I guess it’s from January and not out-of-the-box new. But it was new to me.

This could almost be funny if the reverse side said something like “He’s too heavy for me”. Even then, it would only work because you’re expecting a “haha marriage bad” reference.

They aren’t the cheapest, but I really like using GripStics to reseal bags. As long as the bag is not made of a very thick material, you can get an airtight seal (Eg, good for plastic-y foiled bags, not so good for a bag of flour made out of paper). There’s no mechanical movement at all, so they’ll never break.

I don’t eat at many expensive restaurants, but that plating reminds me of watching the old Japanese Iron Chef episodes, and how 90’s the food presentation is. Sometimes I look at the (probably delicious) dishes made on that show, and the presentation looks as unappetizing as a 1960’s salad jello. I lack the right words as a culinary critic, but this style seems like “what people 30-40 years ago expected fancy food to look like”.

The episode where Neelix dies and gets ressurrected by Borg technology is up there as one of the best Voyager episodes. I’m just annoyed that Neelix’s new relationship with religion and death never comes up again in later episodes.

want to get away from big tech

This is what the bathroom from the house on Blue Lick Road looks like after renovation.

There was nothing RESTful or well planned about this API’s interfaces, and the work to do something like that would have been nontrivial. Management never prioritized the work.

At a prior job, our API load balancers would swallow all errors and return an HTTP 200 response with no content. It was because we had one or two clients with shitty integrations that couldn’t handle anything but 200. Of course, they brought in enough money that we couldn’t ever force them to fix it on their end.

I don’t see how this can lead to anything good.

The democrats have given ground on immigration every damn election. What it’s ‘won’ is base level of support to put brown people in concentration camps across the political spectrum. The whole “I love immigrants, but if they come here illegally they deserve to be punished” argument can’t stand up to the truth that the inhuman conditions in these camps are far in excess of justice.

On paper I understand that the democratic party can’t guarantee that every member holds the same view on trans rights. In practice we already have evidence that yes, the slope is indeed quite slippery.

Are you able to independently confirm that the domaincheck container is listening to the right port? Eg netstat -tunlp on the host

I think you’d be hard-pressed to find a LinkedIn alternative. It’s too business-oriented for anyone to care that it’s under corporate control. In some sense, that’s the whole point.

My understanding of Friendica is that it’s supposed to fill a niche similar to Facebook. I’ve never used it though.

Every time my GF Nicole joins a new instance, I make an account on there too. She’s a bit of a fediverse chick.

I understand what you’re saying, but his experiment allowed the embryos to come to term and be born as human babies. Scientists have worked with human embryos before and avoided similar outcry by not allowing them to develop further (scientific outcry, not religious). Calling his work an experiment on human embryos ignores the fact that he always intended for his work to impact the real lives of real humans who would be born.

Are you able to block it from your user settings page? There’s a tab for adding communities/users to your blocklist.

I use it whenever I want to block a community, but I don’t want to visit their page.

My brain will rupture in rage if Newsom becomes the 2028 Democratic presidential candidate.

I wish it hadn’t taken until this past year for me to notice how willing the dems are to horse trade people’s rights in the name of “business as usual”.

There definitely are FOSS projects run by the US government: Ghidra is an open source reverse engineering tool developed by the NSA.

I switched from that container to one that uses qbittorrent and a VPN.

qBittorrent web UI works better on a phone for my use case, and I kept having to manually restart the transmission container whenever the VPN connection dropped.

Looks like bigfoot to me
