@skinnylatte perfect! Were gonna do that tomorrow for lunch I think! Thanks again!

@skinnylatte oooh yeah .. too rich for thos trip (brought my 3yo son for whom that experience might not be fully appreciated). Maybe date night though! Ty!

I appreciate all your help! I miss the SF Bay but everything is different since we left during the first year of the pandemic.

@skinnylatte We will be here for a few nights so if you have a rec for Chinese/ Japanese in San Mateo, then we might go another night! I remember there are some pretty good ramen shops out here.

@skinnylatte This one? https://los-moreno-taqueria.hunan-cafe.com/

Asking for my wife who wants Mexican food while we are in the SF Bay Area, btw.

We used to go to Mami Chellis in Menlo Park before we moved away but dont know San Mateo at all.

Best Mexican restaurant or take out in or near #SanMateo of #SF Bay Area?

@kernellogger I'm really disappointed with that response, tbh.

Yeah partly because I want to see Rust expand its footprint everywhere, but partly because I do think that the maintainer could have just left it at "I'm unable to maintain non-C code in the codebase at this time" without calling Rust or other programming languages "cancers".

I'm actually glad that this was raised on social media so I can learn what contributing in open source is like in projects like this.

@kernellogger In professional work and more, blockers need to say "here is what I need in order to say `yes`" instead of just offering a blanket "no". Then, they are part of the solution rather than impeding it.

The maintainer failed this, and therefore demonstrated that this was personal to them rather than about whats best for the codebase that they maintain.

Maybe thats viable for open source projects, but it hasn't worked for me in professional settings.

Stop doom scrolling for a moment to celebrate this environmental win[1]:

> "The Montana Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld a district court ruling in the nation’s first constitutional climate change trial, affirming that the youth plaintiffs have a “fundamental constitutional right to a clean and healthful environment” while revoking two Montana statutes."

@CWilbur Would love to see youth start a movement to do this in other states (if there are state laws / constitutions that would enable them to do so).

I thought firefish was super promising but it never stabilized so I deleted my account there.

Im already established now but sharkey does sound cool.

Maybe thats the place we should be nudging people to who are toe-dipping in the fediverse.

[edit: "tow" dipping != "toe dipping" - an idiom to mean 'testing the water's temperature for suitability for swimming']

@liztai If.you aren't already can I recommend following @kepano and @nicole ?

@liztai Oh, Im with you! I remember having to load games by switching disks.

@liztai Ok, just to be "funny" in a pedantic sort of way, I want to point out that, as stated, you claim to have about 5.25" of space for RAM in your brain.

A typical high-density DIMM with 32GB of RAM has a volume of approximately 0.4 inches x 2.7 inches x 0.15 inches = 0.01575 cubic inches whereas that 5.25" floppy disk has about 5.5 cubic inches.

So you effectively have about 11,168 GB of RAM in your brain.

Sorry for being the neck beard to point this out.

Nerd sniped myself and stayed up way too late updating my #RaspberryPi 2 to the latest OS version, so I could get #nushell running on it.

Also played around with the #jellyfin media server which was surprisingly easy to get started.

Still figuring out a safe/secure way to ssh into the pi from outside the home and safely expose the pi to the internet at large.

Doing a #ReverseProxy and putting a #VPN on the router are tasks that are not quite as straight forward.

If we really want to decentralize the internet again, we absolutely must make it easier for folks to host their own web presence.

People like the idea of decentralization until they're asked to ssh into a headless server via a reverse-proxied vpn in order to compile their own binary due to the compile target being an older 32-bit arm architecture.

How could we make it easy to turn the old phones and raspberrypis in a drawer/box into secure webservers to host the decentralized web?
