America’s biggest berry empire doesn’t actually grow berries.

Driscoll’s is the middleman that controls the genetics, reaps the profits, and then shifts blame.

A whistleblower alleges the Canadian government repeatedly flagged their berries for exceeding pesticide limits.

this one isn't cropped as badly

It's a squishy thing what looks like a hoo-hah and you put your ding-donger in there and it feels good I tell ya what

Last winter I moved family photos off Google Photos to Immich on an old Dell Optiplex 7040 in the closet (Proxmox, Immich, Nextcloud, Matrix). Main reason was Google One kept getting more expensive.

Tech part works. Immich is great, Nextcloud is fine.

People part doesn't. My wife uses it because she has to, but she still brings up January when I almost lost a month of kid photos due to no real backup. My sister is still on Messenger, my mom is on iCloud, so my Matrix server is mostly just me and wife.

I have backup now (USB + B2) and cost is lower than Google One, but time cost is higher and family adoption is low.

For those who self-host for family — how did you actually get them to switch and stick? Did you force it, make it invisible, bribe with something, or just accept that they will stay on Google / Messenger / iCloud?

What worked for you with non-technical family?

An exciting development for this Linux app sandboxing and distribution tech. This would also help improve Google Chrome/Chromium support outside the likes of RPM and Debian based distributions with a cleaner packaging experience.

That's what he said.

Saw the top post today about Nitter getting a cease and desist. Not surprised, but it hit a nerve.

Last winter I finally moved my family off Google Photos. Not for ideology, just tired of paying for One that gets more expensive every year.

Old Dell Optiplex 7040 in the closet, Immich for photos, Nextcloud for docs, Matrix for family chat. It was messy. I forgot to set up proper backups and almost lost a month of kid photos in January. My wife still brings it up.

Before that I thought privacy was about picking a better provider. Nitter was part of that logic too - use a private frontend for a bad platform. But frontends die. Nitter, Invidious, all of them. One letter and it's gone.

Self-hosting didn't solve everything, but at least my photos don't depend on someone else's frontend staying alive. The problem now is family. My server is in my closet, but my sister is still on Messenger, my mom on iCloud. My setup doesn't protect them.

Curious how you handle this part. When the frontend you rely on disappears, do you try to move family to Signal/Matrix or just accept you can only protect your own node?

If a woman on a flying broom asks to give the baby a gift, say no and don't let her inside. Her gift ideas are terrible.

Never live near anyone who teaches swordfighting.

If a man in a pointy had declares your child is the chosen one, deny it and do not let him or a gift from him anywhere near the child. Your home town will last longer.

If your child begins showing signs of wild uncontrollable powers, you are doomed. Take out life insurance.

They call me the one-shit wonder

Sequel to Dungeon Crawler Carl. Carl and Donut get to the next level, get into more trouble, get additional skills and levels, and figure more things out. Pretty sure I can reuse the description for all subsequent books in the series. Basically an extension of the first book. If you liked it, you'll like this one. Continues to be dumb fun.
