Curiosity and lunch sated…

You mean you don’t test out the food you are giving them first, what if it tastes bad?

Poor chappy, perhaps it might be possible to consider a catio? Our indoor one loves to go out on a leash but we are thinking of getting a catio cage so she can enjoy more time outside.

thats very beautiful 🤩

Sorry to hear about your boy, however short is our time with them, we do our best to make their life enjoyable and while it is painful, they do love us back. So remeber and cherish of all the good times you two had.

My about 8 year old girl (had her for 4), got diagnosed with an aggressive cancer last week. Nothing we can do but let her enjoy all the luxuries of her short remaining life. I am sure she knows she is cherished and had her best life with us.

sooooo… vpn should point to Portugal…

almost certainly

You mean there is a chance 🤑 💰 /s

is this a UK isp?

Thank you thats useful to know!

But humans will still be able to live… Right?.. Right?..

Yes I need to do something about picking a location for them in the house. Loft sounds great, but it gets hot in summer. Downstairs would be nice and chilly but you don’t want to hear this… So much to think about

Not tried those drives in particular, but got 4 Seagate’s exos (can’t recall if they are 16 or 18tb ea), very happy with them. A bit loud but they are also 7200 spin. Can get them on a real good offer sometimes

That looks really comfy, I want to get one for my cat… To ignore 😂😂😭

So I have been in Xinjiang, specifically Urumqi in 2010, about a year after there were local tensions and riots (I didn’t know about the riots until after I returned home). It was summer and I saw police in full riot gear, in APCs in groups of 10-15 at a time patroling the city. Not roadblocks everywhere, but multiple such patrols. I still felt safe (as a westerner, its super safe).

So there were clear, heavy local tensions. Now you are right about the news we here are obviously one sided. You have to take some critical thoughts about what is likely happening. However inter province travel requires you to present passport when buying a ticket. It’s not really a sign of a free and fair society.

I don’t keep up with internal Chinese politics beyond vaguely being interested in HK, but seeing what happened there you can make a fair assumption that in the mainland things would be harder for folks who don’t fall in line.

Can you post where that is from please? I seem to stumble on desktops that cost 10x as much!

Yes I was looking as a client to replace the “smart” TV app that is increasingly becoming bloatware with something I can control. Just kinda need a “self hosted” client that can support 70mbps 10bit hdr streams or there about.

Ohhh I wonder if this can work as a 4k 10bit uhd Plex/jellyfin client?

The system is only broken because humans are dicks to other humans

Super cute, mine jumps away like a ICBM the second you cover her with anything

No issues here
