The URL about:mozilla was always full of fun :)

I was about to say -- you probably don't want to connect the wifi antenna plugs of two cards into each other -- that'd probably overdrive each other's receiver and damage the cards or cause other issues, unless you had an attenuator in there somewhere. But it looks like you're just using the antenna loop from the laptop into the esp32 ...

There is an ongoing attempt to create an equivalence of Trans Persons (and anyone exposing youth to LGBTQ+ ideas in any form, including loving families) to pedophiles through CONSTANT repetition, despite any lack of widespread evidence. There is also a simultaneous attempt to strongly advocate for death penalty for pedophiles. I'm sure you can see where this is heading ......

It would be amusing if the surviving family did not support this underhanded move, and spoke out about it.

It would be the point of no return for the USA, and the conclusive end to the "Pax Americana" . Invading a peaceful neighbor? Unthinkable for a "so-called" stable country. The rest of the world rally to Canada's side, there would be an effort to 'contain' the further damage we could do.

I use Immich because I have multiple devices and multiple people uploading photos to it , so we can all organize together.

Self hosting anything also gives you a lot of practice and experience (and confidence) to also self hosting anything for others, an important skill for many to have in order to have a more distributed internet.

Now we all have to pay.

Then everyone goads Trump till he turns on his former masters and they all burn it down.
