The transcode performance on the apple silicon is pretty solid if you wanted to go the media server route. Or have a really expensive NAS host lol

I have a macbook for work and I like it generally, it integrates well with other *nix environments. But if you don’t use a laptop or don’t want to have the uncomfortable interruption to your hotkey muscle memory it’s a bit useless. I’d either sell it and/or find someone in my network that needs it

That’s correct

That’s correct

That’s a big project, I respect your ambition

Can you provide a list of your stack? Doing the same has crossed my mind but I haven’t done much research yet

Archiving the original data is important. This is censorship, plain and simple. It’s more important than ever to make sure we educate our children and peers about our history instead of whitewashing everything. 10 years from now I’m really hoping these events will be seen as nationalist vitriol

The travesty of the anthropocene. My future children and their children will likely be the first to experience the major impacts of how we’ve collectively damaged on this planet. I have to make a concerted effort to avoid thinking about it because it will very quickly deteriorate my mental health

Looked up this story in the local paper for a bit more context

Responding officers found Towery in his home dead from multiple stab wounds. Part of a lamp was stuck in his throat.

Unsure how this happens in a self defense situation. Imo if you were threatened and under duress you’re gonna do what you have to do, but he was 80 years old

Fearing for her life and fueled by crack cocaine, she overcame Towery and stabbed him repeatedly – 58 times according to an autopsy report. The evidence showed Holberg also beat Towery with a claw hammer multiple times. “I lost it," Holberg told jurors.

The reasoning behind the Trump-appointed judge’s dissent:

“No jury in its right mind would believe that a 23-year-old cocaine-addled prostitute ‘defended’ herself against a frail old man by (1) stabbing him 58 times, (2) bludgeoning him with various objects including a steam iron, and (3) ramming a lamp base down his throat while he was still alive,” Duncan wrote.

In the surface that’s pretty reasonable, but the issue is the planted informant being encouraged to further incriminate the defendant:

However, the majority of the judges believed prosecutors heavily relied on Kirkpatrick’s testimony – particularly her description of how Holberg enjoyed killing Towery – to secure the conviction and during the punishment phase of the trial when they asked for the death sentence.
