@skinnylatte oh interesting! This beverage is from where I'm from. The version in my town is cold, and it's just masa, cacao and sugar and it's served in a jícara (which is the dried out bottom part of a calabash/crescentia plant). We call it pozol, which is not to be confused with pozole. Comes from Mayan influences so it's more Southern Mexico and Central America

@skinnylatte panuchos are SO good. These look amazing

😭😭😭

@onekind @skinnylatte and Puebla is where it originated, then spreading to the rest of the country. I myself prefer the central or southern style preparation, in northeast Mexico they like a dryer rub that doesn't work as well for me.

In Puebla you can find pita bread stuffed with al pastor meat with a tahini based sauce and it's delicious. They're usually called Tacos Árabes

I think we as Gay men (a part of the LGBTQ community I'm familiar with) will be much better off in Social Media if we stopped engaging with accounts that steal ANY content.

Following photo collecting accounts like HotLeatherMen or SexyCowboys or any account with a similar name that only posts media stolen from other places just opens the door to you not knowing who is real or not.

If you follow anyone that has a bio that says "posting what I like" or "will remove upon request", just stop engaging with it.

It's bad enough that they rarely credit the original, but even when they do, just go follow the real person

San Francisco things

Listening to the updated re-release of Unspooled's episode of Back to the Future and they mention how this scene with the church lady raising money is NOT about fixing the clock, but keeping it broken. Her group is against progress.

"Mayor Wilson is sponsoring an initiative to REPLACE that clock."

"We think it should be PRESERVED exactly the way it is, as part of our history and heritage"

OMFG I've seen Back to the Future many many many times and it wasn't until reading this in Michael J. Fox's book that I realized when he drives over the pine tree in 1955, the mall's name is different when he gets back to 1985 🤯

Ha! Maybe next one will be in the kitchen with the pug

Pugs went on a car ride today

I like that Signal is adding secure backups. Initial release only supports this being uploaded to their own server (encrypted with your own, private recovery key). You can pay for storing more than 45 days of media, otherwise it's free.

Self-hosting this is coming later, and that's the best solution. As well as cross-platform support.

@robdaemon fuuuck that

@skinnylatte ok! I shall try to find a bag!

@skinnylatte huh! Subscribing to review

Advanced Gay is a very good episode. It has a lot of great lines. It has aged, somewhat well...

One of Ira's Keep Its today was about sites that try to scam people into paying more for the now required UK ETA Visa, but that's not really the source of the problem. He mentioned it because when Googling, the scammy links popped up at the top instead of the official UK link.

So, the Keep It should be to Google. Stop using Google.

Kagi, DuckDuckGo and Bing (DDG uses Bing) showed me the right result right away. Google also does this, but I have a bunch of shit turned off by default on Google to make it usable

I installed PeaNUT using a Proxmox Script, but I'm finding that the documentation around setting up an InfluxDB for historical data is non-existent, and the only option mentioned is using a docker container, but since the Proxmox Script installed with node, I'll probably just redo the whole think with docker.

I tried installing influx in the Debian container but it's not working

The City of San Diego sent a notice to all residents about charging for refuse collection (trash, recycling and greens). Currently this is "free" for all residential properties as part of the original city charter. A few years ago we voted on a measure that would allow the city to make changes to the charter, and this proposal is part of that.

I'm very torn about this because the city says they have a shortfall of funds in the budget. Charging for refuse collection would collect around 80 million USD to cover operations. This was more expensive than originally forecast because they forgot to include truck maintenance costs (as I heard from one of my ALC riding friends who works for the city. There are at least 3 gay city employees riding I recently found out).

If this proposal gets rejected, the city will have to cut funds to other programs.

Of course they NEVER say they will make cuts to the SDPD's 673 million budget and continue to give them more money every year. 593M in 2023, to 628M in 2024 to 679M in 2025.

So I both want to submit a rejection of the proposal but also want to make sure city projects get properly funded.

Moving all the VMs and containers from a Thinkcentre to the Big NAS so I can add this host to the Proxmox cluster and then move things back.

Pretty easy to do with PBS. I will have to move the USB Zigbee and Zwave dongles so Home Assistant runs temporarily on the other box.
