Could work with a quote from the script. Something like: “300 lives of men I have walked this earth, only now have I heard the stupidest thing ever.”

It is suspicious that the bot “found” cloudflare without it being mentioned…

Remind me in the morning, I’ll take it down for investigation.

Perhaps they were referring to the space in “PIRATE IT”, and how you’d start a sentence in that screed with a space.

Many thanks, added to the database.

Happy to take definitions and plug them into the database, if you have them to hand. If not, I’ll put aside a few minutes this weekend to look them up.

I had this problem on Graphene, but (in the UK at least) there are alternative wallet apps. I’m on Curve myself.

Huh, so it’s doing this on every thread… Let me investigate.

What is gun snow, and where would I find it?

This sounds like passive suicidal ideation: something that’s always there in the back of the mind, but not about to be actively acted on. To quote Anna Borges:

I don’t always want to be alive. Yes, I mean it. No, you shouldn’t be afraid for me. No, I’m not in danger of killing myself right now. Yes, I really mean it. How do you explain that?

I keep her article in my bookmarks, and re-read now and then: https://theoutline.com/post/7267/living-with-passive-suicidal-ideation

There was an idea mooted over on Mastodon, that Flight Sim will be renamed Copilot Copilot. Rolls off the tongue.

I’m hosting the Decronym bot on a single-user instance, and it’s a real pain. The bot’s been down for weeks, actually, because an upgrade failed with some obscure error around the database schema…

I’ve ended up just today, wiping the whole thing and starting over, losing all data and having to refederate the bot. So yeah, I wouldn’t recommend.

[Acronyms to help the bot re-establish: LVM, HASS, k8s]

Really enjoyed the Daily Show’s quip about ushering in “a communist 9/11”, where every building takes a little damage.

418 is always a little disappointing though. Lots of projects out there touting their “full HTCPCP compatibility” when all they do is serve 418 to every request; no actual coffeepots I could find last time I looked.

Right, I self-host email and have done for ten years or more, but I don’t do it out of a server at home. Does my Postfix not count as selfhosting any more?

As I understand it, ricing a machine is to excessively modify it to achieve more speed, users of Gentoo being the origina ricers in the Linux world.

The term itself has dubious and arguably racist origins, in the world of modification of Japanese cars for street racing.

So this came up with this user a few days ago, and apparently ð fell out of use later in Old English and its usage was merged into þ for hundreds of years.

I remain unconvinced.

In landfill, but not as raw material. If you didn’t already know how to make bronze, for example, you’d have a hell of a time making new bronze based on old contaminated remnants.

The argument has been made that, even if another intelligence arises in 100 million years, there are multiple problems for them: the Sun will be burning hotter by then, easily accessible raw material will all have been used up (Cyprus is no longer covered in surface-level raw copper, for example), we’ll probably irradiate the surface on our way out, etc.

I’ve actually written exactly that before, when I needed to check the lowest bit in an SQL dialect with no bitwise operators. It was disgusting and awesome.

Would you happen to be willing to throw work to random out-of-work devs who aren’t in your city? I may know a couple over here in England…
