But you have to post it when you record it… Please.

Beat me to it. My favorite quote that I use all the time.

I was trying to remember the main title of this but could only recall “nazis from the dark side of the moon” - thanks and seconded.

Killdeer are notorious for this : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killdeer#Responses_to_predators

It mildly amuses me to be walking and a killdeer pretending to debilitated hobbling in front of me with a ““broken wing”” until I’m far enough from the nest (that I never saw or looked for) that it takes flight and heads out.

You read the articles?

You’re supposed to immediately shitpost based on the post title. At least, that’s how I learned to Lemmy

Hey, I’ve been there.

Heads up, don’t ever go to Salem even remotely close to Halloween. We didn’t think about it and happened to be there the first week of October and it was insanely crowded. I asked a local and they said it was “calm” compared to how it gets around Halloween.

Though you should visit TST while you’re there. You can touch (or even sit on) the baphomet statue.

I’ve been leery about bitwarden client updates since the posts awhile back about the new(ish) PE/VC c suite person.

I’m not saying those are related in any way other than the fact that I intentionally haven’t updated my clients to the latest yet and for once it worked out for me :)

Still available via my VPN node in India but I don’t know if that actually means anything.

Once I met a group on a 50km trail where a significant other inserted themselves in a “friends trip” but had never hiked more than a few km and had definitely never done multi day backpacking

… It went about as well as you’d think.

We got part of the story from the couple as we checked on them, and the full story when we caught up with the rest of the group a few hours later.

The group said they’d tried to talk the noob out of it multiple times and invited them on multiple short shakedowns but no…

Years ago I installed Mint on an elderly parents laptop and said “that icon is your web browser”. They’ve used it for 8 years without a single problem.

Step 2: find domains of people/companies you don’t like and set a calendar reminder for when their domain expires so you can be petty and make fun of them with a parody site if they forget to renew.

… Or is that just me?

I had to create an account with apple the other day and apparently “myname@mydomain.dev” isn’t a valid email address… Guess if it’s not a .com then it’s not real :/

Of course it ate shit when i tried to use a burner Gmail too, but in a different way. Fuck them for requiring an account to download the xcode CLI tools

I thought I just heard a story on NPR about how (lab) Lyme disease tests are varied and fickle where one might test positive and another negative

… Guess I’m going down a research hole.

By “artificial problem” you mean the problem that they created… Right?

… Right?

I’m going to claim this one wasn’t entirely my fault and should have been coded better… But I ran it.

I ran a script that expected to run from a bin directory, cd/chdir to a input file directory, then do a sed on every file to replace windows line endings to UNIX/Linux line endings. After that it would start loading and processing them.

The problem was, if the directory it tried to change to didn’t exist, it silently continued and ran it on the current directory… You know, the bin directory… With all the compiled C binaries.

So at about 16:30 on a Friday, 30 min before we started our huge weekend builds, I nuked about 70% of the binaries by randomly replacing all bytes that looked like crlf with lf. Turns out binaries didn’t like that.

Good times.

I’ve got 30+ years of fuck ups under my belt so I know to avoid those and create brand new, innovative, fuck ups… You can’t just teach that.

Yes

I’ve never known anyone who said Harley’s were good for anything besides"style"

… This includes several people who owned Harley’s.

Never had one myself so I can’t speak from personal experience.

It’ll take a lot for me to move from silverbullet.md but I’m always up for checking out alternatives : D

I’ll give this a spin tonight

Yep. A few months ago the 1TB “King fast” m.2 that came in a $150 refurb tinyQ died. Replacement drive was… I want to say $160? (Locally, needed it ASAP)

I should’ve opened the case up when I got the PC and noticed the obvious knock off/garbage SSD but I can’t honestly say I’m surprised.
