You are correct: with nothing on it, the table is fine. But with the weight of the monitor stand near the front, pulling my chair causes the table to tip.

Based on comments and other drawings I've seen so far, I'm thinking you're right. I'm going add a crossbeam across the legs (the two sides and in the back).

My goal was to build the desk with subpar wood so there are some twists and cupping in the wood. So getting every square is a challenge.

I would prefer not to. I could but it would only be on one side of the table.

The dimensions are w: 25" x l: 48" x h: 30"

The legs move slightly when pulled (it could be sturdier and the brace would certainly help with that) but the whole table shifts. If I pull with the monitor stand on it, the table would fall over.

Add dual climate control and then I'm with you.

In case folks aren't aware, AWS status page is not live. It is a human-driven page that is updated manually.

The fortune 100 company I used to work for would be notified prior to the status page being updated for an issue before the status page is updated.

Do not rely on their status page to tell you there is a problem.

Because police officers have qualified immunity.

This ruling only means something if SCOTUS upholds the arrest and conviction. It's an improvement, don't get me wrong, but I'm not holding my breath.

His obsession with gold makes me think of the 80s, where gold gilded things was a mark of wealth. It makes me wonder if Trump's head is still in that world where everything needs to be gold so that he can look good.

Because Trump is all about how it looks on the outside. Hell it wouldn't surprise me if he couldn't tell the difference between gold and brass.

Jfc here I thought Trump had grown into being a dick. Turns out he was always a dick.

Honestly I was thinking the same thing.

The only thing that would make this a chef's kiss is that they accidentally bulldoze the oval while they are doing a press conference in it.

The reason why this administration feels comfortable blatantly lying is because no one is holding them accountable.

The press is just passing this off with "oh look what this shitty person did. No, we didn't ask any followup questions or get other sources. We moved on."

Trump's base certainly doesn't care about facts.

VPNs is not just for remote workers. It's used by corporations who don't want to pay for a direct connect to federate with their work sites.

The only way a VPN ban is going to work is if they make a carve-out for corporations.

Which, let's face it, it's Republicans so there's a one-to-one chance that language will be there.

This says something about Trump.

Back under Clinton, the White House lawn needed to be redone for reasons. (Obligatory fuck lawns)

The National Parks service said it would take a few years to complete and Clinton didn't want to do it because he didn't want the look of a torn up lawn in front of the White House to be a news item.

W was told the same thing and he made the same decision.

Obama was told and he was the one to finally do it. I don't remember if it made any sort of news outside the typical inside beltway noise but a lot of folks kind of gave him props for doing that.

This kind of construction isn't going to be pretty and the fact that Trump is allowing it...I mean, it's sort of Obama-esque but we all know it's Trump's ego running the show.

 

Which is it?!

This headline came up in my news feed, from a very dubious source so I decided to investigate.

Headline after headline, many from identical sources, about how Walmart and Bank of America are either going to stop taking $1 bills or keep accepting them. The headlines read like a FUD article and I refuse to click through to read the details.

I can't find a reputable news source for this story so I'm assuming it's fake news.

It shouldn't be this easy to manipulate news feeds.

 

I've been searching around for a copy of the Resolute Letter that Trump left for Biden. The letters are typically released within a few days of entering office but this was never done because Biden wanted to talk to Trump first before doing so.

It's been almost four years. Surely it's been done by now and I can't seem to find any article with the letter or anything on the official White House website. I'm tempted to submit a FOIA request for it but wasn't sure where to start.

 

fmovies has been gone almost a month. I should have added "FBI" up there but really they used FBI to shoot down the service, not be like them.

I don't understand when these companies are going to learn that sharing their IP is going to get them more money than being so fractured.

I started using sudo-lol and seems okay. Streaming can be hinky at times but it works for most of the things I want to watch.

I know that torrenting can be a thing but sometimes I just want to watch and not deal with a whole finding a torrent, download, and then watch workflow.

 

I know it occasionally has service disruptions, but it usually comes back up after a day or so. Fmovies has been down for almost the entire week for me.

Anyone else having issues?

 

Good day self-hosters! I'm not exactly sure what to call what I'm looking for besides a "clipboard". Let me describe my problem and what my ideal solution is.

At work, I get a lot of slack DMs that ask for the same information. It's not consistent to the point I would just pin the information in my Windows 11 clipboard. But it's often enough that I'd prefer to give people the same information each time it's asked.

I'm limited in what I can build on my work computer. In an ideal world, I'd do what Gilfoyle did and make and bot but I lack the time and skills for such a task. Right now, I solve this with a very long notepad, which is subject to copy/paste errors. If I don't highlight everything correctly or if I accidentally copy over an existing line. That kind of thing.

What I was thinking was a very simple website where the items I'm copying are in tiles that can be tagged and searched. Once I find what I'm looking for, I can click the button to copy it to my clipboard and then go on with my life.

Due to restrictions on my work computer, I cannot host containers or host a website, though a fully self-contained HTML page with javascript I could do.. Ideally this is something that can be build using Github Pages build with Jekyll but so far, I haven't found a theme that mimics the behavior I'm looking for and I lack the time (though not the skills) to build it.

I'd prefer the github route so that I can share the page with others on my team who get asked similar questions.

I am also able to deploy a website via Github Pages (with .nojekyll).

I have to think something similar to this already exists but I imagine the restrictions on having no backend might be the challenge. Love to hear your thoughts!

Edit: added context for Gilfoyle

Thank you all for the great suggestions. I should have added in this post that my work does not allow software with Copyleft (Don't get me started. I'm a strong copyleft advocate and it annoys me that my company only takes and never gives back to OSS). I'm going to give TiddlyWiki out. License is friendly with my work, seems simple enough to run.

That said, Logseq seems to be pretty interesting as well. Might try this out on my on machine to see if I like it.
