Worked with a guy a while back who got Botox. Guy was in his late 20s and hated his “wrinkles”.

It’s addictive, according to him.

If you’re scrappy, you can just dumpster dive for your groceries.

The UN is largely ineffective due to the security council. The fact that one country can effectively shut down a vote is the opposite of the Federation of Planets.

Now that I think of it, of course the UN is ineffectual. It’s set up like the US system of legislature. A powerful smaller body that is largely disproportionate to the rest of the world fully controls everything the UN does.

You should know that there is no longer an official syncthing app and a clone has taken its place. It’s buggy but it works.

Permissions are a bit tricky to set up but I believe the clone app does it correctly by asking for full file browsing permissions.

AGPL sort of requires this and I’ve started to use it in projects that run on networks. The problem I’ve seen is that so many cloud providers use software with permissive licenses like MIT.

Honestly, more projects need to switch to licenses that require contributions back to the source if you publicly built upon it.

My company, for example, has a FOSS scanner and rejects any library that has copyleft provisions. I imagine most companies do. The corporate world would become absolutely fucked if every package decided to use GPL.

And just a reminder how one developer fucked over companies by removing his library from npm.

My only complaint with KeePass is that if any corruption occurs, your passwords are borked. I use KeePass for non-critical accounts, like Lemmy, etc. I don’t trust myself or the sync enough for storing my bank or other identity passwords.

Absolutely LOVE syncthing. I recently had to go on an emergency trip and was glad I set up syncthing on my phone but hated that I didn’t set it up properly on my laptop.

If it were easy everyone would do it.

I feel like black is better at hiding detail. Women’s slips are black vs white for example.

Why doesn’t this surprise me? A media conglomerate buying a media rating website so it can control the stats.

I have a terrible back but love gardening so I invested in 3 foot high bins. They are a life saver for not only my back but keeps rabbits from eating the vegetables. If you get the right soil mixture you don’t have to worry about the weeds.

The dirt…you can’t do much about that except hydroponics like you said but that has its drawbacks too. At the end, you do what helps you and keeps you happy.

My biggest issue at this point is mosquitoes so I’ve started wearing long pants and a light jacket. That seems to have helped things.

My experience with using grocery store bought garlic is mixed. When it did work, it grew a lot of leaves but not the bulb. When I researched this, it’s because garlic requires specific soil conditions to grow its bulbs.

But bulb aside, garlic is a good natural critter repellent. It’s good to grow around lettuce and kale. Though I haven’t found a good cover plant to keep white butterflies away. Right now I’m using netting which they can sometimes find a way into.

Rush Mount-more

The history of our country has shown that so long as people are involved, corruption can occur. There is no test that can be written so sanely that only “the right people” pass.

As someone who has a garden and has successfully grown garlic from cut ends of store bulbs…

It’s not worth the labor.

I garden, yes, but the economy of scales of buying at the grocery store is much lower than growing your own vegetables. You garden because you want to enjoy vegetables that are either heirloom or you want the freshness.

Between the labor, watering, fertilizing, maintaining, etc. it’s simply cheaper to buy at the store.

Were you both Christian and your partner fell out of it?

Would you mind sharing your automation yaml for the garden lights? I’d love to do more with Bluetooth beacons but don’t know enough about how they work to do anything with them.

The only way they can bifurcate Trump from MAGA is if they have an equally “charismatic” strongman that can take his place. It would especially help if he’s young.

And it’s not Vance.

Because conservatives don’t care about fair reporting. They want their reporting.

There’s a saying: facts have a liberal bias.

If you really want to get into the history, there is a Behind the Bastards episode where they talking about how during the Nixon scandal, conservatives saw that once the public was made aware of the link between Nixon and the thieves, the country turned on them.

They noticed that the facts were assumed to be true. That’s why they started attacking power journalists like Walter Cronkite because their names were associated with facts.

After Nixon, conservatives attacked the Fairness Doctrine rule. And Fox News was born.
