Can we talk about the reddit spam too? Like how they allow bots to sign up accounts, with random email addresses. Which then sends spam/verify emails, with no recourse? I want to block new accounts to my email, but I have no options.

The eBay AstroTurf in this thread is real. eBay is a hot piece of garbage, just go watch testimonials of sellers getting ripped off with no recourse.

That being said I don't really care whether either end of the sale goes through.

I think you are incorrect. Compared to modern concrete, roman concrete was more poorly cured at the time of pouring. So when it began to weather and crack, un-cured concrete would mix with water and cure. Thus it was somewhat self healing.

Modern concrete is more uniform in mix, and thus it doesn't leave uncured portions.

I tried rt, but it was really slow. I typically am taking pub league sports photos. So I try to get through them fast. Dark table really scratched the itch there.

There are some bugs, like batched styles seem to be... order dependent. But its been suiting my needs for a few years.

Hello internet friend. I may be able to make your life easier for 4.

You can use aws vault to open the aws console using roles:

    aws-vault --help
    usage: aws-vault [<flags>] <command> [<args> ...]
    ...
    login [<flags>] [<profile>]
        Generate a login link for the AWS Console.
Which when combined with this plugin: https://github.com/blimmer/zsh-aws-vault

You can just to `avli some-role` and it will pop up in the browser in a new profile.

The only downside here is that you can't combine them into one window.

But it takes the pain out of logging in, and 2 factor, etc.

Locust has been useful for load testing. We don't use their cloud offering, anyone have any thoughts on what is being lost in the self hosted version vs cloud.

I did build a charybdis, and I daily it. Its been great typing wise. I don't have any wrist issues anymore.

The trackball I don't use for any precision actions. Its useful if I want to hit a tab, or move to the other monitor. But trying to hit small links for example is painful. (That being said I am using the stock bearings, which don't seem to work well)

It was a significant expense for a keyboard, especially being a kit. Albeit my wrists are worth it.

I personally only really noticed that I did not like the "after dark" style reddits. But I would generally try to ignore anything political, and focus on like craft/hobby content, media (but not tabloid style), and things not a commentary.

Reddit (or socially generated sites) are really a mixed bag.

Yeah I started with memories for nextcloud. But it was buggy/slow unfortunately.

Being able to scroll to dates with immich is golden. And the facial recognition is on device and works great.

I always enjoyed Garry's blog.

It just seemed like a public diary. And a place to vent about dev,life,w/e. He seems to be unapologetic-ally himself.

Although I was pretty sure there used to be more posts (although maybe I'm conflating his posts there with his contributions to his old forums.)

Todays game of was it AI generated?

The compact size of the Mac mini, which packs a powerful System on a Chip (SoC) into a tiny footprint.The energy efficiency of Apple silicon (M-series) chips, which allows high density without overheating or excessive power draw.

This really adds nothing to the article, and looks like AI fluff to me.

Combine that with there being a bold section in like every single paragraph, I'm going to assume yes

I find myself struggling to connect. I feel like we live in a dystopian period where its too easy to sit and doom scroll, and most people don't find enough value in just spending time getting to know each other, or economic pressures make social endeavours too expensive for many people I know.
