I'm surprised there hasn't been a Z-Lib/Anna's like movement for spec documents. Given how tech savvy the default audience of those documents are.

For many relevant specs you can find "draft versions" that are essentially the final version without the official stamp on the open web so there isn't that much of a need.

I mean anna's have most specs and if you know where to look there are IPFS and torrent sources for large portions of entire spec libraries.

Is there any difference in moving Photos Library.photoslibrary to an external HDD and then pointing Photos.app at that?

Not in my experience, previously ran it setup externally with a shared library for at least a year or longer, https://support.apple.com/en-ca/108345. Typically I backup to external drive 2 ways, copy of library itself and unmodified export, only had to go through above after I needed to rebuild the laptop. OP app and or https://photosbackup.app/ , seems like they might enhance my setup, will have to take a closer look.

There's some technical reason (or non-reason) why Mac OS does not accept the System photolibrary on an external disk. It prevents certain things from happening which may or may not mater to you. Otherwise you can switch librarys by holding Option during photo bootup.

The call is coming from inside the house.


We have a recent model Roborock and it was hands-down the best unboxing and setup experience I've had of any tech product.


Hopefully not the one with cameras that’s sending imagery of your home up to the cloud.


Q5 with Lidar only. The floor plan mapping is impressive.


Is your house that embarrassing?


I can't believe that people are this blasé about their privacy. Once something like images of your home are in the cloud you no longer control them. We should be fiercely guarding our privacy and our ability to not be monitored.


Bought a Roborock and expected it to be ”meh” at cleaning but it does vaccum better than I would (and can do it more often). Had no problems with it so far.


Acquired 4 months ago, rebranding now.


On a global level it's completely pervasive.

This is the US in a nutshell. And then they wonder why the deficit is so high? Most expensive healthcare. Most expensive incarceration. Most expensive childcare. Most expensive infrastructure projects. Endless list.


The "deficit" is high because USD is the world reserve currency, and the government policy is to prevent natural deflation. The "deficit" should really be called the surplus as it represents the centralized gains of progress from everybody who is still willing to invest in America despite that collection.

The popular political movement aimed at reducing the "deficit" is really just part of the larger global movement to destroy the US's world leadership position, hence the related goal of ruining our relationships with our allies and whatnot.

Having said that, I agree that the dynamic here is a horrible waste of resources. Housing someone in an SRO (single room occupancy) without guards would cost like one quarter of what jail/prison costs.
