Destroy Role Models: Why Female Characters Don’t Need to Be ‘Good’

Female Characters = Role Models?? NO THANKS If I never hear the term ‘good role models’ applied to female characters ever again, it won’t be a moment too soon! When was the last time you heard a male character described as a good role model? Yeah, exactly —…

Bang2write · Destroy Role Models: Female Characters Don't Have To Be 'Good'Too often, female characters are supposed to be good role models. B2W's Lucy V breaks down why this is an own goal.

I'm trying to figure out how best to maintain all these native herbaceous perrenials here in the Great Lakes area and I'm running into conflicting goals.

On the one hand, it seems I'm supposed to burn (or approximate) to clear out the old dry growth and allow the sun to warm the soil early in the spring. On the other hand, the dried stems and whatnot are wintering habitat for all the little bug buddies.

Am I missing something?

Never buy something that says it's "tactical,".

That usually means it's useless unless it's actually a piece of military equipment. In that case it wouldn't have the "tactical," name because that's already assumed.

Tactical just means it's styled to look like it's something that the military would use, and is probably cheaply made and just looks cool.

Just buy a reputable brand of whatever tool or thing you're trying to get.

It won't be garbage in a disaster.

If anyone ever accuses you of being wrong about something obvious, and demands sources immediately, there is a very simple way to make them look dumb -

Ask them for their sources that you're wrong.

When they say they don't have any, pull the same tactic they usually use and go "OH! No sources? Guess you have no clue what you're talking about then,".

It destroys their attempt to waste your time.

If they actually do go look and you're correct, they'll learn something too

I am running #PhotoPrism on a Raspberry Pi 5 with 8GB of RAM, using a 1TB SSD as the main and only drive, using the Pimoroni NVMe Base.

So far, I could not properly measure the performance, because I don’t know how to do it, but I am satisfied! Yet, this is definitely not a future-proof solution, since I need way more storage: I still haven’t imported most of my pictures there, and I need to prepare for plenty more to come.

The simplest (yet quite pricey, 261£) option would be to get a Pimoroni NVMe Duo and maximize it with a total of 4TB NVMe SSDs.

I think this is not optimal, though, and probably I could be spending all that money much better… Do you have any advice?

The thing about hosting a personal media gallery is that it requires a lot of resources when indexing the pictures (so only when you add new ones), then it’s super light—correct me if I am wrong, @photoprism. Hence, I’m thinking the best would be an extensible solution where I can add many HDDs and SSDs, without being forced to pump up the other specs too. I would probably be using just one NVMe SSD for the software and the database, and then save everything else in high-performance HDDs, since they are getting cheap and I can get much more storage with less money—of course I am performing a daily backup off-site, as they are more likely to fail, too.

If I am 100% sure that whatever I end up choosing will be solid for many years to come, I am willing to consider spending a bit more on it.

10 Brutal Writing Lessons You’ll Wish You Learned Sooner (I’m Not Kidding)

10 Brutal Writing Lessons I’m not a fan of the term ‘brutal honesty’. This is because too often, the person being honest is paying more heed to the brutality than the honesty. Yuk. No thanks! That said, sometimes we all need a hardcore reality…
