Hey uh, any mutuals in the general Portland metro know where I can find a decent employment lawyer? Shit with my work's HR has officially entered legal counsel territory and I need to find someone soon.

Would prefer someone Beaverton/Hillsboro area cause that's closer & more accessible for me.

like it is eating up every single thing it has available to it.

A screenshot of the resources a container is using in proxmox. It's using up almost 100% of the CPU, memory, and SWAP that it has access to.

elk.zone is taking its sweet time to build the docker container but the lxc DOES only have two basic cpu cores and two gigs of ram + one gig of swap at its disposal. so it's going to be a long while.

eventually i'll have a front-end for my gts instance... and it might work fine with Hollo, too.

40-60C idle is def high, but unless continual extended loads push it beyond like, 85-90C your cooler is probably doing good enough.

No harm in getting a better cheap cooler though, IMO you don't need anything more than a basic good air cooler until you're getting into SFF or workstation territory.

May I offer a delicious Mai Tai in these trying times, or perhaps the Space Needle cocktail?

Or any other drink of your choice~

Alas, no, but significantly longer post-delivery than alternative treatments (and broader reaching than them, too).

The seemingly occasional injections throughout the year (maybe even just once a year!) is going to be more a LOT accessible than bi-weekly IVs or an every other month injection.

At the very least there's a lead on something that could work, and work well. Especially since this antibody manages to do two incredibly useful things at the same time. Even if the antibody itself doesn't work as expected, we have a *lot* more information to work with because of it.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have discovered a powerful antibody, known as 04_A06, that is able to neutralize 98.5% of MORE THAN 300 different HIV strains AND permanently reduce HIV viral load to undetectable levels, making it one of the broadest-acting antibodies against HIV identified to date.

This is a warning to every artists and clients using PayPal: Leave the note blank or send invoices. Apparently even saying "commission" makes them trigger happy. #SaveSpeech #StopPaypros

And continue the pressure by calling PayPal. Helpful link here: anti-censorship-campaign.carrd.co#phonescript

Please comment down below any other charities that you think belong on this list!

Screenshot reads: While I will be continuing to donate to and share individual gofundmes, and encouraging everyone to do the same, please consider also checking out these links and others like them.

Please don't forget the Palestinians that do not have the means to ask us for help due to things like being unable to speak any English and/or do not have the service to make accounts on social media, along with all of the Palestinians that are being censored by social media. All Palestinians need help, including the ones that we cannot directly see and interact with.

Always remember to fight for a free Palestine!!!!

the corporate buzzword world redefining AI to gear more towards their definition and investment into the expensive thing generator has ruined any ability to talk about every other form that is otherwise considered AI.

I'm sorry, but the "I won't use alt text or tag nsfw images because it trains the AI to recognize those things" argument just reads to me as "AI is making life worse for humans...so in order to stop it, I'm gonna make life worse for humans myself!"

Please be decent and do both of those things.

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

"Guys if we just assimilate we'll be fine!" ah yes, as if that wasn't what was being attempted well before Stonewall happened, and guess where it got everyone?

Nowhere! Because they don't care that you're trying to blend in, you're still "deviant".

Need to teach the young queers about that era.

remembering this delightful interaction and just. ugh.

that was a very frustrating thread to be involved in.

it was definitely one of those moments where I'm glad it happened online because I could easily stop myself from going off on them (instead of just shutting down mentally)

Senil 🍹 @bsky.senil.me · Aug 13

love encountering someone online who like. clearly means well but going through their posts makes you think they're just consistently looking for someone to get mad at and never like. talks about other things.

like i can guarantee you, being that degree of hostile to people just makes them block.

I love communicating online and having folks assume I'm asking for input when I'm just. posting about whatever.

not quite a "so you hate french toast" situation, but definitely a "how dare you say we piss on the poor" moment. nowhere in my post did i, in my view, ask for input or whatever.

🙃 ugh.
