It is the first time that one of the jailed residents from Xaneriq village are released alive.English2·1 year agoMore evidence that the people in power there have the intelligence of a sack of shit. There are several advantages for a country when fewer of its residents consume alcohol. Health-wise, a reduction in alcohol consumption can lead to fewer alcohol-related illnesses and injuries, which would alleviate some of the burden on the healthcare system. Economically, individuals could potentially save money typically spent on alcohol, which could contribute to better financial health for many. A decrease in alcohol consumption would also lead to lower rates of alcohol-related accidents and crimes.

theUnlikely@sopuli.xyzto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•PC died. Trying the legal options.English3·2 years agoI just recently got myself a Pi 4 8GB for €86 on Amazon, a barely used 10TB IronWolf NAS HDD for €120 on eBay, and an HDD enclosure for €20 that powers the HDD and plugs into the Pi via USB3. Currently it’s running Plex Media Server, qBittorrent, Wireguard, AdGuard Home, Nextcloud, Caddy, and a few monitoring containers. It’s handling all of that easily. I’m using it headless and just stream content to my TV. Currently I have no redundancy for my drive, but I’ll get around to that eventually.
You can of course keep using PiHole for your setup. I recommend you check out !selfhosted@lemmy.world and r/selfhosted.
You don’t even need to buy a microsd card anymore because they now ship with the firmware that can boot from USB.

Edit: Just tried it and it worked on the native OnePlus clock app, but not on the Google clock.
When using “queue” or “cue,” the context is crucial for deciding which word is appropriate. The word “cue” refers to a signal for action, especially in theater, to prompt someone to do something. It’s been used in this sense since the 1500s. On the other hand, “queue” generally refers to a line or sequence of people or things waiting their turn. This meaning originated in the 1800s.
In the context of this debate:
-
Cue: When saying “Cue Mitch Hedberg,” the word “cue” is being used correctly. It’s like saying, “Now enter Mitch Hedberg,” or “Prompt the appearance or mention of Mitch Hedberg.” It’s a signal for something specific to happen or appear, especially in a performance or presentation context.
-
Queue: The argument for “queue” seems to be based on the YouTube context, where videos are lined up to play one after the other, hence the term “play queue.” While it’s true that watching a video on YouTube involves adding it to a play queue, the term “queue” in the sense of “Queue Mitch Hedberg” would imply adding him to a waiting list or sequence, which isn’t the intended meaning here.
And actually as far as I can see, there isn’t actually a play queue when you just click on a single video. So if the original commenter was truly trying to say “add Mitch Hedberg to your queue of videos”, fine. However, I have strong doubts about that being what they meant.
