number, it freaked out and placed the decimal place also randomly, different than the input. And of course trying to do in-place operations on a column for export is just painful.

Hell, in notepad++ I could just regex the digit range that was preceded by a ”-1” and get everything replaced using a few brackets.

Not to mention how terrible the graphs work in comparison and how bad they look with the default options 😅. But hey, you can automatically put in a drop shadow or frame it in a useless way.

There are some people who can work very efficiently and do some crazy things in excel (like the excel doom) but unless you have literally been using it daily for many years and actively looking for ways to speed up, then it is just as easy or easier to do things in an actual data processing program like matlab, octave, python, or R (And I am not a coder) and you can literally copy paste a file name for the next full dataset.

Yes,

Then you have 4 main plus these 5-6 extra. Just put your boot drive on a data drive instead of m.2 or get an adaptor and you are good to go. 8 data drives plus a boot drive

As someone who has to interface professionally with solidworks and everyone at my company on the mechanical side uses solidworks, it is also slow as fuck when the part or assembly gets a bit complicated. Just opening it takes a few minutes. If we have to open solidworks and an assembly from scratch during a meeting, that is 10 minutes gone.

Definitely has 10x as many QoL and productvity features and much better TNP solutions and heuristics built over decades, plus very useful plugins, but speed and stability are not its strong points 😂

Well one thing we can know: if during the next round of satellite imaging from apple/google maps in 2025 sometime, if a building or tent appears over the place, then it was definitely bodies.

El Salvador gets internet too, they have definitely seen the controversy and would move it or cover it up in the future against satellite imagery.

If nothing at all happens and the next round of imaging shows the exact same dimensions and no clearer imagery emerges from a world regime with higher zoom spy satellites, then it is likely nothing.

As a vegetarian (environmental, so like 1 flex day per month), so getting fiber isn't bad. I eat a lot of beans and lentils. A bit harder to go low calorie while getting enough protein.

I have been getting back into running and started eating healthy again at 1500kCal with watching macros and getting enough fiber. I have lost 5 kilos or in the last month. Easy peasy. I am also eating giant meals just from volume of vegetables and lentils and weighing the ingredients like I used to do when I worked out 2-3 hours a day in university. Feels good

Germans in 1941: 🙈 well "prisons aren't supposed to be fun", these grainy "photos don't really show anything." "There are only 241 released deaths in the camps, I'm sure everything is completely fine there"

[–] JustEnoughDucks 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Those are just the "documented" deaths.

We know that they shave their heads, number them, and make them not show their faces and treat them very similarly to another such camp

They only feed the inmates Rice, beans, a couple of veggies, etc.. And yet there is a meat pile next to a small building with red stains all around it and red stained drag marks. even though they don't use meat.

Ah yeah, that is the difference. I always keep a local copy of my photos since immich has broken once in the past for me. That is one fantastic piece of software though.

I also use jellyfin, but the security on it is an absolute clusterfuck mess apparently so I don't expose it to the internet, so I use syncthing for my music.

I should really also set up a backblaze or hetzner off site backup for everything, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

[–] JustEnoughDucks 1 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Yeah I need an SD card. I have ~160 GB on photos, videos, and a pretty decent music library synced to my other devices via syncthing. My current system apps (no games, just utility apps and messaging caches) + music streaming downloads (18GB) are 87GB. That is right on the boundary of internal storage if I don't take any more pictures or add any more local music.

Just android alone is 21 GB, but yeah if someone doesn't take photos or videos, doesn't listen to much music, and doesn't play any phone games, 128 or 256 is probably more than needed.

Music assistant has Spotify connect integration, so if you have a Spotify connect device, maybe you can use voice command -> regular Spotify Integration -> music assistant Spotify connect device?
