Democracy is dieing with barely a whimper...

The politicians were put there by the people.

The majority of citizens in America either voted for this, or didn't bother to vote against it. The country is at the very least complicit with what your politicians are doing.

There's definitely people that oppose what's happening; but they're showing themselves to be a quiet minority so far.

Don't agree with or support what's happening? Rise up and make yourself heard; because so far your leaders and the world can't hear you. You may not have the freedom to do so, soon enough.

That is one beefy fan for a rpi.

I've just got a case similar to this; but all snap together, no screws:

The fan runs off the pin headers. Meant for 5v, but I use the 3.3v line to run it a little quieter/slower.

Even that makes a good 10°c difference.

What is the api error (click on the red box)?

Likely unable to reach the host provided.

In paperless' docker compose, set 'container_name:' to 'paperless' or similar, then use that same name as the host given to homepage:

   widget:
     type: paperlessngx
     url: "http://paperless:8000/"
     key: [key]

"code": "ETIMEDOUT"

Homepage is unable to reach the host you gave it. IP/hostname changed.

Don't use the IP of the container, use its name (which you should set in paperless' compose file: 'container_name: paperless')

I don't actually remember the models, just the story. This was around 2010.

My first job, I saved every penny I'd made working with my dad over the summer installing wood-pellet and solar heating systems in Australia.

Took that to my local computer shop and picked out a laptop I'd had my eye on for the whole year (I don't even remember the brand on this one tbh, too long ago for my crap memory). It was the last one they had of that model; so they had to take the display unit, format it, and give me that. Halfway through that process they shut it down and handed it to me; said I could turn it on at home and it would finish re-installing windows and all would be good. (spoiler, no it was not)

When I got it home, it refused to start at all. After a bunch of screwing around (pretty new to computers, didn't really know what I was doing and had no one with tech experience around me) I took it back to the store and was told it had corrupted the recovery partition it was re-installing windows from and would have to be sent to the manufacturer to be fixed.

From there we decided to trade it with a slightly cheaper HP laptop (HP Pavilion I think? One of their models with a fingerprint scanner and dual graphics) that became my gaming machine for the next like 7 years. Plus because of this being the shops screwup: they gave me a 1tb usb drive, a laptop bag, and a random wifi router all for free. That drive saved me soo many times holding important data while I screwed up the OS and reinstalled crap while I experimented and learned. Then the router got DDWRT flashed to it and became a wifi client bridge for connecting wired clients to wifi during LAN parties. That poor laptop went through hell; being the testbed and primary machine for my teenage shenanigans, but it held up pretty well considering. Stripping it apart once a year or so to clean all the dust out and refresh the factory thermal paste helped quite a bit.

A fond memories. It all works out in the end.

Eventually I replaced that laptop with a custom built rig housing an i7-8700k and an RTX3080 that now hosts 30ish docker services and serves media to friends+family ~12 solid hours a day on average.

Thanks for comming on my walk down nostalgia lane.

Honestly I think this is the right move.

Pull the feature and tell the public that the government won't permit the public to secure their own data.

"I have security and privacy features for you, but your government won't let you use them"

Set the public against this overreach.

They make modern versions for cats. But putting your baby in one...?

Maybe the parents weren't watching the kid close enough and they climbed in there on their own.
