Their theology is as bad as their choice of political candidate. I cannot think of any other politician that embodies the “Seven Deadly Sins” in public/private life moreso than Mr. Trump. I honestly do not get how the same “conservatives” used to crow about character being of the highest importance for an officeholder/candidate during the 90s, can get on this godawful bandwagon. I still am a Christian and live my life rather “conservatively”, but if this is what Christianity and Conservatism has become, it is no wonder the next generation is saying “Count me out…”.
Same here, but I’ve also set up a Pi Zero W to run pihole/unbound at the inlaws place without any issue.
A RPi option is likely your best bet. I’m currently building my own setup using MotionEye and a few Pi Zeros. I’ll be looking into different software since Motioneye is no longer updated though. Just FYI, I’d avoid the v3 camera module for now, as a lot of software doesn’t support it yet and it can’t use the legacy camera stack.
If you don’t already have a raspberry pi, get a pi zero W and put dietpi on it. You configure the wireless settings via text file once you etch the SD card. You don’t need a monitor. Personally, I set it up, looked at what DHCP address it had, and told my router to reserve that address. You can ssh into it to install pihole on the headless installation.
Good. WEI is a bad proposal for many reasons. I still can’t fathom why so many browsers use Chromium as their base nowadays though.
On another note, what is up with the thumbnail image for this article? The article doesn’t mention anything about Alabama’s awful attorney general. Hmmm…
Add this to the list of reasons why I’m glad I don’t teach in Florida. I just hope my own red state doesn’t follow suit soon.
I switched for two reasons. First, I don’t like how Microsoft is trying to attach everything to an online microsoft account. I prefer local control of my OS. I know there is a workaround for this, but it isn’t worth the effort.
Second, I am Cheap. My latest hardware is a decade out of date, and linux makes better use of the limited resources that I have.
AI shouldn’t be involved in hiring or firing decisions as it can’t be held accountable in the same way a human can. Yes, it is more efficient. But equity, not efficiency, should be the goal.
Pizza, at least the US-ified version, starts off as crust, sauce, and cheese. Toppings are added to the pizza for extra deliciousness. That being said, there is no such thing as a “Cheese” pizza. It should be properly called a “plain” pizza as it lacks any real toppings.
Artificial sweetners do taste “off” to me, but tastebuds can acclimate to it. The rest of my digestive system? Not so much. Let’s just say there is a reason it is pronounced ASS-partame.
I used to be quite skeptical about this in the same way as the OP here. However, after teaching for a number of years I have seen anecdotal evidence that handwriting notes does help with retention of information. Taking notes by hand forces you to process the information in ways that typing (or, let’s be honest…taking pictures or recordings) cannot. Basically, aside from the fine motor skills involved, the slower process of note-taking by hand forces you to actually think more about what you write, as you have to summarize more due to the physical process being less efficient. Too many students nowadays make the mistake that simply being familiar with, having digital access to, or simply recognizing a particular bit of information is the same thing as actually knowing or mastering the info. (Yes, I know…old man shakes fist at passing cloud…)
I will second the bit about fountain pens helping with hand cramps/writing fatigue and being less wasteful than other writing methods. Same with the advent of e-ink screens helping with the often cited example of digitized info contributing to eye strain.
I would suggest Mint. Considering the hardware, the XFCE version. Have you looked into any hardware upgrades for these machines? I’ve found that a simple ram or hdd–>ssd upgrade can be rather inexpensive these days.
I kinda think this about the Separatists in Star Wars…Dooku aside…
