oh my god

i love this idea so much. I’ve been doing networking for 13 years now and I’ve never considered a dynamically addressed gateway

I’m just happy that we have more DSA members and progressives in congress. They’re still a smallish group, but I’m hoping that there may be enough of them to push truly progressive policy.

It also looks like Alaska kept its ranked-choice voting in a ballot initiative. I’m really hoping that we start to see that spread. There were also several independent candidates that did really well, which might be a sign that people are more willing to listen to 3rd parties. Fucking Chuck Schumer is already vaccilating about universal healthcare, and I’d really like for him to go get a nice swirly and then shut the fuck up.

I bought those fancy knipex auto strippers and I Will Not Be Parted From Them™. Shit is so good.

I host an instance for my own personal use. It lives on my local network and nowhere else. I just use wg-tunnel on my phone to automagically VPN home when I’m out. It’s just not worth the headache to expose it publically IMO.

Exactly this. My troop had 50 boys and 100 adults and was all the better for it. The adults let us choose what we wanted to do and then helped to ensure it was done safely and with discipline. Parents should deffo get involved.

I think that scouting helped me in a lot of ways, although the whole “help people with a smile on your face” has caused some major difficulties in my life w.r.t. self-care. I did OA stuff, Silver Moccasin one year and then followed up teaching at the next year’s event, and submitted my Eagle paperwork on my 18th birthday (late 2000s). I was openly an atheist, but my scoutmaster and many of the other adults in the troop (we had 50 kids and 100 adults) were very understanding, and I was able to pass my eagle board of review by talking about how I was still a spiritually active person.

I had a pretty ideal experience, and I’m glad I participated. I still use stuff that I learned, and scouting helped me discover that my limits were much further than I thought.

I’m sad that something which had the potential to be helpful turned into a nightmare for so many kids. If I had kids I might still look into some of the local troops, but I’d have to be heavily involved in order to feel comfortable.

why not‽

I do on occasion. I was very frustrated when I learned that left and right comes as naturally as up and down for most people.

Sold! This is exactly what I’ve been looking for, and I love that the owner is on the fediverse. Thanks for the recommendation and little writeup.

EDIT: The site is also written and run without any use of LLMs or other gen AI whatsoever, so that’s a huge plus!

I have a friend who is absolutely obsessed with roller coasters, but many parks don’t allow you to wear a body camera (to say nothing of phones, you’re absolutely not allowed to hold a recording device). Like, this guy will ride the same coaster back to back for hours and will absolutely watch a recording. He bought a pair for this one purpose. I would not have bought them and he definitely felt extremely conflicted. I think he keeps them in a case at all times and only wears them when he’s about to get on a ride.

Basically, he only bought them as an action camera alternative. He doesn’t use any of their creepy social media features.

I did some searching but couldn’t find it. I’m also quite curious.

When you use a scrubby sponge on a scorched pan, the scrubby part becomes much darker and seems gross and dirty. It can be very difficult to remove the gross brown stain from the sponge. People like to use sponges for a while, but nobody wants to use the gross brown poop sponge, so folks attempt to clean them. This process is extremely frustrating.

Manjaro isn’t Arch. Doesn’t use the same repos.

kubectl delete enemy --all made me fucking snort.

When I had a Samsung TV, I hated it intensely and printed a label that said “scamsung.” That TV eventually went to the recyclers with that label still covering the Samsung one.

McDonalds→McDicks→McPenis. I’m mature.

This mirrors my experience. I -Syu on a weekly basis, spend about 3 minutes doing pacnews, and then I’m done.

What is this from?

well that’s no fun!

Only possible AI thing I see is .zed in the .gitignore, but that’s not an indicator of LLM usage. Plenty of people use zed with all AI features disabled.

god, I still love this meme so much after all these years.

EDIT: Jesus Christ, it’s from 2007.
