@npub18su…nd38 ironically, on Friday I ordered a replacement "NAS" as the board of my QNAP is shot. The drive-less replacement arrived about half an hour ago. Hoping to boot it, update it, and then put in the 4 8TB drives from the dead unit. Fingers crossed...

I was familiar with the theology of the Catholic Church's "smallest doctor", but I hadn't thought of it in terms of a contrast to scrupulosity and the heresy of Jansenism.

Instead a victim narrative akin to "The Handmaid's Tale" has been spun for years.

We had our weekly Men's Group mtg at St. Patrick's early this morning. Today we were watching & discussing a video on the Holy Family. This insight from Saint Thérèse of Lisieux regarding Mary was a first for me. I had ChatGPT summarize it...

@npub1mjp…4vyq I'll admit. I did... about my late wife. 😎
She was a part-time fitness instructor (leading ~4 classes/week) and even after birthing our *five* kids still had better abs than your average 18 year old woman.
A rare find. 🥰

Given that most of the ASIC's/SoC's I've been involved with had to stay within a 5Watt budget, this blows my mind. 😯

@npub1mjp…4vyq As someone who bought a ScanGauge back in 2006 and used it for several years, it'd be great to see them release the "ScanGauge XX". 😏

Admittedly I haven't written web scrapers in over a dozen years or so. Yes, in Perl back then. I know there are much better frameworks now.

Even though I just purchased a SpeedQueen Washer 'n Dryer, I'm intrigued by this -- mainly to cut back on propane usage. The spin cycle of the washer wrings out most of the moisture.
Does anyone use something like this? I'm guessing by the end of the day, my clothes would be dry?
