Yep you're wrong on 1. "The Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employes Division of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters had asked railroads for seven days paid sick leave following the rejection of its contract earlier this month. Another union, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, rejected its contract in September in respect of other unions negotiating for additional benefits, though eventually voted to ratify"

I get what you are saying but it still isn't the complete story. Yes he didn't let them shut down a major pillar of our economy and at that time forced them to take an agreement that was basically everything they wanted except for off time. But his admin spent the months after getting those concessions from the railroads. The IBEW even thanked the admin for their work. He supported many other labor unions right to strike without interference.

Thats it. It's a little difficult to get setup but I used that to get my Canon T2i setup as a webcam. You'll also want to set it up to auto launch at login/startup. That are a ton of tutorials and videos on it since most streamers use it.

2 things you can try.

  1. Electrical tape on the camera. Simple but not elegant.
  2. Use OBS and create a virtual camera that's fed by your camera. You can crop/adjust that how you like.

I don't think you need to worry about sizes (or pitch) everything I have gotten from them has been correct but material and strength (temper) are definitely something to be wary of. So yea if you need ansi strength out of a bolt don't get it from Amazon, but if you are just using a 1/4"-20 to fasten something together you're probably fine.

Surprisingly enough, Amazon has a wide selection of bolts/hardware at good prices and reasonable delivery times 2-4 days normally.

That looks like a whole bunch of potential for next season!

You might look into the "curly girl" method, don't worry about the name it's just what it started out being called in the 80-90s. It helps people with any texture besides stick straight hair tame the friz. It's been pretty helpful for me to allow my actual curls out without being a puff ball. There's a community driven Google doc that has the concepts and best products. It wouldn't surprise me if you actually have all wavy hair, many people find that once they stop using products that weigh down hair, their hair texture increases.

Does the president have unilateral authority to make laws? How do you expect him to abolish that system without Congressional action?

[–] jj122@lemmings.world 6 points 1 week ago (3 children)

They also got them a historic pay raise and other concessions. When the union that the president prevented from striking praises the president, it's not propaganda. This isn't some WH press release.

Stop repeating that BS. The Biden admin kept fighting for the workers even after Congress shut down the strike. The rail workers even thanked the admin.

Am I missing something here? The first 4 in your list are petroleum refiners and separately gas stations with the same names. Most gas stations are independently operated businesses under franchise agreements with a particular brand. Yes they are required to use fuel from their own brand. QT is just a convenience store that also sells fuel and isnt in the refining business.

I think this fits the rules but If this doesnt let me know and I'll delete. Hey all, Overall problem statement: I'm looking for a small device (SBC if available) that I can use as a tail scale access point for travel and I'm hoping someone has done something similar. Basically I would like to have something small enough that I can toss in my travel bag that I can hook into a hotel network and have access to my home services (mainly jellyfin) on my kindle/work laptop. Not all of my devices support VPN or tailscale and having them already on a known network with built in VPN makes it 10x easier to deal with when traveling (login into hotel WiFi with a kindle Paperwhite sucks!) Ideally it would have dual gig Ethernet and built in WiFi. If this works out well enough I would like to give a few of these to the family so they can access things as well, so cost is a bit important.

I found a banana pi R3-mini that I thought would work out of the box (wifi6 + dual gig + small) but it seems too new for full software support with tail scale and I don't currently have the skills to roll my own software for it. Is there anything out there that you all have used for this type of use case?

I know I can switch to wire guard but I'm not confident I can set that up securely and reliably but if that's my only option I think I did find a good guide.

So I'm at a crossroads of learning to build my own openwrt install with the correct packages, learning how to setup wire guard, or asking for recommendations.

Edit: Thanks for all the recommendations. Looks like openwrt has released a new build for the banana pi that I have so I'm going to try that again before trying to setup wire guard. The GL.inet devices look like they have an older version of openwrt, so they support tailscale via the openwrt package manager but it can be unstable. Some people have even called it alpha on those devices. So I'm hoping the newest version on the bpi-r3 will allow a more stable tailscale. I'll try to report back once I play around with it more.
