  • Yes. However, hosting things from your home connection will make it difficult for you to visit many websites. Blocklists such as Datadome, Cloudflare, and F5 will give you endless captchas if they detect port 80 or port 443 open.

  • Calling yourself bisexual/pansexual would not be inaccurate. I think "Kinsey 2" or "Kinsey 1" might be good concise descriptions to use, but only you can decide what is best.

    (The Kinsey scale is a model, and therefore imperfect, but useful.)

  • To those claiming ... that the election was not tampered with

    I will agree that there was targeted voter suppression, targeted registration purges, and Russian propaganda. But all of this has been around for many elections. It's wrong that we have to live with this in the US, but it's already been challenged in court, largely unsuccessfully. So we do have to live with it, until it can be fixed by a legislature that actually works for the people.

    Even if you could prove voting machine tampering sufficient to change the election, there's still the problem that 77 million voters chose catastrophe. You can't possibly prove that this was off by an order of magnitude. We have to face the reality that there is an excess of bad voters, and a shortage of good candidates.

  • A lot of people are influenced by alt-right news (Fox News, Newsmax, OAN) who keep repeating the false claim that undocumented immigrants are mostly gangsters and violent criminals. In truth, undocumented immigrants are way less likely to commit a violent crime than an average American citizen.

    Trump said, regarding the first deportation flight:

    Three hundred people sitting on a plane. Every single one of them is either a murderer, a drug lord, a kingpin, the head of the mob, or a gang member

    Yet none of those deportees had any criminal conviction in either country (according to Newsweek, a slightly-right news source).

  • The DNC is holding a meeting at the ritzy $400-a-night resort over the weekend to choose a new party chair, a move that took on urgency after the Democrats took a beating at the ballot box in November. State party chairs Ben Wikler of Wisconsin, Ken Martin of Minnesota, and former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley have the most votes so far

    Hey, I recognize that name. I sent a letter to Ben Wikler a couple months ago, demanding that the next DNC chair NOT be a neoliberal, and saying that I wouldn't offer any more support to any neolib candidates. This was based on the assumption that he would be the one representing me for the purpose of choosing the next DNC chair. I never really expected he could be the one selected for it. I hope he's as progressive as I've heard.

  • I am told by everyone I know that Real Chili is an iconic Milwaukee restaurant. However, I get food poisoning literally every time I eat there. I think they've been shut down by the health inspector several times, but they seem to be in business right now.

    I agree with other posters: go to any diner, Denny's, Perkins, or Waffle House and order their largest breakfast. You don't have to eat it all.

  • I've done this with Debian before, and it works fine. Linux usually mounts the root filesystem based on its UUID, so it doesn't matter if changing the motherboard caused a change from /dev/sda to /dev/sdb .

    If you use the proprietary Nvidia driver, make sure to update it to a version that supports the new video card. If you use the open source Nvidia driver, you should be fine even if it's old, because it will at least support starting up in an unaccelerated mode.

  • You get more protection from your credit card company than Paypal. If your item doesn't arrive or doesn't work, you can file a chargeback and get a full refund. It's worked for me every time I tried it (Visa card from Royal Credit Union).
