I have my old old TV from a pawn shop mounted on the wall in the bedroom. Still works. Good enough to hook up a streaming box to and watch something before passing out. Many a nights it has been something mindless like the Office or Parks and Rec
I can imagine her as president, yes
Kind of topical right now. This was just a mental exercise and not a prophecy.
You and me both
Good question. I think it is if you are in the blast zone
Beautiful pic! I love when you can see for miles
I appreciate the kind words. Grief is a process and right now I am still working through it.
Has not changed all that much. Really depends on the instance you join.
Yeah it is in Washington. We got lucky it was not raining and super cold that day. It’s been downpour after downpour the past month.
Top of Mailbox Peak. These birds were everywhere. I assume due to people sharing food when they hit the top.
It isn’t an issue if platform but rather being responsible for content moderation. The time investment after spinning a server up is what worries me.
My mother died this year. It happens to everyone if you live long enough. It still sucked. She had MS since 18, died at 66. More than ten thousand days in the fire.
I am trying to come to terms with her disease and how I was not a great son. Could have, should have, would have. The three horseman of regret. I think most people have similar thoughts when a loved one passes, but it still hurts.
I have resolved to carry a picture of her to every mountain I hike up. Take her with me where she could not in her life. I wrote a letter of goodbyes to her and left it in mailbox peak. It still doesn’t feel enough.
I hate the person I was while she was alive. I was there, but not the person I should have been. The benefit of hindsight.
I left reddit and do not contribute anymore. I do browse certain subreddits in my mobile browser, but don’t login. Lemmy is better for conversation and I like supporting the underdog in the age of content is everything.
I thought about spinning up a lemmy server but honestly the moderation and being responsible for content is a huge concern
As someone who designs and builds networks as a profession, I don’t see this being a great idea. Maybe I just don’t have all the facts.
I am leaning heavily on the example of M$ trying an underwater datacenter, which they decommissioned and have not pursued further. Put a node of compute somewhere and eventually it will become obsolete or unusable due to hardware failure. Not to mention the energy requirements and cooling needed in space. Waste heat does not just dissipate unless it has a heat sink, which adds more volume and mass to the payload!

Cremation. Simple urn. Spread my ashes in the mountains.
Yep
I have had disagreements with people on Lemmy and not been downvoted. People here are more focused on debate and whether you are arguing in good faith.
Good thing I put mine in airplane mode when I first got it and never updated firmware. I load books like its a flash drive.
